New to E-Cigarettes and need some help

[Daunaangel]

Hi..I'm a newbie to the e-cigarette..my hubby and I went to the mall yesterday and they had a little stand in the middle of the aisles and we stopped and I decided to try this out (maybe where I bought it was my first mistake). I've been a smoker for about 10 years. I got the KIM 828. At first they had me try one that had a push button..but having to push a button while I smoked..I just couldn't get the hang of it and the one I have now is activated when I inhale..more like a real cigarette. Anyway...I took out a new atomized cartridge last night, put a drop of juice in it...and when I inhaled I got a mouthful of that liquid. It was pretty nasty and needless to say I haven't went back to it..and have once again started "lighting up" on cigs. I don't want to just give up after one day but I don't want to go through that again. Any suggestions would be sooo appreciated

Anyway...I took out a new atomized cartridge last night, put a drop of juice in it...and when I inhaled I got a mouthful of that liquid.

Looking at the pictures of that model, it appears as though it's a two piece design....cartomizer and battery. Why are you adding juice to a new cartomizer?

 

[Daunaangel]

They gave me juice to put in it when it ran out..that's why I a took out a brand new one and added a drop of juice like the guy at the stand told me. I have no idea what I'm doing with this thing. That's why I decided to post so I could get some good feedback and turn me the right direction. The box said they are Atomized cartilages...is a cartomizer something different?

Getting liquid in your mouth every now and then is normal. It's normally happens when A it's over filled, or two when your battery is weak. I normally blow into it just a touch to stop the issue with liquid getting on your lips. You get used to it really quick, and find out it's no big deal



I would look into getting a mod. I know it's a lot upfront, but your batteries stayed charged longer, the buttons are easier to push, and people don't notice them as much for some odd reason.


I would look at Nhaler, and altsmoke first to just give a few ideas out there.



And remember you didn't start smoking overnight. It did take a little time, and same with this it's not just a over night thing.

As always just ask if you have any questions.

Interesting product.

I did a web search, and saw the product, and that it is a new product, and has just started shipping, I especially like the "pack" it comes in, very spiffy.

Check the cartridges and see if they all look the same, the ones you will want to put drops into are the ones that have stuffing/cotton looking stuff in them.

Also, if the people here quit when they got a drop of juice in there mouth we would have ZERO members, using an e-cig takes some perseverance, trial and error, and a will to do it.

 

[oettinger]

I also think that is people sell these in stores as opposed to the internet that they should explain, and demonstrate how to use them.

Does the pack thingy charge the batteries, or does it just hold them?? I like the pack, it could be converted into an awesome looking mod.

cartomiers have a stuffing inside like what is in pillows, and of course the toaster wire that is in all of them.


Normal atomizers use a Nylon Wet Spin material wrapped around a glass dish that is heated by the toaster wire.


Cartomizers come pre-filled, and is a one peice unit. Normal atomizers AKA 901, 801, 510(popular names) have replaceable carts on the back. The same pillow stuffing that you find in the cartomizers.


If it does not look like it opens up it's a cartomizer, if you can remove the back in. Then it's the other normal kind of atomizer.

Cartomizers are normally less hassle, but they are considered disposable even more so than the other kind.


I hope this helps.

Atomized cartridge = Cartomizer
A one piece contruction instead of being separate

If you bought blank cartridges you'll need to add juice. If already filled, you overfilled it by adding juice and that's why you got a mouthful. Almost all kits come with carts w/juice already added.

Does your look like this?

If so, just put on a cartridge and draw. When the juice gets low you'll know by the lack of vapor and off taste.

Also, there is a ton of info about ecigs for new users on the forum. Check the sticky threads...The ECF Library - E-Cigarette Forum

I understand about it taking time to get used to and I will give it another try but having that juice go in my mouth gave me a bad taste in my mouth...literally! The atomized cartilage box said "Marl/MED" from what he (the guy at the place where I got it) told me the nictoine comes in "high" "med" or "low"...not sure if that's correct either but he gave me the "MED" one. Also..something I forgot to add in the first post..when he had me try this at the place he put a menthol tasting nicotene juice in there and that's what I had been doing the whole rest of the day but I personally don't smoke menthol cigs so I got tired of the taste of that one so I took out a new atomized cartilage that says "MARL/MED" on the box and put a drop of the juice in there like he had told me to do and that's when I got a mouthful of juice. I am wondering now if the cartilage is already pre-filled and I over filled it.

Parallex 2--That's almost what it looks like except it has a bridge atomizer. When u take it apart u can see it right there on the end and it looks almost like a cone..in a way.

Yeap oettinger...the pack itself charges them as well.

Thanks soo very much for all your help everyone..I really do appreciate your advice

 

[DaMulta]

Best way to use it. Take that stuffing out of the end of your cart. You can use it, but you will out smoke it anyways most of the time. You have to wait for it to catch up if you are smoking it fast.

Take your liquid, and then just put a drop or two on your cone. Then put the empty, or even with stuffing inside cart back on. 3 drops = 1 cig, and then just smoke/vape that off till the flavor changes.

That is if you have a bottle of liquid.

 

[oettinger]

See, I though it was a 401 style with atomizer... and it was in my post, and I edited it.

Make sure there is stuffing in the cart you are using. be sure it is not a hollow tube, atomizers, and some cartomizers are empty, and just put on to protect the battery or atomizers.

Just for information sake, what did it cost you?? Normally mall kiosks are WAY overpriced, but we have almost all been there. I really like the PCC though. Much cooler than the cigarette pack looking ones.

That's a 3 piece......

First, the most important item on the list. DO NOT GIVE UP on e-cigs.

There's a learning curve and everyone goes through it. Ask as many questions as you need to get answers to your questions. This is the place to get help and is full of people who will be happy to assist.

For the pack, and the liquid it was 174.00...and then they through in a car charger as well.
How do I clean the atomizer on this? I've read some say run warm water over it and let it dry but not sure if I can do that with mine or not. I'm asking this because even though I switched cartilages...and prolly over-filled it since I'm sure it was pre-filled now....that I can still taste the menthol from the original cartilage. I'm guessing that liquid is still on the atomizer.

 

[oettinger]

Digging through this companies badly English translated site, they have some cool stuff, I am curious what they cost.

KIMREE is build the first ODM brand, specifically designed for large customers.

[oettinger]

wow, double post... haven't done that in a while.

 

[Daunaangel]

I won't give up I'm feeling excited about trying it again because I'm getting such positive help from everyone here. I can't begin to tell you all how much I appreciate your help I so badly want to quit stinky cigs...so I'll definately be giving it another try

 

[DaMulta]

WOW-Sorry but your got ______ on that price.....
.
Welcome to ECF, and remember MOST people on here had the same issue at first with the price issue. Some vendors just love to throw SUPER high cost to people desperate to quit smoking cigs. Don't threat it tho, because switching over to the vapping world at any cost is worth it. Soon you will have your taste, breath, and smells back if you quit using cigs 100% in the coming weeks. Even while using this product.


Yes, you can just water threw them to clean them, and then just blow them out. Menthol is the WORST flavor to get out of your atomizer. I don't know why, but that flavor just really loves to stick.

 

[Daunaangel]

Oh I know!!! The tiny little manual that this thing came with...is just as badly prounounced english.
And...."We are constantly suprise the world!"...when my sis-in-law saw that yesterday..she couldn't help but crack up! Everyone needs a good laugh! LOL!

 

[GrimReaper]

yeah you got jipped out coulda got a very very nice 510 kit for 35 dollars and a big 30 ml thing of juice for 15 dollars...lol and id get an atomizer they tend to last longer at least for the ppl i know. also those pre filled carts are NOTHING compared to the different juices youll try mine were down right revolting!

also to clean soak them in hot water....or use rubbing alchol and let them soak in a lil cup of it. just make sure to blow out all the alc and fluid or let it drain for awhile..and again this is for atomizers. because the cartomizer which is both your blank cart and ato tends to be disposable after i think 10 refills or so...generally a ato is about 10 bucks im sure you can find cheaper though
