New to e-cigs

[Rhetoric Camel]

Hello everyone, this is my first post on the board.

I just bought the njoy NPro and have taken probably 10-15 drags off my first cart. It's not the best tasting in the world but it's not bad, and I almost feel like I get a small buzz. The taste is sweet but not in the best way. Using the first high nicotine cart that came with it, which I believe is 18mg (not very knowledgable about that but I think thats what I've read)

I also went on a site and bought some Camel flavor e-juice so that I don't have to keep buying carts. Now when I bought it I hadn't recieved the e-cig yet and I was thinking "well I smoke a pack a day so 18mg wont be enough let me try the 24mg stuff" so I'm still waiting for that to show up. But because of the feeling I get from smoking the 18mg that came with the NPRO I have realized that maybe buying the 24mg is a bad idea since it will probably just increase my nicotine habbit and thats not what I wanted to do.

Any ideas of what I can do to help dilute the e-juice Camel flavor I bought and bring it down to roughly 18mg? I read something about diluting it with propylen glycol, is that all I'll need to do that? Where do I buy it (can I get it from a local store or does it have to be ordered online)? Are there varieties of PG that are safe and some that aren't? What would be the best way to drop the 24mg to roughly 18mg, I'd like to be able to use what I bought before I buy more, but I don't want to use it at full strength because then when I buy again and get 18mg I'll be smoking more to try and get the nicotine I was in the 24mg.

Sorry for typing so much just want to be as thurough as possible.

oh another question, can I just put a few drops of the e-liquid in empty carts that I have that are dried up? Any specific cloth material I should or shouldn't use inside the cart? And where can I get blank carts for the NPRO?

YOu can use food grade glycerin to cut your juice. (look in the baking section of a supermarket - where they have the cake making stuff)
Those Njoy carts are pretty darn small - I couldn't fill em, I switched to a 901.

You can check puresmoker for the carts for their PeeWee - those are the same I believe as the Njoy. Npro.


Depending on your vaping habit, I normally use a medium strength liquid, but keep a 36mg handy in case I need a big hit! You'll figure out your personal method, either vaping a low all day long, or a high and not vaping as much.

Good Luck

I watched this video on youtube of a guy from the uk dripping about 2 or 3 drops of e-juice directly into the atomizer and putting the cart back on his ecig and being able to smoke it just like that. I did notice that the piece of cloth (whatever it is) in the cart is rather small, would I be able to use a syringe to inject that with the e-juice?

The carts just have polyester batting material in them. You can get a bag of the stuff at Wal-mart in the sewing section for about $6 that will last a year or two. You can also just wash out the old filler for a while, let it dry and then refill with liquid. Some people also use tea bags (without the tea ofcourse) cut to the desired length/shape.

Some people use a syringe but others don't, just drip right into the filler on the cart and use a paper clip to pull out the filler some as you drip.

You can also get USP glycerin (VG) at many drug stores for about $6 for 8 ounces to cut your juice.

You can also check out www.liquidxpress.com for juice, flavorings, VG, PG and instruments to mix/cut your own liquid.

thanks for all the help I appreciate it.

What is the mix ratio that I would need to use of PG and the Camel E-Liquid to bring it from 24mg to 18mg?

and just a quick wish for the cart. I wish that they made it softer feel for the lips instead of hard plastic, something more like a memory foam or something that squishes a little better like the filter of a cigarette, just to get that better feeling on the lips.

This might help:

2ml 36mg + 1ml PG/VG = 24mg
1.5ml 36mg + 1.5ml PG/VG = 18mg
1ml 36mg + 2ml PG/VG = 12mg
.5ml 36mg + 2.5ml PG/VG = 6mg

29.6ml = 1 ounce

I would think 2ml of 24mg + 1ml of VG/PG = 18mg

Of course if you are mixing already flavored liquid with VG or PG you are also going to water down the flavor. Most members buy unflavored 36mg, flavor it with flavorings from www.liquidxpress.com or LorAnn oils and then cut it down. This way you can make the flavor as strong as you want. But as you add flavor you need to adjust the VG to maintain the 18mg strength.

alright thanks again, I'm bad with measuring so this should be fun haha.

can I mix vg and pg together? And whats the difference between the two if they are not able to mix?
