New to V4L Family

[Blue Skies]

Hi all! I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I have smoked for a majority of the last 7 years. I received my first Vapor4Life.com order yesterday and I am more than satisfied. I received everything I ordered and then some! The V4L team is amazing; I ordered on Monday the 21st and my order was shipped the very next day!

It has been about 36 hours since I last had an analog. I am so excited to finally find something that gets analogs out of my life without making me feel like a crazy fiend. You all seem really nice and welcoming here, so I wanted to post to give a big "Thank you!!" to the V4L team and to introduce myself to the family here.

One quick question. When I vape on the VaporKing (regular, auto), it seems a little noisy like there is air escaping or I don't have the cartomizer on correctly.

I have tried a GreenSmoke and it did not do this. Any suggestions?

Welcome to vaping!

I think all VK's do that, mine does it on every cart i put on it, the passthrough doesnt though. Im not sure why but i think its normal.

Welcome to the family Blue! You will hear the air draw and a sizzling of the carto when you vape. If you look at the threads on the battery and on the PT there are some pinholes. On the carto there are slots, you can tighten/loosen the carto to get more or less airflow depending on how the slots are lined up with the pinholes. Adjust it until you get the draw that works best for you.

V4L batterys have a more 'airy' draw than regular Kanger KR808 batterys because they have more holes, the noise is nothing to worry about at all.. and welcome

Welcome Blue Skies; glad to here you are doing so well. keeep it up and Enjoy!!!

Welcome aboard.

As far as the noise, try holding your fingers over the airholes a little, will help quiet it down.
Also, it could mean that you are drawing too hard(not implying you are, just possible). I use that sound to gauge my hits on the autos, if its too loud, im hitting too hard. Softer longer drags will help.

Congrats on kickin the analogs, and welcome to the family!

Welcome, Blue! Yes, the crackle you hear is the juice cooking in the atomizer. Many of us find it soothing. If it starts to meow, or to command you to enact bizarre rituals, you should see a doctor.

 

[Belletrist]

yup, crackle here too. as a former clove smoker, i love it. welcome!!

Congrats and welcome!! Good point about using the sound to help control your draw, I had never thought of it that way. It's best to let the cartomizer do the work - drawing harder won't make the battery work any harder. It took me a while to get accustomed to taking slower, easy draws, and then inhaling.

As a noob too I did tend to suck too hard. Good point on listening to the sound it makes

Yes, I have found that the autos work best with a quick primer puff, followed by a long, slow, easy draw. It always amazes me how much better the draw is if you are hitting it slow and easy...

Welcome! So glad you found out little corner of the forum! And congrats on getting off the smokes!

Welcome to the FAMILY!!!!!

 

[Blue Skies]

Thanks to all for your warm welcomes! I think I was trying to draw on it too hard. Slow draws seem to lessen the noise factor AND create more vapor. Thanks for all your tips, this will definitely be a trial and error type of learning, but I will get the hang of it!

Thanks again everyone!

Listen to JenJen.... long slow and easy draw.... you'll get the hang of it soon enough just gotta get used to it.

That's for sure. You'll figure it out soon enough, and find that sweet spot for optimum vapor and throat hit.

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll find that you made the right choice.
