I can answer 1 and 2...

You can put any juice into any cartomizer. I prefer VG because I hate the throat hit...most days LOL The flavor with the wow juice seems to be a bit clearer, but the vapor production is a bit less (not by much, on either). So vanilla to vanilla will be fine. I actually add vanilla VG to a lot of my cartos that have other flavors (like fruit flavors) to add some creaminess and sweetness...it's all about you and your flavor profile (OOOOOH that sounded really professional huh?? LOL)

You can put any juice into any carto. The Wow ones run a little hotter (and I think produce more vapor) and the cool carts hold more juice and run cooler....so it really doesn't matter (Once again, I find the differences negligible).

As for number 3, you need one of the more experienced techie/mechanichy types for that one. Definitely not my forte :)

Hi everyone. I’m really new to vaping. I started smoking analogs at the age of 15 and just recently quit. I smoked just over a pack a day of Marlboro Ultralights. I’m now 34. After 19 years, it feels good to have quit, although it’s been brutally difficult. I’ve been vaping Fumas from the local drug store, but I’m not very satisfied with them. After a lot of reading on this forum, I decided to order from V4L. There is SO much information floating around, however, that I’m still not very confident with what I’m doing. I’m hoping I can get some help, recommendations and suggestions from any of you since you all seem so experienced! Here’s what I ordered (I should be receiving the order in the next couple of days):

**
VAPOR KING-ULTIMATE MANUAL KIT
[with passthrough, USB charger, wall charger, carrying case, 2 manual batteries and 1 box of 5 carts (at checkout I selected: Premium Vapor King Kamel CoolCart Cartomizers 11mg)]

2 boxes of WOW Vapor Wowboy Cartomizers 11 mg
1 box of WOW Vapor VG Vanilla Cartomizers 11mg

Wowboy WOW Vapor Juice (30 ml) - 11mg
2 Drip Tips
**

What else would you recommend that I order? Upon further reading on the forum, am I right in thinking that I should order some empty carts? Is there any other “equipment” that I should get? And since I’m so new to this (and I have a feeling I’ll goof up when filling the carts), should I order a bunch more filled carts?

I’m very open to flavor suggestions, too!

Thanks very much. I’m so excited to have found this forum!

WOW Vapor VG Vanilla ftw!

If you like it but feel it is lacking a little flavor try the WOW Vapor French Vanilla Ice Cream. Very close just a little creamier and sweeter.

My favorites thus far are definitely the Wow Wowboy (11mg) and the Wow Vg Vanilla (11mg). They've both become my all-day vapes. At night, I'm still alternating between several flavors (8mg). I've been trying to fill my used Wowboy cartos with Wowboy juice, but I've had only moderate success thus far (on a few instances, the cartos appear to be dead after I fill them...) I've watched several helpful videos that have been linked in various threads here, so hopefully I'll become more consistent!

As I prepare my next order (my fifth since I started two weeks ago!), I have a few questions:

1. Can I fill my used Wow Vg Vanilla cartos with Vanilla Nobacco juice? Do you think it'd yield a similar taste? Or if it's not similar, would it still yield a good result?

2. Can I fill blank cool cartos with Wow Wowboy juice? (I already have a couple boxes of blank cool cartos.) Or should I order some Wow blank cartos?

3. One of my batteries works fabulously with any Wow cartos, but it simply won't work with any of the flavored carts that don't say Wow on them that I've tried (e.g. peanut butter cup, Cowboy, etc...). My other three batteries work just fine with any and all of the cartos that I have. Has anyone else experiences this?

Thanks for any help and advice you can offer! :)

Oh, and one more thing: V4L and all of you are awesome!!! :)

Question 1:

Yes it taste great. Little less vapor, more flavor and throat hit, but terrific.

Question 2:

Yes. Coolcarts work well, and stay cooler. I like the WOW carts for just a little more vapor, but both are close.

Question 3:

Could be that the connector post on the battery is slightly lower then the rest of them. I would try to take some pliers, and turn the connecter on the cartamizers about a quarter turn, right were the notch is. Then give it a try. Could make a better connection.

I can help with some of this:

1) Refill with any juice you like, sometimes the flavor combos work, sometimes they don't, sometimes they are just... interesting... Vanilla VG to Vanilla Nobacco will likely taste like the Vanilla Nobacco, especially if you top off after you refill.

2) You can refill your carts with any juice, there shouldn't be any need to match WOW juice to a WOW carto. I prefer CoolCarts, and have refilled them with lots of different types of juice including WOW juice and juice from different vendors.

3) Not sure, but I would guess that there is a slight difference in the height of the posts on your batteries. Try Snow's trick in his video on page 4 of the thread in the sticky zone, you may get that battery to play nice with your other cartos.

5 orders in 2 weeks sounds about right... I should receive order #10 tomorrow, first order placed on 3/6/11. And that's only my V4L orders.

Hard candy helps when you have dry mouth due to vaping. But water is the best. there is also a candy like lozenge at the drug store called water drops or something that keeps helps dry mouth (sugar free)

I hate hard candy but find it does help with the dryness......I looked for this Water Drops lozenge and couldn't find it. If anyone knows what it is actually is called I would be grateful!!!

Is it an automatic battery, by chance?
If so, it may need the sanding-of-the-outer-battery-threads routine.
It's already on streaming video - A Snowdragon Production, of course. :p

Welcome!

It is Wade. R is my last name initial.
Way back when I chose wader2000 as an email addy when I didn't want something like wader4372. Hehe....2000 was easy to remember and it was shortened to 2K on a lot of boards.

8^)

Cool -- got it! :)

It's a manual. Snowdragon's videos have been very helpful, for sure! :toast:

Also, the 1st couple weeks, the pass through was really a life saver! Your going to love v4l. Great company with great service.

Agree with the PT as a life saver! depending on where you spend the majority of your day (I'm a delivery driver and live in my car) the PT will be your best friend! a couple of times, I took a batt with me when I was going to be parked for a bit, and had it die on me midway through a run - Thank the Gods for the PT! if you spend a lot of time at a desk/computer - same thing. my experience was similar to yours, I ordered 11mg and 18mg at first (I smoked newport full flavors, sometimes as high as 2 1/2 PAD (EEEK!) and the 11's were OK, but I've since settled into the 18's and are now fairly comfy with them YMMV). Good luck, Welcome to the best forum on the net!

Another tip, grab a tobacco pouch, a diabetic bag (empty), camera bag ect. Something small for when you go for a drive. Small enough to tuck under a seat or put in a briefcase or purse. I keep my case or PCC in one also because I like to carry a bottle of juice, a car charger and whatever! Last but not least..When you go out and vape carry your V4L cards! People will notice and ask you what you are doing!
Welcome again.

LOL I thought it was a bit ironic that I got MY case from a pipe/cigar shop that I live over for my carry case! and agree that the cards are a must! (see my earlier post about being pulled over because of my e-cig) I was mildly surprised just how MANY cards I have gone through!

Thanks! I've been drinking a TON of water. :)



Dr (just to keep the ambiguity going...) :blush:

LOL! Nice one... Dr., eh? I was listening to a radio station the other day that plays a lot of the "old time radio" shows - complete with commercials - surprised the heck out of me to hear an ad that stated "9 out of 10 doctors recommend CAMEL CIGARETTES" for the briefest moment I was STUNNED! then I realized this was from the 40's! WoW what a difference a few decades make!
