new vaper with questions

[redtailgal]

HI all!

I am an ex smoker that is a new vaper.

I have a Smoke Stik and I really like it. But, I seem to be using it alot right now and I think that I will need to start refilling with liquid to be more cost effective. I do hope to ease back on it a little at a time and switch to a non nicotine version the next time I buy refills.

I've been a heavy smoker for 20 years now, but with my Smoke Stik, I dont miss the cigarettes at all.

Does anyone have any wonderful advice for a newb?

Just keep at it. Get back ups is #1 tho. And there is also alot different set ups if money is not problem, you can try different attys and what not.

Smokestik is RN4081

You can get parts and I think blank cartos at AZSmokeFree, Vaporkings.com, Goodprophets (and I think AZSmokeFree has a manual battery which should be totally sealed and much safer from being damaged or killed by juice leaks from refilling cartos. I recommend you have a spare battery and make it a manual.

I find PG juice with 20% or less VG works best in slim ecig cartomizers. On my manual 510 devices I can get 10-14 days use out of a Boge 510 carto (and double that for me because I use it 1/2 the time - I have used my current carto for 28 days). Some other cartos i can get maybe 7 days. I do avoid all juices that drop flavoring sediment. That will cut the life of a carto.

Holy cow, you guys are fast.


dormouse thanks for the info, I'll check that out and probably end up with more ?????.

Yup. I'm that sort of gal.

And you should be able to use prefilled cartomizers from Njoy Npro too and some 7-11's carry Njoy Npro aka 2-n-1 cartomizers.

welcome to the forum. Backups are hugely important. Keep a running stock so you never run out and go into panic mode

+1 what Dormouse said and buy tiny juice samplers. Check the Deals and Steals thread for juice sales. Check the supplier's forum for fave juice suppliers with loads of posts. The thing about juice is you have to walk that road alone. What you love another thinks tastes like the wrong end of a baboon. Reviews are worthless. I drool reading the wonderful words of yummyness, buy it and blech! I didn't realize tastes were so wildly different until vaping. Have fun

ok, so if I am understanding correctly I would buy these:
Orange round empty blank cartridge for RN4081 e-Cigarette (SE Gold or Njoy NPRO)

and choose a juice to fill them with?

Seriously, is that all there is to it?

Wait, what is the difference between PG juice and Vg juice? Did I understand that dormouse thinks VG would be better for me to use?

When you start buying juice, definitely buy smaller quantities. Your taste buds are really going to change, and I mean from one day to the next. I loved one flavor one day and couldn't vape it the next. Juice buying is an addiction in itself lol

That works, I like these better: Smok Tech 1.7 ohm RN4081 Cartomizers
And then yeah, buy some juice and get to it. PG heavy juice is better for your model.
PG: thinner, more throat hit, cleaner flavor, easier on your gear.
VG : Thicker, more vapor, softer flavor, harsher on your gear.
Most folks use a mix of the two in their juices, if they don't say it's a safe bet it's mostly PG. 70ishPG 30ishVG would be a good place to start.

golem, why do you like those better?

 

[GolemGolem]

They're cartomizers so they have the atomizer built into them. Atomizers are like 7$ and I always end up breaking them about as fast as I break cartos. Counter-intuitive cost saving is the big one IME. Plus it takes your three part system, and brings it down to two pieces.

Hi and welcome to the ECF
I would caution against using any LR (low resistance) devices on your batteries. From what I read, they are 250 mah.
Anything rated LR would draw them down very fast if not ruin them

My DH and I are very new to vaping two weeks. I was vaping all the time you might up your nicotine level as we went from roll your own which probably have as much nicotine in them as marlboro reds to 12mg. So I vaped vaped and vaped somemore. Our starter kits were KR808 batteries so we went over to Good Prophets and bought extras, we also got some from Dark City Vapor that had a PCC, two bats and 6 blank cartridges. We have ordered several samplers of tobacco flavors from different vendors, those haven't arrived yet. Hopefully Monday. Welcome to the forum and Happy Vaping. Hope this helps some.
