I would like to start out by saying thank you to all the regular posters here on ecf and V4l. I feel as though I know some of you as well as I know my friends just from reading your post for the past three months. Thanks to all of the information that I read I was able to make my first puchase of a PV and I chose to go with VK.

My Ultimate Ultimatum Auto starter pack arrived today with two 5ml bottles of juice and three box's of carto's that I ordered plus a few freebie carto's that V4L sent me.(Thank you) I was very impressed that I had orded it on sunday and it was here on tuesday. So at about 10:30am I begin my vaping for the first time. I was very pleased with ease of use and the satisfaction that it was giving me not pick up my real cigs. That first day I only smoked two cigs as compared to pack and a half a day. I have to say that doing my homework and researching landed me on the perfect PV on the first choice.

About midway through the day yesterday I was getting a mild headache and by later that night I was feeling somewhat out of sorts. I was not over vaping but I figured out why I was feeling this way. What I had not spent much time researching was carto strength. I figured I smoke allot I might as well get the high nicotine cartos and I can always smoke less if they are to strong. So far that was the only thing I got wrong. The 36 cartos are way to much for me. If V4L hadn't thrown a freebie 24 carto in my order I wouldn't of had nothing to compare to. The 24 is still to strong and I think an 18 might be about the right nicotine level for me. Even the juice I got is the 36 so I'm kinda stuck with everything until I can afford to order some lower cartos.

Aside from my bad from ordering the wrong strength cartos I am extremely happy with my new PV. This thing is GREAT. It delivers a great TH and allot of vapor and is so easy to use and care for. V4L has another satisfied customer:D I also received as part of my kit was the PCC. I have not removed it from the plastic because I really don't like the appearance. I ordered silver thinking it would be just plain silver but it's not. It has way to much bling to it for me. If I had seen a photo of it on the V4L website I would definately not ordered it in silver. I wish I had ordered black. And of course after looking around the forum this morning I did find a pic of the silver I could of viewed before I ordered.

To close this out I just want say that I know I have made a great choice to buy from V4L. I feel that the company deserves a:thumbs: for delivering a great product. And once again thanks to all the posters here for guiding me to make the right choice.

you can cut your juice in half to 18mg by using VG. You can get VG (glycerin) almost anywhere like Walmart. (Humco brand) Healthfood stores, etc.

Wash out one of your cartos you got that was prefilled under warm water. Then blow out the excess water from the battery end of the cartomizer. then refill with about 20 drops of fresh made 18mg juice..

Don't forget to drink lots of water!!! ;)

The dehydration snuck up on me... I never really got dry mouth so I didn't think it was an issue. Then at night and in the mornings I would get very strange headaches.. not so much painful just pressure and weird. Hard to explain. I was worried it was some kind of allergic reaction but I made it a point to drink more water and the more I drink the more it helps. :D

I also think it has something to do with your body clearing out toxins. Needs some help washing it out.

Anyway... so glad you're happy with your VK! Keep posting, let us know how things work out for you.

Welcome aboard!

Note that you will lose some flavor by adding plain VG, but that is better than trying to vape liquid or cartos that are too high. Spend some time reading in the Nicotine section of the forum, lots of good stuff in there. It's funny how we adjust to nicotine levels - I needed 24mg when I started, but have cut back to 11-12 in the past month. I recently tried a 24, since I have a bunch left, and it almost made me dizzy!

Best of luck!

Glad you joined us Wildcard! Why not go the carto swap thread and see if anyone wants to trade out or swap PCC's with you? maybe you could take some carto's in trade.
The idea about mixing the 36ml with 0nic is your best option..for retaining flavor. But I would still pick up some glycerin (USP) to add a few drops to your liquid for vapor production. The new liquids coming out are suposed to have added V.G. (same as glycerin) to them for this puropse..I just don't know if they have started selling them yet.

Hello Wildcard,

I love dealing with V4L. They are selling a great product and are very quick sending out orders and always include extras. I ordered a kit a month ago and despite the fact that I still have an analog still as I am trying to break the cycle, I did stop cold for about 2 weeks. I liked the products sservice so much I bought a kit for my father, a smoker for over 40 years. He still smokes analogs but nowhere near as much as before. I refill my carts and also I bought 901 attys and tips to go with the vapor king as an option to using carts when I'm home. Using the 901 setup is easier when I'm sitting around because as the juice drys up I can add a few more drops and not worry about opening a cart. Also I have to say V4L have great flavors and a huge selection. I use grape and peach all day. Since I live in the Chicagoland area, which is where they are located, I have gotten orders the next day. :lol:
Welcome to the fraternity of vapers

Thanks for the warm welcome and all the great advice. Drinking water is hard for me but I will do my best. I am a coffee addict lol. The glycerin did the trick and made my vaping much better but from now on I will order the lower nic levels and keep a few bottles of zero around. Yes i can say custmer service is A+. Steve has already sent me a PM to help with my pcc issue. I kinda hate to trade it for catos MaryKay because I am a technology geek and I think it's a cool device. A few hidden benifits I am encountering are.
1. you can vape in the car without cracking the window
2. you can vape in bed without risk of burning the house down
3. my keyboard is not full of ashes
4. my dogs don't burn their nose by being curious or their tail knock the cherry off the
end

And I'm sure I will discover many more. This is now day three vaping and as of yesterday I had only smoked 5 cigs in two days. Today I am going for zero cigs. I never thought I would be vaping peanut butter cup mixed with coffee and loving it:w00t: Being a Mboro man for 30 years I sure didn't see that coming lol

Let Mark or Rocks82 know and they will fix you up.You can PM.


Yeah sorry about that.. you always have that option.. Rocks82 is doing an awesome job at customer service :thumb:

I just figured since I've seen so many posts about people wanting their PVs to not have the LED it would be a good idea to put it in the swap.
