OP, I'd like to suggest giving the sahara flavour a crack as well.
If you like this kind of thing it has a nice dark sweetness about it and strong flavour, good with a coffee.

It doesn't taste like an analog, but it does have a certain appeal when the cravings kick in.

And if you like that, you'd probably like RY4 once you get into refilling, same with dekang menthol...cheap but good.

I started with a V2 also,, DEFINITELY increase your nicotine content. I made the same mistake and higher nic did it for me. I've been able to refill my V2 cartos many, many times,,, they do seem to be of really good quality. Know that V2's cartos do NOT equal a pack of cigs,,, half a pack, if you're lucky so if you order them, order accordingly. There are tons of places to buy blank cartos,, I got some from Smokeless Image and they work just fine. And if you want flavors,, check out The Vapor Room and Highbrow Vapor. There's also TONS of places to buy juice but start with sample packs,, you sure don't want to end up with a big bottle of something that you hate.. this is quite a learning experience, I must say... but what fun! Good luck,,, and I say again.. ORDER ENOUGH!

You know , maybe I shouldnt be worried about quitting smoking right now , but just cutting back. I have to admit I do enjoy smoking sometimes. I was just looking at how much I was spending and wanted to cut that down.

I'm at work right now but I have a bunch of 808 stuff at the house that I have no use for and would let go for cheap if your interested mostly all blank cartomizers and clearomizers ... if your interested pm me I would probably let them go for around a dollar a piece or so

I just placed my order with V2. 40 prefilled Cartos and my total with discount and Shipping is $62.15 making each Carto only $1.55 Each Delivered !! Would love to see some other supplier come close.
I got :
2 - 5Packs of the Coffee at 18mg
1 - 5pack of the Coloa at 18mg
1- 5Pack of Coloa at 12mg
1 - 5Pack of Chocolate at 18mg
1 - 5Pack of Chocolate at 12mg
1 - 5Pack of Vanilla at 12mg
1 - 5Pack of Peppermint at 12mg
I wanted to Coffee in 1 of each but 18mg was all they had. I wanted to take the advice from quite a few people in upping my MG Strength. But also got some in the 12mg range incase 18 was too much. In a Couple of weeks I will probably try a Blue Mist Sample Pack in the coffee and other flavors to refill these cartos. and go from there. But , if I can at least get buy for 1 month on this , with the starting kit at under $70 dlvd ... I will still be under what I would have spent on reg. Cigs.

Plan failed...the higher mg was too harsh , even the 12mg.
Should have stuck with the 6mg Menthol since it at least cut my cig smoking in half.

try smokeless image.....i have a V2 also......i dont buy prefilled carts though....i fill my own with e juice from both V2 and smokless image......their carts fit perfectly and their shipping is cheaper and very fast......placed order on a friday night and my order was in my mailbox by monday

I dont think I will be trying anything new , cant afford this to be a hobby. Maybe a menthol juice that someone recommended but other than that I cant see me sticking with this. I am a stay at home dad with a handicap child. Just wanted to Save the Family some money and quit smoking ( if the ecig was cheaper ). Already spent the money for a whole month on the kit and this order , so I am done unless I can get rid of the stuff above I just bought.

You could try putting a drop or two (very little) of vg or distilled water into the carto and see if that smooths it out a bit. You can get VG in Walmart in the pharmacy section for $3. "USP Glycerin- Humco". It's very thick so you could put a drop into the end cap of the carto with a drop of water and put it in the carto- see if that helps.

Another thing to try is do the reverse taryn spin to get as much juice as you can out of the cartomizer and pick up a bottle of low nic juice. I don't have any or I'd send it to you. You won't get all out but you can get most out.

Blue mist vaping has inexpensive juice or Mad Vapes.

Their juice might just be harsh. IMO most prefilled carts taste terrible anyway. That's not a very high strength nicotine unless you were an extremely light smoker. My mom smoked lights and started with 36 mg for a couple weeks to get her off cigs.

I'd hang in there and keep trying to use them. You may get used to them. Too low and you won't get off cigs. We tried to warn you about prefilleds! After they're done, you can get a bottle of juice and try to clean out the cartos or get another box and get a bottle of juice. I assure you they'll taste better than prefilleds.

They really aren't cheaper. You buy the box of cartomizers for about 6.50 or so. Each empty cartomizer can be filled at least 3-4 times. With the right juice, one can last 2 weeks. You can buy 30 ml of juice at Mad Vapes for $7.39. Each cartomizer holds about 1 ml so that's 30 cartos full of juice. For $14, that's like getting 30 cartomizers.

They really are cheaper considering you can refill these as well.

That's what I would try to do then. Get as much juice out of the menthol carts as you can, and get a bottle of lower nicotine juice. You might be able to do that and still use them. I would send you some but I don't have any menthol that low. I could make you some low nic fruit flavor.

for the menthol cartos that came with the kit ( I got 10 ) that is what I plan to do. Even thought maybe trying to boil out the 18 and 12 other flavors I tried in this last order and maybe someday trying other juice samplers with those. If I get rid of the other 35 , I will surely re-invest the $$ into that plan.
I did notice on V2 website that their juice just says PG , and it doesnt mention VG. So if what I have been reading, that may be the reason the 6mg "Throat Hit" was great and these higher ones are TOO Much for me.
