Newbie here, have a few questions

[CountX]

hmm, ....:
Lorillard Buys Blu Ecigs; Profit Falls - WSJ.com

Your right good sir. I'll pass the good word around my coworkers and family. Well it was more just an impulse buy since my pack ran out and I had a choice of a $6 pack or the $8 blu disposable...at least now im more the wiser.

The ego-c twists and stuff is in the mail so at least I have that to look forward to.

Thanks for the support peraspera I'm feeling the nicotine hit a lot more with the blu disposable than their kit, but I imagine the twist and boge cartos put out a bit more vapor since im barely getting the same as the blu kit with this disposable, just more nicotine at 24mg/ml(2.4%). Can certainly feel it over 16.

Got your blog bookmarked shoganinja, will flip through when I have a chance, it is well past my bed time but the stars are keeping me awake, rolled my 8" dob out to look at some objects. Night yall

Blu is owned now by Lorillard - the company that makes Kent and Newport cigarettes. Please avoid them at all costs

Do you have a better option than the 24 mg Blu disposables for emergencies?

 

[CountX]

Well there are a couple other brands of disposables but nothing that seems better, both are more expensive. Nowhere local sells anything useful.

Alright finally got tracking update, puts it here tomorrow, and my mail guy gets to the box pretty consistently in about 21-22 hours from now. I'm kinda screwed cause my disposable tastes like ... now so I'm sure it's dry. The battery still has a charge evidently...maybe it's really low charge making it taste off?


Ok it finally stopped lighting up so I pulled it all out the tube and the battery only measures 2.7v.... However, the is tons of juice in the material at the end... what gives.

I'm going to solder leads out the end and wire my own battery to it and get the last bit's of that juice ....I have tons of 3.7v batteries.

Interesting reading for a noob n the ecf alot of great advice wishing I would have joined the forum awhile back when I 1st started! Hope ya got your mod and tanks CountX.Enjoy and remain strong

 

[CountX]

Thanks for the kind words.

Not yet, twist is to be delivered tmor, I'm currently working on putting a 3.7v li-ion on whats left of my blu disposable because there is tons of juice left in it(it was dripping when i removed it).

 

[CountX]

Ok got it working, 3.7v li-ion hanging off a blu disposable with a momentary switch, pen gel grip for a drip tip, going to use it till it starts tasting burnt again. The battery is a "UltraFire 3000mah 3.7v li-ion" off amazon, I used them for lots of electronics/arduino stuff. It's not fully charged yet but at only 3v my li-ion mod taste better than the blu disposable tasted out of the plastic box. So going to let it fully charge and maybe get the rest of the juice out of it tonight...then just wait for my twists and stuff. Going to be relieved when I finally get some real ejuice...

That's freaking awesome man! Necessity truly is the mother of invention.

Hey folks, new to the forum, wondering about using higher capacity 18650 batteries in my new l-rider lambo 4.0. IE will it fit, not blow up, etc.

 

[CountX]

Mah should affect nothing, as long as they fit, your charger may take longer. Don't know what a lambo 4.0 is but as long as the voltage is the same as the old battery you should be fine.

Surprisingly, I have not sucked all the juice out yet... kinda disappointed I thought I was a heavier smoker, but I suppose this is a good thing. Only 3 or so hours til the mail arrives, I'm at work right now and the crew thinks I'm sucking on a bomb, go figure, put enough pvc tape on something and it's a bomb apparently.

 

[KillConfirmed]

i started of with v2 cigs they got pretty good warranties. i switched up to clearomizers.

 

[CountX]

Got the twist in yay!! It produces plumes of vapor woo! Much more hit, tried it with a spent blu carto and WOW vapor cloud and flavor. Alright so the sample from virgin vapor is wayyy to sweet for me. So I ordered more juice from valuevapor. The sample stuff from virgin vapor is 100% vg, the value vapor juice is Dekang which i believe is 80/20. Looking forward to it.

Also, a side note, I think my sugar glider thanks me for not smoking anymore he seems more happy and jumpy lately, so with the money saved I bought him a bigger wheel, 11" wodent wheel! Cheers all around!

Just curious as a final note, what juice you guys vaping. And thanks a ton for all the help and support along the way to this awesome setup.

 

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I'm vaping juice from: ahlusion, backwoods brew, sweet-vapes, heathers heavenly vapes, virgin vapor and copper creek. Those are my favorites.

Any in particular or just sampling? I want to find a daily vape but so far stuff is too sweet for me. I mean the lime has grown on me but I want a more normal flavor i think, I got some more juice from value vapor, RY4, energy cow, coffee, triple menthol, and double cinnamon. We'll see I guess...

Nobody can agree on a daily vape. Alien Vision's Boba's Bounty seems to have the most hype around it(I haven't tried it). Be careful with the cinnamon - a lot of people have reactions to cinnamon flavors. It may give you a sore throat/mouth.

From what you did to your battery, I'd say you might look into making your own PVs in the future. Check out the battery mods section of the forum Battery Mods . If you have talent with electronics (I, alas, do not) you will find you can build a nice device for little cost. Read the warning stickies if I'm mistaken and you don't actually know what you're doing
...they should probably be read anyway on general principles.

 

[CountX]

I did think about that, all I would need is a thread adapter for female 510 to attach leads to. The rest I can do. Hard part is making it look cool.

 

[tnt56]

where not strangers we are your ECF family

And we are here to help. I also started with one of the OLD Blu kits. Started burning analogs more and more. Out of desperation I joined this forum. The best thing I ever did. Here is one of the kits I started with
KGO kit1100mAh by SLB.
Forget about their juice. Find a couple of different suppliers and get samples. I also second the "JOYE eGo twist" It's bigger than a regular analog but still small enough to fit in my uniform without looking strange. The mini nova is slim and fits nicely. I don't regret either one. Just do anything to get off the cancer sticks and come here for advice and support.
Welcome to the best forum on the web and good luck.

I really like the RY4 from EC blends. You can add more carmal or vanilla or tobacco. They let you make it the way you want it to taste. RY4 is my daily vape.

 

[klynnn]

I am one of those people that try to steer you away from the cig-alikes. They are a pain in the but charging all the time. They don't have the power to last all day. There are just too many better options out there, and sooner or later you will realize that unless you smoke very little..

 

[CountX]

Ok so I have tried 7 flavors from virgin vapors and value vapor. I like them all pretty much except coffee which tastes burnt. Might be the fluid came in low idk. I made a mistake and filled my pre-filled RY4 with some menthol(I carefully labeled all my cartos but I didn't look at the label). So I ruined that flavor for sure lol. So far I really dig the twist, lots of vapor and TH. Thanks again for all the suggestions I'll get right on them when some extra cash flows in, I've got rent coming up so I'll have to deal with only the 5 flavors I have that I like.
