Newbie Need Help With Cartridges

[wilburloo]

Hi Folks. All I can say is wow! This is like a whole new world, with a whole new language to learn.

I've been a smoker for 40 years. I stopped & then started up again. You know the routine. I'm tired of getting bronchitis once or twice a year & really just need to quit smoking. I even have a fresh Chantix prescription that I haven't started on yet. I've been on Chantix before & it does kill the cravings.

This site/forum is almost like a tech forum. God bless you for finding a smoking alternative but I'm really not interested in "geeking out" on a vaporizer. I'm not putting anyone down for being into it but I'm into too many other things to get all caught up in something new. I feel that the liquids are messy & I prefer the convenience of a cartridge & battery. I came across this site purely by accident. I bought a BluCig disposable on a whim today at the smoke shop & went on their site & somebody mentioned vaping so here I am.

I had been using the Safecig for some time & really liked it. They are having major issues & referred me to Seminole. I don't understand what's going on in the ecig world. Bad customer service & out-of-stock conditions seem to be the norm. After 8 weeks of trying to get a refill cartridge, I'm simply spent.

My question is, does anybody know which brand of cartridges I can use with my Safecig batteries? I know Seminole will work but they're abunch of idiots & I prefer not to give them my business. My goal is not to start over on another system with new batteries & a new charger etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what threading those batteries have but these guys sell your batteries so they probably have cartos that will fit as well. Good luck.

From the link above I found this.

The regular Safecig is 4081; the Mini is 510.

Good luck!

I knew someone would come along that knew what the thread type was.

OP, what he is saying is that any cartridges, cartomizers, atomizers, etc that will fit those thread sizes will be compatible with your batteries.

Yeah, sorry. Should have mentioned that.

I know how you feel about the language. It can be very confusing, especially since you are not into the "vaping" experience. I do hope you find the correct size carto for your ecig.

Just as a thought though, when you are asking the businesses about the item, use carto (it actually means cartomizer) and the reason for that is I don't want you to buy the wrong item and get more frustrated. Just to help you, all e-cigs have 3 "parts": the battery, the atomizer (part that burns the liquid) and a cartridge (part that holds the liquid). This is of course simplified only as there are some that do not use the cartridge. If you ask for a cartridge then you will only have the part that holds the liquid. Some may understand and ask but that may give you a headache (it did for my brother). Now for the cartomizer (carto), that is 2 parts in one: the atomizer and the cartridge.

Good luck and let us know how it went for you.

Thanks for all of the input so far. It really helps. gjanderson, I am confused about your comment that all e cigs have three parts. The safecig & BluCig only have two parts. A battery & cartridge. I assume that the amtomizer is built into the cartridge?

Correct. Your cartridge is basically a cartomizer that has been prefilled.

 

[gjanderson]

wilburloo, yes, the carto or cartomizer is an atomizer and cartidge built into one part. I do appologize for not making that clear, my bad.

Normally with those types, they fill the cartomizer for you - which for some people (and maybe yourself) this is an easy, non hassle way of getting them. When you find a shop, ask them if they have prefilled cartomizers.

I only wanted you to understand so you don't get a basic cartridge (no atomizer built in) and get frustrated. My brother did that by accident but thankfully I had an atomizer that was able to be made to work.

Aha! Ok. I get it. Thanks!
