Newbies Q&A

for starting out, i recommend getting ego-tank with its LR ( Low Resistor Atomizer ) or Dual Coil.

LR atty is using a catridge to store a liquid where it can store enough for 1 days+ of usage roughly around 1.5ml (its enough for me to last a day only)

For the dual coil is using more like a dripping system where you drip your liquid straight into it, it doesn't have any catridge or whatever. Inside the dual coils are cotton which will absorb your liquid ( something like a zippo lighter). For dual coil it burns liquid faster then normal LR.

Performance wise i would say its the Dual coil, which gives off better taste and also vapor.

So its best to start off with Ego-tank battery pairing up with a Low Resistor or Dual Coil

 

[alvinosj]

10ml should only be able to last about 10 days or less, depending on your usage

How long will a PV last? Assuming it's moderately taken care of, not to it's best neither to it's worse. And assuming not wanting to upgrade?

Carts will have to change every month right? Can assume one cart is around 10 bucks (aftr shipping) ?

 

[alvinosj]

PV are broken down into 2 parts, the Battery and the Atty, so mostly people have been using the same battery but changing their atty to get a better result, by using the Low resistor or the Dual coil.

The batteries should be able to last for a year or so. Catridge for refilling can be reuse again and again.

well.. some people DO use their cartridge for more than a month.. there is not really a fix time to change ur cartridge as it is also depend on how much u vape each day.. for me i would change my cart when i feel some weird taste come out when vaping.. probably the cotton is burn as i vape it too much.. but it is quite obvious to feel the changes in vapor and the taste..

@snssewell. I believe you are not from Singapore... but it does look like the 4XX series. Recommended that you go back to the same supplier to get new cartridges... there are just too many suppliers. An alternative is that you may look into splitting up the cartridge into 2 parts, the atty and cartridge. Doing so, you will be able to enjoy different juices, and the running cost will be lower.

Well what happened was....... I did a search for model# to find this thread I saw with pics of different models and somehow got to this thread and did not even see that it was Location Specific until after I posted!
But thanks so much for the answer

Hi, are there any juices out there to replica the marlboro ice mint or ice blast cold feeling?
Currently using dxextreme mint juice and it taste horrible.

 

[light487]

Not sure about M/boro Ice Mint/Ice Blast.... but I am liking the Green M.boro flavour from Heaven Gifts.. one of the better ones I have tried.. taste is a subjective thing.. just gonna have to try different ones till you find the right one..

 

[heypi]

Is it ok to import juices into Singapore? Or will i be just taking my chances like dxextreme?

U will have to take chances for all places. No guarantee. U can try cool mint for HC if u want for cooling flavor.

 

[heypi]

Alright thanks! For the nicotine level, are there any recommendations for someone who smokes like 3-5 sticks per day? Currently on high with the juices from dx. Feels that it's abit too much.

 

[alvinosj]

yup, cool mint should be able to give you the coolness just like ice blast but i would rather mixing the "mint" with other flavors, like currently im using peppermint + redbull, which give off cough syrup taste and smell -_-

 

[heypi]

Woah! even mixing the flavors? This is getting interesting. I remembered back then there was a short trend for flavor cigs. The taste was horrible leaving you not here nor there. lol

 

[light487]

11mg is quite a decent amount for a light smoker.. most "high" are about 24mg with "extra high" being 36mg.. but it all depends on what "they" consider to be high. Have a look at what the actual mg/ml is and then drop to whatever their next level is down. So if their high is 24mg.. maybe try 11 or 18.. if their high is 18 try 11.. and so on.

 

[newcomer]

I would recommend a strength of 6mg/ml.

 

[light487]

The thing is though.. it's not about "how many" you smoked.. it's about what strength you smoked because if you smoked HEAVY smoeks but only 3-5 a day and you get 6mg/ml.. you might find that the throat hit is severely lacking and that you are not being satisfied. If you smoked 40 a day but only on the ultra light smokes.. then 6mg/ml might be better...

...your body will adjust to the vaping style and you will get the nicotine your body craves one way or another.. but it's more than just nicotine that is important here.. it is about having a satisfying vape.

 

[heypi]

dx only have the strength indicated as high. I guess i have to purchase 11mg and see how it goes from there! Thanks guys!
