Hello All!

First off Thank You in advance for any information you can share with me. I am new to vaping (Just Started today) and am very excited by the whole process. I am not sure if I will continue vaping, or use the system to quit all together as I do enjoy my smokes....just not the idea of dying for them.

K, here is a couple of questions I have if anyone would be kind enough to help me out.

I have the 401 (Looks like the classic cigarette) which I got from Sharper Smoker. (BTW: very nice fellow over there and very fast shipping)

1) How do you know when your cartridges needs to be replaced, or topped off? Right now all I have is the pre filled but placed a order for some juice. So how do I know its time to change the cartridge? I don't want to smoke it dry and ruin my atomizer.

2) Is putting juice on the atomizer bad or not? I have been reading and reading lol, some say NEVER do it, and others say do it when you refill. So I have no clue what to do lol.

3) Is the vape better with pre filled or juice?

Thats it...........if anyone can help that would be awesome. I am so excited with all this and plan on using the 401 for now, then switching to either a Pen Style or the 901 once I decide if I am going to keep vaping or not. I also plan on using esmokey treats as well. Seems most people like them and they seem pretty reliable.

Thanks again!

You can the keep the cart wet. Not overly so, or you will start to suck in the juice right to your mouth (not pleasant). Take the cart out and take a look at it. If the top is dry add a drop or 2 of juice. After some practice, you will get a feel of how often you need to top off based upon your habits and usage.

2) Is putting juice on the atomizer bad or not? I have been reading and reading lol, some say NEVER do it, and others say do it when you refill. So I have no clue what to do lol.

I drip right on my atomizer. I have been dripping on the same atty for 3 weeks with no ill effects (With DIY juice with Lorann's added). Opinions on this vary. I seem to have better luck because I do not buy the absolute least expensive atomizers (This is only my opinion).

3) Is the vape better with pre filled or juice?

Use will notice much more vapor is you ad PG or VG to your juice. You need to remember that if you add PG or VG to your juice you are also diluting the nic content. For example 1 ML of 24mg juice + 1ML of VG or PG = 12 MG strength.

Don't be afraid to try new things until you find what wotks for you. There is no absolute wrong or right way to do it. That is one of the best parts of vaping. Do what works for you!

Good Luck
