Hi Kate
Thanks for the tips, i did pull the fiberstuff out a bit.
Is it normal for the "filter"/cart brown holder thing to heat up?
I am sitting here with the NPRO following your directions,
I do hope i get it to work i am into this for $120 bucks already

You'll get it! I did, and I didn't know about ECF yet for a few weeks after I got mine. I drew too hard, the juice popped into my mouth all the time, I puffed too many times and the battery would go blinking.....I didn't know anything, and the directions were a little vague! My face hurt so bad, I was just puffing too hard. (Panic??) Looong, nice gentle puffs, only enough to light the led is needed. If you hear gurgling, that means you've 'flooded' the atomizer, unscrew it and blow from the thread end to clear it out, make sure everything is nice and dry, screw it back together firmly. Then practice long gentle puffs some more. When you lose vapor or sense a 'burned' taste, it's too dry. Never never never blow into it from the tip, you can get juice into the battery and it will burn out everything! Yes, I did that too...BAD THINGS: empty or dry cartridge (that will burn the atomizer out), puffing too hard(that will pull too much liquid out, floods the atomizer), not letting battery charge fully(won't make nice vapor), blowing into mouth piece to clear out the gurgling noises(that will burn out EVERYTHING, including the battery
and the atomizer!).
Just try to relax with it, if your juice is high enough nicotine for your needs you will be comfortable. If not high enough, you will be trying to puff like crazy to get more. You can adjust the nicotine level if you feel you need to. Too much will make you groggy and kind of sick and woozy.
Either way, when you find your comfort level, your Panic will subside, you can relax and come to depend only on your e-cig.
You will still be jittery or HUNGRY (I was starved!) and you will be thrilled when you can say "I haven't had a cigarette in three days!" That's when I told my husband I'd spent $80 for an NPro! (That was just the beginning, lol!) I'd smoked for 44 years, 2-3 packs a day, depending on how long the day was.
That was
really dumb.
It took a couple months for the jitters to go away, but it was not bad, and I just stayed away from the Fridge, it's a withdrawal thing.
Be sure to have extra batteries, and a couple atomizers, and some juice on hand, it helps to relax a bit...those things are the "consumables", they do
all go bad in time, buying juice to re-fill your carts with 4-6 drops is much cheaper way to go than pre-filled ones. And yes, the cart will heat up, maybe just space your puffs a little farther apart, that will help, but they do get warm. You don't want the cartridge too full, looking puddled, that will just flood the atomizer and you pull juice into your mouth, on your lips. Just wet, not dripping wet.
Take them out of the cartridge with a paper clip for refilling, the little container comes out, and you can see how too much you're putting in. Before putting it back in the mouth piece, make sure there isn't drops of liquid inside because the vapor will pick them up and out they come into your mouth, blow it out or wipe it dry. That's all there is to it!
Best of luck to you!
