This may be a newbish thing to do so I better ask before doing it. I bought my "new" (3 days old) nPro from a local truck stop. I love what it is doing for me. I do have a few issues tho and am already contemplateing upgrading.

1) Batery life sucks... after 3 days semi heavy usage i cant get a battery to last more than an hour or so.

2) Cart life sucks... last about as long as the battery

3) Vapor Volume Consistancy sucks... I never know if I am gonna choke or get a hit at all.

All that said if I could get a PV that would last a day or 2 on battery and had consistant vapor volume (similar if not a tad more than the nPro on a good hit) I would be pretty happy. I understand that carts are gonna need to be changed....... (liquid on order)

Could anyone make suggestions as to where I should go from here?
Am I making a newb mistake by not giving the product more than 3 days beofre deciding to upgrade?

Thanks in advance,

I started with njoy too and within 3 days got the JOYE 510, which I'm very happy with. Then I got a Janty Stick, very very nice indeed. The problem with njoy is it's automatic, so you may or may not get vapor, and yes, the carts don't last long at all....about 2 cigs worth. Their juice is very good but I'm not buying any more carts from them because it's WAY expensive, and unfortunately I guess they've decided not to sell their liquid. Too bad, so sad, but that's the way it is.

I'm totally done with Njoy/Npro....they're not worth the cost and hassle of no vapor. Good luck finding a PV that works well, there are a lot of choices of manuals you can get, just read up on this forum. :)

ok i looked at the one on litecigUSA... how is the company? anyone had dealings with them? are they fast/accurate or what?

Thanks

Litecig gets good feeback from here. I can only vouch personally for V4L as far as liquid goes and I am very happy with the flavor and service from them.

I bought a pack of 10 cartriges for my Njoy Npro and I can tell you after extracting all the liquid so I can do the drip method, you are paying 20 bucks for about 3-4ml of juice, which is highway robbery. I made sure I extracted 99% of the juice by putting all the fiber from the carts in a syringe and pushing all the juice into a measuring cup. Most people on here, including me(from what I have read so far), use 2-3 ml of liquid a day.

The drip method is the way to go, or refilling the carts yourself. Thats the only way you will save money. Also coincidently after 3 days I also upgraded to the 510 and I can tell you that even the carts that come with it are 10x better than the npro carts. I was getting quite a bit out of them before I had to refill them. Plus they tasted a hell of a lot better too(marlboro 18mg flavor). Battery life is going to suck if you are a heavy smoker and personally I will need 3-4 batteries per day if I had to go all day without charging at all. Invest in a usb pass if you are in front of your computer at all throughout the day and it will save you a lot of battery usage.

If you have the money and are confident that you will continue to use e-cigs, I would recommend buying a custom mod such as screwdriver/chuck/protege ect. They all have great reviews and will provide you the best battery life and vapor production. Not to mention they look cool as hell and will last forever it seems. You can often use 510 or 901 atomizers on them, which ever you prefer.

wish I had heard that before i ordered from litecig... :( alot of ppl seem to endorse those gals from cignot...

Nothing wrong with litecig. I'm sure you will be happy with them. There are tons of suppliers here that are great and a lot of people use various places to get what they need. I shopped at Cignot and V4L and can say that both places will get my business in the future but at the same time there are other companies I plan to buy from that are highly recommended also.

Well coincidentally, for some reason my order from litecig got cancelled. So I hopped on over to cignot and got what appears to be a great deal! 510 manual, 2x bats, 2x atomizers, 5 carts, charger, 2x 5ml bottels of juice, and a PCC all in a bundle for $65.00!!! placed the order at 10:00pm on sat. and it has already shipped! wow. thanks for reccomendation.

Thanks in advance,

This definitely helped my Npro:

- Repack cart every evening with quilt-batting polyfill with unidirectional fibers running the length of the cart.

- Use the straw mod with thin "straw"--stem from spray candy bottle.

- Remove the small piece of polyfill under the mouthpiece cap.

- Use pleasant tasting juice so ehanced flavor and juice in the mouth tastes good. Start with low nic concentration to reduce the chance of getting sick when liquid goes to your stomach. If it doesn't make you sick, only then try higher nic concentrations, though you should count on wanting to constantly vape pleasant flavors.

- Never overfill. Dab off any excess juice with paper towel.

- Blow out atty if it is gurgling.

- Keep inside of cart and outside of atty dry.

- Get some new batteries. I've found cheaper compatible RN4081 batts at AquaVapor that seem just as reliable as Npro batts. Stick with Npro attys, even though they are more expensive.

HTH,
Dave

That's exactly how I feel. It's too bad that the only e-cig that is available retail around where I live is the WORST on the market! I have a lot of people at my work who are thinking of quitting smoking for these, but they kinda lose interest after I tell them they have to order online.

Are there any tips to return? I emailed the place i got it from looks like they are not taking returns. I have an Npro and and having the same exact problems as the OP.

Is there an e cig that is more realistic. I smoke regular cigs for about 5 minutes at 1 pack a day. The Npro I am smoking it about 6 times a day at about 1 minute per time. I want something that gets about as close as I can get to a direct replacement even if it means just ordering a brand new kit. I want to smoke my e cig for 5 mins 20 times a day and produce good vapor. Is this possible, if so what kit should I look at? I also want something easy to refill with liquid low matinence.
