Hello everyone, I've been searching these boards but I haven't found the answers to the questions I have, so if anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it.

I plan on getting the Joye 510 with the PCC from cignot.com.

1. My dad smokes about 1 and 1/2 packs of Marlboro Lights a day. What would be the best liquid be to "match" the Marlboro Lights?

2. The kit comes with 5 prefilled carts. Does anyone know approximately how long these carts will last him?

3. On the cignot.com order page, there are options for "accessory1" and "accessory2" which I assume are what the prefilled carts are loaded with. But if it comes with 5 prefilled carts, why only 2 options? I tried to put "Marlboro 26mg" on both, but it only let me put it in the first option.

Thanks!

The accessory 2 might be the option for manual or auto batteries. Get the manual batteries. There are many reasons for that if you cruise the forums ..
The carts dont last long and really are not that good. They come with the kit .
They are refillable, get lots of juice too, and a couple extra attys for it.
Cignot is a great place to deal with , good customer service too:)
Try tasty vapor for juice. However , you will not be able to really match the taste . Just get something you think he would like and go with it. Finding the juice you like can take a while.
The 26 mg might be a bit high to start with, you might consider a 24 or even 18 mg.
Dont want him getting a nic headache right off the bat LOL
Good luck with it:)

Took a quick look at cignot. I assume you're getting the PPC kit. That comes with 2 small bottles of juice. 5ml of more normal, 3 of ECOpure. You get to pick 2 flavors. That's what the accessory choices are. Possibly other of their kits similarly come with small juice extras but I didn't look.

A cartridge holds about .6 to .9ml of liquid. The regular cartridge doesn't wick well so most likely some juice will still be in the cartridge when it seems empty. You can either top off the cartridge with the juice or if its the first time you can choose to refill the cart. Take out the filler, rinse and dab/pat dry with a tissue. Then put 5 or so drops into the empty cartridge then the filler then more drops til its wet but not puddling.

I'd guestimate a cartridge is good for 50 or so deep inhales. All depends on the person, the liquid, etc.

As far as liquid, figure a pack and a half a day smoker will use around 3ml a day of liquid. There are many flavors and its a very individual thing, what 1 person loves another hates. So just get your dad a few bottles of different flavors to go with the small samples. That way he'll have 4 or 5 to decide among which he likes best and can then get more of that flavor.

The liquid selections change from time to time, depending on her supply of certain flavors. I'd start with a 26 mg nic level if you're a pretty heavy smoker. You get your choice of any selection in accessory #1 (which are all 5 ml bottles) and any selection from accessory #2 (also 5 ml bottles). By it being set up this way, it gives you a chance to try two different flavors with your first order. I ordered RY4 PG and RY 4 VG for my first selections because I wanted to see the difference in the two. RY4 is a tobacco blend with a mild "nutty" taste. She does offer a Marlboro liquid under the liquids "other" section and you could include a 20 ml bottle for $9 with your order and that would give you a total of 30 ml of juice which should last you for two weeks. Good luck and happy vaping!

All I'm going to comment on is the nic level and the only thing I can tell you is what worked for me. I was a pack or so a day smoker and started vaping with 18mg juice. I found that I still had some cravings at that level at the start so I got some 24mg juice and the cravings went away. Everybody's body chemistry is different so what worked for me won't necessarily work for your dad but it may give you a good idea where to start. Order small bottles, say 10ml, at a time until he finds the nic level and flavor that works for him.
That's the best that I can tell you.
Oh, and by the way, this is a beautiful and caring thing you're doing for your dad. Good on ya.

Yep, the options for cignot's PCC kit there are for liquid samples and the type you can pick changes with stock levels.

I'd recommend trying a different flavor and nicotine level as the second option.

Type and amount smoked has some bearing on the juice the smoker will find to be the right one, but isn't the only thing to consider. Some heavy smokers are fine with 18mg while some don't get enough with 36mg and everything in between.

Flavor is so subjective that I discovered every flavor I thought I would like was terrible and many flavors that sounded terrible I actually like.

You have an ability to mix it up from the start so don't get hidebound now and take advantage of it.

I rather buy Hello016 kits for him cuz the battery can last all day for heavy smoker like him. Month ago, I smoke pack of Marlboro Lights per days. Once I change to ecig, I found "Dunhil" 18mg VG flavor fit me well also Capuccino VG

2/ They said 1 carts = 10 cig, I dont think it right. Just buy him watever kit that you think is right and include 30ml bottle or 3 10ml sample bottle (I tried 11mg, think it ok, but now 18mg I feel better, will mix it down to 14mg)

Cignot is great they are just amazing people their products and their service are second to none.

MadVapes is also amazing and their liquid is amazing. This is something you could try.

Bargain Bin

The advatage to a box mod is the batteries. They are very cheap to replace and easy to charge. The 14500 is 900 mAh versus 150mAh for the 510 starter so it lasts six times as long.

50Ml of 24mg is a steal for $11.

Marlb, 50ml, 24mg E-Liquid

Add a few atties and a drip tip a charger and a couple of batteries and you will have one amazing setup for very little.

I think they still have a coupon code out there for a few bucks off as well ("strell"). They ship super fast and cheap.
