Yes, this was my first time buying actual liquid. I'm only about 3 weeks into vaping. I messed up with the juice a lot, ruined some cartos and wasted tons of it! Now, I have it down pat. But the learning curve sucked. Then I ran out of money till today! LOL.

I will try and find an alternative cigg for a few days. Thanks!

Yep, see if you can find some place that sells disposable ecigs. I know I can get some from the Speedway by my house. In the future, I would suggest making sure you have plenty on hand and you can even go the extra bit and buy a bottle of nicotine liquid. That way if you run out all you need is a bit of PG/VG and some flavoring from the store and you can mix up a batch of something to see you through. I have a bottle of 60mg liquid that has gotten me though more than one juice gap.

Or just run out and get some glycerin (Humco brand in the first aid aisle) at any walmart (around $2.50)

see if they have gotten around to putting out thier little green hanging display of loranns flavorings (2 1dram bottle per pack $2.00) that they got in a few weeks ago, on it you can find rasberry & strawberry that are fine to use (i'd stay away from the orange, peppermint oils)

and if you have a tractor supply company near you can pick up some pg there (at $19.99 a gal) (it's listed under ketosis treatment) ....I didn't have it when I first started so I just went with gv and flavoring (just to get by for a few days)

Now you can just use gv and some flavoring to get help you through ....yes you won't have the nic in it but it helped me get through the cravings a bit .... all that billowing vapor helped alot lol

good luck

If all else fails, try your local tobacco shops as well. Most (if they are anything like my area) are just old-school analog cigarette/cigar shops that carry a tiny selection of generic e-cigs simply to offer some kind of electronic alternative. They usually have some kind of juice, too, and while not great it'll get you through this pinch. I had to do this once before (mine had NLA, apparently Never Light Again, brand e-juice, only 12mg, only VG) and it kept me going. Good luck.

A pack of nicotine gum would be much better than an analog imo, just another option.

I always keep a large bottle of dekang for emergencies, you can get a 50ml bottle from madvapes for like $11. Not my favorite juice but its fine when I'm running low. For $20 you can get a bottle of dekang and a pack of cartos that should get you a few weeks worth of vaping, great insurance imo.

It is kinda hard when you first start out and aren't sure how fast you will use juice. After awhile you'll have a stash of juices that can last you months =)

If you decide to go buy some VG or something like Patxxoo said, I wouldnt recommend you get it from Walmart. Their Glycerin has additives in it and you dont eant that. Make sure anytime you buy it it is pharmacutical grade. Also if you buy favoring like the Loranns, make sure they are not oil based. Oil based flavorings are generally not water soluble and can give you some trouble.

Just a quickie here about the Humco (brand name) it is USP grade you can verify it simply look at the front of the bottle and it will tell you that health-compendium.com - What is USP grade?
under the active ingredients it lists : Glycerin 99.5% the other .5% is water

Also for futher info you can read this info http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ble-glycerin-vs-humco-glycerin-warning-5.html and decide for yourself

Also the reason I said to check out the raspberry and strawberry flavorings is because they are water soluable and a quick and easy method to help get through a short period until new juices with nic can arrive (and to avoid the orange and peppermint oils because they are not water soluable and they do have ingredients that are not good to start off with for a new person who doesn't yet know how to dilute them)


Happy vaping :vapor:

Once you run out of juice once, you never will again. I Just had a mini meltdown the other day because I ordered some more from want2vape, didnt see that they were out of town so my order wasnt processed till a week later. I ran out of juice that I like, but I made due with juice I dont like I added some DYI cinnamon candy flavor that I got @ Michael's craft store to cover up the flavor that I didnt like. Good way to get rid of juice you dont like IMHO. About a month ago or so I ran out completely and was just vaping pure unflavored VG I got at whole foods for a day or so. I tired to add nic with the little drops that were left in all my other bottles. I felt like I was on analogs again trying to get my fix by digging butts out of my ash trey.

Look up the local vendors (hopefully you are lucky enough to have one or more who are close) and see if maybe they can arrange a local pick-up instead of shipping. I know of at least one vendor in my area who I hear is willing to help out people this way on occasion. I'm also lucky enough to have a storefront that is local that I can go to and get goodies almost whenever I want.

I'm still working on finding the right online vendor for me who has quick enough and stable enough shipping and the right stock of juices that I like. That way I can place my orders and know pretty much when they will arrive. My latest order tracking has been showing that it is still at the postal facility local to the vendor and it's driving me nuts. I'll be going to the local guy (Vaporphoxxe) today to get some juice to tide me over until the USPS gets off their butts and gets my package moving :)

It's like running a warehouse trying to keep the right juices in stock here at the house for me and my wife. Good luck.
