I'm out of juice, I have a prefilled cart still untouched and about 30 used carts I might be able to squeeze a few drops out of... that gets me through tonight. The mail doesn't run tomorrow in the US and I have 3 orders making their way to me but they obviously won't be here until next week now (although I'm gonna have a Come To Jesus meeting with the company that processed my order on the 25th and didn't ship until the 30th).

Anyhow, I'm already having a nic fit just knowing that tomorrow it's gonna be either analogs or cold turkey. My wife had our last remaining analogs last night to help save the juice for me and the smell almost flattened me (I had NO idea they smelled so disgusting, no wonder they're banning it everywhere).

I'm not sure I'm capable of setting up a chem lab yet to make my own juice mainly because I've got five kids running around here who make concentration a bit tricky.

Does anyone know of any suppliers in the Greenville, SC area? I know there's at least one opening soon because when I was showing my 510 to a friend last weekend he said he was at the county office a few days before and heard a woman picking up a business license for what sounded to him like "an e-cig store" and then I showed up with an actual e-cig.

Anyhoo.... I'm never gonna make it until the mail runs on Monday. If nothing else, think of the poor bunny!

Google says there's one 10 miles from here, do they sell juice?

They sell carts. If you don't have the same model they sell (Njoy wasn't it?) your only choice would be to buy a whole kit and extra carts..........

Or you could see if there is a mall near you with an SE kiosk in it...............

Hobby Lobby, get some glycerine and a lorann's candy flavor. Make sure the candy flavor is just P.G. and flavor..not oil and the Gylcerine in the baking isle says usp or food grade on it. Add the flavor mix to your carts that have a bit of juice left in them so you get a dab of nic. That should hold you over for the next couple of days. The mixing is no more then putting glycerine in any small bottle and adding a drop or two of flavor. Banana is the best and easiest to make. Though any fruit flavor is easy. They taste fine with the little tobacco flavor left in your cart.
Just wait for the kids to go to bed and mix a tiny batch.

Good luck!

You guys are super, information overload... may try squeezing juice out of all the carts to see how much volume I have then going with Marykay's suggestion of adding some vg/flavor from hobbylobby (really? HOBBY LOBBY?! lol!) since I've got menthol/chocolate and cherry if I can add some more of either choc or cherry it shouldn't be a disgusting flavor.

I'm NOT gonna try analogs, as I wrote earlier, just smelling them last night was an experience I don't care to repeat, I can't believe it's only been a week since I was puffing through almost 3 packs a day and now they make me sick just sniffing them.

Might try the njoy carts at the truck stop if I can't syringe enough juice out of the carts I have here... even just squeezing out an njoy cart into a bottle full of my other leavings might help raise the nicotine level.

Thank you thank you thank you!

CARTS ARE KIND OF EXPENSIVE - $19.95 FOR 10 HERE. If you are going to do that, at least purchase the highest mg you can get and cut it with pg or vg. Those carts are not compatable with the 510, but if you have a super cigarette or something close you can make them work.

Good luck.

I realize they're expensive, and the carts are not compatable, as you said. But the inner fiber can be removed and put into the other carts to use up the juice. He hasn't many choices at this point.

Nice post MaryKay....this is good advice if he buys some carts from Pilot to stretch them out.,........

    I found a much better way than squeezing (or a better way to squeeze) -
    Press the stuffing down tight all the way to the bottom of the cart with something - I used an ice pick - Then I took my syringe and put it all the way at the bottom and pulled back the plunger all the way letting the air pressure do the work - It sucks it dry till it makes that end of the milk-shake sound - - I got over 10 ml out of about 30 spent carts that way - Course I have pen-style carts - so results may vary :)
