Older Folks and Vaping

[MikeE3]

This is just my opinion. All of my gear is 510, and I have used Boge cartos since i started vaping over a year ago. So does my hubby. I admit I went through a time when I got a few in a row that wouldn't wick well. That was really unusual. In all my time vaping, I have probably had around 10 that wouldn't wick. Keep in mind that we have gone through 100's of cartos, and I, alone, have close to 30 flavors at a time in carto tanks. I am a Boge carto girl all of the way.

I have so much faith in Boge that I placed an order directly from Bogetech for 500 of them. I doubt that I'll ever switch. This being said, I have very little experience with any others, just always been happy with what I have.

elbert,

I agree with jewels. I suggest not to give up on Boge. My wife and I used many boxes of them and only had a couple few bad ones.

I'm sure the boge cartos are very good because lots of people swear by them but the main thing I was trying to point out is not to use LR cartos on the little volt battery. The volt cartos work very good as well especially on the volt battery. I do believe the volt will shut down when you try to use LR with it. Ask Rave on the other Mature Vapor thread, she is an expert on the Volt and has been using one since they first came out.

thanks
I had just pressed the order button at SI when this one came in.
figured if I was that unsure I would stick with what I know has been good for
as John Twoponies used to say "when in doubt don't"
I did order there larger cartos, they are 55mm instead of 35mm and hold 1.4ml

Still working on the pipe for near future.

I have gotten conflicting opinions on the Echo 1300 batter and the 3ml cartos.
some say good some say not good.

thanks again

The echo or Volt X2 setup works best with the Kuwako if that is what you want. I'm sure you will get conflicting opinions about every PV but I've been using an Echo for over a year and I've been very happy with it especially if you want an automatic. If want to stick with Volt the 650 X2 is a good auto and SI has a ce-4 vision clearo that works good with it and it will work good with the Kuwako.

That's a valid point you make. Doesn't hurt to have it repeated. The LR's shouldn't be used on a batt with less the 650mAh.

Hi Everyone - Just wanted to share info on a carto that I ordered & am pretty pleased with (my eternal large carto quest).

It's a 2.5ml Jumbo Resurrector - 1.7ohm single coil - Hope it's not luck of the draw (is that a pun?) since it's the first one out of the box, but I'm on day 3 with this & it's really nice - nice full draw & love the amt. of juice it holds. I'm still considering the one from Echo, I think that one holds even more.

Anyways - I want to wish everyone here a peaceful & safe Memorial Day......REMEMBER

I thought about trying one of those awhile back but never did. I know the regular ressurectors are very good but those jumbo ones hold about one ml more juice. You would get a stronger hit with those than you would the echo-e. The Echo-e holds less than the regular echo so it would only hold a little more than that one.

I've pretty much switched over to clearos on all my PV's. I'm using the Vivi 3.5 ml tank on my LT 18650, the 3ml bottom coil Phoenix on my mini LT, Riva ce2-T on my ego Twist, ce-3 xl bottom coil's on my Indulgence and 14650, echo ce4 clearo on my echo, Go-Go clearo Tank on my Go-Go,and a ce2 3ml Humongomizer on my 1300 Hello 016! The only one I'm still using a filler carto is on my echo Kuwako. I'm not sure what I'm going to use on my Ovale V8 that is on the way, probably either my new ce-6 or E-1 that are coming with it. Being as I use so many different PV's it is great to be able to see how much juice is in them otherwise I would never have a clue. lol

Let's all face it: we won't be happy until.....

Semper Fi!! There is one thing stronger than a Marine Corps infantry company....the Constitution they are sworn to defend!! Good Bless our Troops!!

Did you use the discount code memorial2012 for 21% off? I didn't know about it earlier until I was over on their thread looking for some info on if they would work with LR cartos. It would be a good time to get a 650 X2. With the discount they would almost be down to what the echo 650's are. Personally I wouldn't advise going with anything lager than the 650 with the X2's because they are a much longer battery than other batteries. The 650 X2 is almost the same size as the echo 1300. They are longer so you can use them as a passthru if you want to.

Wow what a picture!

Wow what a picture!

Well I didn't take it. If I saw that coming the last thing on my mind would be a camera

I spent a lot of dough experimenting but it was well worth it.

After all the failed attempts I made trying to quit smoking I had the attitude that I didn't care what it costs I'm willing to pay it if it works. I've made some bad purchases on gear and ended up with some awful juice but I don't regret it. Today I celebrated 2 months without a smoke, like you said "it was well worth it".

 

[RichardV]

I am 60 and smoked for 45 years, 3 PAD for about 8 of them. I had tried to quit more times than I can remember and had come to the conclusion that I would die smoking. I was having some breathing problems, coughing constantly with lack of energy. I had seen some articles & adverts for e-cigs several years ago but dismissed them as a new fad that was worthless. Little did I know then!
Early in February I saw a link on weather.com about "e-cigs exposed" and I clicked on it to see if my earlier opinion was correct. How could I have been so wrong? I did some research and in late Feb. I ordered an 808 starter kit and went from 30 cigs a day to 4 a day overnight. After the frustration of always having a battery charging and always wanting to have a smoke I found this forum and with the support & advice from "Older People" here I got a Kgo and upped my nic level. My last analog was 22 days ago!!!
Since I started vaping I have avoided 13 cartons of analogs! I am now into DIY juices and am going to attempt a Live oak cover for my Kgo. Also I have finally had my wife tell me that she is proud of me for quitting smoking. Life is great!
Vape on!

 

[my4jewels]

I agree that you'd get more help on the Volt forum. Rave also uses Volts, so she'd be of some help. I'm just not that familiar with 808's. My opinion referred only to my experience with Boge cartos.

the ones at smoke tech show up as Boge when you google but their description is Kr808D-1 / 302D Cartomizer
is that the same thing ?

since My Ecig suppy will take 14 + fdays to get here Ill pay the 4 extra $

Thanks

elbert,

I agree with jewels. I suggest not to give up on Boge. My wife and I used many boxes of them and only had a couple few bad ones.

I won't giveup on them. Ill order some next week.

thanks The X2 1300 would work too, ?

That's a valid point you make. Doesn't hurt to have it repeated. The LR's shouldn't be used on a batt with less the 650mAh.

Thanks, Sometimes I need things repeated. According to my wife most of the time.

Ill see what Rave has for input

Thanks One and All

Elbertdee:
I have been using the Boges for a long time and think they are the best standard carto around. I too have had an experience like you describe and it may be that you have flooded the carto. I have found that if it still produces some vapor, then it is working. But if there is too much liquid surrounding the coil, it won't vape well. Try taking the carto off your device and put the drip tip end in your mouth and blow pretty hard. Hold a tissue under the battery end to catch the liquid. Give it a couple of blows, then try it again. That usually brings it back to life for me. Hope it works for you.

 

[elbertdee]

Gadd
Thanks
I tried blowing out first and now again , no difference.
Ill order some more. As an old Girl friend of mine once told me
"You gotta try everything twice because the first time doesn't count."

In Vaping, I've realized there is no One-Experience-Fits-All. That said, here's mine.

I was a pack-a-day smoker (Marlboro, Marlboro Lights) for 55 years. For the past 10 years, I'd had persistent cough, shortness of breath when I exercised, lungs filling with fluid when I lay down at night to sleep, and a chest X-Ray two years ago that revealed a thickening of the top walls of my lungs. "Typical for a longtime smoker", I was told.

Was I in any immediate danger? No. But I couldn't deny that cigarette smoking would eventually kill me.

All of the above should have been sufficient motivation to quit, right? Nope. Then last fall, I met a woman and fell in love. That did it. I switched to Vaping on January 7 of this year. I cannot tell you how delighted the both of us are with my decision. She told me there were days last Winter when she thought: "He looks terrible. Grey. Is he going to be with us much longer?"

Two weeks after I started Vaping, my body began to detoxify. The coughing stopped. The color in my face returned. Lung capacity increased. Senses of smell and taste returned. Halleluiah.

Still craved analogs (one or two a day), though, and wondered why. Turns out that there are non-nicotine compounds/alkaloids created in the burning of tobacco that are psychoactive -- and part of the reason many of us started smoking in the first place.

If you're not satisfied with the the Vaping experience, you'll want to read this thread.

Although I don't visit ECF as much as I did when doing my 25+ hours of research in December of 2011, I still love to read the success stories. One interesting statistic: only about 2% of analog smokers have tried an E-Cig. I certainly intend to spread the E-Cig gospel as far and as wide as I can!

 

[txtumbleweed]

Great story JPMac thanks for sharing! Congratulations on finding love and for quitting smoking!

 

[Pathfinder]

Congrats on letting go of the analogs despite what a doc told you. Wonder why he thought they were dangerous. The eCig journey is interesting and fun and there's loads of people here to bounce questions and ideas off of.
I turned off the spell corrector so vaping just shows up as a word to be corrected. The steep learning curve includes spelling vaping I guess.

Thanks Janet H
I tried doing that but I cannot remove the check on auto correct. I was hoping somehow to add the word vaping to the spell checks lexicon. I will seek advice on this from an expert.
As far as Medpeople saying it is dangerous I truly believe that big money (tobacco, nicorette and others) learned from drug co's to influence some mds as vaping is a threat to their profits.
