One week vaping...just an update

[alovingmommyof3]

Ok so I got my two kits a week ago yesterday. I didn't really use it until a week ago. There has been a few bumps in the road. Like one battery dying completely and then magically came to life after the replacement came in. I threw away three Wow cartomizers and one cartridge because either I ruined them or thought I had. Yesteday I tried cleaning the Wow cartos for the second time (the first time didn't go well). They are drying now so I hope all goes well. Those two Wow cartos were in use (along with carts) for three days. Since I used carts too the Wow cartos didn't get a lot of use in those three days. For my ego I tried mega cartomizers and when used tasted like plastic. Cignot is going to take them apart to see what went wrong....maybe I filled incorrectly. I tried dripping and found that it didn't seem to taste right. So now I am refilling carts and cartos. I need to find a good system for this. And I need to find better cartos for the vapor king. I don't like the Wows. Learning all this caused me to go through 1.5 30ml bottles in a week. OUCH.

It has been a day and a half since I last had an analog. The last time I ran out of analogs I didn't go out and buy more.

My ego produces more vapor than my vapor king. The vapor king doesn't have an easy pull like the ego. I like both of them for different reasons. While I was doing some work at a theater a friend of mine and I were conspiciously vaping. That sure helped the time fly by.

I have ordered more mega cartos for the ego from Litecig. These are the whistle tip (the ones mentioned above were not). Maybe these will work better. Also got a mega atomizer and some mega carts. All the mega things make the ego look kind of ugly in my opinion. The vapor king needs some mega carts. When I get more juice I will have to try these out.

I have almost given up a couple of times. The learning curve is a pain. Finding good cartos for the vapor king is a pain.

And now I want to DIY and can't seem to figure out what to get for measuring and such. I got the nic juice and flavoring almost figured out (just can't find the cheapest but with good flavor).

Another bump is the fact that I ordered juice from freedomsmokeusa last Thrusday. I can't stalk the mailcarrier because it hasn't even shipped yet. How long should it take to be shipped? I am too impatient.

Anymore advice (besides what I have gotten) on cartos for the vapor king would be great.

Congratulations, and welcome to vaping!

You might want to consider hanging onto anything you think you may have destroyed so that if you find out later that you probably didn't, you can rescue it.

Don't worry - you'll get the hang of it, and you're in good hands with Cignot.

Great, and congratulations!!!

Don't give up - you're surrounded by people who can and will help in these forums. Sorry I can't help with Vapor King cartomizers, but you could do a search in here to see if someone else has any recommendations.

And now I want to DIY and can't seem to figure out what to get for measuring and such.

Syringes and eye droppers are commonly used for measuring in DIY. Surgical gloves are an absolute necessity if you'll be working with nocitine. All of those are available at drug stores or Walmarts, and some of the suppliers who promote DIY offer them as well. Additionally you may want a small funnel and/or a measuring cup of some sort. I recommend avoiding plastic when possible since it absorbs odors.

Here are some links on DIY in these forums:

• DIY e-liquid
• E-liquid Recipes
• DIY Recipe Room

Enjoy, and have fun!

Well, you aren't buying ciggies anymore so I'd say you're doing good. There is a learning curve and you're still in it. Once you get most of it figured out it goes pretty easy from there. I tried the Mega carto's and didn't like them. I tend to chain vape at times and they wouldn't wick fast enough for me. But some people like them so give them a shot. They do take a LOT of juice though, around 60 drops when new so be prepared to use a bunch of juice in a hurry when you get'em. To fill them I just dripped the juice in the hole in the battery end. Some people say you have to use a syringe, but I never did and I got the juice in there ok. You'll have it down to a rhythm soon and everything will work out, just keep reminding yourself how much you're not smoking.

You got any of those syringes from the pharmacy when you get rx'x for the little ones? Next time you're at the store ask the pharmacist for a few. No needles on them but not necessary to use that kind for DIY. Ask for one each of 1ml, 5ml, and 10ml.
