My hubby & I started using v2 e-cigs 6 days ago with great results & haven't smoked at all. I'm not going to "blow smoke up anyone's a#$ " & say it's been a breeze, but I am getting through it (1.5 pk @ day for 40+ years).
Anyway, I like my v2 but am overwhelmed by all the info about 510's to 901's, filling cartridges, etc. We are using the prefilled, but can see where it would be quite a savings to fill our own. Are you saying that the prefilled cartridges can be cleaned & refilled? Any suggestions or info would be very much appreciated.

Yes you can refill most cartomizers. If you take something like a straightened paperclip you can pop off that soft white mouthpiece and drip in new juice down the sides into the polyfilling. You can boil or wash them out and refill with a complete new flavor. Depending on your juice they can last through 4-10 refills easily. Learning to top off your cartomizers will keep you from vaping burnt filler.

Since you are only on day 6, you should go look at all the sites mentioned below since you can still return you V2cigs kit. Nothing really wrong with their system, but they sell the same thing at any number of wonderful vendors for a lot less. V2cigs is just an overpriced KR-808D1 rebrander.

Vapor4Life.com is a great place to get started if you like cig size like the v2cigs because everything they sell is 808 so it's less confusing. Great company with fast service and stands behind their product. Sign up for their newsletter, because they have a sale a few times a week and you can get up to 30% off at times. All their stuff is compatible with what you currently have.

Anyway not trying to push anything on you, but you could save some serious money with any of the great reliable vendors in the vendor forum. Shop around, so much cool e-cig stuff. Glad to see all the new ECF members and new vapers.

Read the InfoPages link on the top left. Someone went through a lot of trouble writing all this stuff up. Basically the 808, 510, 901, 4081, etc. are the different thread types.

Thanks Juice Junky,
I checked into V4L today & decided to try some of their juice. So wish me luck.
Just to let everyone know, my hubby & I went to the bar tonight for some social time & a few drinks. We nicely asked if it was OK if we vaped. They told us "yes" & actually got some interested looks & comments. No condemning. Whew, what a relief not to have to fight people or the urge to smoke tobacco. Big test & we passed. Yippeee!!!

Don't really understand all the "vape hate" going out to v2. They have an amazing product for someone looking to quit using analogs. Also, their new proprietary e liquid "v2 red platinum" is by far the BEST tobacco flavored e-liquid on the market, hands down and believe me, ive tried them all. For most people who are just looking for some help to quit smoking, v2 is a great way to do this. They also have a lifetime warranty on all of their products. Who can beat that?

:vapor: I like my v2 ecigs. Very pleased with the product. We had a problem with one of the autos that we received with our "Couples Kit" & they QUICKLY replaced it with a new one. Had the new one within a week. We did get some V4L ejuices. Ordered the Cowboy & Mocha Coffee. They are both very good. I'm going to try the "Red" from v2. It's a bit more pricey that V4L, but I like their ecigs. And we have quit smoking for more than 2 weeks. Found a neat banner:

Fun huh? And that's just my totals, not Hubby's. So double that & we have the household's numbers.

:thumbs: Thanks!!! I ordered 2 ejuices from V4L & am very pleased with the flavors. And like you said, easy enough to fill the cartos. Watched a video about cleaning cartos too.

I'm proud to say that Hubby & I haven't smoked cigs in over 2 weeks. So...

And that's just me. Double the numbers & that's both of us.
Gotta love vaping.
 
I orderd my V2 kit about a week ago, and 2 days after I ordered it they sent me a message saying they were out of Reds and asked if I wanted to cancel or adjust my order. I adjusted my order, and the next day the status changed from "Awaiting Fullfillment" to "Awaiting Shipping". Several more days and I talk to them online and they say order will go out this afternoon. Well that afternoon has come and gone and the order still hasn't gone out. I am cancelling my order once they open up today. Already ordered a 510-t from goodejuices an hour ago, hopefully I will be happy with that. For a first timer, V2 almost put me off to trying an E-cig. If it wasn't for this forum I think i would have just given up.

It's expensive for what it is- The lifetime warranty is limited if you read the fine print. They aren't the only supplier that has a lifetime warranty, so does Smoke Tip I believe.

I don't think it's 'hate' but people have posted about their less than positive experiences. You get that with any product.

Pretty sure he will move on to one of the 'Mod' types as soon as he gets his 'sea legs.' He always does his own auto repairs and radio mods, too. :) Also, whenever we 'get interested' in anything we end up with 10-15 different styles and models laying around the house.

Try http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/106016-how-build-puck.html it cost ~$25 with batteries to make.

The issue he has, besides the strong dislike for the flavor and 18mg strength of the carts he bought, is lack of vapor.
you can try 100% VG ejuice, if you decide to build a puck you can easily switch between ~3.4 to ~4.6v to find what he enjoys more cooler or warmer feel etc.
