So glad you got your kit, Natasha! Good Luck and Keep vaping! I think the hardest part actually is finding the flavors that you love, but it's a very fun journey

Yes, definitely get the blank cartomizers and maybe a clearomizer or three. As far as my favorite Niquid's flavors...
- Sinnamon, #1 favorite, This is straight cinnamon...
Must keep this always!!
- Strawnanna Smoothie, exactly like drinking a thick strawberry and banana milkshake/smoothie.
- Butterscotch, like Werther's and Brach's butterscotch candy
- Biscotti, yummmm... smooth and very lightly sweet, like almond cookies
- Sinnabun, like cinnamon buns warm from the oven
Menthol favorites:
- Bahama Blizzard, blend of oranges and cranberries.. great for cleansing those tastebuds
- Southern Freeze, delicious blend of peaches and strawberries
Next on top of my "to try" list is Blueberry. As you can see, I just love the Niquids line.
Thank you.... wondered about the Cinnamon... will get that too.
Watch the Sinnabun....I liked it at first, then it kind of got overpowering to me. Also it gunked up my cartos. I fill them and refill them and refill them. Some I've refilled so many times I don't even know. I don't find the taste bad, they don't last as long as a fresh one tho, but I keep the same juice in all the time. But what I do now with the sinnabun is add a little to the apple flavor. Perfect combination.
I have one of those .49 carto cases and I fill up 5 the night before, (put their condoms back on them) and put them in the little case that SI sells with a couple batteries and I'm good to go. I also have the mega charge case too I keep in my purse in case I need to do a charge. Of course that holds 2 batteries. Then I have my X2. I guess I'm bad. 5 batteries and 5 cartos for the day.....well, no actually there are a couple cartos in the holder of the mega charger, too....so 5 batteries and 7 cartos and I'm good to go!

Just to add about cartos....
I don't toss mine unless they won't work anymore. I just tried that boiling method (on the stove, boil in water for 15 minutes) and it worked ok for them. Saw a video about it. Then you put them in a collander and rinse. He did that twice. He then stuffed paper towel in the top to draw the liquid out, leave overnight. I put them in a little tray thing I have after that and set them by the heater (we're in Michigan....the furnace runs alot) for a couple days to make sure they were really dried out. They seem to be working fine. Like I said in the previous post, they don't last as long as new ones as far as vaping time....but I'm a hoarder, so I tend to keep things to reuse if I can.
Check out the videos on you tube. A lot of good "how tos" there.

Natasha, don't go crazy buying liquids: buy sample, or small, sizes to try. And for at least the first 3 months, don't throw out any liquids that you didn't like on the first taste. Your tastes will change, over time, and you can go back and re-visit the flavors to see how they seem. The Volt cartomizers are the best out there, and hold up very well.

LOL! Well, at least there is not much risk of you being without!
Ordered the Sinnamon, so should be OK there. Have the MEGA PCC as well. And as of yet, I've not been able to order the .49 carto case, as they are still out of stock.
Can you use a Nano clearomizer with an adapter on the Volt smaller batteries? I was thinking about trying something different than the cartomizers.
Ordered 6 Niqs, but the smallest size. And some blank cartos.
I DO have a question. I noticed that the prefilled cartos are labeled w/ the flavor. How does one "label" the blank cartos to keep track of what flav is in what carto?
You can use different colored drip tips to tell them apart. Or if you don't like using a drip tip, I've also put a dab of nail polish in different colors to tell them apart. I tend to only use 2 or 3 different flavors at a time so it's easy enough to remember that way for me.
The Nano is the smaller one and the Clearomizer is larger. They will fit on all the batteries but the Clearomizer will look top heavy on the small batteries. It will work tho. I think I've read that new T3 they have will not work with the smaller batteries. I don't have one of those.
I found a silver magic marker. That's what I use. It wears off after a bit, I just redo on it. Some of the members have bought a label maker and make little labels to put on the cartos.
SI sells colored end-caps, two different packages of 5, for a total of 10 different colors. That's what I use, plus I have some of the "avery" type labels that I use to keep track of new flavor samples, etc. I favor the colored dot type; dot on the bottle, same color dot on the carto.
Just wait, Natasha....it is so cool to go to the dentist or doctor, and not get a lecture on the evils of smoking, being asked when you're going to quit, do you want to quit, yada yada yada, ad nauseum.
I wanted to jump in more, earlier, but I had just returned home from the dentist, and was feeling very ill-used. I'm not as emotionally wrecked, now, but the pain has commenced. Oh, joy.
Drip tip... like these...? Smokeless Image | The Best Electronic Cigarette I did buy some of these, but all in black. Of course....

OH MY... I was at the dentist yesterday. 2nd root canal, but no pain whatsoever. What did you have done?
AHA.. DOTS... that would work also, and be very simple.
Two fillings, same side, top and bottom, followed by root planing, same side, top and bottom. There was some difficulty with one of the fillings, and my system is resistant to local anesthetics, so it takes a bunch. I was once punched in the side of the face by a very strong, very angry man; except for the absence of lacerations inside my mouth, this feels pretty much the same.
YIKES! I hate going to the dentist. What you just went thru is WHY many people stop going! Hang in there....
LOL.. guess I'll have to wait until I can taste and smell again!
Drummerskey... does the Volt banner in your sig update automatically or do you have to do it manually?
RECAP & REVIEW:
My 1st Volt order arrived this past Thurs. (Prem starter kit, 4 boxes pre-filled cartos, misc chargers, PCC)
2nd order arrived today (Niquids, blank cartos, 2 Nanos). And I've learned some things:
I prefer a 1.2 or 1.8 nic to a 2.4.
I have ashtray mouth and so far the only flavors I can "taste" (barely) are Sinnamon & Mintoid.
Tobacoo flavors only add to the "ashtray mouth".. nix those.
There IS a difference in vaping methods... dragging on a cig vs sucking on a straw. The latter being far more friendly to the taste buds.
I prefer the new Niquids to the pre-filled carto flavors.
I prefer filling the Nanos to filling blank cartos. For one, the Nano is usable sooner after filling. And, I also like the mouthpiece better on the Nano. And I can see the liquid level. Need more Nanos.
I've learned that now I need to place another order tomorrow....
So far, I'm in the hole $-wise. Howev, I've not smoked an analog since the Volt arrived. Nor do I want to. So, except for this "ashtray mouth" nonsense, I am verah pleased.
Thank all of you again for your assistance!

Poor Catlady - I hope you start feeling better. I hate the dentist. I keep unclenching my hands and then I realize they are all clenched up again. I do that over and over while I am in the chair.
