Hi,

I have alot of questions :blink: (yes again, im so sorry) for everyone about ordering juice. I was buying carts, but am interested in trying some more flavors for my KR808D. So I get online thinking this will just be a quick what flavor, how much and how many mg.... but how wrong I was. Can someone please help me out with what these things mean/ what these options do if I choose them...

1.) Double flavor - may require thinning (does this mean less vapor or is there more to this?)

2.) PG VG or MIX... I understand the differences in PG vs VG, but if I choose a mix do I need to say how I want these mixed? or is there a way they normally do this? Is there a certain mix formula anyone would recommend?

3.) Throat hit requirements... standard, full flavor, filterless? Can anyone explain what they change for this and more on what these mean?

4.) Cart helpers for this flavor... What is this and is it worth it?

5. ) How many ml should I order just to try out a flavor and see if I like it? I've seen 3ml and 7.5ml samples...

6.) a good place to buy empty kr808 carts so i can avoid having my flavors all mixed up

I know I have so many questions and I feel like I need to appologise for this... One day I hope to answer this many instead of always asking. :unsure:

By all the options you are listing I would assume they are from viking vapor. I just order mix they mix it their way and I like the consistancy. The cart helpers are little tags for your carts to label the flavo you use in them. The throat hit is up to you the standard is what I like seems like no TH at all to me I like no TH. I only oder double flavo on a few peppermint, blackberry, raspberry, pear, bing cherry they are flavors that seem to be fairly light. I have never had to thin any yet. On the other hand the coffee is vey thick without the double flavor and vey strong and would not need doubled. As for the cartos I dont know I dont use 808's I use 510 carto's and esmokeronline.com has good price on them and they are close to me.

I would have to not recommend the place your about to buy liquid from. Although i have a friend that uses them and has had no problems. I have went threw 6 Atomizers in 3 weeks using there juice. I took apart a few of the atomizers last night and the heating elements were encased in a shell of hard black gunk. From what i learned today this is from using juice that is not made from pure ingredients. I might have saved money on liquid but i more then made up for it on atomizer replacement

I have been using their juice exclusively for 3mos or so and no atty problems what so ever I still have my original Joye attys and still work perfect just clean them in hot water every 2 weeks. I have never had any problems their flavs are good, low cost, and seem to be good grade. My original Blu atty is still going stong with juice also.

I know I have so many questions and I feel like I need to appologise for this... One day I hope to answer this many instead of always asking. :unsure:

1.) Double flavor is exactly what it says. If a juice is not very flavorful ask for it the next time.
2.)PG/VG mix is kind of like a toss up between throat hit (th) and vapor production. You'll get better th with a higher PG and more vapor with a higher VG. That's the theory anyway. I like straight PG or an 80/20 mix.
3.) TH requirements are asking how much th you like. If you like a lot go filterless, not so much choose standard. I need a fair amount of th to feel like I've taken a hit. Some people don't.
4.) flbutterfly answered this one.
5.) If you're just trying flavors get the smallest size you can but also order as many flavors as you can too. You won't like all of the flavors you try, but you can hold onto them in case you run out of flavors you like. Using yucky juice is still better than going back to analogs, at least in my opinion. Once you find a couple of flavors you really like, stock up.
6.) Everyone has their favorite supplier, mine is Electronic Cigarette Supplies & Electronic Cigarette Refills for Name-Brand Electronic Cigarettes! E-Cigs from LiteCigUSA, they carry KR8 carts, cartos and juices. You couldn't ask for a better vendor for service, prices and speed.

Don't worry about asking too many questions, that's what ECF is for.

Not sure why it is doing it to me but for sure the darker liquids seem to be worse. I got a coffee from them and after ten drips the atty is clogged i thinned it down and even strained it threw a coffee filter and it still clogs me up. I hate to knock a place , when it seems like two people have not had problems with them while i am not having much luck. I got a bottle of mar broh from them and it will vap alot longer before i get a clogged atty.

Going to research some more and see if i can verify that this build up is caused by the fluid and not anything like vaping style.

Hi,

I have alot of questions :blink: (yes again, im so sorry) for everyone about ordering juice.. :unsure:

Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping. Every answer can inspire a dozen more questions and one question can have a multitude of possible answers. Infinite options sometimes just means a bigger headache.

Most of what you are describing are options the vendor has made available by choice or demand and will help you customize your vaping experience. Unfortunately even with all the fine answers given, it will be a trial and error thing. Even if you find the perfect ratio/flavor/etc the next batch might be a little different and then the search might be back on.

Good luck in finding your favorite vape and hopefully many enjoyable experiences along the way. And ECF wouldnt be what it is without new questions making us all think about ways to make vaping work for us.

Thank you for the heads up. The thing that really makes me want to purchase from them is some of their flavors, like the bubble gum and cotton candy... they both sound very appealing to me. Do you have any suggestions on another store that offers either of these liquids?

Thanks!

Number 4 is confusing to me... Any idea on how they make more or less th? I thought that it was the PG vs VG that determined how much vapor vs th you get? So if I order VG with a higher th how would they do this?

Thanks!
