Quick help before I order

[Brian J]

First off, Hi. Started vaping about 3-4 weeks ago w/ a store bought "Fuma" e-cig.
Wish I had joined here first before buying but at least it got me started. While there is nothing wrong w/ the Fuma I think buying the cartomizers will eventually kill me in cost. Plus the USB charger was cheaply made & irreplaceable (I had to repair mine)

So. After reading up on a few reviews I decided I would want to try the Boge Leo.
1st: I can get them from LiteCig which is close to me so wait times on orders shouldn't take long.
2nd: I've read a lot of good reviews on both the product & seller.

So. Since this is my first order should I buy an extra atty & battery now? *Hoping the answer is no as I'm pretty tight on funds.....but if 'should' I will.
Are the pre-filled carts in the starter kit refillable? I only ask because litecig is out of empty carts.
Anything else I should get while ordering ?
Planned on getting 30ml of tobacco juice & a small RY4.
Do I need a syringe? It's in the cart. Only $3.

Anything else I may be missing? My only concern with the Boge is the size, but bigger may mean better?

Thanks everyone.

Well unless you plan on usng a PT most of the time then you need 2 batteries to start. Else what would you vape while the battery is charging?

However, you could certainly try the PV first and make sure you like it before buying more pieces. I went overboard on my first PV with buying lots at once (spare batteries, spare charger for work, total of 3 attys, PCC, etc) but for subsequent ones I was just trying I just bought the minimum - one battery, one atty+carts or one pack cartos, charger - then bought more if I liked it.

If Boge Leo comes with carts and atomizer (not cartomizers aka cartos) then you do not need a syringe. carts are usually filled with dropper bottle of ejuice. Some cartomizers need a syringe.

Looking at Litecig, their kit is:

1 x LEO atomizer
1 x LEO 800mah Battery
1 x Protective Atomizer cover with clear jewel
1 x 801 Delrin Drip Tip 5 x Pre-filled cartridges
1 x 110VAC to USB wall adapter
1 x USB charger (use on your computer or with supplied wall adapter or any other USB 2.0 port or power source)

I'd say you might want more than one battery and some extra Atties as well. You will hate yourself if something happens to either one and you can't use it.

You could always go with a Joye eGo or Riva, both are really nice kits and might be a bit cheaper to get you started. My Riva kit was $30 at Liberty Flights and came with 2 batteries, 2 Atomizers, 10 carts (empty), chargers. etc...

Yes, the pre-filled carts are refillable. And since you already have a kit, don't put yourself "in hock" to be able to afford another battery and atty. I think that you'll soon find that the Leo is much more satisfying than the kit that you own now. Then when you can afford it comfortably, buy an extra battery and atty. (with the money saved from not buying analogs.)

Hey Brain J! welcome aboard. not worry about the Fuma. im kinda new myself and when i started i used the american blue tip.(that should make you feel better)let me see if i can help. 1.Lite Cig is a good vendor ive had no problems with past orders and shipping is fast.2. if you can get an extra atty, i know you said money is tight.3. you can re-use your pe-filled carts again but your going to have to pull out the filler material in the cart and rinse in hot water and pat dry to remove previous flavor. use a small saftey pin or tweesers for this.4) if your using cartidges you really dont need a syringe for filling. the bottle will have a dripper tip. up to you tho. your on the right path bro again welcome aboard


sorry Chimney didnt see your post!
u to Tol also dormouse !

You definitely want at least two batteries and two atties.
Just a suggestion and I understand about the cash being tight, but at least one or two other flavors of e-juice might be good, too. I don't know for sure if the carts that come with the kit are refillable , but most likely they are. I don't believe you really need the syringe since the bottles have dropper tips.
Good luck and welcome to ECF!

 

[Tol]

I would get a syringe anyway, for $3 or less, might as well. I have one on its way to me, I found after a bit of messing around with cartos, that having one would help me a heck of a lot
But if you use carts or even some of the smaller cartos, you can get by without one for sure.

Good advise above so I will just give a welcome to ECF and don't kick yourself for the firts POS. Most of us did it and you have found that vaping can work. Now that you found ECF you will be a much more informed consumer! Best of luck

Thanks everyone. I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
I was thinking against the Leo...only because I must have an oral fixation & like to hold it in my mouth like an analog.
So that being said..... maybe I should go w/ the popular Ego?? I notice they are considerably smaller.
(on a plus side, I can keep my Fuma as a backup... I figured out how/where to refill the cartomizer)

 

[dormouse]

You might want to post that as a new thread "Should I get Ego or Leo?" because most people will see your initial question if they look at this one. I have neither so I have no opinion!

I definitely went overboard on my third esmoke purchase. My first esmoke was the 510 I think a couple of years ago, and it was OK but all the parts died eventually and I never quit smoking. Then recently I went down to the states and thought I'd find one in stores. I didn't search long; instead i looked online for stored in Salt Lake that would sell them, all I could find was that one of the malls there sold something called the GreenNicotine. I checked it out without researching it (dumb) and impulsivly bought it.

Now i've run out of carts but fell in love with esmokes again and have quit smoking. So I started researching esmokes this time and decided I wanted the Joye eGo. So after searching all around the net I found the first site I ever bought an esmoke from: Puresmoker.com. They sold it for $50. I thought this was a great a price. But I didn't stop there. I bought:
2 LR attys
2 SR attys
1 HR atty
1 Zip tip
1 eGo Battery
1 Attomizer Cone
1 eGo icon case
(from Puresmoker.com)
30ml 60mg nicotine VG
a bunch of flavors of ejuice that I don't have the reciept for cause I ordered over the phone
(frome ecigexpress.com)
2 LR 306 attys
306 Drip Tip
5pk 510 carts
and a 901 to 510 adapter
(from nicfitnation.com)
All in it was about $250
And so far the only thing that's arrived are the last items from nicfitnation none of which I can use ahaha!

So, needless to say. I really hope I like my joye eGo! LOL!

So yeah. I would take these guys advice and start small. The only reason I went so big is 1. (im kinda of compulsive sometimes), and 2. I'm sort of an experienced e-smoker.

Happy vaping.

Thanks. We can sort of let this die as I did buy the eGo.
My main reasoning between getting that instead of the Riva is the warranty on parts was doubled for the eG0. If they are the "same" as people have mentioned.....then why the difference in warranties?
Plus I got one of the last SE Steel models from LibertyFlights I did get one 30ml of juice I was "sure" I would like (based on reviews)
Looking forward to getting it.
