Re-Use Batteries and Cartomizers from disposables

[colschmi]

Since we are all fans of recycling (Right?) I wanted to share with everyone something I discovered about a certaint type of disposable E-cig.

Please forgive me if this is a big DUH for everyone else.

So, when my $80.00 e-cig atomizer broke on me, I went and grabbed a disposable e-cig from my local 7-11. When I looked at it, it was a 2 piece one, that could be taken apart. SO, when I used it up, (It wore out REALLY early, I think it was on the shelf for awhile) I took it apart, and charged the batt. It worked! And it lasted for a LONG time too! What's even better? The Cartomizer is refillable too! All one needs is a charger compatible with the batteries. This is funny to me, because I have tried another, cheaper disposable, and its just one long tube. Anyways, I'm new to e-smoking, and I thought t his would be a good 1st post.

Conclusively, I am able to get a spare battery and cartomizer for $15 bucks! thats cheap as hell!

This forum is awesome, I got a lot of info here the past few days.

I am glad that you enjoy the forum, and welcome.

I have never bought ecigs anywhere except on line because the ones at gas stations ect are crap. But if you enjoy it and it is cheap then go for it.

@ Col. Gaunt: Ya, the one I got from a gas station is a disposable, what I was saying is that the cartomizer from the ispoasble, as well as the battery, are compatible with my More expensive Elektro AND Njoy NPRO. I just posted the info, because people that buy this particular e-cig are wasting an excellent cartomizer, and avg. battery when they throw it away. Thanks for the welcome, btw, I bought Johnson Creek smoke juice, and it's da bomb. I'm sure others out there are good too, in fact does anyone have a particular smoke juice they recommend?

Don't get me wrong, I and everyone here appreciate the information. I just feel bad for the people that buy such things because they do not know better and it turns them off to the whole vaping experience.
I only know fruit flavors, I am not into tobacco flavors.

I know what you mean! I got totally obsessed with trying new PV's, carts, etc.

@ Dirtyjake: I bought the disposable from a 7-11 in the Chicago area... it has an SGS logo on back, but no other manufacturer ID.

I have learned a lot since I originally made this thread, and the disposable I am referencing closely resembles a KR808-D (it charges on my elektro charger, and on the back it says model # 808D/D-1) It funny, its a disposable, but it unscrews as if you are SUPPOSED to maintain it anyway, combining the disposable batts/carts with my single batt elektro allowed me to hold out until I got more juice and carts for my original model... btw I have another post regarding an adaptor so I can use the parts interchageably... anybody know anything about that?

@Col. Gaunt and laborer75: I am also obsessed, in fact when I bought my first e-cig almost a week ago now, it got all messed up the first day, and I was obsessing over a way to get a new atomizer, or a whole new e-cig altogether... in a week I have dropped over $200 getting started! So, I now have an NJOY NPRO which can either be a 3 piece, or a 2 piece; and I also have an Elektro 2 piece (the one I frantically bought when my first one broke, quite hilarious what one will do for a fix, be it nicotine, or worse.

Eh, after reading my post, I am kinda going off in tangents at multiple people... I am new to posting in forums, I have always been a lurker until now

Well its nice to hear from you instead of you lurking. The forum is all about conversation, questions and answers so feel free to post.

Well, Thanks thats good to know if I'm ever stuck without.

Awesome. Ya, I had my sister go grab an e-cig, and she got one for her husband too, I really hope they stick to it. Today, I was able to resist my morning analog... the past few days I insited on having a real cig in the morning for some reason... probablly just related to addictive behaviors and not a physical desire for nicotine. Hey, 1st day analog free so far!
