Ready to buy, but I have a few Q's

[Torvus74]

Hello everyone, complete newb here, after reading a few forums I decided to go with a two piece and the VK seems to be the way to go, but I do have a few questions I hope you guys are kind enough to help me with.

1: On the V4L website the kit I want says it comes with 5 cartomizers, I see where I pick the strength but what about the flavors?will all 5 be the same or can I mix it up?

2: I smoke 1 pack-1.5pack a day of camel lights, any other camel smokers try the camel flavor in comparison? or even the cowboy?

3: I don't order much over the internet and I'm not to keen about using my cc, can I go buy one of those temp. cc's from walmart and us it?

thanks for any help!
Mike

Request what carts/strength you want in the notes field..if Steve has those carts in stock, that's what you'll get.

I've only tried the MBORO/COWBOY so far, however the brand names don't really taste exactly like your brand anyhow. I've ordered some of the other tobacco flavors the other day to test them out, and I recommend the same. The MBORO/COWBOY carts are pretty darn good though.

I use a pre-paid Mastercard from Money Mart (cheque cashing place). I know that you cannot use those wal-mart cards with PAYPAL and other online merchants, so I recommend you just invest in a pre-paid like I did. Takes 2 minutes at various merchants around town. (There is a difference between VISA gift cards and VISA pre-paids.)

i have literally made 100's of cc transactions with no ill effects. steve will mix it up if you ask.

hope that helps a little at least.

Steve will do his best to accommodate you...trust that you will be smiling...as far as your CC....you are in good hands...when you create your account, you will be logged into a secure server (you'll see the http:// change to https://) the s indicates an encrypted and secure connection. If anything goes wrong, and it wont, you can trust that it will be made right.

V4L is unrivaled in customer support.

The tobacco flavors taste more like freshly opened unlit cigarettes, no "ashy" taste. Ive noticed subtle differences between them, and prefer all of them to my old trusted Marlboro mediums (now I realize how much of a chemical taste analogs have) My favorite is actually a 50/50 mix of Hilton and 555.

Thanks all for the replies. The pre-paid cards is a good idea, I didn't know there was a difference never really looked at them.

Unless you really really like the taste of tobacco I'd recommend asking for 3 or 4 different tobacco flavours in your mix, and getting a pack of something like the doc pepper or RY or something - I love the taste of cigarettes, and got a pack of mboro, but quickly discovered that while smokes taste nice, so does dr pepper, and fruit and lots of other things, and just because this'll help you smoke less/none doesn't mean it needs taste the same.
Anyhows, this is just one guys opinion, take it with a grain of salt.

Also: strength: if you smoked lights I think you'll find that the 24mg carts are similar in strength, but to get a 36 or 3 to try out also, and an 18 or 11 or something to try the other side. I'm thinking that lower is better for you, but it's better to start high and work down later if switching over, to ensure the nicotine craving is fully squashed, than to try to get too healthy too fast

I smoked ultra lights and it seems the 18's are right about at it, but a 24 kicks a craving out the door pretty quickly.

Also, I'm a web developer. I set up secure servers, write integration for merchant accounts, payment gateways, all sorts of stuff, and these days those things are pretty damn secure.
I'f you're particularly concerned, tell it not to remember your credit card number, then even if the worlds top hackers do decide to go after V4L and manage to succeed (most stuff is basically unhackable these days - yes, I used to be a hacker too ) then you'll still be safe if you didn't tell it to save it.
Me, I'm happy with it saving it cause I know that a) the odds of being compromised are about a billion to 1, and that even if it is compromised, the CC company is insured for that crap and I'm about 99% sure whoever you're with, you'll be covered.

One caveat: if you're on the net over a wireless network, make sure it has encryption, cause this is where stuff usually gets compromised. Wired networks are best, then home or office serucer wireless. don't use an internet cafe most hacking/stealing thee days is either from public computers or unencrypted plain-send wireless network packet sniffing.
