Received my kit today and a question

[Beachlover]

I received my XL Manual Kit today and I must say I love it!! Better than my other 2 favorite kits. At first the WOW carts took some getting used to and I filled 1 with my favorite juice. I really think the WOW carts are for me...didn't care for the Cool Carts.

My question though...do I really have to let it sit for 1/2 hour after 14-16 puffs? I am a heavy vapor as I am a smoker (haven't really quit yet though I think this XL can do it for me) so I hate the idea of having to let it sit for 1/2 hour.

Why do you have to let it sit for a half hour?I just take a hit whenever I want.I dont have to smoke it like a cig.Its not going to burn out or be wasted if I dont.I just take a hit every few minutes.Just top it off and keep it wet.

Hmmm that's the first I've heard of a "rest period"! I vape on my stuff as I want... 2 or 3 drags now, some more when I feel like it. And when I'm having adult beverages and chain vape... all bets are off. LOL, it can rest when the battery runs out. Then screw on another and let 'er rip. I like the XL bats too... I need a mod bat with 5 volts for 36 hours!

actually they do suggest it in some sort of handout that comes with it. but...from what I gathered and from my 2 months of experience... you can vape whenever you want. just dont over heat the cartos!

I chain vape on it till the battery is dead and switch to the next. LOL
Coolcarts are great for the passthrough.

I read that somewhere too and promptly ingnored it. That's why there's ofter two carts of the same flavor laying here if I'm really enjoying it & that way the cartos won't get overheated.

Thanks for the responses! I was reading the little manual thing that came with it and it said to let it sit for 1/2 hour after 14-16 puffs. As long as you all don't that is good enough for me! I might be unfair on the cool carts as I don't like the flavor. Will have them with my coffee maybe because with coffee I won't notice. I also don't like the ones I picked out but figure I'll add some juice that I do like that will go good with them. Maybe I can do that with both kinds of the ones I don't like. I'm glad I got a couple of packages of the blank WOW cartos!

I love the XL batteries though! Very comfortable to hold and great vapor!

Yep I agree XL batteries all the way! And I just rotate when the cart gets hot, works great for me! Vape 555 for a hour, then some RY4 for a hour, then some WOWboy for a hour, then some Vanilla for a hour, then some Peppermint for a hour, then some Smilin for a hour, then some menthol for a hour... k you get the idea of my rotation

I remember when I first started vaping in fall 09, most companies recommended letting the atomizer cool off between puffs, something like a 1/2 hour if memory serves. ...... me off at first until I realized it made no sense - also annoying then was the 5 sec cutoffs. VAPE VAPE VAPE - No need to wait! Things are MUCH better now than a year ago, can't wait to see how things evolve in the next year.

No need to wait, UNLESS you're sucking so hard and fast that the carto is overheating. Chain vapeing can do that.

I love my new XL!! Both batteries now need charging...the 2nd one wasn't as charged as the first one I guess and the first one has been charging for a couple of hours (I think) I can see now I will have to order a couple of more batteries the next time a sale comes up. Today is the first day I have not had a cigarette since getting up but now with both the batteries temporarily out of commission I feel that is going to be the record for me...3 1/2 hours. I have my Lux and Riva to use but it is not the same...I like my XL much better! The other 2 just don't satisfy my cravings...I am already thinking of a cigarette. I keep glancing behind me but the light is still red...sigh.

Do I really need to charge it 8 hours or as soon as the light goes green am I okay?

 

[MarciaSS]

Beachlover,you can take it off the charger and use it as soon as the light turns green as they don't have a "memory".

 

[Beachlover]

Thanks Marcia! I love this thing and didn't want to wreck it!
