Recieved an e-cig for christmas

[shinimouri25]

So as the title states I received an E-cig for Christmas from my GF. She bought it from totally vapor usa and now from some of the posts I've been reading I know that this was not necessarily the best decision on her part. It's the "Raptor" model and it did not come with any directions or instructions at all.

So I have three questions;
1. Does anyone here know where i can find instructions for this E-cig? I looked at the sticky here and there wasn't anything for this particular product.
2. Am I able to use any "juice" with this? or would i be stuck with a specific kind?
3. If say my atomizer or battery was to die or break would i have to buy a whole new one? or would other's be compatable with the existing product?


Thank you for any input you can give me. I have a fairly decent idea on most of this but i'm still new to all of this and i'd rather know than guess.

I've never heard of the Raptor. Do you have a pic or a link to it. It'll make it much easier to help you out if people know what it is. Probably a generic type.

After operating dat' google for a little bit, I found it, finally.

It's definitely a 510, standard joye 510 e-cig. It's not a bad e-cig, but MAN do they want a lot for it!

1. On youtube look up "joye 510 review" and look for a video by igetcha69. He's a great reviewer and he'll show you how to use it.

2. You can use any eliquid with it.

3. Don't buy from that site ever again, your GF didn't know enough about e-cigs and purchased what seemed cool I presume. A lot of people end up doing that, sadly. If you're satisfied with it, then by all means use it! Once it's dead, however, I recommend that you go with an ego kit. Ego's use the same threads as the 510, so you can still use 510 atomizers, cartomizers, etc. from your old e-cig.

eGo LR Cartomizer Kit

I recommend you get this, it's a great set up. Madvapes is very reputable.

As far as e-liquid goes, I personally love blue mist vaping. They have fair prices, and great e-liquid. When you get their eliquid make sure to select "80% PG / 20% VG" this juice is thinner and wicks a lot better. 100% VG is mostly used by people who are allergic to PG.


Other than that, rock what you got for the moment, not a bad device. Welcome to ECF

I googled it and saw. Did yours came with the metal charging case?
Anyhow, these are my answers.
1.Tried looking for manuals and stuff but couldn't find but anyway it looks like a rebranded 510 manual. So instructions would be simple. Screw atomiser onto battery, Fill juice in cartridge, drip 2 drops onto atomiser directly, Plug Cartridges on atomiser, Put lips onto cartridge and press button to vape by drawing and inhaling.
2. Yes. Ur juice will be filled into the cartridges before u plug into the atomiser. The cartridges are the ones in black with a white cap and in it is some poly-fibre fills. So changing juices will not be a problem on blank cartirdges HOWEVER, if u r going to use the same cartridges and atomiser, try washing them as the old juice and taste will tend to linger so u might not get the best out of the new juice.
3. Well like i said it seems to be 510 threaded so parts for it will not be difficult. If battery breaks just buy battery. If atomiser breaks just buy atomiser. IF both breaks.. well... u might wanna look at other model since the pricing of buying both can get u a new set lol. Anyway, it will not hurt to have spares especially when u r well into vaping.

Kudos to your GF for getting u started on a healthier alternative.
Do not be afraid to post further questions and the community will help as best as we can.
Good luck and Vape on!~

you have the most common thread for a ecig and the accessories for a 510 are almost endless. look around YouTube they have tons of info. that is how I figured mine out, there were not as many people doing reviews back then though

Congrats on getting started on PV's and making your way to ECF. I started out with the Joye 510 and have never looked back. Even if this may not be the best PV on the market it will be a good way to see if you actually enjoy vaping. The battery life isn't the greatest on them but they are a good start to see if this is going to work for you. I have upgraded to the eGo and the 510 threading that you have is, as others have said, very versatile. You have plenty of atomizer, tank, and cartomizer choices with that threading to find out what works for you. I still use 510 atomizers on my eGo.

Get some juice from a decent juice vendor...if you have prefilled cartridges the juice isn't a very good representation of the vaping experience.

Also get yourself a drip tip...they are really cheap and you can drip directly on the atomizer (usually 3 drops) and vape away for about 9 puffs before you have to redrip. This has been my chosen method of vaping for awhile.

Welcome shinimouri25. I'd say your GF was a "keeper". Very good idea on her part!

 

[GhosT81]

It's too bad your GF didn't do a little research 1st to save money but atleaat you got a good gift. Did anything else come with it. That site is way overpriced. $25 for an atty is outrageous.

This is a terrific gift from you girl friend. I just gifted an Ego kit for my brother and hoping he will use it
Visiting the mall, I purchased this from them too. My complaint is it does cost a fortune. I purchased this back in Sept. and mine was not a full kit but one battery, one atomizer and one charger. Mine was a 650mah Ego. When I saw the prices of Joye Ego kits in comparison on line, to put it nice, I was bit ticked off.

Although it was more expensive purchase than necessary, it did bring me to find the ECF Forum and get me going after 30 years of smoking. This was over priced yes, but it did work. Mine had a short life span so when you can it may be a good idea to get some back up ego batteries.

As previously said, You can use 510 atomizers and different e liquid. It is not exclusive to them…… although they won’t volunteer this information.

Check out the forum suppliers. I have found they do have the best prices, excellent products and the best of customer service. Look in the section for the positive review of vendors. E-liquid is something you have to find which one tastes best for you. I first ordered some that was not great for me. It's a learning curve.

The best part is the forum. Any questions you have there are always people happy to help. The forum definitely gave me tools to succeed.
Best of luck to you!

Shinimouri25-Click the link in my signature and you will see a vid for a tutorial. I use the eGo in the vid, but it is all the same. Your set up is a smaller battery and no cone and you will be able to use the atomizers on anything that has 510 threading. Filling and basics are all the same. Your battery will not last long and will have to be recharged more often.
Welcome to the ECF!

Congrats and WELCOME!!

Your GF did great. She spent a lot of money on you (lucky dog), definitely overpriced, but the basic ecig is a good starter. Work with it and try to get the hang of the equipment you have. When you have questions, post here and someone will be happy to help.

Congratulations on your new pv and your sart into the world of vaping. Glad you are here!.

 

[Scottinboca]

Welcome to ECF. I hope you enjoy your new pv.

 

[martinc]

Outrageous price or not,she made you a great gift that has no price!

She introduced you to vaping and,US!

Kiss her again!

Now off the analogs!

P.S.

That kit should have a special place in your heart,my 1st one does!

 

[shinimouri25]

Did yours came with the metal charging case?

Yep I really like it, do you think it would work with most 510 batteries?

Also get yourself a drip tip...they are really cheap and you can drip directly on the atomizer (usually 3 drops) and vape away for about 9 puffs before you have to redrip. This has been my chosen method of vaping for awhile.

only being able to do about 9 puffs seems like it would be kind of a hassle...

 

[lilac7779]

Welcome and congrats. Your GF did good and I hope you told her so.

 

[throatkick]

You received a marvelous gift! She really cares about you!

Be careful of the mega XL 510 batteries which will NOT fit in standard PCCs. Many vendors mention this, but some don't.

All the best!

 

[sobero4]

That's the best gift she could have given you.... I mean, think about it, she wants you to live along time because she can see herself being with you for quite a while. Welcome to the guild, but sorry I have no experience with the raptor. Keep on vaping and you will most certainly avoid numerous human pathological processes that will ultimately send you packing before your flight off this planet has been righteously booked. Good to have you on the forums. Peace and Love

good luck ....way to go gf at a new start without cigs

No not most. only those 510 slims. measure the length of ur battery then u will know which battery could fit into the PCC.
Here are two examples. Short one and Long one.

i am in no way affiliated to that site. Just couldn't think of where to get examples except there. lol.
Also, 9 puffs is not a hassle when u have a premium juice (a very very good and flavorful one. not in terms of price). U will want to try dripping as it brings out theflavor and th more. Dripping refers to the squeezing of a few (2-3) drops of juice directly onto a atomizer to vape. however u will require a driptip to protect ur lips from burns and also driptip have bigger holes in the center so u can drip without removing the tip. And again another example of driptips.
