Ok....this is my second post. Was doing good had about 5 prefilled cartos left when I ordered my supplies, but ended up having a major delay from V2 cigs. Not gonna dig on them though cuz they handled it well with lots of communication and good customer service. Even called me on the phone. Not to big a deal. Also ordered Vapor Bomb juice, and VaporKings 808 blank cartos. Well, I ran out of prefilled (V2) cartos before my stuff arrived and was hurting for nic. My hubby bought me a disposable from the BP station down the street. All I can say about that thing is it was horrible! Lasted 5 hours and was 10 FREAKING DOLLARS! Anyway, fell of the vape wagon for a whole day.....so dissapointed, bought a pack of smokes :( I hadn't bought a pack in a month. Smoked almost a whole pack yesterday, and hated every drag. When I got up this morning my mouth felt horrible and I am coughing again for the first time in a month :( Lesson learned! Will order supplies way B4 I'm that low next time.

NOW! For the happy news..... my supplies came in the mail before I even poured my first cup off coffee. Got a new passthrough, my first. Blank cartos fit my 808's perfect. And I filled those cartos with my new juice! Vapor Bomb sent me a surprise sample of 50/50 Orange- yummy right off the bat! I got VB Dragon Fruit 50/50- heavenly! It is my new favorite vape. (I have been only using V2cigs prefilled cartos up until today.) Also got VB Kahlua w/cream & sweetener 50/50- ok, probably needs to steep a little will try again in a week. Same thing for my VB French Vanilla Cream 50/50- needs to steep I think. LOVE the 50PG/50VG blend. More vapor than I'm used to and easier on my throat. I'm not big on major TH :)

So happy!! Have a Happy New Year everyone!!!!

Hello! Thanks for sharing the experience you've had. It's exactly this type of post that helped me to figure out how to make the most of my first big order.

For me, I found a good deal on four complete ego-styles, several empty carts, a 5-pack of cartos as backup attys, and 60ml of 36mg juice to cut to my liking, all for a bit less than $100. I did gamble a bit on 30ml of flavored juice that I don't much like, but I bought 30ml of unflavored as backup, with separate flavor extract. I'll probably just mix the stuff I don't like weakly with something else.

Happy New Year!

I'm only about 20 miles away from VB so I always pick up my orders in person. They have some strange hours so if you're going to do that call ahead to make sure it's ok.

There's also Altsmoke down in New Philadelphia. They carry hardware and juice so if you're in desperate need of an atomizer or something, that's the place to go. They have a vape lounge now as well as a retail shop so you might want to stop in if you're down that way.

AltSmoke.com | Personal Vaporizers | Electronic Cigarette | Ecigs | Electronic Cigarettes| Electronic Cigarette| Cigarettes Electronic| Cigarette Electronic Cigarette| Best Electronic Cigarettes | Happy Holidays!

If you find yourself in a bind again you can always shoot me a PM and I'll do what I can to help you out.

Thanks so much! I called VB twice once for hours and the next day to ask if they carried any hardware. Unfortunately they do not :( But Good juice so far. Would love to visit Altsmoke. Maybe I can make the trip on my next day off. Thanks for the offer to contact if in a bind. Never wanna go back to analogs.

I just started vaping a month ago, and also started with V2Cigs. V2 gets trashed a lot, but that is because their prices are a bit high and the batteries are Gen 1 (unregulated and autos are not sealed). Apart from that, they are great! The customer service is definitely very good. They are definitely having trouble keeping up with demand, which tells you they are doing SOMETHING right.

I hope you aren't throwing away your empty used cartos, as you can refill those over and over until they die. Just be sure to use juices with similar flavors to the juice that it was pre-filled with, or at least flavors that won't clash.

Also, if your carto dies and still has lots of juice left in it, try the reverse Taryn spin to recover the juice, as demonstrated in this video...

jperk - I'm over by Silverdale, and there is a new small shop in the Silverdale Mall that has basic stuff (high prices), but I don't know of any thing else around here.
Do you?

Taryn Spin (reverse) also works if you have a good carto, but want to change juice. Best if new juice is similar, but I use a shoestring and really get that baby spinnin'! Almost totally clean and dry when I'm done. :laugh:

Thanks space! I have been using this method after you posted this video for me. I also found a guy that uses a modifided clothes hanger. Works like a dream!

No backup :(

If you are asking if I had a backup, the answer would be no. At that time I was a very new vaper and had not really learned that I needed to have a backup. It seems like it would be common sense, but if you have never really ordered things on the net on a regulas basis and are used to running to the store to get your nic fix, your used to the "convenience" of hoping in your car and running down the street. I wasn't used to ordering things it seems I might not need for a while and having them shipped to me and then they sit on a shelf for a few weeks.

Now I'm prepared :) Pleanty of supplies, and I love vaping and the toys. I have lots of different styles of cartos w/ different ohms. Attys, a big batt kit, lots o juice in lots of flavors, drip tips and so on. There is deff a learning curve, but when you get it it's so worth it! Now my old KR808's are my backups, and I saved a bunch of old cartos to refill if need be. ORDER lots of JUICE!!!!!!!
