Recieved the VK Saturday...some questions

[IceCreMan]

Received my first ecig Saturday...the ultimate ultimatum manual VK from V4L. First thanks to Mark for answering my questions over the phone and to Steve for shipping so fast (ordered Thurs.) and throwing in some extras. And thanks to all on this site for guiding me in the right direction, I just found out ecigs existed last Wednesday.

Now my father-in-law wants the same kit so I'm ordering the whole thing again today with some new flavors for me.

Now on to my questions. I've been using the same Virginia 24 cart since Sat. afternoon and it's still seems to be going with lots of vapor. I didn't think they were supposed to last that long (I'm a pack a day smoker and kept up the pace with vapes instead of analogs). I'm not complaining but it seems odd that it still works after reading other posts. Do I use it until it completely dries out (it still produces lots of vapor)?

This morning I also tried the Hilton and another Virginia (both 24's) and I don't get anywhere near the vapor I get from the first cart. I've tried them on the passthrough and with batts...same results...almost no vape. Any ideas? I know the passthrough and batts work fine since the original cart is still going strong. Does the vapor become stronger as the fluid empties?

Thanks in advance for your help.

When the vapor drops off or starts to taste funny stop using it. If you are using the cart as you would a cigarette and using it as often as you smoked it does seem like a long time. Using 24mg are you hitting as much as cigarettes?

As far as your other question could it be that the other carts you have tried haven't been broken in yet? Sometimes they don't produce much vapor at first but picks when they are broken in.

Maybe I'm not hitting as much. Not sure. It's hard to guage against a cigarette. I just use it for what I think the length of a cigarette is and then cap it and put it away. I assume that if you don't cap the cart it will dry out. Is that correct?

Theres no harm in putting the plugs back on, but I don't...and haven't noticed anything.

Differing opinions though, so why not err on the side of caution.

 

[IceCreMan]

Good point. Guess I'll keep 'em on. At least I know there's no nasties in there from being in my pocket.

It could be lasting that long then. And putting the plug back on doesn't hurt. Like you said nastiness in the pocket.

But it will also help them from drying out. But I only put the cap back on when I'm sleeping.

Juice has a small water component usually I believe, and this can evaporate, but glycerin itself does not evaporate, and it's the core to the juice. I think you can have water free juice without issue, thus keeping carts capped to 'keep the moisture in' isn't necessary. Of course, it also can't hurt, and may help keep other airborne contaminants out. Another nice fact about glycerin is that it is a contact bacterial desiccant - ie. bad for bacteria. You won't get bacteria growing in it and it actually helps with periodontal disease (gingivitis (bad breath) )

some flavors just produce more Vapor and some more throat hit, it could be that you are experianceing that. I like the Mboros and the Camel carts and have heard really good things about french pipe ( if you like the tobacco flavors) MY camel cart 8 mg lasted me almost 2 whole days now and is only 8 mg not sure if it is still going or not ( my battery died LOL )

I wanted the mboro carts but they're still out. I just ordered Kant and mint in 18mg. Trying to find the right flavor for me.

You cannot be without battery, make sure you have it on way

BTW, the new Parliment is the closest to Cowbaoy as I have tasted, just a hint more tobacco tasteand they look fabulous with the deep blue color, as well.

Did you get the kool in yet? What is closest to this taste? Thanks

I saw that last night when I put in an order and wanted to order so bad but there were no choices. Years back I smoked Parliment and loved them. cost drove me away. Next time.

Did you just list them last night?? I was on your site yesterday ordering another ultimatum kit and more carts. Didn't see Parlament. Wish I did, I would have picked them up.
