Slow Night: Newbie Ask Me Something...

[BobTheKlown]

Like I said, I am a heavy, heavy vaper, my ecig hardly ever leaves my hand and I use a LR atty or LR carto, and at a higher voltage.... But for n00bs reading this: this was not a sudden jump, rather a slow progression as I found out what was right for me, most people who smoked as much or more then me, use less liquid at lower mg/ml ratio...

 

[deback]

And @ Deback, in all honesty i really am not sure how much I vape, so you certainly are not alone. i really have not wanted to count as I am a bit scared what the number may be, lol. I am 100% certain it is over 5. Other than that, I am not sure as i really have not wanted to know.

vaping is like analogs in that respect. if someone says they vape 5 a day, you pretty much know they vape at least 7.

I was a bit relieved when you posted what you vaped... as it made me think... Yippie...I am NOT completely insanse!!! LOL. Well, I hope... ha ha. i thought that maybe 3 or 4 was the norm and way over 5 ... I was beginning to wonder if i was the only one on the planet like that... ha.

Are you talking mLs or cartos?

 

[deback]

Wow, that is far more than Deback, i think he said like 3ml a day. I guess it somewhat depends on the device you use. You are a modder, so easier to use the juice, i presume. never had one, not sure, but seems logical. i know if i ever use the LR atomizer I have i can go though juice - in a hurry.

it also seems logical that you will use more juice with high volts with a mod as you vape more into the air....maybe not, but seems logical.

Anyhow, i need to get my behind to bed. Later Bob.

Deback said she vaped 6mL per day, not 3mL per day, which is about 12 cartos (vaped until the flavor decreases enough to know that the carto's almost empty).

 

[BobTheKlown]

mLs, I drip, since I go through as many or more cartos then you, I just put a drip tip on one, that way I can refill it easy w/ 5-6 drops, instead of 2-3 drops w/ attys... Although I still use my attys too....

Edit: I didn't realize you were asking TheBuss that question, please disregard if this is not applicable...

 

[deback]

That would point more toward a problem with the heat, since your 5V PT will produce more. You may want to play with your pg/vg levels a little too, some people are more sensitive to one or the other...

I think I've concluded that it's something in the vapor that's causing the gum pain, similar to when I used to eat a lot of Sweet Tarts (when the sugar caused a lot of gum pain, until I quit eating them). So, it's either the PG, the VG, the flavoring, or the nicotine. I can eliminate the nicotine, since I smoked for 42 years and never had gum pain (except for the time with Sweet Tarts).

Here is my final conclusion, at this time: The recent bottles I bought from FSUSA have mostly 60/40 pg/vg, which is more VG than I was getting in the bottles I bought during my first month of vaping (I usually ordered 100% PG). So I believe it's the VG (which supposedly has a sweet taste), since that really is the only thing that's changed with my vaping in the last week or so (other than the 5V PTs, which I haven't used in the last two days, in which the extra heat was causing a different, burning type pain in other areas of my mouth and throat). Therefore, I don't think my 58½ year-old gums can tolerate much sweetness.

So I'll probably order more juice from FSUSA (even though I currently have over 500mL of juice left in my FSUSA bottles) at 100% PG, so I can mix it with what I have on hand to decrease the VG in my final combined mixture of the four different flavors (RY4, caramel, apple, and nut mix). Will probably get all 18mg.

Thanks to all who helped me figure out the problem (if the VG turns out to be the problem -- or whatever I determine to be the problem in the future)!

I have one drip tip (bought it just to have it and to get free shipping at litecigusa when one of my orders was just under $75), tried it a little bit, but decided I probably won't use it much, because I like to drip about 16 drops into each empty carto (at the time I grab another carto) and let it sit overnight. I think the taste and everything is better when the juice has soaked and mixed in with the filler for several hours. Sorta like some foods taste better the next day type of thing, I guess.

I think too many threads are being moved to other locations in the last 2 days and making this section very dull.... May have to move on. I somewhat see the point as it is for newbie questions BUT at the same time you want people here to answer questions. Taking the fun out of the section is "far less than wise" in my estimation. That is my older/wiser way of saying i think it is completely stupid.

Agree I post a question go to look for it and its gone its been moved. I'm new I want to be able to find things easily. I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't even both asking anything.

Agree totally Doc was the best in this great movie!

DockHolliday runs to the rescue...... Tombstone, great movie. Val Kilmer should have got best actor of the decade for playing Doc, in my view.

Thanks for the info Still am curious about charging the new ego for the first time (8 hour recommendation). The last thing I want to do is ruin my new toy right off the bat. Any thoughts. Thanks.

Becky - Just did a quick search at Google for: eGo new charge time

and found this:

Do and don’t battery table

You should be able to find an answer in that thread. I was going to tell you to use the battery until it dies and then put it on the charger until the light turns green. That's what I did when I received my 2 eGo batteries, and they've been working fine so far.

The above battery table is good, too. According to the instructions, you should try to charge your battery before it's fully discharged, whenever possible.

 

[becky127]

You're all so helpful. Thank you so much.

 

[deback]

Here's another thread:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/jantyworld/76862-ego-initial-charge.html

I think the answer is no, you don't have to charge it for 8 hours when it's brand new.

Just Received My Ego And Have A Couple Of Questions - Vapor Talk E Cig Forum

 

[kgeiger002]

I recall your name. Not a great night to be asking me about KR808. I got mine tonight and I HATE it. I don't like the vapor. I don't like the taste. i don't like how long the carto's last. I guess that was a little coy. Let me be a little more clear: I HATE it!!!!! lol

The pre-filled I got were absolutely pitiful. I would not even ever pay $1.00 for 50 of them. With liquid, it is ok. Not good, or great, by any stretch. I cannot recommend this model until I try another as if this is what the KR808 is - it sucks.

My Safe Cig (which is likely a 4081) blows my generic KR808 out of the water. It isn't even comparable.

The manual 808 PT is damn good (especially with Turbo cartos from Vapornine.com). It's my go-to backup for my ego. I agree that the autos for it suck!

I hope so, because I should be receiving two of them today or tomorrow. Which reminds me, time to go see if the mail lady has been here.

Short answer: You can use it till it dies or charge it as often as you feel like, it's a li-ion batt, no memory effect. Li-ion batts should avoid full discharge, but there's an over-discharge protection circuit built into the eGo, so it never fully discharges anyway...
The manufacturers instructions are a throw-back to the days of ni-cad batts, idk why they don't change them....

Hope this answer helps...

Agree I post a question go to look for it and its gone its been moved. I'm new I want to be able to find things easily. I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't even both asking anything.

I think the idea (not saying I completely agree with it) is to move the thread to where more experienced users are more likely to see it, and help answer your question. I would say ask away, even if it gets moved here or there, somebody reading that forum will most likely answer, and you can always find it in 'my posts'... Just my 2 cents, fwiw....

Just received the two KR808D-1 Manual PTs from litecigusa.net, filled a new Premium carto, and noticed a big difference between this KR808D-1 PT and the 510 PTs and eGo batteries on the first vape. Without having to wait for the juice to mix into the carto for several hours (like I have to with the Boge 510 cartos), this Premium carto vapes smooth (and the way it should) right away. Lots more vapor (and a lot warmer) than the 510s and throat hits every time so far. It's a little harsh on my throat at the moment, but I've been vaping pretty constantly all night, the vapor is warmer than I'm used to, and the nicotine strength I'm vaping now (about 20mg) will be decreased in the future to around 15mg. I think I'm gonna really like these PTs! I already like them better than the 5V 510 PTs from Madvapes and the Volcano Magma PTs (both the old and new versions).

 

[Torrentula81]

I most sections are dead. There's new area, tips and tricks, and suppliers that's all I visit. Feels like I need an index to the front page of this forum. There's not eb enough traffic for all these categories where you could literally be waiting for a week to get a response. On the other hand if was really that bad, this forum wouldn't be a great place that it is. I do think someone is going to gung-ho on moving threads.

Update on the KR808D-1 passthrough and Premium cartomizers

2½ hours later - I love this passthrough and Premium cartomizers! It's the smoothest PV I've tried so far, with lots of vapor, flavor, and throat hits. I mentioned that it seemed harsh at first, but it didn't after a few minutes. The vapor is warm, but not hot. The manual button is better than any of the other PTs I've tried. The cable is about 3 inches shorter than the 5V 510 PT from Madvapes, and it's very flexible, unlike the Volcano Magma cables that are annoyingly stiff.

What's cool about this PT is the cost -- it was only $21.90 for two passthroughs at litecigusa.net (plus $2 shipping). I have the PT plugged into the 2amp AC to USB wall adapter from Madvapes, which is recommended over using a computer USB port or any wall adapters with less than 2 amps.

Now I need to find out how to determine when the Premium carto is almost empty. While vaping my first carto, after about an hour (non-stop vaping, of course), I suddenly got that burnt taste. So I refilled it, and it's been vaping fine ever since, but I didn't have any warning that the carto was almost empty, like I do with the Boge 510 cartos.

My next PT purchase will be the eGo passthrough, because I'd like to have a couple more backup eGo batteries, and having a combined battery and passthrough would be perfect. Just need to find where I can buy those...

TheBuss: Why don't you like your KR808D-1 PV? Is it because it has too much vapor and flavor, or is it because it draws so easy that you only have to inhale lightly to get all that vapor, flavor, and throat hits? I can't imagine that the battery is that much different from the passthrough, but maybe the Premium carto makes all this possible.

MistressNomad: I think I decided to buy these PTs because of your recommendation of the KR808D-1 battery and/or PT. I'll have to check your page again to see exactly what you use, because I can't remember if you're using this same PT or not. Thank you!

deback - here's a tip if you don't already know. Curl the cord at the base and get some electrical tape and tape it down. Doing that will restrict it from twisting (at the base) which dramatically improves lifespan. If you don't do that you run the risk of the inside wire breaking/shorting out.
