Having trouble. Is great when I first put in a cartridge, lasts about same time as smoking only 5 cigs though. Tried to reload with drops and wouldn't make vapor. Change cartridge twice with same results.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I asked the same question in another thread she started about the same problem. It appears as though she's trying to put drops into a pre-filled cart....but we need to know if that's the case before we can help.
Googled it... the smokefree brand site is down, sounds like maybe one of the "fly by night" types. MrsPenn, if you can take some pics and post them to flickr or something, we can see what you've got...
Posted this in your other thread....
Sounds to me like your atomizer might be flooded. Take the atomizer off the battery, and remove the cartridge. Put the atomizer battery-end to your lips, and blow really hard into a paper towel, until no more fluid comes out. Put the whole thing back together, and try it again.
The way you describe the cart, sounds like it's fully saturated. If the e-cig still is not producing vapor, then either the atty is flooded (does it make a wet, gurgling sound when you draw on it?), or the atty is blown (dead).

I just checked out the site... looks a lot like the one I started with. Probably an exposed bridge atomizer. Blow it out and see if that helps. The battery isn't dead, is it? Make sure it's still got a charge.
Wow, $149 for a starter kit. DAY-um!!! Mine was like, $110... I got taken to the cleaners at first, too. Live and learn. Check out cignot or madvapes... shop around among suppliers. Oh, and if they've got you on the hook for a "refill" program, cancel it ASAP. Trust me.

smokefreeonline.com was my first e-cig too. i got it at the mall kiosk. their attys were $55 back then no lie. anyway i was thinking you may have gotten juice in your battery. its an auto right? you can try sucking or blowing on the battery where that air switch is.
Similar, nearly identical to the super mini I use and love. Yes it's an auto and, when you accidentally flood them, often juice gets into the battery, cauisng odd ball problems, it seems to work but not heating the atty being the most common.
You can remove the atty and suck on the battery ONLY to try and get it out, let the battery drain on a towel overnight (atty end down) or remove the LED cap on the other end and blow through it until you need to recharge it - it takes a while but that has never failed me to fix the juicy battery trouble.
Nect time, don't add so much juice - the prefilled should give you 40-50 hit, then add 3 drops at most, or mod the cart so you can safely add more.
