The journey

[Monomer]

Charger has seem to quit working. Had to buy a pack today (and regret it)

I think I'm going to stick with the 510. Ordering some cartos and more juice from madvapes. And another charger.

The cheap kit was the way to start, I can't complain. Weak link if the atomizers and the charger that comes with it.

 

[Monomer]

Ripped the charger open. It's an ac -> USB charger. Not easy to break apart (broke the case in the process) but I've figured out what happened.

The Neg (black wire) that connects to the sleeve has broken, right at the solder joint. Going to break out the iron and fix it up.

Nothing against the kit/vendor. I understand that these are made in china, in huge quantity: and well I didn't pay much for it.

I'm going to get a 510 with a PCC. I'm glad the vaping has gone well for you, I think buying a pack does not negate all the analogs you did not smoke!

Welcome! You'll get a lot of feedback regarding juices, but I've been very happy with Madvapes. The Minthol (+ a few drops of various fruit flavors) have been my all day vape since I got started. The best part is, they're super cheap so you don't feel so bad if you get one you can't stand! Customer service is great as well. I'll venture out to some of the other highly regarded juice vendors at some point, but for now, Madvapes is doing the job.

 

[Monomer]

Placed the order at madvapes

got their PCC, a bunch of USA juice, and 10 boge cartos.


Kinda spent more then I wanted, at $60 (lots of juice...) but I hope this all lasts a long time.


oh, and the charge is officially ghetto rigged to work.

As a data point in your search for cloves, I just cracked open the Clove Cigarette flavor I ordered from Gourmet Vapor last week. Might not have steeped enough, but at the moment, it tastes like lemon clove. Interesting, but not the Djarum goodness I was hoping for.

 

[Monomer]

Got the order from madvapes.

Wish it woulda came sooner. Analogs officially taste disgusting, and I'm not a fan at all of the original ejuice I ordered. Boge cartos + waffle = amazing. The vapor, the taste. It's like a hookah: just as smooth and sweet. Best flavor I've smoked.

Only thing I'm missing is the headbuzz from the nicotine.

PCC with the 510 is a must, and I'm never going back to the 3 piece design. One of the carto's did come DOA, as it's missing the vent holes. Glad I ordered two 5 packs, should keep me vaping for a bit

Sounds like you're coming right along! Congratulations on fine-tuning what works for you. I love the BOGE cartos....and I just wanted to mention that they can be refilled MANY times. I can use a carto for over a week. Be sure that you keep it wet...at the first sign of vapor dropping off, or of a taste change, drip about 15-20 more drops into it. I fill mine with about 30 drops on the first fill, then another 15 or so drops after an hour or so. If you let them get burnt, you can't resurrect them....that taste will never go away and you just have to toss 'em. Just a heads up.

Edit: One more thing....I keep some "high" (24mg) nic around for when I really want to feel it....like sometimes for the first hour or so in the morning....then I vape the lower nic (18mg) the rest of the day. It's not the same "head rush" that you get from regular cigs, but it is a little more kick .... than the 18mg and sometimes I just feel like I need/want a little more.

I would suggest you upgrade your battery ASAP!! The 510 attys are great but the standard 510 batteries just don't cut it. Go get you an ego or Riva battery. It will work fine with your 510 attys and cartos and will give you a battery that will last all day. You will go mad trying to keep those 510 batteries charged all day.

The PCC I ordered only works with 510 batts.

I'm gonna keep this setup until it starts annoying me, then it's ego/riva time.

 

[Monomer]

Pulled the trigger on the go-go kit.

I really did not want to spend so much on it, but I'm saving so much on analogs, It'll be paid off in a couple weeks of use.


Ordered from N-Hailer, ordered 5 extra cartos with it and some juice. Really wised their juice was better priced, as it's high. I think I'll be set for awhile (I hope)


Can't wait for it to get here. My fried bought the same 510 kit I did, maybe I'll sell her my 510 stuff to recoup a bit.

 

[Monomer]

Had problems with the go-go kit.

Both batteries were DOA (one worked for a minute.) Charger isn't the issue. Sent the batteries back to Drew at Nhailer last week, and still have not heard back. Left a message today about it.

Debating on ordering an ego (nontank) kit from madvapes, as backup. Leaving for this trip this weekend, need SOMETHING as I can't smoke in the car, where I usually like to smoke.


Seems vaping is still years out from being perfect. I don't know if it's just my luck, or if this is the norm.

 

[Monomer]

Ordered more juice and a ego kit from madvapes. Sucks, as I was trying to save money for the trip.

 

[Monomer]

Both arrived today.

The Gogo is working out good now, besides a couple of dead cartos. Might sell the ego to a friend, as much as I want to compare. Might keep it as a backup for the trip.


Waffle from madvapes is still amazing.

 

[CBB]

Wow this is the first I have read this thread and following Monomer's "journey" has been very interesting. I would suggest you keep the eGo it would make a great backup and its 510 so you can try all the new toys with it.

 

[Monomer]

Back from vacation.

The Go-go didn't do to well, the button on one is touchy and a lot of the cartos do not work at all (a lot of wasted juice.) However, the ego works just perfect. I'm sticking with it.

I still cannot get a good taste out of the included atomizers, I'm glad I ordered more smoketech cartos for it. I'm just about out of them two, anyone have recommendations on a bigger make carto? I'm liking the fluximizers, but their still kinda new. Need something reliable/durable and long lasting. My day job is a machinist, and anything in my pockets gets beat up.

Noticed a bit of clouding on the window after 3000 miles, didn't seem to stick.


The 510 is now my friends, and he's looking at getting an ego kits aswell. I think the 510 is going to get passed around amoung friends to get them off analogs, sure looks like whats happening.

Wow kinda digging the blog type thread here its always fun seeing the whole process

That's what I was going for.

I hope it'll help someone in a similar situation.


Looking at the offering from madvapes (I've liked them for ordering everything sofar) and it looks like they have XL cartos and clearomizers. I think I'll order a pack of each and some juice (the top vape usa stuff is tasty) next order.
