The perils of being a beginner...

[nicgnostic_777]

I am getting used to and agitated by vaping...maybe its just me but I am tired of trying things...if I want t try a new juice than I have to get another carto, if I don't like that juice than I have to still use it until the last drop so that I can justify paying for the shipping and handling that is $3-5 for something that is only 15-30ml And I am getting annoyed that instructions have gone out of style, what happened to good old fashioned instruction manuals that utilized words as well as images? Sort of railing off here, but maybe some of you feel the same way

P.S. It's times like these I wish I could still enjoy a Marlboro Menthol Light, but vaping has ruined my tastebuds and turned my lungs against that sweet deliciously toxic tabac Oh man (sigh) [I'm sort of joking and kind of not]

I learned everything I needed from YouTube. Look into rebuildable drip atomizers. much easier to test flavors IMO. I feel you on the whole marlboro menthol thing. After a while of vaping, the taste of a cigarette taste disgusting, but there are some times where I know you just crave analogs.

I had problems figuring out how to fill the clearomizer but a quick u tube cleared that up good luck

Find a local shop to sample at. I've spent more than an hour just trying juices on multiple occasions. I make sure to get a little bottle of something just to support the local B&M, even if I turn around and spend ten times that amount online for the ones I liked.

I have a burnt, dry carto to put on when I have those cravings - fixes me right up -

Get a good bridgeless atomizer and drip You can change juices at will, and there is a bit of a learning curve, but it's a great way to enjoy multiple flavors when you're starting out

PS Cigs make you smell like ....

If you have questions on where to get some good atty's, don't f-around and head to avid vapor.

Hope this helps

Truthfully you have to want to stop... The effort required is only as important as you deem the actual outcome.

First, don't get a rebuildable atomizer to test eliquid. You don't want to hassle with that yet. Just get a regular atomizer like this one (I'm assuming you are using a 510 threaded PV but you can also get 808, etc):

510 Smok Tech 2.5 Atomizer

Then just drip 3 - 4 drops on the coil to test the taste of your eliquid. When switching flavors, swish some PGA (pure grain alcohol) or unflavored high proof vodka in the atty to clean out the previous eliquid.

And I would find a supplier who provides 3ml - 5ml bottles of eliquid with $3 shipping and try 3, 4, 8, 10, etc different flavors that you think you might like before buying a large bottle. Here is one example of 5ml bottles for $2.39 each:

THis was my first tasting atomizer and am super happy with it I just wash it out with hot water and so far so good.510 Atomizer (Bridgeless) Look for products with replaceable or rebuildable heads, watch videos on you tube.

Or just take the filler out of a carto and use that for sampling.

Seriously dude, you will not be the only one who has piles and stacks of unused juice that you don't like. I would tell you how many I have, but that would just be embarrassing. (and I can't count that high)

Bridgless attys are great! 2 drops, a drip tip and 10 minutes will push you through a flavor easy

Is it as easy as that? Just pull the filler out and drip into the empty carto?

Hmm... those are 808 cartos and I have 510 cartos. Guess it won't hurt to tear an old one apart and see if I can make it work.

I'm pretty good at breaking stuff, why should I stop now?

Thanks for the video!

I wish there was a local shop to sample at around here. I live in a small town, and have to drive @ 50 miles to get anywhere. It sucks. Glad I found this place.
I read through some posts that recommend vaping vendors. That should come in handy. I get annoyed as well..but am happy that that horrible smell of smoke is gone from the house, and my clothes.

seriously smoking was easier....
buy pack
open pack
pull out cigarette
light cigarette

biggest choices were menthol/not...long or short, not a kazillion different delivery systems, vendors, forums, meets, cons/bashes/fests

this is more fun BUT i never spent this much time (read ANY) researching or shopping for smoking, i was just thrilled when i could find a 5 pack of bic lighters with mostly pink and black LOL

what you're going through is a necessary process we all went through at some point. with so many options out there, it's fair to try what you can in hopes of finding that sweet spot and fall in love with vaping, and a certain juice.

I agree with the atty suggestions- easy way to try flavors without commitment to dedicated delivery method.. and you'll probably find yourself doing it more often because it's awesome. there are plenty of vendors out there that offer "sample packs" or smaller bottles at smaller prices, with reasonable shipping. most places you can find atomizers too.

best of luck!

I think I'm going to try you're suggestions of getting some attys, I've never dripped before so I'll check a vid out, but the juice thing is that I get to reading these delicious descriptions of juices that are going to literally rock my world and make me wish I had bought a vat of the stuff that when it doesn't do that I'm even more disappointed you know and there really aren't many B&Ms by me there are only two and they are slightly lacking in supply and their prices are ridiculous, meaning a dollar per ml
