Manual

BattleGuide - yes - if you get the right equipment and the right nicotine for you, and juices with satisfactory TH and aroma that soothes your soul - absolutely yes. There are some people on here who quit by accident - had no intention of quitting cigs and were just curious to try an ecig. ANd I smoked for decades and was a chicken - never even could bring myself to try to quit - I stopped smoking the day I got my kit. Not everyone has it that easy but most people can get totally off cigarettes by vaping.

That's a good kit but get manual batteries - less work and more consistent drags as well as usually more protected against death by juice leaking out of a carto. Manuals make it easier to drag, no warm-up drags needed, just better for most people. And get some samplers as well as some juice because if you refill cartos while still damp they can last for many days. I am on my 6th day refilling this one.

Try that WOW Tobacco Shop sampler is you smoke non-menthols. And there are two other tobacco samplers. And there are dozens of US juice mixers and hundreds of flavors you can vape. FreedomSmokeUSA along has close to 30 tobacco flavors. Backwoods Brew has really nice complex tobaccos. Their Casablanca was my first all-day vape. And after a while you'll be vaping all different kinds of flavors. WHen I say flavors - it is mostly aroma since the tongue can only sense sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami (MSG). Sometimes let some vapor waft out of your mouth so your nose can have some when you inhale.

re manuals...
press in the button then 1/2 to 1 second later
start an easy drag.... and a second or so before done your drag
let up the button
and finish dragging out the remaining vapor
then inhale

Im on day 2 of no analogs, spent the entire 3 days I was waiting for my starter kit stalking these threads :) haha I
t DEF takes some tinkering (figuring out what you like etc) even in 2 days Ive gotten frustrated a few times (having some leakage with my JOYE 510) but have invested some money so no turning back. I do still crave an analog (its only been 48hrs) but the ecig is helping ALOT! Im resisting the urge which Ive never had the strength to do before. Im hoping to slowly tapor down my nicotine level. The JOYE 510 is the only thing Ive tried but I seriously was amazed - it felt like and tasted like an analog!!

Ok, I ordered the VAPOR KING-ULTIMATE ULTIMATUM MANUAL KIT and the following juices Blackwoods Brew Smoke (hoping this one helps me in the transition from analog to vape), Blackwoods Green Apple and Blackwoods Blueberry. I really cannot thank you all enough for all the assistance. I cannot wait to get these orders and start my transition.

I just checked it out on the V4L site. Looks slick!

If you're gonna use the included USB passthrough alot, and you should to extend your battery life, you might want to consider getting an AC to USB adapter. I bought mine from MadVapes. The reason is that if a passthrough shorts out while plugged into a PC, it could cause some expensive damage. If it shorts out while plugged into a $10 adapter, well, that's not so bad.

Also, did you order any flavor to be added to the 5 included cartomizers? Is that the Blackwoods flavors you mentioned?

Yes, that is why I got the Blackwoods and good advice on the adapter. How do I know which adapter to get? Are they universal or do I need to be concerned with the DC output?

Welcome BattleGuide.
ECF is one of the most agreeable forum's around. Maybe because they (we) are all vapers - like previosly the saying about smokers - they have so much fun. *lol*
I trust that soon you will lead and advise the next bunch of newcoming vapers. Due late February, afair ..... ;)


Once you have your new hardware, come back here with any issues you might have. Someone will be able to give you solutions in short order.

One of us!

haha - I remeber it as "Einer von uns!" (pardon my French)

Get a 5 volt 2 amp AC to USB adapter. That way, if you decide to try a 5 volt passthrough, you'll have an adapter that can power it.

I honestly don't know why passthroughs are made for USB connections. They should be AC devices, in my opinion.

As to your cartos: You have 5 prefilled cartos coming with your kit. Have you ordered any juice to refill them or additional pre-filled cartos?

Hi BattleGuide. I just started vaping last week and have been a smoker for over 30 yrs. Wasn't getting an e-cig to quit smoking,just to get a nic fix in places that don't allow cigarettes. In short the e-cig I got put out so much vapor,and the nicotine content I ordered with the kit was high enough to totally satisfy the craving and the ritual of smoking. I was NOT planning on quitting cigarettes but haven't needed one for six days so far. Experiment with this stuff,atomizers,cartimizers,juices etc... You will love this vaping stuff.I'm vaping a juice called Wyatt Earp from Freedom Smoke USA right now. Got quite a few flavors coming this week.

Hi Attykin. I've been refilling disposable safe cig caromizers since it came six days ago.They are meant to be used once and work very well.Good vapor production.Easy two piece cig.Just a cartomizer(fluid cartridge and atomizer in one disposable unit) and rechargable battery.Screw them together and vape.Love it so far. To save money I have popped the plastic cap off the end of the cartomizer and refilled it different flavors.Works well a few times until the flavor starts to get nasty.
 
ok. ty. disposable safe cig cartomizers. but wood i have to fill those up to?
