The way I see their return policy is this: AFTER A FEW GOOD HITS, YOU WILL NOT WANT TO RETURN IT!

Trust me, this thing rocks! No fuss, no muss. Just screw on a cart and puff your brains out.


You got it RyGuy! LOL Steve needs to put this on every box!

Return Policy: After a few good hits, you will not want to return it!

Instructions: No fuss, no muss - screw on the cart and puff your brains out!

That just about sums it up! ;)

I have another question. I'm looking at two kits. One is The Ultimate Smoking Substitute for $69.50, and the other Ultimate Smoking Manual Kit for $69.50 as well. I'm kind of unclear what the differences are between the two. I know one comes with a case, and one is manual while the other is auto battery. And one says "5 CARTOMIZERSttery Charger". Is that a typo or is there something I'm not getting? Thanks!

The Ultimate Smoking Substitute for $69.50 is the same - one is Auto and one is Manual. And yes - that must be a typo. Mark must have been in a hurry lol. Should be 5 CARTOMIZERS Battery Charger (as listed what comes with it)

I think the main difference between the Ultimate Smoking Sub for $69 and the Ultimate Ultimatum for $89 is that the Ultimatum comes with the pcc case which can recharge your batteries in your purse up to 5 times, so you can just charge the case every few days and you can rotate your batteries on the go. I actually love mine! When I am out and about I carry the case with one battery charging and 2 cartomizers, and then I have the one I am smoking and I am set! If I was choosing, I would probably get the Mini Kit with PCC for 39.99 then buy an extra battery for $17, and extra cartomizers. The charging case is a "must have" for me, I rarely use the other chargers. Not sure if the Mini Kit with PCC is available in manual though, you would have to check with Steve. Of course you could always get one manual battery and one auto and see which you end up preferring.

Don't mind me, I am rambling now! Need to get some sleep. Just throwing ideas out there for you. Call or email Steve or Mark, they may have some suggestions on what would work best for you and are very helpful and friendly. Night night!

The only difference between these two kits that you mentioned that are both 69.50 is that "The Ultimate Smoking Substitute Kit" comes with auto batteries while "The Ultimate Smoking Manual Kit" comes with manual batteries.

I'm pretty sure they both come with:
2 Large batteries, 1 USB Battery Passthru, 1 Custom Carry case,
5 CARTOMIZERS, 1 USB battery charger, and 1 wall charger

Edit: Pretty much exactly what Jen said. Sorry, it's early.

Thanks for the info!

Can anyone who has both the manual and the auto batteries tell me which type they prefer?

On my 510 model, I had both the auto and the manual, and preferred the manual. On the VK, I only have the auto batteries, but the manual batteries are in the mail as we speak. So far, I have really liked the auto batteries on the VK, but cannot compare to manual on the VK until I get my order. If you want to wait until Monday, I will be able to give a full report! ;)

Anyone got their manuals for the VK yet?

Just thought I'd bump this up to see if anyone has the manual batteries and can tell me which ones they prefer. I have the manual ones with the 510.

If you like the manual batteries with the 510, I am guessing you will like the manual with the VK. I am loving the VK with autos but had to order the manual for comparison. Should have it tomorrow (Goodie! Christmas again!!!!!! YAY!!!!) Tuesday at the latest! Should have one order a day for 3 days running! :shock: Could you get one of each? Whatever you get, you will love it I'm sure!

Just curious what kind/strength of juice you're using with the 510? I've also found that the flavor and strength of the juice has a lot to do with throat hit no matter what PV you're using. I've had my Titan 510, which as far as I know is the same as the Joye 510, for a couple of weeks now and am getting very consistent and "almost makes you cough" kind of throat hits! Also, the way you take a drag, i.e. mouth draw vs. direct lung draw, can dramatically increase the throat hit...direct lung draw being the strongest.

I'm not ready to give up on the 510 yet (only been using it 2 days), but I've come to the conclusion that a STEADY, good throat hit is a "must have" for me. It's non-negotiable. So far, the 510 is not doing it for me. It's far better using the drip method then filling carts, but it's still not good enough. Maybe it's the atomizer? I dunno. Anyway, how good is the throat hit with the VK? And is it consistent? I'm new to the world of e-cigs, so I'm not familiar with what would be natural limitations vs. product faultiness, if that makes sense? I don't like the fact that I get decent throat hit for the first 3-5 hits, but then it's hit or miss after that unless I drip more or top off. Is that a common issue for all e-cigs, or is this an atomizer problem, or is it a common 510 problem?
I also read somewhere that adding a drop of grain alcohol to your juice will increase the throat hit. I haven't tried this yet, but it might be worth a shot- pun intended :D. Does anyone know if adding a drop of vodka works???

I do like the manual batteries, but I have nothing to compare it to, which is why I am unsure. I chose manual for the 510 because I was warned that there was such a learning curve for auto, and that they were set off by loud noises, etc., which would run them down fast.

carpe diem --I use either 12 or 24 mg nic for the 510. I haven't noticed much of a difference in throat hit between the two. But it's never consistent, which is why the 510 is being replaced. :)

With my 510, I could get good throat hits for the first few draws, after that nothing! I would have to drip or top off the cart which I was doing all the time. My VaporKing just blows me away! When I was trying it out for comparison purposes, I took 15 consecutive hits and each was as good as the first! I had to stop at 15 only because I was afraid I'd start flying lol!

Primer puff, then sloooooly draw and fill your mouth, then inhale! Oh yeah - there it is! I'm in love! :hubba:


Cartomizers are the present, best, vaping experience...bar none..taste, throat hit, longevity, ease, and way cool:D

Enjoy

Steve:cool:

I think I have read that also. I haven't found the need to jack up the VK though, the throat hit seems to be just right for me. Only time I got a throat hit on my 510 was when I dripped on the atty or topped off the cart.

Quick tip since I can't yet start my own threads. If your 510 gives you a throat hit when you drip but not so much when you place the cart onto it, try trimming off ~15% of the cart filler material lengthwise. I've found that stock 510 carts come a bit overfilled and this doesn't give the material enough room to "breathe" so to speak, with the result being that they can seem a bit congested. Once it's wicking like it should, the 510 delivers a monster hit.

Without a doubt, VK carts are MUCH more consistent with regards to throat hit and flavor. I don't find, however, that I am able to refill a cart as many times as some folks suggest without getting the burnt material that becomes apparent. So I refill once, maybe twice and toss em. Fresh cart and battery = bliss, lol! Steve should have called his product the FLAVOR KING, lol!

Not impressed with flavor and throat hit on the Greencig cartomizers at all. They don't taste nearly as good as a VK cart, even with same juice. Just produces a lot of cold weak vapor, IMO.

SMILIN STEVE, you sell a ton of great juices. Are you going to be selling blanks anytime soon???
