Using cartomizers with the GG

[Di]

It's definitely a vape that takes a bit getting used to.

But overall it's worth it for the convenience of the get up and go moment.

I can't see it replacing my main vape with attys, carts, and liquid even though I wish it would.

You can do it, di - nothing to it. Let us know how it works. I seem to be the only one that can't get the things to work.

PS - Ikenbunny is TOOOO cute.

Ok Guys, sooooooo ---
suz, you cant get em to work ----
well that doesn't bode well for me ha ha -----

and mamu, you say they are not as good as your regular
smoke with your attys and juice,
why is this so ----- please --

and yes, -- Ikenbunny is TOOOO cute -- isn't it ------

Mine work really well, but it's like I said in my review - the vapor hit is a bit on the dry side.

Not wet and luscious like my regular stuff.

You'll see when you try one.

Of course - it could be just me cuz I like wet and luscious

I guess I'm in that category. I got my original batteries (kit) from Eastmall along with the carts - both at the same time. No joy. Then I got batteries and carts from Mist Stix - still no joy. I ordered carts from Drew - nope. I aligned the screw looking thing on the top as someone suggested - nada.

I don't think it's the carts (I've dripped a couple of drops into the battery end). I either get no draw at all sucking really hard. Or it's really 'airy' and there's no vapor. And I nearly burned my lip trying one with the GG.

(wegster... I've read the burning cart thread.)

I may be getting confused on which carts you mean above on no draw or sucking really hard, but for the GreenCig carts, on a KR/VK battery, and *possibly* the GG adapter (confirmed on first 'two', not on GG), the GC carts aren't 'vented' themselves, so you go to 'snug,' then back off *slightly*. Too tight = can't suck through. Too loose = air.

Ahh, EDO... I can't do that right now. Drew has all my batteries. I told him to hang onto them until my next order so he wouldn't have the added expense of returning them to me. I know they're all (4) two holed batteries and I'm guessing they're the large ones.

There's not much I can do until I get them back from Drew. Would you mind if I PM'd you when that happens? I do appreciate your help.

EDIT: Drew sent me a GreenCig cart to try. It did produce a tiny bit more vapor but I still had the same problems basically.

Hi there,

I am a bit confused by your reply....what batteries are you using with the greencig carts....since Drew has all your KR808d batteries? Wegster answer is spot on if your using KR808d batteries. I am assuming you tried it with the GG and it didn;t work. I have been told that the Greencig carts don;t work too well with the GG....the draw is too hard. I don't have a GG yet...so can't help you there.

When you get the KR808d batteries back from Drew definitely pm me.

I don;t have GG yet but I have a feeling that you should open the carts up and make sure they are filled correctly before you start vaping (look at my other posts in this thread). At 3.7v I get a ton of vapor and a ton of throat hit and it is definitely not dry. I have seen IMeo's videos and I get that type of vapor with the KR808rd when I take 5-6 second drags.

The vapor only feels dry when the carts are half way filled to beign with....then there is vapor but the vapor is very dry.

Sorry for the confusion, EDO. I ordered cartomizers from Drew to try with the four batteries I already owned since I wasn't having any luck with them using the Eastmall cartomizers. He sent a complimentary GreenCig cart. The GreenCig cart worked a teeny bit better than the others - but not by much. After discussing the problem with Drew, he agreed to take a look at the batteries for me to see what the problem was, if any. He tested them for me and said they were working properly. (He did some minor adjustment to the top of the batteries to line them up properly but said it made little diference.) I don't know what kind of cartomizers he used. Some from his own stash, I'm guessing. So... either I got a bunch of dud cartomizers or it's 'operator error' (entirely possible).

When I get them back, I'll contact you. Thanks!

Cool....just make sure to inspect your carts before PMing me. I need to know if they are filled correctly. I have a feeling that they are either way underfilled and/or way overfilled....depending when and which supplier you got them from.

Okay I figured I would use this thread to let everyone know who likes those cartomizers from Vapor4Life. All I have to say is I got two flavors in today which I loved. I got the menthol and cappuchino. I used to use mint flavor for cartomizers but the minthol has that great flavor and throat hit like the mint so its definatly the same as the cartomizers. And the cappuchino is exactly the same. I got those for $12.95 for a 30ml bottle but you have to say you want the 30ml bottle of the juice in the comments section during checkout.
He only has 5 or 6 flavors of the cartomizer flavor but if you want to know which you have to go to the vapor4life thread.
I just want to let the GG peeps in on the best flavors and deals.....I hope Im not ticking anyone off by letting you guys in on the deals....

 

[smiley7]

grimmer, I agree. My 1st kr808d(vapor king) was ordered from vapor4life & I can tell you it is great. I've ordered another battery & cartomizers from a few other sites, they are just not as good. His work awesome. I'm still using the same 2 batts from my original order back in april. Also still using(refilling) most of my original carts. I also prefer to refill in the hole in the battery end.

 

[rejoice]

To me vapor4life carts are the very best. I love the mint flavor.
I bought some carts from another place and not happy at all.

 

[grimmer255]

I cant wait to get the GG-T to try those flavors...I bet that taste will be perfect...there good now with my 510 but i bet the GG-T will inhance the flavor 10 fold

well hes got carts back in and the same juice as those cartomizers...you just have to see what he has in....

 

[wegster]

Has anyone determined what the difference in 'cartomizer juice' vs regular e-juice is, if any besides the flavorings?

 

[grimmer255]

im telling you right now there is a difference.....the cartomizers juice is loaded with flavor...thats why I got the exact flavor of those cartomizers....and with my 510 its the exact taste of the V4L carts..

 

[grimmer255]

not to mention throat hit...i dont know why but its just that good

 

[wegster]

Heh, I'm not doubting there's a difference or not. I have 20 or so boxes of KR carts laying around. (And I prefer Greencig carts for obvious non burning reasons )

That is not the same as what *is* the difference, however

 

[grimmer255]

okay the flavor and throat hit are exact....tht juice is the same that is in the cartomizers...so with that there is no dif.....

 

[grimmer255]

the only dif is I get to use my 510 carts or any carts instead of VK carts

 

[wegster]

Lol, damnit, not what I meant

Just wondering if the flavorings come from elsewhere (vs Dekang/Boge), maybe it's more VG vs PG, etc..or just 'a mystery we will never know the answer to' (until FDA requires listing ingredients..)

Is the juice any thinner or thicker vs other liquids you've had?

 

[grimmer255]

It looks the same as any other juice. It Has the same thickness as TW juice...I do get more vapor than VK carts because of my 510...but most juice out there do not have listed ingredients...I know a couple of companies from UK lists them..plus TW and US made JC....other than that I dont know of any other who list them.
