I'll be getting some soon, just not for a month maybe. Think it will last until then?

In the meantime, should I keep it standing with the gravity pushing the juice in the cart down to the atty?

That's what I do. My Joye eGo makes this easy, with its wide flat battery top.

Yeah, you'll be fine for a month. I wouldn't keep them cart-side up. Some people swear by keeping them battery-side up on a towel so the atty can drain every night. Personally I've never found that necessary unless I have just cleaned it. The atty will stay moist without flooding (or draining) laying on its side, and is ready to go the next day.

EDIT: I was think about how cart-side up might flood the atty, but now that I think about it, I leave my eGo that way all the time. So that's not a problem either. Basically, you don't need to do anything special with it. Don't obsess over it. ;)

"Mailman stalkers".... I find that very funny as that is what I usually am when it comes to my ebay orders regarding R.C. car parts (avid Kyosho Mini-Z enthusiast...)
I guess I am fortunate in the fact that I live in the Dallas metro area and have a fairly large area to shop around to find my smoke (vape, whatever ya'll call it) supplies...
I am currently using a "Super E-Cigarette" I picked up for ten bucks in Mesquite TX, came with two carts and USB charger. It works fairly well, though there are only regular/menthol flavor options and both taste fairly "poopie"..... I got in a bind yesterday though, and broke down and got the Xhale02 with atomizer at 7-11 trying to establish a local outlet for carts. I have to say that it is WEAK in taste/flavor/vapor, and it tends to shut down on me with my large drags on it. Even right off the charger I can't take a full hit-- it flashes and shuts off halfway through a drag. What a drag, you know? It also seems to get really hot when I take several smaller drags at a time trying to bypass this "shutdown" issue. The Xhale02 is more "normal cig" in size (the Super-E Cig is more like a Camel Wide) but the reduction in size is not worth it's drawbacks. The Super-E also get's approximately 300 hits per cart not 100 like the Xhale02. So, I guess the Xhale02 makes for a good "better than tobacco cigarette" reserve when I can't get carts for my Super-E, unless any of you have any suggestions on how to get fuller and more satisfying hits of the Xhale02... I've only been using electric cigs for just under a week. I'm planning on going "Blu" fairly soon!
