what should i know about the E9?

[dysfoundation]

ok so i bought two E9 models from E-cig.com and the more i read the more confused i get on different methods and different faults there are with this model soo.. can anyone help me with EVERYTHING i need to know about this specific model and how do i daily maintnance it?

E9 is a model used a lot by mass marketers. I wish I had better news than that, but that is the reality. It is a 2 piece model (nothing wrong with that) with a battery + cartomizer.

Since you already own the model, learn how to fill your own cartomizers. It is simple and can be done for less than 25 cents per and taste FAR better with more vapor.

Condom Method to refill cartomizers:
1. Save the longest end cap that you pull off the cartomizer
2. Fill it 1/2 with liquid
3. Slowly slide it in, thread end first. It will force juice in it.
4. Pull out and wipe off clean.
5. Done.

Cartomizers will not last forever. However, while they lastyou can fill them for less than 25 cents by buying liquid yourself.

The best regarded sites that sell liquid are:

The E9 is an auto battery, meaning it has a hole in it to sense when you are puffing. make sure you don't get liquid in it as it could ruin the battery. Therefore, best to leave the carto sit a day or so before use after filling.

Hope that helps...

so i slide the polyprene in slowly? and thanks alot man i just got them and i've been researching them from before i got them but i wish i found the other models you listed first. i personally enjoy the E9 (fist dayso may change) and only problem ive encountered is a dead battery and dry carts so the condom method is the best way? also i read someone filled theres with blue material?

Never used the E9 but probably ok while it lasts. The biggest issue you will face is battery life and how long they last before they die. They aren't powerful enough to do what they are asked to do - long term. But that is the case with ALL mini ecigs. People do not understand that.

I would just keep it simple, but others mat not agree. Simply take the cartomizer you have and do the condom method to refill them. The blue foam stuff actually refers to cartridges - not cartomizers.

Most models are 3 piece: Battery + atomizer + cartridge

2 Piece are only battery + cartomizer

Cartomizer = atomizer and cartridge in one piece. Almost impossible to take apart and use again.

 

[DocWyatt]

You have cartridges or cartomizers? I thought all E9's had cartomizers... but I could be wrong, possibly.

Is it 2 pieces or 3?

 

[DocWyatt]

Let's keep this simple. What brand do you have? I will look...

ok just whatched a video on it and i think i got it, but what would be a good brand to move to, i usually go thru at max a half pack a day and this has stopped me from even wanting one so i was just wondering whats your preference on ecigs

 

[dysfoundation]

its a two piece E9 from e-cig.com

 

[DocWyatt]

What brand do you own?

EDIT: Hmmm that site jams people on price, hard. Don't feel alone, many people got jammed on their first ecig. Just the way it is.

 

[DocWyatt]

Looked at that site. You definitely have cartomizers. The blue foam stuff is for cartridges not cartomizers. Basically, they pull out the filler in a cartridge and replace it with blue foam. Nearly impossible to do with a carto.

i thought it was usual price lol.. and i guess its e-minicig..theres nno specific brand name

Considering that you smoke 1/2 pack, a mini will work fine for you. The vast majority of smokers smoke over 1 pack a day. Therefore, for them a mini is a horrible choice, in my view. But could work fine for you.

If you ever decide to buy something else, based on how little you smoke, I would buy a SmokeStik. They are a 4081. I know people may jump my ... for that on here, but you don't smoke much and the 4081 tastes good, in my view.

SS makes quality stuff, just not that cheap. But likely far less than you paid - and far better. If you ever do buy that, make sure you check discount codes for ECF members.

lol ill back you up if they try its justa suggestion, and yea im trying to catch myself before i get too bad with smoking.. and vaping definitaly helps! but what would be the usual suggestion for a pack a day smoker?

The problem is almost zero new users understand the model. They try and compare brands. The reality is that all ecigs are models first and foremost - with possible slight modifications. Almost all mass marketing sites will never say the model so you can't educate yourself and compare.

If you smoked 1 pack, or more a day, then you likely would need something like an EGO. Basically a much bigger fatter battery to last. It is built for performance - not to mimic a cig to sell.

I don't think you need that. The only caveat is that many people tend to vape far more than they smoked... because they like it...

 

[DocWyatt]

For instance, the standard 510 model is a 180 mah battery. The EGO (basically a 510 with a big battery) is 650 mah. The battery you have is likely 180 mah or less. Not sure. But odds are 99.99% the max is 180 mah. Possibly less.

so i looked it up and i guess its a spin of the kr808...idk for sure im not experienced enough with the e cig tech and builds to tell differences, but yea i can see the hook of vaping over smoking in affect

 

[dysfoundation]

it holds 1.4 and is equivalent to 16cigs..but yea no posting of power ratings..so i cant know for sure :/

 

[DocWyatt]

No chance an E9 is a KR808, lol. The KR808 is a 3.7V mini. I do not think the E9 is similar. I have never owned one, so possible i suppose, let me look at it again.
