You have me convinced

[Taryn]

I've been trolling the ecig forums for over a month now and I'm ready to give Vapor4life a try! I just haven't had the money to invest in it although I know that it will pay for it's self once it gets me off analogs. I plan on starting simple with the PT mini kit and some refill juices as I'm at or near my computer for 99% of my day due to the business I'm building then if I'm loving it as much as I think I will going for the ultimate ultimatum very shortly. I'm also hoping to get my boyfriend hooked on the idea.

My question is this, what would you guys recommend for a pack a day Marb red smoker to start with? I've been looking at the tobacco flavors but honestly the idea of it tasting like fresh tobacco really isn't that appealing to me, and it seems to me that many people start with the tobacco flavors then very quickly go on to other flavors. Will vaping delicious flavors fulfill the urge to smoke in the same way? Perhaps even fulfill my sweet tooth! Will the PT and five carts with some refill juices last me a week until I can order again or should I also get extra carts?

Thanks to all you fine people who have me convinced that Vapor4life is the best fit for me.

I knew early on that I was going to prefer flavors other than tobacco. I was right. Chose flavors you think you will enjoy - the nicotine and vaper will handle the rest! For a week's use, If you refilled very carefully you could pull it off, however I would recommend against it. Most of us screw up a few carts before we get the method down and I would hate for you to run out just as you were getting going. In terms of strength most folks around here that were pack-pack and half a day smokers, find 24mg is the sweet spot. Some need more, some less. You may want to reach out to Steve or Mark and see if they will put together a snack pack of various flavors and strengths to get you started.

Good luck with this new adventure!

They are pretty convincing, arent they!! I am looking forward to the answer to your question as well. I get the impression that a pack a day smoker uses 2 cartomizers per day? I don't have my VK yet, not exactly sure. People seem to buy juice as well. Then you can refill the carts a few times before disposing. This helps with the cost.

Welcome to the V4L club! Flavors are so subjective. It's hard to recommend one's favorites for someone else. Here's a flavors thread that may help you decide. If I were you, and just coming off tobacco, I'd try some stronger flavors first. Chocolate, coffee, peach cobbler are ones I like so far. Haven't tried all the ones I'd like to yet.

The usage really depends on you. For the first few days I only used one cart. Now I'm up to about a cart and a half. Will probably be 2 carts soon. Which will be my max that I allow myself to vape.
A couple bottles should last you a week. Each cart I think holds .5ml or .8ml. Can't remember. At .5ml that is 10 refills off of one bottle. Which would be 5 days worth. So a couple bottles a few carts should last you. I stress SHOULD.

Welcome aboard. Steve is wonderful and the people here are the same! Good luck on ditching the cancer sticks!

Everyone is right - taste is very subjective. I really like the cappucinno but a co-worker who does not like coffee hates it. The grape tastes like grape soda to me (I really like it). My boyfriend enjoys the tobacco flavors - so far, the cuban cigar and the french pipe are his faves.

You get 5 carts of your choice with your order, if you can afford it, I would suggest you order a few more packets or at least one more packet and some juice for refilling to get you through. If you're like the rest of us, while you're vaping your first cartridge, you will be stalking the website for more stuff!

Welcome to the V4L family! I hope the VK helps you get off the analogs, if it at least helps you cut down - you win!

One more question! Is refilling the carts before they go empty a bad idea? I'd like to avoid frying my carts if possible.

Vape them until you get a slight "burnt marshmellow" taste and stop! You can just top off with liquid, or you can rinse and add new flavor if you wish. Welcome to the happy V4Lers fan club! lol

One flavour that I think is easy enough to recommend is pineapple. Assuming you like pineapple juice flavour you can't really go wrong with it. Also, as a smoker, I'm assuming you tried menthol smokes of someone's sometime, and decided you preferred regular smokes. Unless you were really unimpressed with that clean flavour of the menthol, and don't like mint gum, etc, I'd also recommend the mint flavour, that clean fresh taste seems to help pack a punch in the vape to me.
The 24mg should be fine as a starting point, just remember if you have that urge for a smoke, vape a little extra and it should bring the urge to an more easily ignorable level.

One of the most popular flavours is cappuccino so I ordered a pack of them in my first order, found out I didn't care for them too much - still vaped them, but wasn't real taken by them. 2 weeks later I refilled them as Steve had sent me a free 5m bottle of capp refill, and I'm starting to like them now (and yeha, I love my coffee) so I'm thinking that once your tastebuds recover a bit the flavours start tasting truer.
I would defiantly order 10 carts to get you started, at least, as you will probably want a lil extra if you're trying to kick the cravings, and there's always the chance of losing one (changing flavours in the street with a grate nearby and butterfingers is a bad idea ) or get a dud (which V4L would replace with your next order, I'm sure, but that's not immediate) and you'll also doubtless have friends/family who'll want to try it, etc.
And lastly, you really need to plan on 4 day delivery time, which means if you go through 2-3 carts a day, that's potentially 12 carts in 4 days, with no refills, and you don't want to have to place your next order the day after you get it before you really find your rhythm.

I've actually started doing this - If I'm not sure if a cart needs refilling or not, I'll pop it open, take a look, and add drops till it looks full. I had some issues burning out carts, and currently trying to nurse a few 'partly burned' carts along - I've got 4 of them, I'll take all 4 to work and rotate them around, then when I get home, top them all up, regardless. Makes for good refilling practice anyhows. First 2 times I tried I destroyed the carts - breaking the plastic end cap, after that i was dropping the orings, overly cautios on dripping the stuff in, etc. Now, only 2 weeks after I started I can refill a dozen carts in a half a dozen flavours in under 15 minutes, start to finish, and I'll probably get faster and easier yet

But refilling early shouldn't hurt at all. Just be careful not to overfill - not that this'll hurt anything so far as I know, but can be a waste of juice, if it drips out the bottom, or a drop or so ending up in your mouth, which isn't as tasty as you might think

Thanks for the warm welcome and the wonderful advice! I think I will order the mini kit along with an extra pack of carts with refill juices in the two flavors I'm going to try to start, pineapple and cowboy (just in case I do want the tobacco feel and I know my boyfriend will want to try it out) it seems a bit strange that you can order the carts in mg strength but the juices are low medium and high. I'll just make sure I write a good note with the order and I'm sure they will help me figure it out.

I want to order now but darn it I have to wait until Friday when I get paid!

Thanks again and I'm sure you will see me around alot.

 

[DaShiVa]

well the low med and high mg amounts are in a legend top left corner:
High=36mg
Medium=18mg
Low=8mg
None=0mg
and 20ml is different again

You'll like the pineapple Taryn. It's delicious! I'm down to 2 pineapple cartos. Good thing Steve threw in a 5ml pineapple refill bottle as a bonus with my last order. That's gonna come in handy in a few days.

 

[Taryn]

Placed my order today, now the wait, poor postman will be sick of seeing me greet him daily to see if my order has arrived yet!

Thanks again for all the help and advice, now I'm off the search the forums for the proper technique on actually drawing vapor on the PT.

 

[bornagainst]

Did you get the auto or manual battery with your kit? The draw is quite different, so if you need some tips, we're here for ya!

 

[Taryn]

I'm starting with just the mini kit with the usb PT, hopefully ordering a full kit when I fall in love with it!

 

[bornagainst]

Good stuff.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

That's exactly what I did. Tried it the day it arrived and ordered the Ultimate Ultimatum kit that night. Didn't take long.
