I recently ordered a kr808d-1 Riva kit , but I have loads of Greensmoke cartomizers that I would like to use with it if I can. Do you know of any adapters that will work? Maybe the D1>D2 adapter from lecig?
They probably will … and that indeed is the adapter to use.
Hi- I am a social smoker, which I might smoke 1 cigarette a week or month. I am interested in purchasing E-cig but don’t know how well that will work if I am not using daily. Does the juice and atomizer stay good for weeks if not used?
Thanks,
Amy
For weeks, yes. For years or many months, not so much. Keep the atomizers moist with a couple drops of e-liquid and keep the bottles of e-liquid cool.
I just received a new ego-t type B and it doesn,t seem to be wicking at all. Should I send it back or is there a easy fix? I think it’s just burning primer judging by the taste and weak volume. Help please.
I am not a smoker. Been chewing and dippin for 34 years. Spilled spit cup on wifes new rug, well the cat did (damn cats, a dawg would have cleaned it up for me). Now have hole in roof where wife exited house. I have the prosmoke starter system but find I need more battery life and am blowing through the small carts. Could you please recommend a setup that I can purchase, and do you all want any cats?
Thanks,
Tim
Tim, I recommend any of three e-cig models for a new vaper:
– For the smallest, easiest-to-use e-cig, get the $45 VOLT (a KR808D-1) from Smokeless Image. [NOTE: At the moment the kit shown in that link is out of stock. The $20 kit plus an extra $13 battery and $9 five-pack of cartomizers would amount to the same thing (but without the USB wall adapter).]
– For increased battery life and flexibility (and low cost) in a slightly wider package, get the $36-37 Riva-510 (either of the “Carto Deluxe” kits) from Liberty-Flights.
– For something in between those two in width and in battery life, get my favorite: the $50 Elite 808 from CigEasy.
I still use all of those models with great satisfaction. And be sure to purchase some e-liquid to fill or refill the cartomizers.
As for your offer of cartridges: Thanks … but no thanks. Been there; done that.
Don,
Thanks for your reply and time. I ordered the Elite 808 on Friday night at 23:46 and had it Monday at 16:00. That would be from the west coast to the east coast in 40 hours. I can see why the Elite 808 is your favorite. This thing works great and I am a happy man.
Like my Dad always said dont be afraid to ask questions son, just make sure you ask someone who knows. You, my friend… Know Your Shit!!!!!!! You just shot to the top of my Christmas card list. Thanks for your advise and have a good day.
Tim
Thanks, Tim! You are very kind.
Are there any e-cigs that work with old-school sexy ladies cigarette holders? I want to try using one, but I’m worried the e-cig will be too heavy or will slip out too easily.
I don’t think an actual cigarette holder would work.
I had one specially made for me (by ~Zen of ECF and Vapers Forum) to use in this year’s VaperCon Halloween costume contest. Functionally, it is one very long drip tip.
But, for an off-the-shelf solution, the $20 Gooseneck from Totally Twisted Texas might do the trick.
Is there a phone number I can call if I have questions that aren’t answered in the FAQs?
We would prefer that you ask your questions here, KC … or email us at Don@VapingGuides.com or Eric@VapingGuides.com.
I am interested in selling e-cigarettes in the US but also in European Countries. I would like to know if there is a good guide or books for learning this business . Also if there are trade shows/conferences or expo on the electronic cigarettes Industry? Thanks
I don’t know of any books on the business end of e-cigarettes. We believe that Vaping Guides is a great way to learn about the world of e-cigs and I suggest that you immerse yourself in the information presented here as well as on ECF (e-Cigarette-Forum) before starting to sell them.
There are vaping conventions (two or three national ones each year plus many local ones). They are geared to the consumers, but sponsored and participated in by the suppliers (who show and sell their wares at the events). Thus far, the National Vapers Club has put together most of the national conventions, but the most recent (VaperCon 2011) was organized by an ad hoc committee of some of the leading figures in vaping.
