Ok I honestly don't write in forums but this one has been very helpful. So here is how it all starts. I've been trying to find an alternative to smoking for a while i've done my research through and through. Except on the E-cig. What can i say, I was a skeptic. I finally break down and buy Blu's (Mistake BTW). I get em and instantly i stopped smoking analog woot. Here's where this turns into DIY/Customizing. After 4 days I'm running low on carts and panic struck in. I wondered how on earth i could be killing carts so damn quick. So I pull them apart and wow Still half full of juice. Started removing the batting and dropping it in an oral syringe i had laying around from when my daughter was sick. and squeezed them into a pill bottle and tried to refill other carts to no luck. So i hit these forums. Now i'm dipping and dripping in the leftover and so happy i don't need to keep refilling those miniature carts.

So here's where this is going for me and i'll update just ordered some juice from E-Liquid and Electronic Cigarette Shop - Category Listings. 2 5 10 atts and carts from Wet Your Stick E-Liquid and i'll let you know how that goes.

Next week i'll be placing an order to chemicalstore.com for some PG and VG in 1qt sizes and searching for 100mg flavorless juice. The way i'm seeing this is with the money i'm saving i can start a new hobby for myself completely.

And a warm welcome to another OCD patient.

The best of luck. If you save enough, you can have your new hobby for FREE,

well, almost free,

well maybe not even close to free,

but it is a hobby.

Well It may wind up being free. So far i've already gotten a few of my friends interested in vaping, as well as my father in laws GF. They have no access to a computer so..... I may be refilling their carts and ordering their equipment for em can't lose there.

Sooooo many people around me don't use computers...they all smoke though.
Welcome!
I have the volcano version of the Blu, I think. Does it have the cartridges with the little plastic cup inside it for the juice? I just push that little piece up and refill it. I like girl flavors and don't vape tobacco flavors really - tho Cuban cigar brings back memories...
I also found out yesterday that LeCig.com 's Soft Atomizer Cartridges fit onto the volcano battery so you can do that too.

I meant to give you a tip that took me a while to realize...
On these automatic batteries (versus push button manual batteries) the juice can go down into the battery and ruin it.
I'm not totally sure if that's the case with L88b (that's the model # for volcano) but it definitely did that to my auto 510 battery. So if you drip, keep the battery up, cartridge down. In fact, it's been recommended to me not to drip onto the L88b but to dip the atomizer in the juice. But I just shove a paper clip up through the suck hole, pushing the cup up and fill then the little plastic cup and shove it back together). Wordy huh?

Yeah blu has those little tiny cups. Absolutely horrible i only seem to be able to get a goo 4-5 puffs off of em then they stop wicking. I think i'm done with blu and switching to a 510. I'll know in a few days once my atty gets here.

Dwellsouth

I like my manual mega 510s a lot but like the tiny ecig for hanging/typing. LoL
If your batteries are still alive and well, get a pack of soft cartomizers since they hold more juice. I think they're like 5 for $10. I haven't mastered how to fill them yet....

Tried mixing em this morning big fail. And by big fail i mean 24mg with a few drops of flavor almost made myself sick . LOL. So i went and bought glycerin from Walmart and started testing mixtures that way. Babam awsome vapor great taste and my carts last longer. Kinda let down that when you change the mix to work with pc w/nic the vapor goes way down( i was using water to make up the difference while testing) almost got the proportions down can't wait for my 510 atty tomorrow. Anyone got a good proportion for Mixing pg vg and flavor?
