Ok been vapid for 2 weeks now no analogs!

Anyways, have been trying different juices and so far like VirginVapors Kona Coffee and Vanilla Peach Swirl, JC Tennessee Cured (red oak). Have on order LeCig Vapriot red apple and Ikenvapes RY4 Gold.

My next quest is to find affordable cartomizers compatible with pigcig. I currently am using LeCig's mega carts and I like them so far but at $10 a pop, can get pricey.

I found Goodprophets 808 cartos (5 pack) for 4.99 and 3.99 for 10 or more orders. http://www.shop.goodprophets.com/pro...&categoryId=34.

They also have Kanger horizontal coils for 4.99 http://www.shop.goodprophets.com/pro...&categoryId=34

Question is, has anyone tried either? Which one is better?

Your thoughts and advice is appreciated.

Hey ti,

If you use this monthly disco codes you can get them cheaper than $10 We do this to be fair to our retailers out there. They can't afford to sell ecigs and not make resonable margins.

Also, these are the shorts, not megas. The capacity is .9ml

Thanks LeCig! Yes the discount code surely helps. Your products and service are excellent and that is why I have a PigCig.

As a newbie to vaping I have yet a lot to learn. Most of the ejuice I use are 100% VG and been experiencing that after 2-3 days of use and refill the mega's seem to mute the flavor. I am not sure if its because of the juice or the carto or both.

So I am not sure if these cheaper carto's will be cost effective or not. BTW, I also ordered CE2's from your site and I'll see if those perform better/longer.

I believe you should be able to use a 808 to 510 adapter on the pigcig. That would give you a wider range of options with 510 cartos to save money.

Yes, they are very cheap. I believe Mike at Lecig sells them and has free shipping. He has both D1 and D2 depending on which one the pigcig takes. I'm not familiar with the pigcig but whichever cartos you order from him, D1 or D2, that would be the adapter you would get.

Got my CE2's today, thanks to LeCig (Mike) for fast free shipping!

Loaded it up with apple vapriot and dang, this is good. Nice light flavor with good vapor!

I love it!!! I did notice that the CE2 kinda gets hot closer to the mouthpiece, is that normal or am I drawing too hard?

Hey. Glad you love it. Did you get an adapter too? I haven't tried the CE2s... don't care for them but my cartos have always gotten hot but I tend to hypervape. I also like them hot like that. It should be fine but it it begins tasting funny or starts flaming, then you may want to stop I think your device has an auto shut off features so I don't think you will burn it up but do stop vaping it if you get a burnt taste.

Hehehehe, flavor and vapor of the apple is good! TH is just right for me. I gotta slow down on the draw since the coil is closer to the mouthpiece!

Oh just remembered I can use the drip tip I got earlier!

Woo Hoo, I think I might stick to these CE2's. I just wished it was easier to refill.

T-bob,This is just me but I pull all plugs/gaskets on the CE2s and fill straight from the juice bottle. Then I put the top"mouthpiece" in and push it down to the ceramic cup. There should be room left to put in a drip tip. From then on you can just pull the drip tip and the mouthpiece plug(a bent paper clip works) and fill from the bottle,no syringe needed. When vaping if you get a wicking problem(dry or burnt taste) just tip the carto upside down for a second and it will rewet the wick at the coil and good vaping may resume. You can hold it inverted for 10 secs. without any leaking.
CE2s have the best taste of all cartos for me.

I did exactly the same thing, Bikes! Cept I just filled it with a dripper bottle pointed away from the cup on right on the tube and let the juice run down the inside of the tube. Couple drops directly on the coil, pop the drip tip back on and away we go! Nothing to fiddle with, no syringes, no gaskets, no headaches.

Oh cool, so take out the two inner rings (one with needle holes and the flat one) drip to the side till full. Replace the outer "mouthpiece" and push all the way in to the cup and then put the drip tip.

woo hoo, gonna do this tomorrow when liquid runs low! thank you guys all of you are awesome!

Nah, just leave the two silicone pieces out. Once you're done filling the tank you can just put your drip tip mouthpiece on and push it down so it's just a hair above the cup (where the coil is located) and vape away.

Make sure you only fill the tank to the bottom of the cup. Any further and you'll flood the coil and you'll have leakage issues out of the bottom side.

You don't want to drip a lot of liquid in the center of the cup, cuz it'll run down your air-intake passage to the bottom of the clearomizer and will exit out of the bottom of your clearo connector. And you'll have juice all over your hands when you start vaping.....messy, messy!

Oh btw, won't it leak if I carry the pigcig in my pocket or in the case?

Yeah it might, don't really know though. I'd never tipped one upside down to find out.

But if you're going to travel with it, then you should reinsert the silicone cup gasket (that has the two notches for lining up the wick) and then insert your drip-tip.

I always vaped without the gasket and never had any leakage problems, even when laying on its side. The wick around the cup seemed to prevent any leaks out of the top.....so it worked good for me, but I didn't "travel" with it either.

Ti, that's why I put the plug back in before the driptip,it reduces flooding and leakage somewhat. Any space above the coil cup and below the driptip also allows condensation from the vapor to become liquid and backflow down the air tube that the cup sits on.
BTW if you get gurgling when you puff on it it is liquid in the airtube.remove the carto and blow the drip tip and the juice will come out the connector,put the carto back on the batt and you should be good to go.
I've gotten wet pockets by carrying the PV around in my pocket if I didn't put that extra plug in the CE2s

Yeah, those CE2s can be a PITA to fill. So glad everything works as you like it. Pick up one of those adapters sometime with an order and you will have more versatility with stuff you can use on it.

Yeah, I love the clears, but have switched to using all "smoky" ones, as the clears all cracked eventually, and the smoky ones have not.

I have one of the smoky ones that is real close to 4months old. I've dry burned it about 7-8 times. It has become a matter of wills at this point. I'd send it to Steam if I thought he'd give it a decent funeral after he blew it up.
