|  So when he gets home I'll have it all charged up and ready to vape on! I am just so happy he agreed to give it a try at all!
Our friend whose wife started with me, absolutely REFUSES for some strange reason to even try it! He and my hubs have been pilot/skydiving buddies for MANY years so I'm hoping mine will push him right over the ornery edge!  Sort of like he's spotted him out of his plane so many times! LOL

| I'll definitely sign him up! I got points when I bought that second deluxe volcano kit too.
My husband had an almost heart attack on July 4th, 2008 and ended up getting stents put into both sides of his heart and we now spend a small fortune on cardio meds. You'da thunk we'da quit smoking, huh?! NOT!
He's impressed with my cardio changes which I think helped make his decision to vape easier. He's tried to quit many times in the distant past to no avail. He actually said with ecigs he thinks he can actually do it this time. I think he can too!
I'm not going to pressure him to quit smoking but I think if he gets the nicotine he craves, he will quit the tobacco cigs. | |

| Get him here, get him involved, trade facts, both of you learn.
and in addition to learning, teach. Compared to the next Newbie, you are now the expert (soon). One really good way to make this work it to participate in a forum like this one. Help others. Sort of locks in your commitment.
Best to the both of you, live long and prosper.

| Sorry i'm a newb to all of this, but i have no idea how to do either once my cig comes in. I ordered a sample kit from Johnson creek juice, so once i get both in what will i need to do to use the juice? | |

| LP, start with just re-filling empty carts. When you overfill them, so a little bubble of juice is on the top of the cart, some of that extra juice will drop onto the atty which is the basis of "dripping". In the 510, that will cause a little "bubbling" or "boiling" sound when the atty heats up. Yes, it does make for a little more vapor but I haven't tried it with an empty cart (no stuffing, just juice directly on atty). Somebody familiar with the Volcano model can correct anything I might have said that's wrong since I've only got 510 experience. I get enough vapor consistently that I don't see an advantage for me in dripping.

| DwellSouth, check out the info on the TW sale I put in the "pro-510 users only" thread. It would be a good time to get a couple of things if you're going to try the 510. You, too, Joanneg.

| I think one of the best ways to get any male interested in vaping is to use the "you get to mix different chemicals and stuff to make your own favorite flavors" or the "take a look at this e-cig mod some guy made out of a flashlight for $2.17" ruses. He'll get totally interested in either playing mad scientist with the DIY juice (all the little bottles, drippers, pippettes, syringes, and funnels, oh my) or freaky engineer with the mod-making (dismantling, cutting, soldering, wiring, and switches, oh my). He'll vape just to play with the toys and before you know it, he'll have a new hobby and be telling you how things work. Ain't that right, guys?

| Careful with dripping with an auto battery.
Had a failure and stole the connector for another project (I wonder which one) and the microphone was saturated with juice. This would be difficult to clean out through the suction hole in the auto battery. So I probably would not drip with the auto battery.
Also do not store with a wet atty with the atty up and battery down. Guess where the juice drains to.
Don't toss out your dead batteries. I know a use for them.

| So can i just fill the carts then? and how do i get my atty wet, then store it dry? or do i really need to do anything once i'm done smoking and replace it in the charging pack? | |

| Personally, I don't find dripping or dipping with Volcano's is needed. The carts do just fine on it. But, if you plan on refilling the cartridges that come with it, don't take off the plastic film seal on the inside cart. Try to work around it if you can. The carts don't work right without that seal.
Alternatively, you can by blank 306 carts that fit perfect from Rocky Mountain Vapor. They work great as is, and come with rubber plugs that keep the cartridges sealed off for when you store them in your pack.
I have been using my Volcano for about the past month. Already I have gotten tired of the cleaning of the atomizer, stuffing carts, filling, ect (switching to cartomizers soon). Also, I can't keep a brand new atomizer working good for more than 2 days without having to clean it. And after that, it still doesn't perform the same. However, for those two days it does perform *amazing*.
EDIT: Forgot to answer one question. You don't need to store it dry. Just keep it put together and put it back in the pack. At night, it might be best to leave it on a paper towel, mesh side down, on a paper towel to let all the gunk drain out.

| Mesh side down? i was not aware there was a mesh side lol? I've just heard so many different things about the L88b model e-cig (blu and Volcano are L88b if anyone needs to know). I have seen video's of people both filling the carts for the L88b and dripping on the atty.. But i dont want to screw up my new Volcano when it comes in. But others that i've talked to have had no problems filling or dripping with there L88b. So has anyone experienced problems doing either with this model? | |

| Yeah, if you look at a picture of the L88B atomizer, the pointed end is the mesh/wick side. Other end is obviously the battery side. As far as dripping, the L88B atomizer (or any atomizer with an exposed wick) is great for dipping. Dipping is different than dripping in that you dip the tip of the atomizer in a pool of liquid instead of putting drops on it. Me, if I do that, I just take my dropper bottle and put a few drops on something to make a puddle and dip it in that.

| I have not heard too many positives about the Blu model or L88B if you prefer. I don't really care for any of the 3pc models myself, I think they suck. Sooner or later you will get tired of all the hassles, the dead and dying atomizers, the shots of juice in the mouth, needing to clean up a mess each time you fill the carts which is a daily routine, the short life of the carts, the hunt for the perfect filler, the mods so you can enjoy vaping it, and all the other BS involved with it. Once you get to that point or if that doesn't appeal to you take a look at the 2pc cartomizers. Get yourself a KR808D-1 starter kit and get a 5 pk of GreenCig carts and compare the performance and the hassle and mess free life of vaping with the constant hassles of the 3pc models. The choice is clear, I don't understand those who cling to those PITA models to be honest, to each his own I guess. The only 3pc model I really liked was the m401 but it too requires either constant dripping or dipping if you do away with refilling the carts. Speaking of which a good thing to get if you do stay with the 3pc model is a contact lens case to put some juice in for dipping if you have a exposed or raised atomizer. | |

I've heard too many good things about cartomizer and am switching over to them. I'm just going to use a 510 battery with an adapter, though.

| Just got my KR808d (after dumping my E9 Red Dragon months ago) and love it!!!
The two piece tech is miles ahead of where it was just a few months ago.
Big hit, no muss or fuss (unless you refill your cartomizers) and a great, long lasting 280mah batt with a 10 sec. cutoff. I'm a big fan now.

The only thing wrong with the 808 is the carts are so small, I can suck one of those dry just sitting here going over this forum! Maybe the Cartomizer model is different, but I find the atomizer/cartridge 808B is just too damn small!

| That's why I use the GreenCig carts, they are much bigger, and much more advanced in their engineering. A KR cart looks like a roll of toilet paper on it's side with the atomizer sticking up through the roll. A GreenCig cart is a horse of different color altogether, I have pics up on another post here just take a look at those and you will see what I am talking about.
I still use 3 of the original 4 that came in my initial kit over a month ago, so don't buy into the fears that it cost more, because when you look at the big picture it evens out in the long run with the 3pc models because those atomizers constantly need replacing. These things when the cart finally won't fire up then you can toss it. I have found that often if I just put it to a higher voltage battery it will even renew it a bit.
Nhaler.com has 5pks GC carts in stock now, and will no longer carry the 10pk if I remember correctly, they also dropped shipping to $7 and lowered a lot of prices to a even better price than they were before. They also always send extra goodies with your order. I have yet to have a bad experience with them. | |
