Two questions from a newbie

[ken]

Hi guys n Gals,

I have learned a lot from this forum ref vaping and am patiently waiting for my 510 starter pack from Cloud 9 so have a few questions to ask.

1/. I have read a lot of stuff about people who prefer to drip direct unto the atys and others who prefer to fill the carts.
If you drip say two drops of eliq unto an atty how long would it last,10 puffs, 20 puffs?
Is it more economical to do this or better to fill the carts?

2/.The other confusing thing for me is the battery lasting time from full charge. In the 510 I think someone said that the batery can last 2-3 hrs.
Does this mean hours in puffs like 10 puffs = 1 cig takes 50 seconds so battery should last for 30 cigs or does this mean that the battery starts and continues to discharge over say three hours whether you use it or not?

Sorry if the question sounds strange but 1. I like to research as much as possible before starting a new project and 2. I,m Irish so the questions might sound strange anyway.

Hi
Dripping will use more juice than filling the cart but in my experience you will get better flavour and vape
when smoking a cig you never really need the whole thing you smoke it coz it is there normally a few puffs is enough SO a few puffs per cig for the satisfaction it will last longer

you can get a pcc case a box that will charge you 510 battery up while on the move and out and about in your pocket

Just to add to James' post. If for instance you didn't use the e-cig for 2-3 hours, the batter's discharge would be negligible.

Thanks for a very fast response

I will have two extra batteries James so probably won't run out of power. Thanks for the info about dripping. Not confused now.

Chrissie, thats the answer I wanted to hear. I'm not a heavy smoker although I have been smoking as I said for 50 years I only smoke between 15 and 20 a day now so sounds like a battery fully charged should do me most of the day.

I used to smoke 40 per day but have cut down over the years as simply can't afford it.

Many thanks to you both.

You are so welcome Ken & glad my answer made sense It was the only way I could think to put it

[Scylla]

I warn you, though, Ken - if you come across a juice you love, you may find yourself vaping a helluva lot more than you smoked

But don't worry, you'll still feel better and you won't smell

I'm playing safe at the moment Scylla. Have only ordered menthol flavor from cloud 9 but want to try some of James juices next.

As you say a bit of extra vaping won't do me any harm and maybe the wife who is a non smoker will stop complaining about me smelling like an ashtray.

It will be good for her to as she has had to put up with me for 44 years.

Ken.

Your wife seems to have been lucky - I had to keep swapping my men in cos they were faulty

(It couldn't possibly have been me that was faulty )

LOL Scylla - I've had that 'faulty bloke syndrome' too!

Ken, I believe menthol is the best way to start, especially if you enjoyed menthol cigs - the transition is almost seamless!

Good luck

Me three then...

must be a lot of faulty men around

[knawes]

My first one was faulty. The second one is working alright.

[Chrissie]

ROFL Have also had my share of faulty men

Poor Ken must be feeling a bit outnumbered on this thread

Yes I think my wife was lucky but she might not agree

Or it may have been, better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.

Or another way of looking at it is that its the equivalent of 4.5 life sentences lol.

Anyway, carry on ladies, I'm enjoying the crack and love being outnumbered.

Ken.

[Chrissie]

Thanks Ken for grinning along with us

Now how did I miss this thread last night? PMSL! Sounds a bit similar to my story Scylla!

Nice one Ken, good job you've got a sense of humour xxx
