Newbie saying Hi, ready to stop so need help :)

[Chrissie]

JJ. pull the cartridge off the atomiser & make sure it hasn't started to melt a fraction. Some of the 901 style cartridges are a different shape where they connect to the attie & need lining up with the shape of the bridge inside the attie - lol hope that makes sense

[Gordy]

can i have an R please Bob LMAO

no need to worry girls, nothing wrong with fist impressions

[Scylla]

Lol, Gordy

Bel, you've really done JJ proud - and done All-About proud too!

Thanks Chrissie, will have a look at that

Didnt have a very successful evening, went to the pub for tea and when my fella went out for a fag I had one too and then a couple when we got home *blushes*

Have to say though I had very few yesterday in comparison to what I would normally smoke!!

[Chrissie]

I still think you can call that a very successful day & no need to blush at all JJ

Just count the real cigs you don't smoke, rather than the ones you do

[justjj]

Thanks Chrissie - can you point me in the direction of somewhere that explains about VG & PG and mixes etc, I want to make sure I understand it all so when I reorder any juices I buy some that is going to work for me

Oops sorry JJ, don't know how I missed your post. Thanks for bumping Sandra

Basically, VG gives more vapour & PG gives you more of a throat hit. So a 50/50 mix would be a good one to go for to begin with.

However, if you are thinking of trying cartomisers, the thinner PG mixes soak in better. So a 70% PG 30% VG would be better for them.

Sandra, that pic Gordy posted made me grin as well

[justjj]

Thanks for that Chrissie, just didnt know what each ingredient represented

Am doing ok but unfortunately one of the batteries isn't working, it won't charge at all so having a bit of a faff charging the working battery in between vapes lol

[Chrissie]

Sorry JJ, VG is Vegetable Glycerine & PG is Propylene Glycol

Re the battery that wont charge, make sure that the end of the battery that screws into the charger hasn't got any juice on it by cleaning it with a tissue. I think it would be a very good idea though, if you get that pink Riva ordered

[justjj]

Thanks Chrissie, cleaned it just to make sure but sadly its still not working

Dont know if I am doing something wrong but tried a few different flavours and none of them taste any different, just dripped some menthol in expecting it to be quite different and it tastes the same as the previous flavour lol

I think I ought to have ordered some blue foam too, the foam in these carts falls to bits really easily

[Perpetua]

I'd agree with Chrissie, get that Riva ordered JJ . . . as for tasting your different flavours, it will take your taste buds some weeks if not months to recover after cigarette smoking.

If you're struggling with the filler provided there are alternatives to the blue foam as well, that might be a bit more accessible for you.

If you're a Crafter of any description, wadding/toy filler are fine to use.

Empty a tea bag out and use that, it will disintegrate quite quickly however.

If you've a Pet Shop/Hardware store near you, Aquarium Fluval makes a great foam substitute . . . juices do wick by far and away the best with a foam.

[justjj]

Thanks Perpetua

I am sat here racking my brains right now as I have some foamy stuff somewhere I just cant think where

Without risking that I sound like a broken record - Cartomisers are great especially for new vapers, less FAFF!
