The Vocal Vaper:Vapor4Life Cartos

HOW LONG DO CARTOMIZERS LAST?
I am probably asked this question more than any other...and it is the question that the answer frustrates both the person questioning, and the person answering...because there is NO straight answer!!

CARTOMIZERS
I use three types of cartomizers...The regular Cool Cart and Wow cartomizers, which I use on my King Diamond and Titan batteries as well as my eGo; the tanks and tank cartomizers on both styles of batteries; and the eGo Mega cartomizer which work on my eGo batts.  I prefer using the "low resistance" cartomizers, usually 1.5, in the tanks; and the eGo Mega carts are 1.5 as well.
Each and every carto has a "life span", this can be days, weeks or months, depending on how they are used, how often they are used, and the battery they are used on...
An automatic battery is much "easier" on a carto...a manual tends to shorten the life by a little, depending on how long the user holds down the button and how hot the carto gets.  I tend to swap out cartos when they get too hot...I don't really know if this lengethens the life span, but common sense tells me that if I let them get too hot, not only am I putting stress on the coils, but HEAT will "kill" nicotine (one of the reasons we store our liquids in a cool dry place, and not in the car, or in the hot garage!). The heat generated by a LR cart will shorten the life of the atty/carto too, in addition to reducing the amount of time your battery stays charged! But, I am willing to live with shorter battery times and shorter cart life in exchange for the nice, lush, juicy vapor I get when I use a LR cart!!  As you progress in your own Vaping adVenture, you will learn how your equipment reacts to your own special vaping style.  The beauty of vaping is that no two people have the same experience!

SYMPTOMS OF A DEAD CARTO
All of a sudden, perhaps...or over several minutes. You might notice that the vapor is no longer as lush and thick as it was...this is the first symptom that SOMETHING is wrong!
First, does your battery need to be charged? This is always my "first fix"; I swap out my battery!  I have a handful of batteries, and several chargers, so I always have a few waiting to be charged, several charging, and several in my "vape bag" that are ready to use.  So, when vapor production seems a little weak, I change to a fresh batt!

If you put a carto, tank or mega onto a fresh batt, and you still get "nothing"...next fix is to "adjust the post"! It's very easy and simple to do! See this YouTube video produced by Team KR808 and Mr SnowDragon:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HRx8eRZlXVg

If I'm STILL not getting a sizzle, you know that the cart is really DEAD!! If I still get a bit of sizzle...I pop off the top of the cart and look at the filling to see how dry the cart is...sometimes all it needs is a little juice added!  If it still looks pretty juicy, it needs to be cleaned...sometimes its just clogged with half burnt juice and the wick is covered with junk! So, you can either clean or toss it...I always choose to clean it!!

Mr Rick07 over at ECF suggested that you get a "DenTck easy brush" (Miss Lisa 66 recommended the "GUM Soft Picks", which is what I use) and clean out the hole in the middle of the carto.  She says "Rather than bristles, they have little rubber nubs; the brush part is wider at the bottom, come to a point and are very flexible. They have white handles and the rubberized part is green. They come with many in a package for under $4 with a little snap-shut case to hold them. Just one will last a long, long time....when a regular carto starts to taste a little funny or seem a little clogged, I take the tip of the brush, push it into the carto from both ends and work it up and down in there. It will clear the hole and pull out darkened juice that has built up. Then you can just wipe off the tip and reuse. Makes the cartos last longer and taste better."
This should help if you've been using a cartomizer for some time....

CLEANING
The last thing you can try is giving the carto a good cleaning!  Miss Gator and I both use a jewelry steam cleaner, which works very well, but if you don't have a steam cleaner handy...Watch THIS video producedby Team KR808 on YouTube!    http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aeBwmVejNkk

THE NEXT STEP 
If cleaning the cart doesn't work, you will need to replace the regular cool cart or WOW cart, Mega cart or cartomizer for the tank!  For assistance in choosing the right cartomizer, read THIS blog post written by Mr Morandir!      http://www.vapor4life.com/blog/replacement-cartos/

The Vocal Vaper-Juice Review:V4L Vanilla Mocha Frappe


VAPOR4LIFE--Vanilla Mocha Frappe

Anyone who has ever chatted about juice with me knows my favorite juice is Vapor4Life-Vanilla Mocha Frappe. I LOVE this juice, and just can't get enough of it!!

Although VMF isn't one of the USA flavors, it IS complex; you taste vanilla, warm and creamy, and mocha. Mocha is traditionally Sugar, coffee (or espresso), chocolate syrup (or cocoa) and cream (or milk)...VMF has just the right proportions of all of those ingredients!! Frappe usually indicates that it is a frozen concoction, so I'm not exactly sure how "frappe" applies to this juice.

It's interesting to me that some folks pronounce "frappe" as "frap" (like trap); some say it "frap-pay" and others say "fra-pah". My Webster indicates that it is "frap"...but say it however your regional accent indicates, because I enjoy the regionalisms, and the different accents are being lost every day due to the fast-paced and travel oriented world in which we live...but that is another blog rant, not this one. I will just leave THAT topic with this: my dear husband used to have a very lovely north Florida/south Georgia accent.and after spending 4 years in the US Air Force, he came home with very little accent at all...what a pity...when he has a martini or two, the accent comes out, and I fall for his "sweet talking" all over again!!

VMF juice is 80/20 PG/VG base, and I have been vaping this juice since February 7, 2012, the day I placed my first order with Vapor4Life.

Vapor-9
Throat hit-8+
Flavor-9

This seems to be a general all-around favorite of anyone who loves coffee flavored drinks...and honestly, I would have probably picked up that pack of analogs long ago, if it hadn't been for VMF...My first purchase from V4L contained the "coffee sampler" pack along with 2 different packs of menthol...I purchased the menthol samplers because, like every new vaper, I was looking for something "that tasted EXACTLY like my analog smokes"...well, THAT ideal is impossible...VAPOR tastes NOTHING like SMOKE, no matter how hard you try... Analogs are full of chemicals, additives and junk off of the floor...vapor is pure and clean steam/vapor...its like comparing apples to oranges!  Not ONE of the 10 flavors of menthol I tested tasted ANYthing like my analog, so I started in on the coffee flavors and all of a sudden I was SOLD on VAPING!!

I LOVED ALL of the coffee flavors...during the first few days of vaping, it was a toss up between espresso, cappuccino and VMF...at 24mg...now i shudder at the thought of such a heavily nic'd e-juice and when I order my cursor hovers over 18, then 12, then 18 again...I still can't bring myself to order VMF in the lower nic levels...perhaps next time!!

Well, that's all for this morning, my friends.  Leave a comment and tell me how you feel about VMF...do you like it? What flavors in VMF are most prominent to you? Is it one of your "go-to" juices?

Love to all my readers!..I hope you click on the "subscribe" button, you will be informed when I post some new information.  Also, feel free to ask questions in the comment section, even if it is "off topic"...if i don't know the answer, I know HOW to FIND the answer!!

Happy Vaping!!!

The Vocal Vaper-The Vapor 4 Life Forum

V4L Website and Inventory
 My new year’s resolution was to switch to e-cigs and find the perfect vendor. After looking at ten to fifteen e-cig retailers, all offering a generic “white ash-cap battery” and a limited selection of cartomizers, I finally found the Vapor4Life website.
I was thrilled to discover that in addition to the generic ash-caps, V4L offered a variety of style and color choices. I fell in love with the King Diamond and Stealth batteries and the largest selection of cartos, batteries and juices I’d ever seen!
.
Help!
The huge selection confused me (but that happens to me even under normal circumstances) and I needed help with my selections. I decided that I needed the beautiful Gold Camo Stealth. But which type – auto or manual? What is the difference between them? How do they work? Oh, decisions, decisions. Looking for a guide, I began clicking on one tab after another and then I clicked on the “Forum” tab.

“Welcome to the Forum"
I lurked around the V4L forum for a few days, virtually peeking through all the windows and key holes. There were many people with different experiences. I found a really intelligent fellow, with a very scary avatar discussing ohms and mAHs; a really nice lady who seemed to pass out links like they were Easter eggs; a lady who seemed to “like” every comment or post that I liked; a woman who calls her pups “fur-babies”; a fellow with a wonderfully manicured set of fingernails who produces very informative and instructional videos; a lady who makes everyone laugh at her jokes; a lady from Oz, who is not named Dorothy; a fellow in love with his MOD; a very Adept young fellow, and one who Rantz; a couple whose work is restoring books; and a few who live near the Vapor4Life Smokeless Lounge. This large group of interesting folks was made up of people visiting for the first time and asking the same questions I had, along with happy, care-free folks kind and brave enough to say “Welcome to the Forum! I don’t know the answer your question, but someone who knows does will be signing in shortly. Could you stay online for a while?”
After a few days spent lurking, I felt I had to be a part of this group and I needed a hundred more answers to all the questions bouncing around in my head. So I put on my “big girl pants”, joined the forum and bravely posted my first question. I received almost a dozen replies; all sincerely welcoming me to the forum from some of the newest members all the way to one of the forum admins, and almost as many answers to my question, plus a link from the Link-Lady. It turned out that the forum was just as unique as the products that Vapor4Life offers.

My many questions are answered
Some of my questions were pretty easy: “How do you know when you’ve “burnt” a carto?”; and I thought that some of my questions were dumb: “What’s a PM?”; and some of the questions were “OT” (Off Topic). No one seemed to mind answering any of my questions or responding to some of my innate silliness!
I’ve been a member of the forum for a little over two months and have learned the answers to all of my initial questions. The more I learn, the more questions develop, and as a result of my questions I’ve met many new friends – people I really think of as family.

Come join the Vapor4Life forum family
I know it is a little frightening for some folks to hop into a forum or ask questions, but I hope that you will come join the Vapor4Life forum family. I know you will receive the same warm welcome that I did. Ask questions, share your accomplishments, enter a new contest, find out first about new products and inventory. You will meet some of the finest folks that have gathered with one thing in common: We all vape, and we all love the Vapor4Life products! Come join the welcoming forum of fun and information!

The Vocal Vaper-Lets Talk Juice:Part 1

I have been vaping now for three and a half months and I sure have learned a LOT of things...about stick batts, and eGo products and juices...I just recently discovered some new juices.

VAPOR 4 LIFE
I've tried about 35-40 juices from V4L; the menthol flavors: Menthol, Parlament, Kant, Kamel, Nuport and several others...the coffee flavors: Espresso, Cappuccino, Vanilla Mocha Frappe, Caramel Mocha Frappe, Coffee and Cafe Mocha...a few fruits and dessert juices: Peach Cobbler, Dark Chocolate Raspberry, Peach, Pineapple, Sour Cherry, Sour Apple, Pina Colada, Butterscotch, Pecan Pie and Vanilla...and the USA juices: BlackJack, Bandit Berry, Outlaw Apple, Beach Bum, Java Junction, Col. Caramel, Java Mint and just recently, Jammin

I wont bore you with a review of all the V4L flavors...some are very good, and are my favorites: Java Junction, Peach Cobbler, Vanilla Mocha Frappe, Jammin and Beach Bum....but some were just plain BAD, and no amount of "fixing" with vanilla or other flavoring will save them...Pecan Pie and Sour Apple come to mind...I shudder just thinking about those two...

I guess that after almost four months of vaping the same flavors every day, they all start tasting alike...don't misunderstand me...I really "love" Vapor 4 Life...actually, I LOVE their Customer Service, and I love their Forum, but that is a different blog post, so I wont go off topic right now.  And, they ALWAYS have SOMETHING on sale...(use SMILIN10 for a 10% discount, or go to vapor4life.com to look for specials and visit the forum)

Before I start with the different vendors and juices, let me explain that I purchase ALL of the juices myself, no supplier gives me samples, I am not paid in any way. For my a "Taste Test", I first fill an empty V4L Cool Cart with the juice, and taste test it using a V4L King Diamond XL, if it is satisfactory, I fill an Ego Mega Cart, and taste test using my 900mah batt.  I purchased ONLY sample sizes, I will note the size of the sample and the nic level. (V4L only offers "sample" sizes of their USA juices: 7ml sells for 6.50; 30ml sells for $12.50-14.95)

TASTY VAPOR
I purchased 5 bottles of Tasty Vapor juices.  They currently offer only 18 flavors in 12mg and 24mg 10ml bottles for $6.75.  I purchased the following: in 12mg nic.

Tasty Finger: Tastes JUST LIKE a ButterFinger candy bar!! Yum-yum!!  But not an all day vape.
Butter Rum: Very Good!! Tastes just like you would think Buttered Rum would taste like...
Ultimate Vanilla: WOW..this is a great, sweet vanilla, good for vaping or mixing. satisfies a sweet tooth!
Cafe Macchiato: Very good...a little too much Chocolate for me, but excellent coffee flavor.
Tabacco Natural: This isn't bad...almost a "cigar" finish, and a bit sweet. I haven't quite made up my mind.

REMEMBER: TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE!!

Overall, I was VERY IMPRESSED with Tasty Vapor.  http://www.tastyvapor.us  Their juices were just as advertised!  Their 1oz bottles sell for $15.30. For those who might want to dabble in a bit of mixing, or saving a bit of cash, they offer "doublers"...a 0 nic flavored pre-mix which you can mix with a flavored NICOTINE juice.  For instance, you might purchase a one ounce 48mg liquid ($15.30) with a 4 ounce 0 nic doubler ($16.50) and mix them together...then you would have 5oz of approximately 12mg juice for $31.80.  That is quite a savings!!  With a calculator and a little mixing, you can make the juice to your own specs and find that elusive "sweet spot"!!

They do not offer coupons. Their website has a good amount of information about their products.
 
QUOTE: All of the pre-mixes, I do myself, in small batches. I run a small operation and want to make sure that a considerable amount of care goes into not only dealing with my client base, but so that the products I sell, I've taken some time and care in preparing them, and sending them off.

NEXT POST WILL COVER "PINK SPOT VAPOR"  Stay Tuned!!!

Happy Vaping...see you soon!!!

The vocal Vaper-Let's Talk Cartos

The Vocal Vaper-Tips & Organization

Tips for the day....

Cleaning
Keeping your battery post, threads and all of your connections clean is vital to getting long life from your batteries!
I've acquired the habit of wiping the carto connection and battery posts every time I swap out carts or tanks...so I've been keeping a half-dozen or so q-tips drenched in alcohol in a snack Baggie...but, even double bagged, they sometimes dry out ...I discovered that my honey always gets those small 3-4 packs of q-tips from whatever hotel he has been staying, and there were a bunch in his shaving kit...so I filched a few  of them and put a pack of them in my "to-go" kit (more on that later...) the only thing WRONG with that idea is that the q-tips are DRY!!!
I remembered that very early in my vape adVentures, I purchased a 7ml sample of one of the USA juices...and after i had vaped the contents, I couldn't find a good use for that little bottle...now, as i searched for "the perfect little container", it occurred to me that I could fill that little bottle with alcohol!! and add it to the contents already in my "to-go" kit!! Haha...problem solved!!  So dby adding a pack of 4-5 q-thips in a travel pack and a little dripper bottle full of 7ml of alcohol to my travel kit, I'm ready to wipe down any drip as it happens!  I just touch the tip of the alcohol bottle to one of the q-tips, and viola! I dont have to worry about pouring alcohol into a little cup, or cap or anything...works like a charm!!
Organization
I've also tried several things to carry my XL or my ego with either the mega cart ON it or with a tank on it....I FINALLY found  something that was the right size!! When I leave the house, I take two egos, 4 or 5 mega carts, a couple of tanks and at least one XL battery with a couple of prefilled cartos....(I'm prepared for TEOTWAWKI!! The end of the world as we know it)...
I carry a very large handbag/tote bag when I leave the house...especially when going to the doc or other errands...my ipad, IPhone, medications, wallet brush/comb, make up kit, 4 pair of glasses (sun glasses, driving-at-night glasses, reading glasses and regular glasses), digital camera, keys, flashlight, inhaler, travel size baby powder, hand lotion, make up bag...etc..you know all the junk you carry....
Well I would also toss in whatever container I was using to hold my vape stuff...and nothing seemed to hold all the stuff I needed, so I had two have two bags: an ego bag and a stick batt bag...a few weeks ago, when I was shopping for shoes over at design shoe warehouse, I went over to the handbag section, searching for a small handbag that wasn't going to compete with my dress and shoes...I didnt want any thing with beads or sequins...just something PLAIN, and in the right color...as it happened...DSW was having a sale on some small handbags...they were VERY much like eyeglass classes but on STEROIDS!! They measure about 8" long by 4.5 wide and about 3 " deep (just an estimate) and they were HARD, perhaps metal covered with faux leather, and close with a large clasp.....they were on sale for $15,,,and are just long enough to fit an ego with mega carto...and deep enough to carry everything ELSE I need, and it easily fits into my purse; it is distinctive enough in shape and size for me to reach into my handbag and be able to put my hand on it immediately...
It holds: two 6.0 tanks, four 3.6 tanks, two egos with mega cartos, two extra mega cartos, two stick batts, several extra cool carts, the 7ml bottle of alcohol and q-tips, a few of those GUM brushes for emergencies, a safety pin for lifting posts and "the List"....
The List
I am easily confused, you know...so...I have a sheet of paper (taken from my scrapbook supplies) that lists the color and flavor contents of each of my tanks and mega carts...the list also includes the date when each carto/tank was installed/filled and what resistance the carto is...THE LIST is VERY helpful!!
I often find myself wondering "what was the resistance of the magenta tank?  How long has it been in use?  Here is my list:

THE MASTER LIST
   3.5:                                          Mega:
 Lav-outlaw.3.16/1.5.          Gr-peach. 4.13
Blu-bljack.3.09/1.5              Pk-bchbum 4.13
Mag-berry.3.19/2.0            Bk-JJ 3.09
Lim-bchbum.3.19 /1,5.       Sv-VMF. 2.28
So, you see that the oldest Mega cartomizer is the Sv (silver) filled with Vanilla Mocha Frappe, started 2.28.2012..  The oldest Tank cartomizer is the 6.0 Blue one filled with Blackjack berry with a 1.5 carto on 3/9/2012...the latest fills we're the mega cartos: Green with peach cobbler and pink with beach bum on 4/13/2012...

The list sure helps me...I know when each carto was put into use, and what's in it!!  It saves me a LOT of confusuion, and I keep the list in the top of my little evening bag that I toss into my purse!!

Ok...end of "tips for the day!!

The Vocal Vaper:My First E-Cig

My First E-Cigs
On January 9th of this year, my son visited me for a coffee and chat. As we were talking, he handed me a disposable e-cigarette that he had purchased at Walgreens and said "Mom, I'd really like you to try this...because I want you to be able to play with your grandchild." Grandchild? I don't have any grandchildren. Then it dawned on me that he was telling me I was going to become a gramma. Oh, the excitement!
It was THAT news started my vaping adventure. I used the BLU eCig that he gave me, and at the time, I was pretty impressed!  The tastea wasn't too awful...not at ALL like my yummy (?) Salem 100s I'd been smoking for 43 years...but not awful...I think the first few days I was suffering "I've got a new gadget to play with!" which made me buy a few more...at $10 a piece!!  Ouch!!  Well I certainly couldn't AFFORD THAT, no matter how badly I wanted to quit!!!
I'd tried "quitting" before...way back when you had to get a prescription for nicorette gum...I got a prescription and bought that gum at RETAIL price...my insurance didn't even pay a dollar toward the RX...my feelings were that the insurance certainly didn't give a flip if you smoked or not, because if they REALLY DID CARE, they would pay portion off the pharmacy costs...If they didn't care, why should I?  Oh, to be in my 30s again, and still believe that I was going to live forever!!  I failed with the gum, failed with the patches,led idled with lemon drop candies, and even failedwith Chantix...three times...the smoking urge was so strong that even KNOWING I was going to throw up, I'd go out and smoke any way...my ex-husband's begging, pleading but mostly THREATENING harangues were useless..."you knew I smoked years here years before we got married...if it bothered you THAT much, y ou SHOULD have said something EARLIER!!  TOO LATE NOW!!!"  My smoking was an issue in our marriage, but not the ONLY issue...
and then ordered a small starter kit that my son recommended, from a mall kiosk. The ‘barebones’ kit came with a charger, battery and two packs of 24mg refill cartomizers. It was expected to arrive in just three days, which I thought was fantastic. I continued using the expensive disposables, and was delighted when my order arrived. The company said that one cart was equal to a pack of analogs, and I was determined to keep my usage down to one cart per day. The instructions said to vape until it tasted like a burnt-marshmallow. Following instructions, I burned every cartomizer.
Re-ordering
When I only had enough supplies to last about a week, I ordered one refill pack to get me through until payday. I believed it would arrive in three to five days as the website stated. I waited, and waited. I pounced on the mailman every day. Each day I would count my dwindling supply of carts, and then seek out the mailman again. On day five I called customer service and got this response "Oh, no Ma'am, we only take orders, we can't help you. You need to send an email and someone will respond in 24 to 48 hours." Oh great, it was 6:00 on a Friday night, and I bet they mean "business hours". I sent my email, not really expecting resolution until Tuesday next week, plus three to five more shipping days! At this point, I was glad that they were only pulling these shenanigans on a small $18 order. I had close to $450 on my "wish list".
Bad Experience
That company never even acknowledged my customer service request. I did finally get that one package of replacement cartomizers. It went into a drawer for emergency use and I have never looked back.
Check back later this week to hear about how I found Vapor4Life. Feel free to comment below, or send me an email about your first experiences with e-cigarettes.
Until next time...happy vaping!
