  1. and finally, this email: No worries! Ask as many questions as you need to feel comfortable. And you are correct, the area around the "wick" is also cotton so still nothing to worry about. Great questions and if you have any more please feel free to reach out!
  2. Just got this reply from NjoY: Hi Joshua, Thank you for the kind words! As for your question, the "wick" is actually made of cotton not polyester so there is nothing to worry about. The liquid (aka "juice") turns the cotton a dark brownish color initially and becomes darker as the fluid is vaporized. Hopefully this was helpful, however; if you have any other questions please feel free to ask! Take care Joshua and have a great week. Sincerely, David --------------------- well, that's relieving to know!
  3. oh and this was the post i was talking about: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/992-danger-filter.html
  4. the plan always was to get a better VP and use the NJOY until it arrived. my father actually has a volcano ecig i bought him that he doesn't use that i was maybe going to take. but now im just concerned about this polyester stuff and the popcorn lung stuff. i mean, i know analogs are bad, but at least we know what they do, right? ooof, i dunno. i sort of blow this stuff outta proportion, but even breathing in polyester those few times i cant help but wonder what the hell i just did to myself.
  5. Thx for the reply. I think it was the "wick" and not the actual filter (absorbing material). it was NOT the big piece of cloth/fiber in there, it was inside of that...if I understand correctly, the atomizer is wrapped around it or is near it? ive been on and off again smoker, never really heavy...just kind of needed something to relieve the stress and went the ecig route, rather than analogs this time around. didnt wanna trade one poison for another, but i suppose the < 24 hours of using this cartomizer was not enough for anything too bad.
  6. Thanks for the reply. So, I think i determined it was liquid that was burnt/crudded around the wick/atomizer part of the cartomizer I had. At least, after a full day of googling and asking questions, that's what I think. Anyhow, if anyone has more info that would be cool. I guess i really just dont want to end up with popcorn lung or something.
  7. So, I noticed a bad taste/smell coming from my first NJOY cartomizer (i used ecigs in the past, just a week ago started up again). It was like burnt or smoke or something. So, I took it apart and saw the very inner most filling was a bit black/brown and I could smell the same thing I was tasting on it. I googled and found some info from way back in 2008 about polyester filling being used and possibly being burnt when a cart is dry and that would have meant i was breathing in toxic polyester fumes. that same article was updated on 6/2012 to say that polyester is no longer used, so im sort of at a loss here. i send njoy an email to see what the deal is, but can anyone put my mind at ease here? id rather not get emphysema or cancer from an ecig.
