worked better for me without, but: woo HooJust got 2 mega cylinder attys from Freedom Smokes. Now this is vaping!!! Ya gotta try them.

I'm right with you sister!! I have been vaping for over a year now and have quite a collection of bad, clogged, burnt tasting atty's. Apparently first I was just getting knock offs when I thought I had been such a diligent shopper and found the best price. OK, so then I came here and asked many questions. I probably brought a really bad attitude here with me too. So here is a "Thank You" to all who had the fortitude, temperance, and kindness to deal with me and help out. From then on, I bought only from one recommended supplier and things got better for a while. Got an ego and loved it. The attys that came with it lasted about 3 months and I am a heavy user, so I was happy with supplier and my purchases. I have only lurked here occasionally since then as my job and life keep me from being able to spend much time on the computer. I brought him at least 3 other clients that I convinced to try vaping. I bought 3 replacement attys from him and only 2 worked and even they only lasted about 4 weeks. My partner ordered 3 new ones for me as a gift, now that should have done it for a while, but no... 2 of them tasted like I had liquefied asphalt and vaped it and the other worked for several weeks. OK, ordered 5 cartomizers, & 2 replacements and a whole new ego kit as he had lowered the price and I thought it would be good by now to get spare batteries (lower price was only $5 more than spare batteries). I have personally spent at least 5 to 6 hundred within the space of 6 months or less. Got the replacements and new ego kit and within 1 week both replacements had died I was using an atty from the kit. It tasted like burning rubber. It was so bad that I was told to leave an establishment that allows e cigs, wasn't evicted for vaping, but because the smell was so offensive. I contacted the supplier and complained. Was told to send the bad attys back an he would replace the 2 even tho they were, as he put it, out of warranty. I sent them back almost 4 weeks ago and never herd back from him. By the way, the cartomizers spit burning little balls of vape juice every time I try them. Not going there again! See, there's my bad attitude again... But I am not giving up!!! I am trying a new supplier, as when the darn things work they are awesome, I went from 2 packs of analogs a day to 2 analogs on a bad day. The removal of the fibers from the atty works the best from what I can tell. I pulled out some old nasty tasting ones and did surgery on them and they are usable now. So, for what it is worth, from the nightmare experience of bad decisions and suppliers, keep on its going to be worth it. BTW my voice no longer sounds like my father, not even in the AM.

I'm still a Noobie here, but been vaping for about a year now and for the last several months have had sooo many problems with bad batteries and attys that I came here for advice and to vent. I took advice seriously and fast. Ordered an ego. Had been using a 510. When it worked it was wonderful. I knew I not only could quit analogs, but wanted to as they no longer tasted good. Problems really started when everything I bought didn't work. I spent soo much time blowing thru attys and fussing with paraphernalia that it was a problem not just for me but for everyone around me as I really didn't want to go back, but my stuff wasn't working. My new Ego arrived at Noon today. Could not find any advice as to first time charging so I put it to charge and at 1:15 began vaping with it. Woo Hoo It's goin on midnight and still its working strong... I'm gonna have to get more juice LOL. I have even taken out the old cartridges that wouldn't produce with the crud batteries and attys and used them and getting clouds of vapor from them.... It's heavier and bulkier than I expected, but I'd carry a brick at this point if it worked as good as this. HATS OFF to litecigusa!!!

Its a 510. My original purchase was from Totally Wicked. I bought the starter kit & some spare attys from them in November, was pleased with most everything. I can still even use their batteries even if only for a half an hour. They are dying, but that was to be expected and they have truly lasted a long time. Prior to that I had been just playing sometimes with one called the E-health cigarette. My bad that I thought I could save money so when I saw someones post saying that Value Vapor had attys and batteries at really good prices I jumped on it. Now I have manual mega batteries that don't last for 1/2 hr one that doesn't even charge and a collection of attys that produce no vapor and one that has caused burns on my hand bad enough that I am seeing a doc this aft. Perhaps this wasn't the right place to *****, but when I looked at the mosh pit this was the first thing I read: "People should have a minimum of like 20 posts in order to enter the mosh pit. We don't want noobs coming in here and finding all this whacked out content, and we also don't want other people from random forums walking in and finding us trash talking." Whats a girl to do??

Ok. I've lurked here for a while and just last week joined, so I am truly sorry to ask you for advice on this. I previously stated that I had major problems with the batteries and atomizers that I had purchased. I bought 5 attys and 4 mega batteries from one site and they were crud. I complained and was told to send them back and they would evaluate and possibly send replacements. I guess that is what I should have done, but I live in a very rural area and It is not exactly just a jaunt to the corner to do this so I bit the bullet and just ordered from another site that came recommended. I am now out $102.53. The next vendor is recommended on this and other forums, so I think, OK, I am not going to get screwed.... WRONG! At least I didn't order that much. 5 Attys and 3 batteries $62.02 Not a one worked worth a CRAP!!! By this time I had almost completely exhausted the batteries from my purchase for Christmas and kept the best of the bad batteries and atomizers as I don't want to go back to analogs. Returned 4 attys and 2 batteries. got replacements. Cripes, they were worse that the first ones. One atomizer fired so instantaneously hot that it literally fried the skin off my two fingers. Emergency care doc says that it is 2nd partial burn and will heal. OK Sent email demanding a refund and informing the vendor of events. He has written back saying that he has issued a total refund, but when I check he has not. I paid thru PayPal, they show no refund.. When I sent email yesterday to question this: I received no response. I don't even know if I should reveal the names of these sites here. The only thing I know to do now is to contact a lawyer, but I really would like to settle this without more confrontation. By the way, I have now purchased an ego from a reputable dealer recommended by the kind responses from this forum. Can't wait for delivery as It is hard to fight the analog addiction. Please advise

OK. so I've been vaping for quite some time, but am new to this forum. I've had much bad luck with suppliers, bad batteries & atomizers etc . Best products I've found so far have been thru Totally Wicked, but they are a bit pricey when their sale price for a 510 mega battery is $14, attys $10.5. Now I know you get what you pay for, but can someone please recommend one or two suppliers that are consistent with decent products and maybe not as pricey? Might as well get it all out at once, so two more questions: A reply to my intro recommended the EGO. Is my understanding correct? The EGo will use the same 510 atomizers and cartridges, The main dif is the battery and cone and that those batteries will need their own charger, won't work on what I have now? Also can someone tell me about ZFM Carts. I read their explanation, but maybe I'm stupid I just can't see how it works. Thanks in advance...
