You're already one of us LOL

I have been stalking the fedex site since I got the confirmation #!

Lol that's normal. I start doing that before the tracking number even shows up in their system.

ok, it finally got here!! I was just about to leave for some errands when it showed up so I ripped open the package and tried one right off just to see. I left the manual battery to charge while I was gone and tried it again just now.

Since I bought ala carte, I didn't get any instructions - how long do I let a battery charge for the first time? Is it charged once the light is green? (Just the first time right out of the package is my concern, I know to let it charge until the green light comes on, and that it should take about 45 min to an hour. Please correct me if I am wrong)

I was actually on my way out to buy the BF. I got the Marinland size U but all they had was a tube type. I am hoping this is the same stuff (I probably just paid way more for the tube style)

and yeah, this is going to have some getting used to time...the problem is just like many of you, I want to just puff on this all the time, but I think I was correct in my assumption that 16mg was too high to start - I took about 5 vapes before I got a headache. (I am hoping that does not mean I am allergic to either PG or PV as some are)

I do think this will help with my quitting smoking effort though, after the typical break in/adjustment period.

I did get a good TH but not much vapor from the pre-filled cart and the manual battery. I assume this is just due to the break in period for the atty?

TIA once again for taking the time to answer a noobs questions!!

The charger will start at red to indicate it is charging. My USB charger will then start alternating to green then back to red again once it gets close to full. Once it stays green for at least 10 seconds it should be fully charged. Mine (not sure everyone's does this) will then alternate every 10 seconds or so to an orange color just as it checks the battery. It'll then go back to green.

The Marineland filters are made for a round filter. We just cut them into sheets. The Rite Size U filters should be all blue foam and you can cut them along the sizes where they are bonded together, then cut pieces out as you use them. Should be 3 in a pack and should last you a long time. Some people suggest washing them with hot water and drying them before use, I can't say that is a bad idea.

If you got not much vapor from the prefilled cart the atty just needs some of that primer oil off of it.. it'll start working better as time goes on. They ship em with that stuff on the coil and bridge so it takes a few to get it off there. I've had some that were just filled with the stuff, and some that had barely any on. If you have any e-liquid to play with in bottles you can try adding a couple drops directly to the bridge.. let it sit a while then pop back on the cart and vape.. bet it'll produce more vapor then!

ah yes, washing the filters seems like a rather grand idea! (one I probably would have thought of much, much later)

ok, good about the battery, mine was doing the same thing as you described - I didn't check after 10 secs though, but my auto batt is charging now so I will def. look on that one, and from now on.

you know, my downfall each and every time I started smoking again was going out to a bar. I am not big on it and maybe go once every 6 months if that, but I always started back up again after being in one. Here we can not smoke at all indoors even in bars but the habit of going outside with friends who smoked was what got me....now I don't have to worry!!

OMG, I am in serious like with this thing and we have just met.........

I just read your last tip on the atty...... I do have some juice, thanks for the awesome tip!!
