V2 Cigs E-Liquid Guide

What is E-Liquid?

Also called  eLiquid, Juice, E-Juice, Nicotine Fluid, smoke juice, etc.  E-Liquid is the nicotine or non-nicotine solution used your electronic cigarette.  V2 Flavor cartridges are pre-filled with e-Liquid. You can open a used cartridge and add more e-liquid or purchase V2 blank cartridges and fill them yourself.

What is dripping?

Dripping in the electronic cigarette world is the process of manually adding e-liquid solution to your cartridge or cartomizer.  It’s an affordable and easy way to refill used cartridges and fill your own blank cartridges.

Why use E-liquid?

  • E-liquid is ideal for people who use e-cigs frequently and go through cartridges quickly
  • E-liquid is less expensive than pre-filled cartridges and saves money
  • Ideal for people who have repeat problems with their cartridges losing “taste”
  • It gives you more control over product performance
  • It can give you more vapor, better taste and throat hit

How many times can I refill my V2 cartridges?

Cartridges can be refilled from 5 to as many as 20 times depending on several factors including voltage, vaping style and type of e-juice. Refill as soon as the vapor amount is reduced or the flavor starts to change. To maintain your cartridges, don’t let them dry out. Dry cartridges can burn and ruin the taste. It is not recommended to re-use a cartridge once it has a “burnt” taste.

How long will my filled cartridge last?

A well-saturated cartridge will usually last for a day or much longer, depending on how much you use it, voltage and vaping style.

What if I mix the flavors?

If you add a new flavor of V2 e-liquid to a prefilled cartridge without cleaning, the flavors will mix. Use your imagination to create your own custom flavor! Adding Menthol to a chocolate cartridge will produce a chocolate mint. Make vanilla mint by adding menthol or peppermint to a vanilla prefilled cartridge.

Can I clean my cartridges?

Some people clean their cartridges to extend their life or if they want to change flavors. There are many ways to do this including cleaning, washing and boiling them. You can also remove and replace the filler. Check Youtube for demonstrations on how to do this. V2 Cigs will soon release our own instructional videos on the subject.

How do I fill my cartridges with E-liquid?

There are many ways to add e-liquid to your cartridge. We will be highlighting just a few of them. The trick is to find the easiest and most convenient method for you.

Before you start:

Proceed with caution.  Light, medium and full strength V2 Premium E-Liquid contain nicotine, which can be absorbed through the skin and cause irritation. Wash exposed areas well with water and do not ingest liquid. Store your e-liquid away from children and pets and always close bottle securely to ensure a safety seal.

V2 Drip Tip (recommended as easiest method)

  • Remove white cartridge end cap by inserting small tool (tweezer, paperclip or toothpick work well) into small center hole and prying off
  • Attach a V2 Drip Tip to the mouthpiece end of your cartridge
  • Drip e-liquid  directly into drip tip hole
  • Remove drip tip and wait for e-liquid to absorb fully for 20 minutes OR
  • Keep drip tip on and vape through the drip tip. This is good for people who refill often and like the soft rubber drip tip (simulates a soft filter feel in the mouth–for those who like to sink their teeth into their e-cig)

Drip Method #1

  • Remove any rubber safety caps from your cartridge and ensure the battery is not attached.
  • The white cap on top of your cartridge is removable. Fit something small like a paperclip end into the intake hole in the middle and gently pry the cap off.  If you see circular O-ring, pull it out.
  • Inside, you will see a center post and white filler surrounding it. Do not add liquid to the center post.
  • Fill the dropper in the V2 e-liquid cap fully.
  • Holding your cartridge at an angle, carefully drip e-liquid around the inside edge of the cartridge until filler is wet. For a new cartridge, this will take 10-18 drops.
  • You may need to do this several times, letting the filler soak up the liquid in between drops
  • Replace white cap and clean off any e-liquid around the edge
  • It is recommended to let sit for 20 minutes before use

A variation on Drip Method #1

  • Add 5-6 droplets in circular pattern to open cartridge
  • Hold the cartridge steady at a 70 degree angle and continue adding 3 drops at a time
  • Wait for e-liquid to absorb
  • Total e-liquid: about 15-20 drops

The Condom Method

Not that type of condom. Condoms are the little rubber safety caps on new cartridges–save them.

  • Squeeze 6-10 drops of e-liquid into one condom
  • Push the filled condom all the way onto the mouth-end of an empty cartridge
  • Juice will be forced into the cartridge
  • Place another empty condom onto the threaded end of the cartridge
  • To prevent juice leakage, you can do the Taryn Spin (below)

The Taryn Spin

  • Use a V2 lanyard or  some other modified equivalent
  • Place your filled and condomed cartridge inside
  • Spin
  • The centrifugal force will force liquid into the filler
  • Do not spin with the battery attached!

The Direct Drip

  • Plug cartridge thread end with a condom
  • Remove white mouthpiece end cap and any O-ring with paper clip or tweezers
  • Stand cartridge up, with open end facing up
  • Squeeze drops of e-liquid down the walls of the cartridge (15-20 drops)
  • Replace O-ring (if present) and mouthpiece end cap
  • Cover with condom and let sit for at least 20 minutes
  • Make sure threads are dry before replacing on battery

Another easy method

  • Fill condom or small plastic cap halfway with e-liquid
  • Carefully drop threaded end of cartridge into cap
  • cartridge will slowly absorb e-liquid from the bottom up

The Reverse Drip (ideal for quickly topping off)

  • Remove cartridge from battery
  • Carefully drip e-liquid into threaded cartridge hole
  • You will see liquid “disappear” into hole
  • Don’t fill too fast or liquid will spill into cartridge threads
  • Clean off any residue
  • Let sit for a few minutes before use

TIPS:

  • To avoid getting e-liquid into the center post, insert a toothpick into the post to cover it
  • If e-liquid gets into the center post, simply place a napkin on the screw end of the cartridge and blow out into the cartridge from the mouthpiece end
  • Blow on cartridge a few times after refilling to expel extra e-juice
  • Avoid over-filling which causes a waste and a gunky battery connector
  • Refilling your cartomizer too many times may wear out the filler, resulting in a burnt taste
  • Freshen your cartomizer by running warm water through it and let dry a full 24 hours before filling

    I take a large gauge needle and syringe, and fill up the syringe with juice. Cap off the bottom, and then slide the needle down the side of the filter. Slowly press the plunger on the syringe and watch the top of the cartridge. When the filter starts to look wet, stop! You may have to do the same on the other side if it’s not filling evenly.

    I prefill my syringe with my flavor combos, and have it handy in a drawer next to my desk. I can “shoot up” my cartridges in just a few seconds. I do several at a time, cap off the tops, and leave them in my desk so they have time to sit. It’s nice to be able to do them in quick batches. There’s practically no waste, and no spilling!

      I use a syringe as well! I like to shoot it into the cotton fill and on the sides. When I don use that method, I use the drops around the edge and then slide a paperclip down the side and push in. Repeat about 3 times for a day cart. I smoke in my office and tell people it’s the same type vapor as whats coming off their coffee cup. You want to ban my vapor – lets ban your coffee vapor. End of story.

        LOL… I thought this was funny. I still feel like I have to ‘hide’ my electronic cigarette when shopping in stores. Over the weekend, I went shopping at Walmart and spent a good 2+ hours in there….lol….. I never would have made it that long before without a cigarette…… well, I could have but it wouldn’t have been such a pleasureable shopping experience. Employee’s were following me around the Store!! I guess they were trying to figure out what the heck this thing was that I was sucking on….lol. It’s not well-known where I live, so people freak out at the least little thing that is ‘different’. I want to feel comfortable ‘smoking’ in public, I guess it’s so ingrained in me that ‘smoking’ is banned in public places…. so, I feel like I should be guilty of something….lol. I LOVE V2! I’ve tried other brands and they just do not compare! They just don’t! Thanks V2 for caring about people’s health and well-being. You really are saving lives…. each and every day! Great Job!

            Joe is right. Many states are working to ban e-cigs for no other reason than they “look like REAL cigs”.
            Vaping in non smoking areas will only succeed in getting e-cigs banned. IMHO

            I agree with Kari. Anytime I head to the bars or restaurants, I always make sure to ask the waitress or waiters. Typically, it’s a “I don’t mind” reaction. I’ve had some people ask their managers and I have never been turned down. Bare in mind, I do a lot of traveling and go many places and their rules are different, so I recommend at least be courteous and ask someone. It helps out in the long run. Plus not to mention, the e-cig is a good conversation piece.

        Unfortunately that’s not true. Think about it, you’re heating a liquid (not water) to become a gas. I love my e-cig and I will argue that it’s a million times better than smoking paper and leaves; but please don’t overstate the facts. There are no long terms studies done on the effects of inhaling vaporized PG/VG or any of the myriad flavoring ingredients. However, it should be noted that some short term studies are extremely promising. This is the best I found with a quick literature search: http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/19/8/1945.short

      Diabetic syringes and/or allergy syringes and the needles are too small. E-liquids are a slightly thick juice. 3 ml syringes with a larger gauge needle work fine.

      Some ejuice sellers sell the 3 ml syringes with larger gauge needles.
      They are also available from farm & ranch supply stores; OR just search the web.

    I am still thinking about Joe’s comments. The fact that e-cigs can be used in places where cigarettes cannot is a selling point for V-2 cigs. I am just wondering why Joe finds it necessary to verbally attack people with demeaning names toward people that he hasn’t even met.
    Joe, you can disagree and still remain polite.
    To those he insulted (Sharon and Kelly): Don’t take it personally. I would venture to say that the majority were on your side. And for those who weren’t, it shouldn’t matter. Name calling makes my skin crawl and it is NEVER appropriate, at ANY age.

    LMAO>>> I smoke my v2′s any where I am or everywhere I go. I even had to use it at my Dr.s Offices awa the State Bldg. I use it in Walmart and actually I have sold many of v2′s bc I use it so freely that every smoker wants one. I wish I had they”re business cards and just receive 5% of every person that called or made an order bc mine would be free. Its true that you may use your v2′s anywhere @ anytime. So being restricted just because a nonsmoker doesn’t want you smoking. Just tell them its water vapor and its helping you quit the nicotine. Then they might even ask about it for their friend or spouse. You bought the v2, feel free to use it anywhere. People seem to use their private product such as inhalers or popping gum. I wish all of you the very best with your v2′s. I’ definetly sold on the product and a few I’ve helped, they too love ,em. Happiest of Holidays.

    My boss is so happy I have quit smoking cigarettes, she lets me use the V2s in the office. My house, clothes, hair and car don’t smell like an ashtray any more. My spouse, who quit a decade ago, is thrilled. Like some other folks, I try to be discreet about when and where I use them in public, particularly if there are children around. I believe use of e-cigs has been banned during flight. I definitely agree that we shouldn’t be too brazen about the use of these cigarette substitutes because I believe that will invite more and more bans on their use. Remember that the majority no longer rules. It only takes a small group to start complaining about how ‘offensive’ they find us regardless of how uninformed they are and regardless of the incalculable health benefits. It doesn’t take much. Merry Christmas. May the ACLU stay the heck out of this.

    I just got my e-cig and chose Red flavor in hopes of getting as close as possible to my normal brand of Marlboro. The taste is about as close as I can get to the real thing but it is a little stronger than I would like. Can anything be added to the cartridge to tone down the taste just a bit?

      You may have to lower the nicotine content if the carts are to “harsh” on your throat. As far as flavor, you may notice after a while the intensity of flavors dissipate as you become more accustomed to them.

    @Mark you should wait after refilling with juice to allow it time to soak in the filling. If you begin vaping before you give it time you have the possibility of getting a burnt taste and possibilly buring out the coil that heats the liquid. No harm on yourself but maybe to the cart.

    Hi all, I’ve been vaporing for over two months. Recently I was vaporing at the mall and was approached by a passerby. She sat next to me and started starring at me, then the questions started. “what are you smoking?” I started to explain what e cigs are and she informed me her mother is a two pack a day smoker and has never heard of e cigs. She thanked me and is going to buy her mother a starter kit. I think e cigs are a much healthier alternative than smoking and many people are interested but are not sure if would work for them. I’ve been a pack a day smoker for over 20 years and wish I heard and tried e cigs a lot sooner.I try to be courteous to others but I think if fellow smokers who are trying to quit annd see other people smoking e cigs, it might become more acceptable in the public eye. E cigs are still a new fad and the public, especially non-smokers, are uneducated about it so many will find it nerve racking.

    Reading about the “juice” perked my interest considering I go through cartridges more often than I had anticipated. I just tried to get my “white end” off a cartridge with a paperclip and tweezers… it tore up the vaping hole! So anyhow I used a PUSHPIN and it popped right off. I think I’ll try the “juice” because I find a fresh cartridge to be very satisfying but throughout half the day or so it just doesn’t fill that urge, I end up vaping for 20-30 mins or holding it often so I end up swapping it out for a new one. I am 10 days free of “smoking” and it’s all because of vaping and V2!! I started with a gas station brand which was ok, did some research and found V2. I bought a kit and found it to really be the “BEST” on the market. Thank you!! My children compliment me, I don’t smell, and my husband kisses me more often!! I love it, everyone is happy again!!

    To date; there is only one place that has banned “Vaping” on a Federal level and that is with AMTRAK. But, who is going to stop you from ducking out into the restroom for a few quick hits? I agree that we the people should be free to “Vape” wherever we want, but desecration would probably be better for us all until more people become aware of e-cigs. I “Vape” at Wal-Mart and restaurants, but I hold the e-cig in my hand in such a way as that it is mostly concealed. Why rock the boat when no one is persecuting me, yet?

    Hey there peeps, I have used v2 e-cigs now for over a year im 45 years old and smoke since I was about 14. At no point could I have stop smoking without them I live in the uk and get them ship over to me. I will say the postage sucks big time and have no clue why v2 charge me so much to send them as it cost the same price no matter what I buy £43.00. So I tend to buy lots at the same time now so I don’t have to place a order with them to often thank god. As for the muppert ( joe) that feels the need to tell people how , when and where they should use these e-cigs. The hole point of them is that the law states smoking is something you do by lighting it up and burning as there is no smoke without fire or flame you can not be breaking the law to use one and there for these can be used any where and at any time and trust me when I say any where as I have used them even on a plane with no problems. Yes I did say a plane I take it every where I go and use it freely and I have never had any one complaints about it to me. In fact I get loads of people asking me what they are and the people that smoke ask where they can get one. the none smokers are just as good about the hole thing to. E-cigs work and the v2′ s are what worked for me. Good luck if you give them ago your feel better for it as I know I do

    I bought some of the Congress flavor a while ago and found that, in my opinion, they taste very much like Winston cigarettes. I was never a fan of Winston, so I shoved them aside until I saw the e-liquid. I bought some peppermint, blew much of the liquid from the Congress cartridges and refilled with the peppermint. It turned out to be a rather nice blend. And I didn’t feel like the Congress went completely to waste.
    Also, on being able to vape anywhere… doesn’t work here in Washington state where I live. Many places still refuse to let us e-smoke, including bars, stores and public transit. I drive for the bus system, and for the life of me cannot figure out why they won’t even let us vape in the shelters… or anywhere on transit property. Of course, I believe Washington State is trying to be the first completely non-smoking state. Bah! Think I will have to start pushing V2′s a bit around here. :)

    In response to vaping in public, most people in the USA are familiar withe e-cigs, since it is not illegal to vap in public places like regular cigs why hide them. I have vaped in doctors offices and right in front of the Doctor. Doctors are recomending e-cigs now. They have been tested and it has been determined that they are as harmless as a cup of coffee, or nicotine. Being a smoker for 35 years, and vaping for over a year now I must admit that I enjoy vaping and have no plans on quiting. My wife of 20 years has been on my case to quit smoking in the house because it obviously bothered her, now that I am vaping I can sit right next to her and vape and it doesn’t bother her at all, the same goes with my mother in law, she told me that I could vape in her house because it didn’t bother her either, that is saying a lot considering that my mother in law couldn’t even stand to come into our house when I was smoking regular cigs. We have enough nonsense laws in this country as it is, so since we are not breaking the law why hide it. If for some reason you are uncomfortable about vaping in public just put it up your sleave and vape, no one will even know it, there is no second hand smoke, nor fire. When asked I tell people it is the same as a humidifier, nothing but water vapor. I have not had any problem vaping in public. The government is not going to be able to make e-cigs illegal, they are becoming very popular and they would not be able to justify doing so with a product that is not harmful to yourself or anyone else. I don’t think they will make regular cigs illegal either, to much money involved. I can also personally say that since I started vapeing that I no longer cough and hack in the morning or during the day anymore plus it is nice to be able to breath normally again. The first month I spent coughing up the regular cigs and again after about six months, this is simply your body getting rid of the toxins of regular cigs, this is normal and to be expected. I tried to quit smoking for most of my life, the only thing that has worked is the e-cig, plus thier a lot cheaper. I am looking forward to filling my own e-cigs because the pre-filled ones do run out of flavor to soon, so topping of is appealing to me. Who knows maybee as more people start vapeing maybee the farmers will start growing things this country needs like food???

    Man! Some of you guys are tough! Here is my two cents. I have vaped in restaurants, bars, the theater, grocery store, and department store. I have yet to be confronted. One restaurant owner or matre’d came over to me just to ask about the PV. He had family he wanted to buy it for. It ended up a very pleasant conversation. Unlike some of the confrontations I have encountered smoking rel cigarettes, they got ugly, quick. I originally had the thought, I don’t want to ruin this for everybody, if I smoke these and offend the mis or uninformed some politician will be very quick to get some mileage out of the controversy. Then I thought, that’s enough of the shame, the quilt, the paranoia. It hasn’t offended a single person yet. And nobody has tried to shoo me anyway from their door. I imagine I will encounter some lame brain one day. They don’t run my life, I think they have a real hard time living their own.

    Hi all.. have been vaping now for over 3 months. Have cheated a few times when out of carts. Didnt order soon enuff. I know several people that are going to be ordering because they have seen me with mine. After smoking for 32 yrs. I feel free. So far i havent had anyone tell me i cant use it. I useit in the post office all the time and the postmaster wants her kid to get one. As for the lack of studies done on inhaling PG/VG… Pg has been used in inhalers for over 50 yrs and some people use daily and more. FDA says its safe for human consumption so people need to get a grip on the issue. You eat vg/pg daily…Are you sick from it? Get more flavors out in eliquid.

    Ive used my v2 EVERYWHERE. lol including inside a hospital. Which is part of the reason I switched. I had no choice but to quit real ciggs because i had a blood clot.

    The nurses were curious so I pulled the website up and showed them. They all were tired of having to leave the hospital to smoke. So I’m sure that’s a few of them even ordered their own kits to help them quit smoking.

    I never hide my v2 when I puff on it. I even used it when my guy took me to a concert and it was a no smoking venue. It helped him make it through the entire performance without having to miss any of his favorite band. I’m even trying to get him to switch.

    Surprisingly doctors don’t mind it once you explain how it works and all of the ones ive spoken with agree that its safe and a good way to get nicotene without doing any real harm.

    Ill have to order a few things of the liquid because I do tend to go through cartridges fairly quickly. So this will certainly be my next purchase.

    I love, love, love V2. Thanks for the tips refilling the carts with liquid. I continue to promote V2, and so far, I swayed my sister, niece, and son-in-law to switch from regular cigs to V2. They, too, are happy with V2. As for vaping in public, I don’t do it if children are present…but, adults can kiss my grits if they don’t like it. However, adults who have commented say “I don’t smell anything.” A Happy V2 customer

    I have been using cartridges, but going through quickly, ready to re order today.(expensive)
    Would you guys highly recommend doing the eliquid vs reg prefilled cartridges?
    And does anyone, since mentioned above, find any info on if there is any thing in the vapor harmful? I am still paranoid since they tell me water vapor, but if theres anything at all”bad:, I do not (haven’t been) smoking e cigs in front of son. Want to know if i can or not
    Thanks guys

    I am discrete when I use my V2 e-cig. I have been using V2 for only about 3 months. My doctor likes the fact that I have changed my nicotine delivery device and no longer am inhaling tar and other harmful chemicals added by manufacturers to increase my addiction to nicotine. My doctor has also told me that he recommends the e-cig to other patients, although when I showed him my e-cig it looked like it was the first time he had ever seen one. I explained the refill process and then showed him how the battery attaches and the cartridge comes apart. I love that I no longer smell like an ash tray and have spoken to many people who are curious about e-cigarettes. As far as smoking bans, I remember saying they could never make smoking illegal in a bar, how wrong was I! As far as the vapor emitted from the e-cig, as I see it it is a partial amount of what went in; I.E. it contains some nicotine and flavorings in the vapor. It could be argued that this is second hand nicotine being introduced into the air some one else is breathing. Granted it is far less harmful (in my opinion) than the second hand smoke from a cigarette. Still I think common sense is the best course forward as opposed to a belligerent quoting of the fact that e-cig vaping is not smoking.

    As for the issue of filling cartridges I find that a syringe works the best. It is important to keep the cartridges clean and let them dry after cleaning. It is just as important to take care when refilling to the proper level. If over filled the cartridges get fouled up and dirty, less efficient and won’t last as long. The e-liquid refill allows blending flavors for a custom mix and I think any food grade liquid flavor additive is fair game for custom flavor. I smoke the Sahara flavor and am still looking to put a little more bite into the flavor. I used to smoke Drum tobacco for years and enjoy a full rich unfiltered, hand rolled taste, the Red flavor from V2 did not do anything for my taste buds.

    The fact that smoking cigarettes has become socially unacceptable and V2 e-cigs look like cigarettes confuses the public and slow gentle education should make this issue less in the future. The fact that we can choose to purchase blue, black and stainless batteries is a help and further sets the e-cig apart from the regular cigarette smokers.

    i started using blu at new years after a near fatal neumonia infection. 30yrs old & not ready to die. the blu is available at any denver walgreens and cheaper than newports. they’v been good enough to get me started but dripping doesnt really work with them. my doctor has run tests twice so far which have proven that e-cigs have already vastly reduced my risk of hospitalization for a lung infection again. my doctor has seen me fail to quit with every gum patch or other cessation products but he’s convinced vaping will spare me an early painfull death. so i have thoroughly investigated all the top companies looking for the best of the best to save my life. i’m buying the v2 ultimate kit june 4th(payday). thanks to those of you who stuck to the topic because you’v made me confident enough to go straight to dripping. did the math and the savings will are going to go a long ways towards my fiance & i’s fianancial security which is good cuz we just closed on our 1st house. as for the politics of the everywhere in the face versus vaping the stealth way i believe that we deserve to enjoy the freedom to vape because its not smoking & not illegal. while doin some traveling i had it verified by tsa at denver international airport that e-cigs can be freely used in the airport i also verified that frontier airlines is also allowing freedom to vape in flight. if in doubt just ask wherever you are. i do it largely out of courtesy to avoid provoking the nutjobs that are opposed. my concern is that any enemies we make with any “it’s legal i’ll do what i want” offenciveness could easily become supporters of the malign movements to restict or ban e-cigs. since the FDA classified them them same as tobacco products e-cigs are now one of the greatest threats to the tobacco companies’ profit margins. if we piss ignorant uppety people off with in your face vaping we might be giving the anti e-cig bastards another pawn. that said i do enjoy the legallity of e-cigs anywhere i want i just do it discreetly.

    I was traveling from Nairob, Kenya to Guanzu, China and on the flight I used the v2 people were looking at me and called the Perser of that flight he very politely came to me and asked if I was smokeing on flight, I showed him the v2 he was very surprised as I had explained to him then just laughed called the captain who wanted to see the gadget looked at it asked me how it worked and told me to carry on as it did not smell or burning, I am very happy with the v2. Thanks to the v2 team.
