Nothing unusual in wanting cig tasting juice when you first start vaping

www.ok-smokey.com/e-cig-liquids/e-liquid-20ml.html

ok smokey is one of the more popular sites for the near cig experience imo

if you check out the allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=suppliers&thread=2&page=1#2

page there is a full list of vendors .. the majority also have discount codes

Hi hollie and welcome, the best thing to do to start with, is try little tasters of juice, different flavours, as what you think you may like, may not what you actually do like.

Nothing will really taste like a ciggie, but you just need to find a juice you like.

Welcome hollie.

I know my way around that website quite well. 99% sure those cartomisers will be BLANKS, i.e. no liquid.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend that particular kit. 0.5ml in a cartomiser is not very much so you;ll be filling up/topping up quite often. Also, there's only 1 battery....which is sure to cause nail-biting issues as soon as it's run out and you need a vape to kill off those pesky cravings.

The nicotine in your cigs puts you between about 13-18mg a day you'll need to replace. That was the same as me (approx) so if you are starting with carts and liquid, go for 18 or 20mg juice.

Ask away.

Hi hollie and welcome along,your looking in the right place for your kit,but may want to get something a bit bigger that lasts longer,around the 650-1100 mah range,you will also see that one of vape escapes larger kits come with a choice of different clearomizers and cartomizers,so you can try out which you prefer

So true.

I started with tobacco flavours and got off them pretty quick. You get the odd one which is tasty, some are sweet, some are just downright dusty and tasteless. Impossible to say which you'd like. I had/have lots of carts with tobacco flavour in, I tend to sweeten them up as soon as they need a top up with vanilla or something sweet. Some people really like a tobacco flavour, and good for them. There are also lots and lots of tobacco-based flavours, like caramel, apple, licourice, RY4...

Hi Hollie and Welcome! #welcome2#

I started with a dse 901 cig-a-like. It was Ok but soon got fed up of re-filling the carts just like alanfinal said. I asked for advice and bought the Riva 1100 from Jason at Vape Escape and its a whole different level! (Jason's customer service is absolutely First Class as well).

I do occasionally use Boge carts but am really a Kanger T2 and Vivi Nova girl Both hold about 2.5 ml liquid which keeps me going all day LOL. No need to refill in the office.

Hope this helps but feel free to ask away - everyone is really helpful on here.

I use a (KR808) mini e-cig during the day, I actually like carrying 4 or 5 carts so I can change flavours. Takes me 5 minutes in the morning to drop in 4 or 5 liquids.

My home PVD is also RIVA 1100mah. Awesome.
I also use that with cartos too.....again, to allow quick flavour swap.

Hi Holly and welcome. As already mentioned you will struggle to find a juice that tastes like a real cig. I tried loads but to no avail. The ok smokey ones are sort of like cigs, but to be honest it does not take that long to forget what a real cig tastes like anyway. Have fun with your search though and if you do find one that does actually taste like a cig please let me know.

Hi Hollie & welcome.

You're better off going for a kit that has two batteries or make sure you order a second one at the time of ordering. As for liquids, don't be surprised if you don't stick with baccy flavoured. I only used 10mls then moved onto trying different flavours. I found they were far nicer than the baccy. We all eventually find our favourites & daily vape after trying a good few, so get small quantities of different flavours.

Good luck & welcome to the club!

Hi hollie

Jason at vapeescape is a very helpful vendor so if you give him a ring he'll do his best to sort you out with a kit that suits you

many people start of with this kit, it has 2 batteries so one can be charging as you use the other

www.vapeescape.co.uk/the-ve-riva-1100-deluxe-kit~151

these batteries also last a long time between charges

recommending e-juice is very difficult, taste is subjective, so best to try small sample bottles.

If you do order from vapeescape use code 'allabout' for 10% discount

Hi hollie karma is spot on , have a look at her link it is really a great kit for starting on

Agree with everything that has been said about the juices......... I'm sure you will have fun trying different ones

Ditto......... well, except for the 'girl' part The Riva 1100 kit is a great starter/intermediate kit and it comes with a bunch of cartomisers plus a clearomiser so you get a try of both....... well worth the money imho plus you get two batteries which should easily last more than a day!


It is a bit confusing to begin with but all the folks here are really helpful and always willing to give advice

Hello & welcome Hollie

As others have said, you really do need a starter kit with 2 batteries - otherwise you will have nothing to use when your battery is on charge
