Hi from Glasgow, a few questions...

[Cammy]

Hello, I am Cammy. I've been vaping since around June and was using pre-filled cartomisers and ecigs from clear smoke. I've just got a tank kit from VIP cig and am well impressed with the throat hit. I kinda slipped back into smoking cigarettes a couple of months ago whilst using the clearsmoke ecig as I found my batteries and/or carts wouldn't last. I don't want to fall into that trap again. I love the taste and hit from vaping and think it knocks the socks of 'real' cigarettes. Can I use any e-liquid in my new clearomiser? I've been advised it needs to be PG as opposed to VG - is this correct? Also can I refill my old clearsmoke prefilled cartons as a back-up, I have loads of them left and a few batteries, I would like to use them too in situations when I cannot use my new photon super tank... Any info greatly appreciated.

hi, welcome to forum
Can I use any e-liquid in my new clearomiser? most yes, expect some acidic ones which will crack you tank , so i would say 95% of eliquid are ok
VG PG percentage , 30-70, 20-80, 50-50 is ok but anything over that amount of VG, the more vg % will create more problems for wicking especially winter time , you will get lots of dry hits if the clearo#s wicks cannot sucks up the liquid easily

[Cammy]

Cheers, the liquid I am looking at is PG, its just I can get better deals and more variety from other online vendors

Hello & welcome Cammy

Yes you should als obe able to refill your your clearsmoke cartomisers with any e-liquid.

BTW, VIP are far from being the cheapest.

Hi Cammy and #welcome2# from me too

I'm not sure if you can re-fill the clearsmoke carts. Am I right in thinking that they have a separate atomiser that you shove the cart onto which breaks the seal in the cart?

OMG, I've just checked out the clearsmoke site - they are really expensive And they claim their "refills" are the equivalent to 36 real cigs each I think they are cartomisers though, karma?

[Karma]

Sorry you're right Chrissie, they must have updated to cartomisers since I had the dubious pleasure of trying one!

So yes, Cammy you should be able to refill these a couple of times!

You haven't signed up to on e of their continuous payment schemes have you?

They look like ordinary cartomisers to me, but probably not a 510 fitting (can't screw your tanks onto your old little batteries). If you can get the base off you can refill them. If you destroy the base while getting it off you might be able to replace it with a drip tip like the one on top of your CE4.

I'd get a second big battery. The Photon looks like a rebranded Ego to me. £14-99 is not a terrible price for a 1000mah battery, but you can save a couple of quid - www.ivapour-elixir.co.uk/e-cig/ego-batteries.html for example.

Thanks so much for all you replies. I realise I need a second battery and want to sample more liquids. I have done a fair bit of research online and can get PG? liquid in 50ml bottles for about £12 including postage. I managed to get the base off the old cartomisers from clear smoke and put some liquid in, it gives me a smooke but nowhere near the throat hit from the photon. I didn't sign up to the continuous payment scheme but actually found them quite a pleasant smoke initially - just not enough and tbh they were costing me as much as I was spending on cigarettes per month. I like a strong smoke and am thinking of mixing in the 36mg to give abit more of a hit to the tank - any suggestions on a good strong liquid? Are Dekang good liquids? Thanks again guys...

[Chrissie]

Cammy, as Giles says, your Photon certainly looks like a rebranded ego battery. For a spare battery, you might fancy one of these multi-coloured ones -

Dekang liquids are more than OK but you might want to check out the e-liquids sold by the above vendor & others that mix their own as they tend to have more flavour than Dekang.

A warm welcome from me Cammy.

Taste matters more with a clearo like the CE4, and your tastes change over time. The same name of juice from two different suppliers can taste different. I'd think twice before buying 50ml even of a juice I knew I liked.

I wouldn't search too hard for the cheapest juice - if money is an issue you'll probably end up mixing your own anyway (it is pretty easy and a lot cheaper). More important to find flavours you like.

If you are trying to match a cigarette/rolly flavour then OK Smokey is likely to be the best www.ok-smokey.com/e-cig-liquids/e-liquid-20ml.html They go up to 38mg. I wouldn't use them for anything else.

If you don't know what sort of flavour you might like then www.miragecigarettes.co.uk/shop/oasis-e-liquid-sample-pack.html probably still gives you the greatest number tastes for the least money, but all 18mg.

Hi Cammy, I'm a Glesga man myself although I now live about 20 miles down river.
You'll find a couple of pages of strong tobaccos here;

Their Golden Virginia and their Drum will curl a Hedgehogs Spines. Personally I use their Royals. Lovely and smooth and very much like what I used to smoke cigarette wise.

ADD ON: if you arent a greedy person , yes it will be cheaper. I know someone ( can be me ) has over 60 bottles of flavoring and increasing per month
