Ebay or local supplier

[athol49]

I'm relatively new to using clearomisers and bought a couple of kits from Ebay - a Vision EGO kit with a 650 Mah EGO-T battery and a CE5 washable kit with a 900 Mah EGO CE5 battery.  The vision gives the taste of something burning if liquid less then 0.9 ml in tank, while the CE5 is difficult to draw.  Would I be any better to use my local supplier for e-juice (in local market) for replacement clearo's, or is it just a matter of luck whether the wicks work?

For info : started vaping in November, 2012 and stopped smoking completely at end of May, 2013 after 40 years on a pipe.  Enjoying vaping, but it cost me a fortune in e-cigs before switching to clearo's.

Welcome to you Athol.

Congratulations as well . . . Evods are a very popular bottom coil clearomiser on the forum, the heads are replaceable so quite a cost effective way to vape:

The type of clearomisers you so far have and many others all benefit from ' swooshing ' the liquid inside round to keep the wicks wet and the coils supplied with juice. It very much sounds like you're letting them dry out and that's why you are getting a burning taste.

We've a great selection of Vendors on the forum, the vast majority of them also stock eliquid. This thread has links to all and their respective discount codes:

Our Vendor forum is also worth checking for any deals currently on offer, you'll likely find delivery times from the majority as good if not considerably better than some Ebay sellers:

Hello & welcome Athol

Ebay banned the sale of e-cigs about 4 years ago, so not a good idea to buy from anyone selling them on eBay as the seller could get banned at any time.

Hi Athol, just to add to what others have said, when i first started vaping i read on here never to let juice level go below 0.8 on your clearo, i know you have said 0.9 so perhaps you need to be topping up before you get to that level & +1 on Perpetua's reply

Well done in making the switch. Finally quitting the smokes is a great achievement.

As Chrissie says, e-cigs and related items are banned on ebay. However, there are lots of items listed as "e-shisha" or similar which slip through the net.
I have had a few messages with them about this, not because I care either way, but I think the playing field should be level.
Same on Amazon. They are selling eGos with clearos and getting away with it. Amazon don't care.

I have never had anything but trouble from cheap clearomisers. I think I've had 1,2,3 4 of them either bought by mistake or intentionally in the early days and they cost me wasted time, frustration and one killed a £14 battery. Some of the cheap stuff has just terrible quality control.

I would advise you to buy some clearomiser(s) on the internet from a good vendor. ALL my slightly more expensive clearos (Mini Novas, Vision V3s, Evods) are still working after months and months.

Thanks to all who posted on this.  Wasn't aware you had to 'slosh liquid around - thought that was what wicks were for.  Vaping much improved.   Also checking out Evod for future supplies.  Always wondered why Ebay vendors called them Shisha pipes - you learn something every day.

Already use one of the forum suppliers - Emporium Vapour @ Falkirk market - excellent service, advice and good range of flavours.

Good to hear a spot of sloshing has helped Athol.

Athol, I used to always prefer the draw with cartomisers, than with clearomisers - until I got an Evod. To me the Evod is best of both worlds
