Well said that Man! I persisted in the idea that refilling E-Lites would eventually do it for me. How wrong was I. You can refill these look-a-like e-cigs with e-liquid but ultimately you are wasting your time and money. Carto's (designed for a specific "branded product") don't last forever, and some won't refill even successfully at all. As for tobacco-type flavours, I have "accidentally" found nearly all the flavours I had in pre-filled cartridges. I have a juice that tastes 99% identical to JacVapour Virginia and another (liberty flights liquid) that tasted 99.9% the same as E-Lites. It's not rocket science, *somebody* somewhere will have stumbled upon the juice these makes use in the pre-filled cartos. - - - Welcome to the forum. Most of us have been down these well-trodden paths to vaping. I didn't manage to quit real cigarettes until I graduated from crappy E-Lites to JacVapour. I then went up another "upgrade" level just to make my life easier with batteries and liquid. - - - It is my opinion that unless you smoke less than 10 ultra-lights a day, the majority of mass-marketed mini (look-a-like) e-cigs won't give you enough puffs or nicotine to really use them as an "alternative* to smoking. I established that you can get 150 "Puffs" out of most of these refills. However, the nicotine from those "Puffs" is 3 or 4 times less than a puff on a fag. Hence, you need to use lots of cartridges...... With some brands, the cost of that is £1,000s a year. Good luck.

Hi Dowden, If you are refilling the Skycig Cartridges, you remove the top cap and the small plastic washer immediately under it. This will then expose the filler material that you drip onto. I used to squrt some juice on, then turn the cartridge and squirt some more. Just keep squirting a few drops at a time, then turn, then more, until the material will not soak up any more. Then leave it standing upright for 10 minutes or so before replacing the washer and then the top cap.
It was the skycig kit that got me from cigies to 100% vaping and I was two weeks into full time vaping before I upgraded to the Ego-C system.

eGo - C www.joyetech.com/product/eGoC.phpBasically, it's a battery type which allows you to then choose/use all kinds of accessories. www.vapeescape.co.uk/joyetech-ego-c-1000mah~313If you've been using a basic (and crap) mini e-cig, you might not need to get into all this. I think I speak for many of us when I say I more or less *had* to upgrade to this sort of thing to quit smoking permanently. Did you read my previous post?

Yo and welcome. I'm a newbie here too. Started on clearsmoke cartos and had sky cig but was tokin them like they were going out o fashion. When my batteries died and I ran out of a apparent months worth in under 2 weeks I went back on the stinkys. Bought myself a tank kit 3 weeks ago and its been the best move I ever made in my quest to give up ciggys. Ive found vape escape 7 wolves and paradise vape winson to be a good tobacco taste. Still have loads to sample tho and looking forward to em all...
