How long will my kit last?

[cakey87]

Hi Everyone

Just ordered the exhale CE5 kit www.exhalecigarette.co.uk/eXhale-Ego-CE5-Electronic-Cigarette-Starter-Kit-s/90.htm

Can anyone tell me how long it will last me? So roughly when will I need to change the clearomisers and batteries or do I just buy the replacement coils for them? if I do how long do the clearomisers last overall or do you just keep re using them? I just want to plan out if I need to buy any extra bits this month, ive got enough e liquid to last around 5-6 weeks but only ordered the kit and dont want to be stuck middle of january as we all know its a very long skint month!

Did you get it on the 'deal of the day' price?

You should expect your batteries to last at least 6 months, probably a year. 2 batteries is the bare minimum to have, so once you can afford it I would buy a spare!

I think you can just replace the heads on the CE5s so they should last a long time unless they crack. Again I would get a couple as spares or buy a pack of cartomisers!

It is really important to have back ups as you can't just nip around the corner to spar for them

Thanks Karma yeah I got it on deal of the day + 25% discount code meant it came to about £15 cheaper than the crappy kit im using now! could kick myself for not coming here first! ordered 20ml e liquid from them then ive also got 10ml of vanilla custard on way 10 ml of menthol and 10ml tobacco still from my old kit lol think that should be enough to see me through for now.

So should I order a couple more clearomisers and another battery? I was thinking about another battery anyway as I wanted a more powerful one just in case. is there anything else I should order? keep seeing all sorts off different things which is confusing me what do the cartomizers do karma? are they just the same as clearomisers? I really like the clearomisers but should I order those as well? sorry for the million and one questions again!

Cartomisers, cheap and simple and work, handy to have in my opinion

there really is sometimes just too much choice

You know, if you got that kit for £15, I would be tempted to just order another full kit as back up. You'd have a spare charger then as well

2 clearomisers is probably enough, but another wouldn't hurt if you are making an order.

All of mine are intact and working just fine from new (all with replaced/rebuilt heads). Some of them are months old. I keep 3 or 4 in rotation as I'm fickle with flavours of juice. Ultimately, I'm working my way up to ALL vivi novas, so I'll put them all up for sale sooner or later, or give them away or something.

I started on Cartomisers. They are small tubes that house both the liquid (in a sort of filler material) and a coil (atomiser) to heat up and make the vapour. I always have a spare pack or two around. They are disposable but can be topped up (after an initial fill, which you must do properly.. )
Some folk can get weeks out of them. I only get a few days t.b.h.

A lot of e-cig systems rely on them, so they might still be the "main" method of getting liquid to vapourise.....

I'm new to this vaping lark but here are some thoughts from my short experience and from reading this forum for hours

You got 2 batteries, which is good, I have the same kit and the 2 batts last me all day ( your mileage may vary ) .

You can replace the heads in the CE5's so order some spares. The CE'5s won't last forever, even with replacing the heads ( it's really variable how long they will last some have had them going for months others not so long ). Watch out for the top and bottom bits coming away from the body, it will cause them to leak if that happens.

Some like cartomisers, I don't, but again it's about trial and error to find what works best for you.

You only have 1 battery charger, if that fails you can't charge replacements are less than a fiver so maybe a spare would be good.

Enjoy

Definitely a good idea. I'm gutted that I ordered that a couple of weeks ago But that's life you can never predict what's around the corner ???

Hard to believe. 2 batts, 2 CE5s, charger, liquid, heads.....

CRAZY..

If I hadn't received my Lavatube this morning (so I'm back to 3 batteries) I'd be ordering this as fast I you can say pay..pal...


Still, can't complain....got the LT mini body for £13.....

[Chrissie]

Completely agree - at that price, order another kit from them

[vapee]

they have 25% off too? i thought it was 12.5, looks like they have those phoenix bottom coils too

[Karma]

What's the code for 25% off?

[vapee]

i wonder if cakey meant it went to 25% off before tax when using the aaec code
those phoenix's r even cheaper than hc has em at the mo

[cakey87]

Sorry guys getting confused the kit was £17 after discount of 12.5% I was thinking of the before vat price! Doh! I ordered e liquid from vapertine I think it's called? That was 25% off with code so Ive got mixed up!Lol will have a look about tonight and decide if it's worth getting another kit or some seperate pieces I've seen a nice patterned ego battery and being a girly girl I'm a sucker for anything colourful and shiny! so may order that and a couple more clearomisers

Much as I can understand wanting to buy pretty batteries, but even for £17 to get another 2 bats, charger, 2 clearos, wicks, juice and another case, it's a no brainer
