I want something smooth and creamy, not harsh. I guess the only way to know is to try them?

Suggestions great fully received .

I reckon Grant's Vanilla is the king of sweet and creamy. (I know, predictable...)
Jack the Ripple runs it close.
I regretted buying anything "Baileys" so would recommend you blag a sample of it off someone (I may not have enough to worth posting).
Alchemist does some good sweets.

I've got some "fruits" which will be looking for a home, but i.i.r.c. they are only 12mg.

[Smokeybebe]

Have ordered a sample of Grants Vanilla Custard to try, I've got a good feeling about it
I've also bagged a free sample of something fruity, so will see what arrives.
I've decided not to try the Baileys though.

After some initial teething problems, I'm loving my e-cab . I discovered that if you put the batteries into the USB charger the RIGHT way round, they charge and make the e-cab more satisfying

I've also mastered the vamping technique and found that if I drag slowly and smoothly, as opposed to a quick hard suck (quiet at the back there!), I don't get a mouthful of something I don't want. (this is your last warning at the back! > )

Subsequently I've only had one roll-up today so far, and three yesterday.

I'm just waiting for my new juices to arrive, but in the meantime I've managed to dilute the Virginia juice a little. It's not ideal but better than it was.

So, now I have a few little questions

If I buy the adapter for the e-cab, what does this actually open up to me in terms of what I can buy? Do I still use the clear mouthpiece bit? Same battery's etc?

Thanks again all.

so glad you quoted yourself, that could have been the quote of the century

[Chrissie]

Sounds like you are doing really well Smokeybebe

If you buy the eCab to 510 adapter, it means you can use any standard 510 cartomisers or clearomisers on you eCab battery, in place of the ecab atomiser & cartridges.

You would use the same battery but would be able to use diferent things on top with your juice in, anything with a 510 fitting like this

this has an ego fitting so not sure if it would work with the adapter, Jason would be able to tell you

Well, 5 minutes after I posted earlier, Mr Postie very kindly brought me my Grants Vanilla Custard sample. SUch a fast delivery from ordering on Sunday, what a great service!

Anyway....I've not stopped vaping since it arrived. I just can't stop!

I LOVE IT

Gorgeous , very moorish, not harsh at all, my e-cab may have to be surgically removed from my mouth! I'm even licking my lips in between vaping, just to taste vanilla custard on them. Will definitely be ordering a larger amount! I've still only had the one roll-up today too, is the nicotine content high in it, cuz I've had zero cravings?

Will be ordering the Lemon Meringue one too, if I can only remember whereI saw it

Also just ordered a carry-case and spare batteries for the e-cab. I can feel a bit of a spending addiction starting to take hold.

Im thinking of filling a few mouth- bits (don't know what to call them, lol) with different juices, with a little label on them stating the flavour, so that I can swop them about when I want. Is it ok to store them like that, or will the flavours of the other juice come through when I swop it over? I'm just thinking, for example, that if I went to the village pub , I could have one juice before I eat, then swop it for Vanilla custard or some sweet juice, for dessert?

[dave]

Ah the mouth bits
You can certainly fill them and swap - they will keep for weeks. An alternative to labels is to get the adaptor and V3's that karma has lnked to ^^^^^ and then you can have a different coloured one of them for each juice

[sarahthesinger]

I use the V3 rainbows and I love 'em. I have a couple of different colours on the go, along with a Nova STV, and they all have different flavours in them.

One thing I discovered by accident is that changing from one flavour to another in the same cartomiser (the mouth thingie!) can give you some nice surprise mixes if (like me) you're too lazy to wash them out each time. The vanilla custard is great with blackberry for example. Mmmmmmm! Now I'll often mix a couple of different juices in the cartos - it's like having a whole load of extra juices available. If in doubt, hold 2 open bottles up (but not right up each nostril) and if they smell nice together they'll probably taste nice too.

Give it a go!

Hi all, it's me again!

I'm having a few problems with my ecab that I'm hoping you can help with please.

First off, I'm still LOVING vaping generally, and especially loving Grants Vanilla Custard! But here are the problems.....

I'm finding that I'm having to recharge the batteries, like, A LOT! It seems that every few hours I have to change the battery? I've bought spares, so I always have 2 charging, but it seems a battery won't even last a night-out?

But the biggest problem I'm having is that the Ecab seems to constantly leak a bit, I'm forever having to wipe it off? And it gets all over my hands? I'm making sure its done up properly but nothing seems to stop small bits leaking out? And going into my mouth.

Also, every drag produces a horrible, loud gurgling sound, which is a bit embarrassing when in public

I'm trying to make sure the mouth bit isn't full of condensation , but gradually it seems to fill up with condensation anyway, is that normal?
It sounds like water going down a plug at times! ???

I really like the look of the ecab and want to try to persevere with it, but if I can't solve these little annoying problems I might have to get a different kit.

I'm not totally off the stinkies ( look at me, using the terminology I've read on these brilliant forums! ) because of these little problems, although I'm still only smoking a couple a day. I'm sure if I get a handle on this, I will be off them for good though.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

[Chrissie]

The ecab battery is only 350mAh, so it will need recharging often - better than a ciggie lookalike that is usually only about 180 mAh, but no whhere near as long lasting as a Riva 1100 mAh for instance.

Don't know anything about the ecab atomisers & cones, but cartomisers that I & others use, do crackle & pop & it actually becomes a sound you love as it means they are working well

[djs]

I'm no expert on eCab, but wasn't it a hybrid idea, using a different sort of battery?

Maybe you could just buy a few batteries in the same way folk do with "mods"..... ???

[giles]

Glad you are still loving your vaping smokey

I'm afraid there are only two solutions to the battery problem - get lots of spares or get something cigar-sized (like the Riva). Or something seriously large like a Vamo. It is easier than you think to get used to it.

I don't know the ecab. A lot of tank systems do leak a bit. Some of them are best kept vertical, not tipped too horizontal when you vape. I guess most of us have a tissue and give them a wipe every time we refill (but yours is quite a small tank so you have to do it more often).

Some things you vape on gurgle, some whistle (like the one on Lewis tonight) some crackle and pop. And some are quiet. It does depend a bit on how you vape as well. Often you can get rid of the gurgle by blowing through the tank (onto a piece of tissue) before you attach it to the battery. You may be getting juice at the connection too - take a Q-tip to it and see.

Condensation is normal with a lot of tanks, but some are worse than others, and if I understand what you've got, yours is at the worse end.

I think you should get a bigger battery and better tanks. A Riva kit will do that for you at a good price (there is better stuff yet, but it costs more and is more complicated, and the Riva should do you for quite a while). I think that you would be pleased not only with the battery life, but also with the taste of the vape. You will probably lose the gurgle too.

[Smokeybebe]

Thanks for all the advice.

I do actually think I'm gonna get the Riva kit after all. should've listen to you all in the first place!

I'm kind of getting a bit fed up constantly refilling the ecab, maybe I'm just vaping too much!

Am I right in thinking the Riva will last a whole lot longer than the ecab between filling?

Thanks again, good, speedy advice as always from fellow- forumites?

[giles]

The bad new is the Riva kit is out of stock. :(See allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=newmembers&action=display&thread=17616

The Riva is the battery - it will last a whole lot longer between charges. The vapeescape kit includes a Vision ego clearomiser, which holds about 1.5ml of juice. Not sure what your tank holds - think 1 ml

Forumite will do. I'm knd of small.

What about trying this?

Not a great outlay to see how it will compare
