VIP

[duckman]

Apologies if this has been covered as newbie to the site and on my 4th week with the VIP cigarettes.

Is anyone currently using these and think they're any good? I'm currently on 24mg as previous rollie smoker but for 5 x cartomizers they reckon its the equivalent to 200 cigarettes (so 40 fags per cartomizer) and it seems to be running out after a day??

i wasn't a heavy smoke before (possibly 10 rollies a day) so seems strange to be going through the equivalent of 40 fags in a day and a half!!

i keep the charger regularly charged so know its not a charger issue, but at this rate it will cost me a lot

anyone having the same issues?

Try about 15 fags per carto, they tend to exaggerate somewhat

You are describing what MANY people have found before.... to their cost; that the claimed capacity of most cig-a-likes are VASTLY overstated and they are very costly to run, most actually costing you more than smoking!

That is why we recommend the Ego or Riva so much where you can satify your 20 a day habit for under £20 a month.

Hello and duckman

I agree with what DiscoDes says can't go wrong with ego or riva and you will save a heaps

Hi Duckman, nice to meet you

you may be able to refill the VIP cartos with nic juice a couple of times. that would help keep your costs down while you think about upgrading to a better, cheaper to run system

Welcome duckman.

I am on day one of my riva (it arrived today) and loving it so far.

Looking at ongoing costs and it seems very reasonable. I kitted myself out for £60 with spare clearomisers and e juice and a lanyard.

Will keep you updated at how it goes.

Hi duckman

I don't really have anything to add to what has already been said, so I'll just say hi

Hi Duckman and welcome go on take the next plunge and get rid of the cigalike i was at first worried of what others will think of a strange thing in my mouth but i now take my vamo everywhere which is huge and i think i must now convert lots of people who are interested in what it is and want to try it:)

The Riva is a great piece of kit and worth every penny for beginner. It comes with a clearomiser and cartomisers, 2 batteries and a USB charge all in a neat little case. All you will need is juice.

If you just want to try a larger e-cig, one of these kits would give you a good idea, you already have your VIP as back up

the mAh rating is an indication of how long they last between charges, so the 2nd link battery will far outlast the first. Your VIP is probably about 180 mAh

VIP is yet another cig-alike company giving out misleading information. Equivalent to 40 cigs? Rubbish!!! Their juice, by the way, is £8 for 10ml. Rip off merchants.
