Help needed please - I'm a floundering newbie!

[emmita]

Hi, well I did it too, but unfortunately got caught up in the scam of a free kit and all that entails!!!  However, I am dealing with it, so hopefully will be back on an even keel shortly with not too much expense!  I asked the vendors if the cartomizers can be filled with e-liquid, and they said not ( of course!).  But I am sure they can be.  However, there is just SO much info out there ( and here) I am just not confident enough to try.  Below are three photos of the type of e-cig I have.  I have to say that I am enjoying the vaporizing experience, but want to try the other flavours available in e-liquid form.  Could you please take a look at my photos and suggest how I can refill.  And also, if I can find compatible cartomizers in the UK for this model which will not cost an arm and a leg.  Many thanks for looking.

Hello and welcome emmita, Of course you can refill them with whatever e-liquid you want, I think what you have
By going with your pic's is 901 cartomisers. You can rinse them through let them dry then refill them.

Hello Emmita

If you take the white bung out of the carto you can refill the wadding inside it, avoiding the centre hole!

Have you signed up for a direct debit or a continuous payment? If a DD, then cancel it with the bank. If a continuous payment where the vendor has the long number on your card, you may be as well to cancel the card and get a new one!

Hello & welcome Emmita

I reckon that will be an RN4081 thread - as good as impossible to buy cartomisers for it in the UK

Banky, it can't be a 901 as a 901 carto has a female thread.

Thanks for your prompt answers - I should have known of course, there's nothing like a free lunch........what crooks those people are! And yes, I have cancelled my card. May I ask Banky, for the name of a site where I can get the 901 cartomizers,(both ready to go and empty) I assume also I could get a new battery when needed from the same suppliers. Sorry for all the questions, but I had had no idea there was such a lot of stuff to find out about this vaporizing. I am 70 years old, so better later than never to have discovered it. Had it for just a week now, and already feel the benefits of no tar and other chemicals things, whilst still getting a good shot of the old nicotine!

Oh dear, Chrissie, just seen your reply!  Looks like I will have to make the best of it for as long as possible then start again with something new.

Agree with Karma, cancel now even if it's beyond the 14 days...argue with them if they get shirty

Sorry Chrissie, been a long time since I've seen these glad you came to the rescue.

wonder if there's an adapter!

[kibbster]

Hi emmita sorry to hear you got ripped off by these scam merchants
You can of course refill those carts with any liquid but eventually they will die and need to be replaced and you may run into problems getting replacements.
As Romelee said the Riva 1100 will fit pretty much anything on the market so parts are much easy to replace as they are semi consumable anyway.

if you want something that is close in size to what you have the SD type from Vape Escape are 510 thread and will fit any carto and they are cheap to replace and easy to refill.

Hi emmita, sorry you got ripped off x x

No adapter available in the UK either

Banky, nothing to apologise for - I've got some old 901 atomisers I'm using at the moment, so it was easy for me to remember they come with a female thread

Emmita, there is a slight chance that they are the most commonest 510 thread as they also have male threaded cartomisers, but I doubt they are as that's one of the ways they get you - ie you have to buy replacements from them However, you should be able to refill the cartomiser several time with e-liquid.

And do ring up your bank to make sure they can't take any more money out of your account., they know every trick under the sun - have a read of the pinned thread about the so called free trials -

Hi Emmita, i did not even know there were these scams out there, how do they work?

I am glad i found the forum first.

Hopefully things will sort themselves out now you have cancelled your card.

Another vote for the riva, we have had so many happy people on here after they get there riva kit as it is so much better than what you are using now.
