first off hello to everyone hope you all having a good day 
i am paul been vaping a week now and can manage on about 3 stinkies during the day not good i know but i was on about 40 a day just 1 week ago 

i bought the crystal clear vapour starter kit from the local market for £22.50 and so far so good i have just been using the liquid i got with the kit when i bought it the guy said that the clearomizer lasts usually around 4 weeks and he sels new ones for a fiver no big expense compared to what i am saving at the min what i was wondering is if i buy a 3.5 ml tank do these just last about 4 weeks or are they longer lasting 

many thanks for any tips and comments you can supply 

Hi Jellypaul.

Is it an ego battery kit? and you are using an "included" clearomiser, yes?

If so, I'd take any comments about longevity with a large dose of salt. My first ever clearomiser didn't last very long (less than a day, less than an hour in real vaping time) but since then it's been plain sailing.

The length of time the atomiser head section will last is hard to predict accurately. Firstly, I just presumed the wicks soaked up the juice enough to always keep the coil wet....I was wrong, it's not a perfect system. Most clearo users are well used to swooshing the liquid around.
Secondly, I was told a head could last up to 2 months.....well, yes it can, but not if you are only using one clearo.
Thirdly, dry-burning the coil (the wire inside the head) will clean off any gunk and extends the life.

If you'd like to get a 3.5ml clearo or tank system - will it fit on your battery? (some of these are rather wide and go better on "fat" batteries or lavatubes or Vamo/Evic "mods".....)

I can't say for sure, but if I was the only vaper left on the forum who used clearomisers, and you came on asking for me to guess "how long?" I'd say less than 1 week on certain juices, 2-3 weeks comfortably using cleaner juices and over a month if you are prepared to dry-burn off residue. I used to dry-burn my clearos almost every day or two (3-5ml liquid), but now I am not fussed with a less than perfect vape.

Just make sure the next thing you buy is "re-buildable" so you can change the atomizer head (in a clearo) or carto (in a tank)....and stock up on spares.

from another Newbie, you will find all the advice you need on here, personally i'd get some spare clearomisers asap, especially if your still on the stinkies, if it breaks you will be back to square one.

Hello & welcome Paul

Another thing - if your e-cig came with only one battery, you need to get another
