i was thinking it wouldn't look right. are any of the chargers for batteries universal? or does each brands battery have a specific charger?

Hi Danny. Things could be worse; I mean, E-Lites charge twice as much as skycig for their cartomisers....

If I were you, I'd get used to vaping on your skycig and take it from there. The £10 deal includes the battery, 3 cartos and a charger....hardly a purchase to get depressed about. You can potentially refill the cartomisers with some e-liquid and see how you get on. The amount of puffs you get from a skycig will be variable....I'm sure they'll say they are equivalent to 30 fags or something, but that'll be an exaggeration. For trying vaping, give the skycig a good go! If you want to get into it, then ditch them for something better and cheaper.

I used E-Lites (= fail) , then JacVapour (better), and upgraded to a Riva to solve the "battery problem" that all look-a-likes suffer.

I'd imagine most of us use a fairly universal charger for ego/riva batteries and a different sort for charging plain batteries to go in "mod" e-cigs. As for the mini e-cigs, I expect most are not compatible with each other, then again if skycig is 510, it'll fit a few brands....but it'll be a slow/unpowerful charger

Usually a 510 charger will charge any 510 battery. However - Skycig have reversed the polarity on theirs, so do not use it for other batteries or try charging the Skycig batteries on a normal 510 charger

i was told e-lites were £8 for 80 cigarettes worth, which doesn't seem bad.i will have to see how i get on with the Skycig and go from there

Please don't believe that. E-lites cartomisers (tips or whatever they call them) are no different to other standard cartomisers - apart from the inflated price & non compatible thread

Yes, well this is the sort of marketing that are making E-Lites £30 million turnover a year.

E-Lites charge £3.99 for ONE cartomiser. If you puff it extremely gently for 1.5 seconds, it might do 400 puffs. However, almost nothing will come out.
If you vape it normally, it'll do less. I did once get 370 puffs out of one, but I couldn't actually see any vapour.

So realistically elites are more around 20-30 cigs rather than the 40 they clame? On UK Ecig Cabin they have an Ego-T starter kit including a 650mah battery, ce4 clearomizer, charger and tin for £14.99. Is this any good? ,not going to buy it now of course but depening on how i get on with the Skycig.
