Newbie to ecig

[collie2011]

Hi nurseygirl I stealth vaped in the toilets of a scout hut this week haha. Just hold it in for longer so there isn't the cloud of vapour. Some juices smell, like the caramel ones they have a strong smell, I can smell them in the house for hours after i've been vaping them. Any battery should fit as long as it has a 510 screw thread (which is 99.9% of batteries) Paradise vape sell spare batteries for £5.50 +£1.50 p&p or if he still has them in, get one of the blister packs so you have a spare charger and clearo too.

It indicates the length of time your battery will run between charges Nurseygirl . . . the higher the number, the longer run time you will get.

Though the battery size does also increase a little with the higher mAH ratings.

The higher the mAh rating the longer the battery will last between charges!

A little cig-a-like will only be around 180mAh, Ego type batteries usually come in 650mAh, 900mAh or 1100mAh.

Hello & welcome, nurseygirl. Sounds like you're sorted for your starters now, so happy vaping.

Does anyone know if you can use them on a plane ? xx

To answer this, ask beforehand, but I believe that Ryanair sell e-cigs on board, so also allow the use of them.

mAh stands for milliampere's per hour

Or how long a battery can supply a current so 650 mAh means the battery could supply 650 milliamps for 1 hour or 1300 milliamps for half an hour

Think of it like a tank of fuel

1000 mAh = 1000 mA (milliamps) for 1 hour or 2000 mA for half an hour or 4000 mA for 15 minutes (in theory)

so 1300 mAh is twice the running time of 650 mAh on the same load.

So if you get 12 hours running out of a 650 mAh e-cig battery you should get 24 hours out of a 1300 mAh ecig battery if you used the same atomiser.

Generally the bigger the mAh rating of a battery the bigger (physical size) of the battery will be.

Thanks folks, you really are a helpful bunch of peeps

[nurseygirl]

Hi all sorry to be asking all the questions, what is the middle bit called, with the wick that you put the e juice into ? is it a cartomiser or atomiser ? thanks

[Chrissie]

nurseygirl, it sounds like you must have bought a kit with a separate atomiser & cartridge? Does the place you bought from have a website so we could check out what you have bought? If not, could you post a pic of it?

[nurseygirl]

Yeah i can take a pic..

[nurseygirl]

I tried but it wont accept the attachment as its too large.

[nurseygirl]

It's a clearomiser then Nurseygirl . . . you'll need a Photobucket account or similar if you'd like to post any photo's on the forum at a future time.

Is the part you attach to the battery a clear (or lightly coloured) plastic tank with a tube in the middle and some wicks?

I hope so. That's a clearomiser.
