Hello all from a confused person :-D

[victye]

WOO-HOO!! Kit has arrived, Vapeland came through in tremendous fashion - added to my internet faves (along with here!) and I am trying desperately hard to avoid Fast Tech :-D

I have charged up and mixed the RY4 & Cappuccino flavours and what a lovely flavour experience, nothing like my Café Crème it has to be said but a great flavour nonetheless & another smoker has had a draw and really liked the flavour too. I have a feeling an expensive liquid and clearmoizer session coming on after reading some favourites of people on here (Blueberry in particular I think)

Thank you all again

Hi & vic

[victye]

Hi all - Just an update into my adventure.........

So, after buying the kit and using for a couple of weeks now my cigar smooking has certainly decreased (just got to knowck the morning one's on the head!) so that is a start.

I think I bought too much liquid to start, I am sure this is a rookie mistake! I like the RY4 and the cappuccino is ok-ish but after I put a swap request marcopando gave me some excellent advice on waiting for it to steep a while longer and try it with Dairy Milk or Ice Cream....another order placed :/

So far I have ordered extra to the starter kit then:

Fast Tech (is this the black hole of vapers wallets?! ) - Still waiting for delivery

2 x CE5 Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer
1 x EGO-C Twist 1100mAh Variable Voltage Rechargeable Battery for E-Cigarette

UK eCig Store
10ml Mixed Fruit (still to try) but that arrived today

and now on the back of the advice from marcopando to get some different eLiquid to mix up I ended up buying....

French vanilla icecream 5ml 
Ego ­ Riva USB charger lead 
Empty Squeezy Bottle with Needle Top 10ml 
Vision Ego V3 CE5 Clearomizer ­ BLUE CE5 2.4 ohms

The fun never ends LOL

My reasoning is of course that its cheaper than stinkies (?) and the extra tanks/clearomizers mean that I can have several flavours on the go to suit my mood!

Can anyone recommend anything I may have missed???

A bank loan?

I'd maybe wait and get some of your gear now Vic, before rushing into buying anything else. As tempting as that is and the lord know I give into temptation often enough myself.

I think once you get your Ego Twist you'll maybe want to be looking for Variable Voltage or Wattage devices myself, as the greater flexibility they give is well worth investment.

Congratulations to you also, delighted to hear it's going well!

I wouldn't worry about the morning cigars myself, took me several weeks before I could get past that first one of the day. You'll know when the time is right for you as well.

Happy Vaping.

tell me about it, but PayPal isn't real money....right........

I am bit confused again though, isn't the Twist a VV anyway? Or have I got it wrong again LOL

I though all I had to do was twist the base for different voltages?  This changes the throat hit doesn't it?

Also, I know that the 510/Ego fit seems to be quite universal, are there any batteries that can be recommended that would show how much charge is left? I am very wary about leaving a battery on charge unattended as everywhere I have looked there are massive warning signs about them melting/fire risk (although surely they all have safety features nowadays?)

I only ask as I don't seem to get very long out of the batteries I got in my starter kit and have to have them both with me and one on constant charge from my laptop

Thanks again

Hello and victye

[DiscoDes]

And a belated from me too

Welcome Victye and congratulations on reducing to just 1 morning smoke, that in itself is an achievement.

You're quite correct the twist is variable voltage. I have a couple of vv batteries but to be honest they're both permanently set to their lowest 3.3v setting for almost all juices. I have only recently found a couple of juices that work better at 4v.

I would suggest resisting the hardware urges (shinyitus) and spend your hard earned money on trying a fair few juice samplers instead. The secret of success is finding all day Vapes that satisfy as much if not more than the stickies.

It most certainly isn't real money Paypal, you're absolutely correct there Vic. Sadly the PayPal bills are real enough though.

The Twist is indeed Variable Voltage, it's worth experimenting a little with the voltage setting to find what suits you, the eliquid you enjoy and what you're using on top. This can vary from one vaper to the next. I don't tend to go much over 4v's myself, otherwise everything just tastes burnt to me. But you'll find what suits you best I'm sure.

I was thinking more along the lines of a ' Mod ' device where you have VV and VW, plus a battery checking facility  . . . but that's probably getting a bit ahead, I'd really wait until you get your gear and see what you think of that first.

Cartomizers are called cartomizers because they are a combination of cartridge and atomizer. In a cartomizer, the atomizer is a coil that stretches through the center. It is wrapped in a fibrous filling. You soak the filling with liquid, and this allows it to slowly wick on to the coil. In my experience, cartomizers are the most consistent when compared to tanks and atomizers, but they are also the most difficult to refill. MyFreedomSmokes has the Plunger, which makes refilling them much easier. 

As for the e-liquid, my recommendation is always that you mix you own. It is much cheaper this way, and you are in complete control of what goes into your e-juice.

If you need a battery that will last all day, eGo batteries start at around 650 mah and run up to just over 1000 mah. mah is a measurement of electrical charge, so the higher the mah, the longer the battery lasts in between charges. Depending on what type of atomizer/cartomizer/tank you use, a 650 mah battery should last you at least one full day. I always carry a fully charged back-up battery with me just in case.
