Padiho, so sorry to hear about your father, just appreciate him while he is still with you! My mum was 93, still driving until her 92nd birthday and still doing her cryptic crosswords right up to the last 3 weeks, so she had a good life but still hard to let go. Karma, that looks a good deal - that's James Stirrat's site, isn't it, I bought some stuff from him the first time round and he was always good value, does he still post on here? Thanks all of you for your good wishes - now I just have to start! cheers Gilly Gilly, James (Paradise Vape's) mainly posts on faceache these days The kit of his that Karma linked to is a bargain. It may not last as long as some of the better ones, but it will last you far longer than a pack of real ciggies for similar price Edit, sorry Karma, I crossed posts with you

Okaaay - I ordered the kit from James as recommended by Karma, it arrived a few hours ago - super quick! - and it's charged up. I ordered the musical notes one because I've always sung in choirs, glad I did because they seem to be out-of-stock now. It's lovely and shiny - I can see where you all get "shinyitis" from!
Now, silly question time - is it ready to use? The rather sparse instructions on the back of the card tell you how to refill, but say nothing about filling which suggests there is already liquid in, but I can't see any liquid, and the wick thingy looks dry to me. This newfangled stuff is quite different from what was available 3 years ago!
James has kindly sent me a free bottle of e-liquid (love that guy and his free gifts, he once sent me some lovely long silver metal beads which look great with a black top!) so no problem there, but thought I'd better check with you all first before I do anything silly!
cheers
Gilly

Gilly you will have to fill the clearo with the e-liquid before you use it

Thanks for replying so promptly, Karma, you're a star! So, it's filled now, all I have to do is smoke it (sorry, vape it!) I'll let you all know how I get on. cheers Gilly

Gilly yes, once the clearomiser is filled you are ready to go Just click the button either 3 or 5 times to turn the battery on & then hold the button down while inhaling

Gilly let the liquid soak the wicks for about 15-20 mins before using & try not to let the liquid go below 0.8 markings on the side of the clearo or you will get a burnt taste, wash them out & let them dry overnight every 4/5 days to keep optimum taste

Does that mean that you chuck away the 0.8 worth of juice each time you wash the clearo? I just vaped for 5 minutes, then lit a stinkie. Whoops.

By the way, I really like the name 'stinkie'. So much more descriptive than fag or cig, and analog(ue) just sounds silly. Stinkie sums it up far better and reminds me of why I'm starting vaping again. I think it may take a while though . . .

Must admit I don't wash things out very regularly Gilly, I just vape through a flavour change . . . if something starts to taste a bit funky or the vape goes off, then I might think about cleaning it. Although if the coil head isn't replaceable, then I just bin whatever it is and start again.

Does that mean that you chuck away the 0.8 worth of juice each time you wash the clearo? I just vaped for 5 minutes, then lit a stinkie. Whoops. Sorry, had to have a wee laugh at that. I got a free sample of the Pina Colada from paradise vapes, and it was lovely. Nowhere near strong enough for me though. Maybe it's a nicotine level issue your having when you decided to spark up immediately after vaping. I know if I'm vaping 16 or 18mg juice it doesn't touch the sides. Fire in the 36mg and I can really feel it then. But I will admit, a lot of my nicest flavors are in 18mg, but then I just get to vape more...

Haha no Gilly if its still tasting ok just refill it to 1.6 mark, if you have another clearo ready just tip out the 0.8 into the clean clearo & then top that up, if the juice didn't taste right (burnt) then i'd throw it away, you will soon get the hang of it
