Hi everyone,
I don't wanna sound like an amateur but I've been left really confused after reading so many different things on different sites!
I'll start by just running through what I've got and thats the Jacvapor V1P kit, I have 2 65mm V3i batteries.

Firstly, from what i've read JVs batteries are different to everyone else's so I HAVE to use their cartomisers is this correct?

This wouldnt be a problem for me as I'm at the stage where I've been buying E-liquid and refilling blank carts, I got my first e liquid a few of months ago from JV and filled my cart according to their instructions, but i've been looking at other eliquid websites and most of them say I onl have to use 5ish drops of juice whereas JV says 25-30, this is a massive difference is this because of their liquid being weaker or is it to do with their carts or batteries?

I'm really into flavoured liquid more than anything (so things like apple, cola ect) and have found some websites with really nice selections I wondered if anyone had any experience with any of them, The ones I found were smokshop, enjuice and also a site that does wizmix flavours. Are their liquids any good and if not could anyone recommend a uk site or brand with this kind of flavour?

One thing about enjuice I liked was you can have a VG/PG mix, i've heard this is the best way to go for a good amount of vapor and good flavour too, am I right in thinking that? Do any other sites give this option?

Lastly, my cigs havent been giving as much vapor or flavour as they used to, what could this be down too? could it be the liquid is older or could the batteries need replacing, they have been doing this even on a full charge...

Thanks in advance and sorry for so many questions!

Hi Craig 

And welcome here ,for sure you are in the best E cig forum as it have loads of info and lot of experience pl who can help us. I have a JV Vip kit which I purchased more than a year ago ,infact I started with it . Now I got the Vgo Manual kit which I can see a big difference in Vapor. I did got this again as I had left carts in 808 thread and instead of getting an adapter I went back to JV.For sure JV have good customer care 100% but I guess there is more to improve in their e cigs. I use to get the 55mm carts on the V3i batteries and they work too. If ever you are out of carts and your in the way in getting a new e cig I guess better to switch on the other thread as what other recommended and what I 'll be doing in the coming weeks as well

I can't believe I missed this thread, I am slacking.

Yes, you can only use 808 kit (cartomisers) with your JacVapour batteries, unless you can find another supplier of 808 thread cartos. Ukecigstore sell them, so do some others, but most are simply selling up their stock.
I'm afraid the days of 808 are coming to an end. I don't know whether JacVapour are deliberately avoiding the move to 510 or think that "tying in" their customers is good in some way.
Personally speaking, as soon as I worked out I'd bought a system that was not universal, I took the decision to use up my supplies and never go back.
The cig-a-like batteries, although better than some can get weak in a few months, and then what are you going to do? Those V3 150mAh batteries are £11.99. they are £2.00+ wholesale price.....

You can only fill cartomizers so many times, and replacing these batteries will work out expensive. Old cartomizers or weak batteries will ruin your chances of a decent vape.

I like JacVapour (I really do) and IF a V3 PCC kit is your ultimate destination for replacing tobacco with e-cigs, that's great . If not, start to think about other possibilities. When I upgraded from JacVapour to a Riva kit, I also invested in a pair of Joyetech 510 batteries from Vape Escape, so I could keep the little e-cigs with the cartomisers. Just moved straight across from 808 to 510. They are still powering away after 9 months. I suspect a Joyetech 510 (280mAh, manual) is far better than anything in 808 automatic.

You could even go for a Kanger e-smart kit. Going to last far longer and work out far cheaper in the long run.

or just do what most people end up doing and buy an eGo battery (or 2) with 510/eGo fitting and stop larking around with PCCs and 2 hours batteries.
