I was staying at my mams and ran out of juice for my e-cig. Where I live is packed with shops and stalls dedicated to vaping, my house is about 5 mins walk from a reliable Dekang stockist which is great. Where my mam lives is a bit more sparse for options. I decided the only thing to do would be to go to Tesco and grab a disposable cigalike until I got back home, but then my mam spotted a stall selling Socialites vape gear. I was intrigued and went over for a look. They have a decent range of flavours, all the basics you would expect I suppose. The woman at the stall also had samples that I could try before deciding.
First problem was the price. At £8 for 15 ml I was quite shocked, considering I was used to spending less than a fiver on 20 ml of Dekang. "That is the equivalent of 300 cigarettes", the sales woman knowingly told me. I lumped it though, as there wasn't much other option other than a similarly priced disposable e-cig which would taste nasty. I crossed my fingers that the flavour would be unreal and totally worth it.
Second problem: she didn't have any other than in med (1.6%) and high (I think that was 2.4% maybe?). I'm used to vaping 0.6-1.2% so I wasn't keen on upping the nicotine but not much choice.
The flavour on the other hand is really nice. It's.. well.. strawberry. After vaping all day I could still taste it, which was nice. Even though the nicotine meant I couldn't vape too much of it, it was still enjoyable. The vapour was nice and thick too, comparable to Dekang.
I doubt I'd buy this brand again because of the price. If it were a few pounds cheaper it would be worth it, but as it stands I'm happy enough with other brands to switch to these.

Hi emiryNothing surprises me with the infamous "Socialites". The second most expensive cartomizers in the business. They have reduced them to £9.99 (from 14.99 i.i.r.c.) which is too much. (Twice as expensive as necessary) Extortionate liquid prices too. Last time I bought 3 x 10ml bottles, I paid £7.20. (Twice as expensive, again). I guess when needs must, we take what we can. Quite where a salesperson gets the idea that 15ml is 300 cigarettes I don't know. I think these companies just make stuff out of thin air. it's good you enjoyed the flavour... at least there is a positive.... ...good honest review, so thank you.
