new starter

[yt5]

*very happy*Hi to all, I`ve only been vaporing for a week now and think finally "I`ve  found something to stop me smoking" thank god or what ever it may be. I`ve started with a vip photon tank premium starter kit and a bottle of British gold 2.4%, don`t know a thing about it apart from what on the box ??? Could  a member  tell me how many cigs are equivalent to the 1.6ml tank?

                                       are they ce4 clearomizer.?

 loads of help needed

Hello and yt5

Hi and welcome.

Welcome yt5

Talk of cigarette equivalent is a big no-no on many forums, as people's vaping style differs and there are things we don't fully understand.

HOWEVER, thanks to some research in Canada and notes I have been making for over a year, we are nearer the truth.

1.6ml of 2.4% (24mg) liquid is 38mg before vaping. You won't get much more than 1.0ml before you need to refill.

1.0ml of your liquid is likely to give you (the yield) between 8-12 normal cigarettes and more if you smoke "lights".

Interestingly, VIP "suggest" their customers will use less than 1 cartomizer per day. (not that you use them)

A 20-a-day smoker following our ECO guide should aim to use around 18-25 cartomizers per month,

If you used the cartomisers, which probably also hold around up to 1ml, a 20 a day smoker would actually need to buy nearer 60 a month.

Using 18-25 a month (which is "made up" numbers, I can assure you) would lead to cravings and a massively reduced nicotine intake.

So, 1 tank for every 10 cigarettes is the best answer I can give you.

Hello, welcome and don't worry about not understanding stuff. There's so much to learn.. (I'm only 3 weeks in). I've no idea about percentages/nicotine levels or any of that. All I know is that I went from a pack of 20 a day to trying vaping with 0.6% nicotine and it's been great. No cigarettes since the day I took hold of my trusty innokin iTaste.

*bravo*Thanks to all. How long is the self-life of the juice once its open. In the box it states best to use in 30 days

Hi & welcome to the forum yt5

30 days is nonsense, shelf life is about 12 - 24 months, more if kept in the fridge and indefinitely if frozen, nothing bad will happen but the nicotine strength and the flavour will slowly decrease.

Keep it cool, and away from direct sunlight.

Welcome to you yt5.


I always say ignore cigs to eliquid used . . . vape until you feel nicotine satisfied, no matter how many tanks that takes. If it's keeping you away from sparking up, then that's all that is important, to me anyway.

Hello and yt5

hi and welcome yt5 as said before find the strength you are comfi with - and don't think too much about it - your body will tell you when it's time to lower the nicotine - for now enjoy vaping and the sensational feeling that you are off the stinkies
just don't buy too much of the same flavour - your taste might change - it did with many in here - me included

vaping is a wonderful hobby that has replaced a horrible addiction - and as all hobbies - the beauty is in exploring

Welcome yt5 from another new user.

I too am off the stinkies from 20 a day and starting to feel a whole load better.

[yt5]

*dance*I WAS smoking between 8-10 tabs a day(early days yet) I was smoking outside in the garden as I have children and believe there is no need to smoke near them, been doing this for 13 years now and feel a bit strange sitting vaping in front of the laptop although .I do still pop outside. Time to go and learn more from the forum thanks again all
