Wow, it's a minefield!

[cambermam]

Love it thanks! Right i've ordered the 1100mah Ego for £29.71.

So 10ml should last about 5 days right? And it comes with 2 atomizers and 5 carts, which when i've used them i want cartomizers so £5.79 for a pack of 5 (and they can be refilled over and over?).

So now i need to get those and the liquid which is £22.

Where is the seriously cheap liquid you speak of? Link is the same

Thanks so much!


edit - oh hang on, i need a drip tip?!

[superdon]

Yep get a drip trip. Much better with one although mine is loose and keeps falling off!

[cambermam]

Thanks i'll get one now, what does it do??!

I don't know what flavours to get. Smoking sweet things seems weird to me but that's cos i've never vaped any flavour!! I ordered a tobacco one with the starter pack just to try it out although i know most people say they're pants. And i ordered VG/PG mix cos i didn't know which to get.
The liquid alone is a minefield ha!

The drip tip is used for either direct dripping into an atomiser (just 2 or 3 drops at a time), instead of using a cartridge. However, drip tips are also used with cartomisers after you have filled them, remove the white bung on the end of a cartomiser & replace it with a drip tip - far more comfortable to vape with as cartomisers can get quite hot.

The atomisers you get with your starter kit should last from a couple of weeks to a month each. Maybe longer, maybe less. Cartomisers can be refilled several time, but they are classified as disposables & depending on how much you vape, will each last from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Some folks make them last even longer.

Whoops how did I manage to relink. I meant these guys: vapourworld.co.uk/shop/category_8/Fuel-%28eLiquid%2C-SmokeJuice%29.html?shop_param=cid%3D%26

£10 - 14 for 50ml of liquid is like...woah

I use their ry4. It's a strange almost woody taste with a sweetness to it. It reminds me of virginia tobacco that's slightly wooded and sweetened. Quite nice, a lot more tobacco-y than other ry4's I've used so far.

There's also the guys on this thread I've yet to try: allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=4862&page=1

But I think I will when I need more liquid. 90ml for £20, whaaaaattttt

[Gordy]

as far as e-liquid goes i would suggest a few small 5ml bottles of various flavours so you can get an idea of what you like ...there are some great deals on larger bottles but what you dont want is to end up with a huge bottle of something you hate ...could be worth looking in the classifieds here for people selling unwanted juice

[Perpetua]

I'd agree with Gordy . . . as tempting as it is to go for the bulk economy size of juice, you'll find your taste buds changing the more you vape and the less you smoke ciggies.

The 5ml Pick n Mixes are a great way of trying out a few flavours without being lumbered with loads that you may not enjoy.

[kingsley]

My advice, based on personal experience and so anecdotal, not subjective - would be to wait a few weeks to try new flavours. In your first few weeks vaping you sense of smell and taste will still be compromised from the smoking but as you cut down (and maybe eventually quit) the analogues it will become sharper. For standard food and drink even more than for vaping juices.

My suggestion would be that your highest priority is to work out what strength you like to vape at and your secondary one is whether you like PG or VG or a mix and in what ratio. Of course all of these things may change according to time and even be specific to certain flavours. But until you get to a point where steak and asparagus and parsnips and coffee and wine and fruit juice etc. suddenly start having depths that were hidden during years of smoking, I do think that trying subtle flavours is likely to be a disappointing experience. Finding a bold flavour you like (probably one close to whatever brand of tobacco you smoked but not necessarily) and then testing to see what level of nic works best for you, seems to me to be the best early solution.

Of course this is all based on my personal experience when I started vaping 3 months ago. On what I think I did well and wish I had done differently. Your mileage may vary. What might be right for some might not be right for all. Etc.

Hope this helps rather than confuses. If the later, please ignore.

[Chrissie]

I think that's excellent advise Kingsley

[cambermam]

Thanks for all the advice, i haven't ordered anymore liquid yet but i got my ego today so will need to.

Now, i'm sat here with all the bits in front of me and i have no idea what to do. Do i just drip some of the liquid into the fluffy bit??

[leftfield]

here's a video tutorial on how to fill 'em.

You'll want about 25 drops in the cartomiser to start with then keep it topped off with maybe 4 drops straight onto the white filler after that.

[cambermam]

Oh yeah, doh - didn't think of checking youtube

Thanks

[leftfield]

Oh, I just thought, are you using cartomisers with them or are you using the atomisers that came with it?

Cartomisers are one piece but atomisers are two piece with a long tip that comes off that has the white stuff inside.

If you have an atomiser it's different. You just need to put about 10 drops of liquid into the white wadding in the removeable piece then put about 4 drops straight into the atomiser, then put both pieces back together. Try to line the edges of the mouthpiece up with the silver mesh inside the atomiser so they wont be touching as it could melt the plastic.

[cambermam]

I'm using whatever came with it. the atomizer is the bit that screws off when i charge it, right? and it has a bit of tin foil type stuff in.

[cambermam]

Thanks for that, i tried looking for a tutorial but the vids i found were really crap and i couldn't hear them well or see what they were doing. I feel like a total dunce now. I'm not sure what this means:
"Try to line the edges of the mouthpiece up with the silver mesh inside the atomiser so they wont be touching"

edit - ignore me, the penny dropped just after i posted lol!
