Chrissie beat me too it, I was going to say exactly the same Jitesh.

Lol Perpy

Jitesh, Perpy is right, you can't really compare what it says on your cig packet to what strength juice you need. As well as us absorbing the nicotine in a different way, the nicotine in e-liquid is a % of the amount of liquid, rather than that of a single ciggie.

Hi Chrissie

Can you please explain what a Clearomisers and Cartomiser is?
Are these the same things? as i am totally confused now.
the kit i mentioned has
1 x Vision Ego Standard Resistance Clearomisers
5 x Standard Resistance Cartomisers
how and when do i use each of these c-misers
just when i thought i was getting grips with all this lol

[Perpetua]

They're both essentially systems for delivering your nicotine to you Jitesh, so they do the same thing just in a different form.

Cartomiser's have a wadding type material in them and a heating element, you need to have your filler thoroughly permeated with juice for them to work well and to keep them topped up with ejuice and moist.

Clearomisers, have a wick and coil, that again need to be kept moist with juice to wick well, there's the advantage that with a mini tank, you can see when you need to top up.

[Chrissie]

To add to what Perpy has said, cartomisers are the same as the "tips" you got with your e-lite. The vision ego is used as an alternative to a cartomiser.

Here is the pic of the contents of that kit, that I've labelled showing you what the different parts are -

[jitesh]

i think i prefer cleaormiser as you can tell how much ejuice you have left and if you need to fill up
will add these to my purchase as well.
how often do you need to replace cartomisers/clearomiser?

[Chrissie]

With that kit, you get 5 cartomisers & a vision ego clearomiser, so why not wait & see which you prefer before ordering any extra?

Cartomisers can be refilled several times & it depends on how much you vape as to how long they will last. I'd say on average, you should get a weeks use out of a cartomiser before it wimps out. The vision ego's last longer - some folks have kept them going as long as 6 weeks.

Hi jitesh if you like the idea of the clearo, you could always toss an extra one of these in with your order:

These are an older version of the clearo that you get with the kit, but they work fine. Might also be worth trying the lower resistance (2.1 - 2.4) version to compare - they should give you a bit more oomph.

Remember that as well as the discount code, if your order comes to £40 you get free postage

finally got the kit, looks nice
few questions:

1. whats the drip tip for?
2. how do i know, if and when the battery needs charging?

As i tried to use it without charging, as not sure if battery comes charged or not.
Puffed away but no vapor came out, also toggled with the 3 clicks.
Its slightly confusing, as i dont know when the unit is on or off.
can someone kindly advise what i am doing wrong

[Ellen]

the drip tip goes on top of one of the cartomisers, that's what you puff on when vaping, give it a solid push down and it will slot in.

The batteries come with a bit of a charge in them. Hold the button down and you will see that it turns blue, that means its working. If its switched off, when you press the button it doesn't change colour. The battery stops working when it's dead, it usually does a lot of flashing first to let you know it's dying.

You said no vapour came out, what were you using on it? The cartomisers or the clearomiser? How did you fill it with juice?

Keep the button pressed whilst inhaling

[jitesh]

do you have to keep the button pressed whilst inhaling??
i didnt know that, so whats the 3 clicks for?

using the cartomiser
