Help a newbie please

Hi, after spending hours reading forums and looking up e-cig`s my head is spinning ???.I have been trying to decide whether to go ahead and buy this e-cig..http://www.ivapour.co.uk/510-bottom-coil-set-manual.html ...For 16yrs i have been smoking 20 mayfair a day, in 1997 my lungs collapsed then in 2005 i was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma, now im out of that the time has come to get these fags to feck,i tried a disposable e-cig and was surprised i never touched a mayfair until the e-cig ran out that is.Also with the 510 bottom coil do i have to put a liquid in once the cartridges run out? as on the site i can not see any pre-filled ones.Any help would be appreciated thanks.

it's a cartomizer (carto) set. meaning you can refill them a couple of times before replacing them, probably. cartos are cheaper than atomizers which last longer (/take more refills). but you're best off checking with the supplier (i never tried this product).

Welcome mate

that kit looks like it would take other 510 atomizers/cartomizers. check that with the supplier, also. so if you like the batteries you can have a change of atty/carto type with what's otherwise the same kit.

Hi & Welcome

It says on the page you linked to that they can be refilled or you can buy pre-filled. Re-filling would prob work out cheaper. As its a 510 thread you can buy these
www.vapeescape.co.uk/kanger-510-lr-cartomisers-horizontal-coil-%285%29~225
or
www.vapeescape.co.uk/boge-510-standard-resistance-%285%29~145
which come fully empty so you can try other flavours without the left over flavour of the pre-filled.

Sky cig do a kit which with the discount code "quit38" works out at £12. The battery is not as powerful so will not last as long but it does come with a case that will recharge the batteries while your not using it so time between needing to charge could be similar? Im not to technical so not sure on this!!

I personally went for one of these
www.vapeescape.co.uk/the-ve-riva-1100-deluxe-kit~151 (allabout = 10% discount code)
Almost a month ago today and I have not had a real cig since it arrived! Its a lot bigger but I can get 2 maybe 3 days out of each battery without needing to recharge!

I know how you feel it confused me when I started!

Hello annie and Thanks, stanton thanks for the reply do you think this would be a good starter kit saving money from the fags? my eyes are red looking at all these diff starter kits, been looking for days.

You won't go far wrong with this one

[stanton]

as a vendor i'll leave someone else to answer that. but any kit will save money over fags if you don't go mad buying accessories and stuff you don't need.

Hi tmax and welcome to the forum. I think we can all probably empathise with what you're going through. My very first post was headed "soooooooo confused" but the good folks here soon had me on the right road.
To braek down your choices amongst all the kits you've looke at, consider the following questions.
1) does it have to look like a ciggy?
2) how and when will you use it... in other words at home, at work, out and about, at the pub etc
3) which is more important to you, battery life or the look of it?
4) how many fags are you smoking now?

If we can get a feel for some of these we can help you narrow down your choices

Hi and thanks onedayillquit to answer your questions

1) does it have to look like a ciggy? (No just the feeling of smoking)

2) how and when will you use it... in other words at home, at work, out and about, at the pub etc (would be home and out and about)

3) which is more important to you, battery life or the look of it? (defo batt life)

4) how many fags are you smoking now? (about 15-20 a day)

"soooooooo confused" yip thats where i am lol

tmax I think my Riva kit is awesome, so does any one that has tried it!! I have even got my nan in law on one now and shes smoked most of her life! Throat hit can be dependant on juice, Ive gone for all fruity/dessert flavours. Most are pretty smooth but I still know im "smoking" something. I use my Riva in pubs, work, walking about etc. If you getting the Riva have a look through these juices as well. They all taste just like the name suggests!
www.vapeescape.co.uk/grizwald%27s-mega-mix~204
I got the 10 pack when I first got my Riva and still have quite a bit of the original 10 left! So £25 for over a months worth of juice!! After 20 odd days I was in profit from not buying fags

OK that's good. So, we can rule out the cig-alikes and small battery models.
That puts us in the ballpark of batteries with a 650mah rating or higher.
At 15-20 a day you will want to start on something around 18mg nicotine strength.
In all honesty, I think the riva kit mentioned above would tick all your boxes. It is what many of us ended up buying as our first proper e-cig and although you can end up buying more and more kit I don't know anyone who regrets starting with these.

Hello & welcome Tmax

From your above answers to Oneday's questions, that Riva kit that Richdude & Annie linked to will be as good as perfect for you You will need to buy some e-liquid as well to go with the kit. if you buy from the vendor in the link don't forget to use discount code allabout to get 10% off.
