I believe that any 510 cartomiser will fit the skycig, but you will have to stick with SR (standard resistance) ones.

Great, So as for refilling them Is It easy to do? What would I need?

You can refill them using any e-liquid with any type of bottle they come in - no real need to get the needles ones, though they do make refilling a tad easier

I'll tell you this now, before everything changes again, I started on a 10motives.......however......this is what I think is the current standard of vaping right now:

2 x eGo Twist Batteries 900mAh

You'll need a charger for the above batteries.

I use Innokin Cartomisers / Vision V3 Clearomisers

The most popular is currently the Vivi Nova Tank.

I doubt you can go wrong with this combination.

Here are a few links:

Ego Twist Battery

Charger

Cartomisers

Vivi-Nova

As for Juice:

There are so many.......I have used:

For suppliers, this forum has a good list:

E-cigarette & E-liquid Suppliers List.

If in doubt ask, and vendors can be phoned and you can get great advice. Just ask, keep asking

I've only just made it past 2 weeks - a big learning curve, but you can get much better than this forum

all the very best

Wow thanks very much for your advice, I really don't want to buy more bits and bobs at the moment though as I just bought the Skycig starter pack and Zebra premier pack so that will do me for now, Really like the Zebras and the Skycigs were so so.

I was lucky, after my disposable, I searched the forums, found VapeEscape, and cut out all the cig-a-likes - although i did get myself some Innokin Auto batteries just for out and about, these I have found to be brilliant!

I have found a lot of people end up buying a cig-a-like set, then upgrading, then upgrading, I've tried to avoid that, apart from I really have to get myself an eGo-Twist battery, they do seem to be very very good, improved vape and flavour with almost what ever you are using.

It's a long learning curve, and at times it is tough, have been very blessed by finding this place (okay it was pointed out to me lol)

I just cant believe how easy It has been to pack In the roll ups now since I tried out the e-cigs, They are truly amazing and I wish I found them sooner, In a 10ml bottle of e-liquid how many carts can It fill roughly? How many drips would I need to put In my cart? So many questions peeps and Its great and fascinating, Much more fun than going to the shops for your usual brand too and at a fraction of the price and for better health. I cant praise them enough and I have only just began!!

[timnowvapes]

A Cartomiser will hold just over 1ml of liquid.

When I first started, I found I needed to top up the cartomiser with 3-4 drips 3 times a day, then I found a cartomiser was lasting me about 10-14 puffs It is one reason why I moved over to a Clearomiser, very easy to fill, easy to clean, and with the right technique it works wonders.

I smoked roll ups for 17 years, one disposable and a shopping spree at VapeEscape, and bye bye rollies! Was very easy.

It is healthier and in one sense more enjoyable especially when you have an online community like this one to join

Maybe I should just suggest a Provari and a Penelope and be done with it

how did you find the flavour of your zebra... quite a few have tried the free trial and could help direct you in the direction of a juice flavour recommendation ...try and describe what you liked or didnt like about it... of course the great thing about vaping you you can vape any flavour imaginable ...just stay away from the crab flavour juice

Hi there vaperman welcome to the forum #7261_9485#

[Perpetua]

Ye gods . . . I need to step away from this computer now!

I've just put a Skycig in my basket and come very close to buying it as it's a bargain.

What am I like!

Hi Vaperman and #welcome2# from me too

You have been given some great advice alread especially about being able to use refillable cartos like these on the Sky cig

www.vapeescape.co.uk/boge-510-standard-resistance-%285%29~145

unfortunately they will not fit the Zebra. the prefilled Zebra cartos don't seem too expensive though, i think they work out around £1 each. How long are you finding a Zebra carto is lasting you?

[vaperman]

Hi guys Its proving difficult to thank you all for your warm welcome and advice but I wish to thank you all again.

Karma One Zebra cart Is lasting me the best part of a day, I've actually just bought 28 pre_filed next I want to practise filling one up as one of mine today Is really rubbish ( Prob a bad one )

@gordy I like the Vanilla on the Skycig and Have not tried the cherry yet, I also prefer ones with a nice tobacco flavour ( Bit like the zebra USA warm roasted one )

As a man who used to smoke amber leaf the taste does not seem Important for me at the moment, Its the good hit I like. My taste buds are probably not great yet though as Its taking me to taste the carts once they are done, Takes a bit of getting used to and realising when they are out. Hopefully that wont be a problem once my taste buds get fully restored.

[Karma]

If you're enjoying them and 1 carto is lasting you the best part of the day then that sounds good to me for £1

I think the thing about filling your own though is that there are just so many scrummy flavours out there to try. I often feel like a kid in a sweetshop when I go e-juice shopping

[vaperman]

I'm sure I will get Into the flavours soon as I like the Vanilla on the Skycig, My other half wants to quit too and she tried a zebra but choked her lungs up at the slightest puff, What would be causing that for her? The vapour? Or the strength of the nicotine?

[Chrissie]

More likely how she inhaled & her lungs not being used to vapour. Let her have another go & get her to inhale but hold thre vapour in her mouth fro a couple of seconds before taking it back.

[vaperman]

Hey Chrissie I got her to try that technique plus a few other ones, She Is getting on better with It but finds It to rough for her still. She has a Skycig kit on the way though with some nice flavours and less nicotine, Will see how she gets on with that.

[Chrissie]

Vaperman, the other thing she could try is e-liquid that has a higher percentage of VG in it. Or you could even buy a small bottle of glycerine from the baking section of a supermarket & cutting the e-liquids you have already bought with some of it. Just to see if it helps her.
