Once again, much obliged.

I know the batteries are the bit I really shouldn't be a tightwad about, so should just bite the bullet and squeeze one of the credit cards till it screams!

To all the gents who have been kind enough to respond to my plea - many thanks, most especially to Des. Brilliant info, could not have asked for better. Spent most of yesterday poking about in ECF, UKV and here, but decided here was the best place to ask for sensible advice. I was not wrong! OK, so I now have even MORE hot prospects to look into but have crossed a couple OFF the list in the shape of the iStick and Dovpo.

I'm very much seduced by the thought of the EVIC Mini, but not keen to wait too long before getting my toe into the murky waters of TC and the Mini means waiting! I need to look into the DNA40 and Sigelei 75 in greater depth, but also tempted by a sleek black SXK60 (mainly due to the Nickel Purity setting facility) or even the Heatvape Invader Mini - I'm a pretty clumsy mare at the best of times but that looks tough enough to survive me quite well...

Any further comments about these or any others still welcome, even if I may well be up all night looking into them! Thanks once again.

Hi Bizzmuth, welcome to the forum. I've been using these M3 clearos (and also the 510 threaded version) for several months now and found them excellent. 50/50 liquid should not be too thick and I have used all-VG liquid in them successfully as well, not found they need as much tipping-and-swirling as the larger capacity Vision/CE4+ types do either.

Wondering if perhaps the one you have started with has maybe a faulty top part as what you have described is not a problem that I've had with them myself. If you have more than one I'd try opening another and replacing just the top part to see if that makes a difference - you shouldn't have to muck about with one like this for it to work properly.

Your battery should be just fine for this clearo (definitely not too much voltage) but if you do get into these it may well be worth getting some of the M3 batteries to go with them. They look smashing together and last longer as well as they are 380mAhs.

Han, you should be fine having several puffs one after another. The downside can be that your e-cig may not keep up with you depending on exactly which one you're using - some put up with this better than others. The thing to remember if you take multiple draws and find it starting to go a bit dry and burny-tasting is that the liquid needs a little time to replenish to where the coil is located. If you give it 30 seconds or so then take another draw and that one's fine, that tells you that was the problem. If it is still hot-and-burny, time to refill or top up.

You do also need to be aware it IS possible to overdose on nicotine, same as you could have done with the smellies by smoking too many one after another. Personally, the first thing I notice if I'm overdoing it is my heart pounding away as if I'd just run up a long flight of stairs or I may feel slightly giddy. If you don't put it down and leave it alone then, you could start getting a headache which won't go away for a couple of hours and seems immune to tablets. Not fun, so best avoided!

Aside from that, delighted that you are enjoying your vaping so far and hope this will continue for you. Welcome to the ranks of the vaping community!

To be perfectly truthful, my biggest single problem is with what this company has chosen to call itself. They even have the fairly standard disclaimer showing which acknowledges that their products are NOT intended as smoking cessation devices. Why in the name of everything that makes sense did they choose to call themselves "ELECTRIQUIT"???

And even if some of the Chinglish product information just might be down to overenthusiasm and a rush to get the site live, there's no easy way to forgive an "About us" page which they MUST have written themselves being full of idiotic spelling mistakes.

The Echomisers are very good and I'd not want to put you off trying one out. They hold lots of liquid (2.3ml) which lasts for ages and can be refilled quite a lot of times before they start to taste 'meh', so work out as good value for the price. Changing flavours is a bit of a trial of patience as a result, probably not the best idea for trying out something new with either.

I'm very fond of the Kanger Horizontal coils myself, they're cheap and perform very well, also last pretty well too. Not such a disaster using one to try out new flavours if you decide you don't like it, either - they hold about 1ml. They are also available in either 510 or 901 threading but even the latter will require an adapter for an SD (901 - 808) due to airflow requirements if you want to give those a go.

Lots of people seem to like the eGo Vision/Stardust cartos, which are in the middle size-wise, holding 1.6ml. I've only just started trying out a couple of the longer-wicked V2 version so reserving opinion as yet - wasn't terribly impressed by V1.

Dual coil cartomisers come in various sizes and resistances, the lower resistance versions fizz and pop like the clappers but do produce terrific vapour. Some people just adore them, and they will last longer when used in the carto tanks you may have seen people mention because they are kept wet by this method.

If you have been happy enough with SR (standard resistance) there's no real reason to change. LR (low resistance) atomiser or cartomisers are intended to mimic the experience of higher-voltage vaping using standard batteries like SDs or eGos. It is supposed to produce a warmer vape in larger quantities with more throat hit but in practice it can sometimes just seem harsh and does run your batteries down faster too. LR atomisers very often only come with DOA warranties and aren't expected to have as long a lifespan so are slightly cheaper sometimes.

All cartos I know about only have DOA warranty, as some of them are getting a bit pricey (particularly the larger ones) this is beginning to seem a little unfair to my mind but the sellers are only passing on what their suppliers do with them.

Ha! That'll teach me to type so slowly - more posts appearing inbetween what I 'think' I'm replying to and the thing actually arriving!

Dave is utterly correct - just tried it and the Echomiser is working fine with that arrangement. The 901 - 510 fits on top of a 901 - 808 adapter without any problem, imagine I'd convinced myself that it wasn't going to give enough height for the skirt but it does. Thanks, Dave!

I'd say it is probably worth having a 901 - 808 adapter regardless, you will need one if you want to use any kind of 901-threaded carto on the SD as the 901 'native' fitting in SDs (unless they've changed them?) doesn't have the air holes in it which is vital for the cartos to function. Despite so many things having the 510 fitting these days, it's handy to be able to use either and means if your favourite seller has run out of something in 510 it's worth checking to see if they still have 901 threaded things.
