We should start a campaign against whistle tips!

I hate them >

But what really annoys me is so many devices that are designed without allowing the option of using a tip of your choosing. Drip tips are cheap and everyone ends up with numerous different ones... so why do so many designers limit their market by not using a standard drip tip fitting

I started with Greensmokes cig-a-likes which got me off smoking in 2 days and are actually very good.

When I started, it was a bit of an impulse decision and I deliberately avoided researching on forums because I suspected that would just lead to an overwhelming number of options and different opinions which would probably have resulted in me not trying anything. I am SO glad I did that because now that I know just how many options there are and how confusing it can be I know that is what would have happened.

After a couple of weeks I started looking at other options. I was happy with Greensmokes, the flavours in the carts are very good (still the only tobacco flavour I have liked so far) but a little pricey and not really refillable. The main reason I ended up looking around is that with just 2 batteries, charger juggling was becoming a pain and the replacement batteries are very expensive at £20 each so I wanted to know what other options are available.

And that opened up a whole new world to me that I didn't know existed

Initially I was just looking to see if I could get replacement batteries at a more reasonable price but soon discovered that they use a different fitting to everything else.

So my next move was a JacVapour PCC kit with Kr808D-1 batteries and carts. To be honest, this was really not an upgrade in many ways... it was better to have the PCC for charging and great to be able to easily refill the carts... but the vaping experience is inferior. So although I still use these on the rare occasion that I am not shackled to my desk, it's a purchase that I regret.

By this time I was hooked... not just on vaping instead of smoking but on vaping as a hobby with all the obsessive desire to try all the shiny things that comes with it

My first proper upgrade was a Mini Argento. Of course, once you start on that road you realise "I have a great battery device, now I need to try every possible thing to put on top of it... and every possible juice to put in the things on top of it".

When I discovered that my throat is very sensitive to vapour temperature I decided to try VV to find what works best for me. I was considering a LavaTube, but Macca wisely suggested an Ego Twist instead... and I am very glad he did since I am very happy with it (and just ordered another )

For now, I think, I am going to be happy with my Argento and a couple of Twists. There are still a million and one different juice holders to try though... and even more juices... so the shopping continues but at a slightly decreased rate now that I am starting to find a few things that I am happy with.

I daren't count how many juices I have tried so far... it is well over 100 though. So far I have only reodered 4 or 5.

But I think it is too early for my tastebuds to tell what I am really going to like longterm so I keep tasting juices I haven't been impressed with before.

I made the mistake of buying a lot of different coffee and chocolate juices at the start since the mocha carts from greensmoke that I started with were very nice so I expected to like coffee and chocolate juices. So far, I haven't liked any of them. Chocolate juices just don't taste good to me and have a sort of thick grittiness to them. Coffee on the other hand is a strange one... all coffee juices I have tried taste of marmite to me some taste like marmite lightly spread on toast with a lot of butter... Doppio Espresso tastes like marmite thickly spread on burnt toast without butter. ???

I have also yet to find a tobacco flavour that I like. Most taste of damp grass or hay to me... which is worse than coffee tasting like marmite!

So for now I am limited to fruits, sweets and vanilla. Which is annoying... I like this type of juice, but I do want something with a more savoury flavour to vape.

Where is the leak coming from? Can you post pics?

It definitely does need at least 1 tank full to settle in. I wasn't impressed at all at first... I think it was about the 3rd tank before it had me convinced.

I have... they vape pretty well and haven't leaked on me at all.

BUT

If you don't like plastic whistle tips, don't buy. You are stuck with the tip supplied since drip tips don't fit
