Hey all. I have now got 7 CE4 clearos a couple of Kangers and most recently a vivi nova tank with a couple of mini vivi's on the way. Im pretty settled on 5 or 6 juices that I love.
What im hoping to do is get some coloured drip tips, just for easier identication of what juice is in which clearo.
The CE4's, the kangers and the vivi all have different tips in them. I have been told that the 510 drip tips will fit in the vivi's...Is this correct? Also if so is it possible to buy coloured drip tips that are compatible with Kangers and CE4's?

Thank you for your replies really appreciate the time you have taken. When I bought the original Smoke relief kit I went a bit mad buying spare batteries chargers and travel pack chargers! so in an ideal world if I could get a tank refillable to fit these batteries that would be magic. But I guess that won't happen. Im not totally adverse to a change of style. Think the other styles just look a bit strange in public but I guess thats a problem I may have to get over! So fire away with links to products you think fit my bill. Im so looking forward to starting to vape again. If only to feel and smell a bit better  Heya and welcome to the forum. I swore blind I would never use a ecig that didnt look like an ecig.... well now I use one of the bigger ones and couldnt give a monkies what anyone else thinks. Its my health not theirs  All the best, and the Ego's are fantastic as a refilable kit. The next Question you will be asking then will be about rebuildables....and then POW you will end up with a big mod hehe. always the way and enjoy the journey. Yes this is so true. I started with a riva kit, then a dual voltage, then a variable voltage. Next on the list is a VV/VW. I have been thru CE4's then discovered Kangers and then Vivi's. All this and I only started vaping 21 days ago. Im definitely thinking making my own Wicks and coils are next on the list |

I just got my first bigish bottle today. The very small bottles often come at 7 days steeped. The large one today needs another 5 days. Fortunately I still have some left from my last order  |

just tried again and getting no vapor at all. maybee not enough Juice do you think ? I put about 18 drops in Ahh thinking about this, cartos have a kind of wadding in I think.. It may take a while to absorb the juice. Im not that familiar with using them but hopefully someone else will be along to help. In the meanwhile give the carto time to soak up the juice and then add a bit more. |

Just received my Riva 1100 this morning (actually arrived yesterday but i was out ) First of all big thank you to Vape Escape from being ordered to being delivered under 24hrs amazing. Also had to ring customers services coz i was baffled by the child proof lid on the E juice and a few other things. the lady on the other end was nowt but lush Thank you to her.  What a difference to an E Lite which in my opion was a total waste of money. I spent 29.00 quid on E Lite starter kit and spare cartos which could have been much better spent on Riva and E juice had i known. AS i type this i am light headed so defo a big Nico hit from the Riva. Trouble is i now think i will become hooked on vaping as its so relaxing. It reminds me of them films set in Victorian times where they are all smoking from hash pipes in a seedy backroom if you know what i mean Excellent product just wish i had known about this forum and the Riva before spending loads on inferior products. Welcome blackarrow.. Don't beat yourself up about the e-lites.. I would guess the vast majority of us have been down the same road. |

Hi Zeldamum.. Yes vaping is very economical. Even for a very heavy vaper a clearo will last a few days. If you want to change from the clearo to a carto, simply unscrew the clearo, but make sure you unscrew it at its lowest point just above the battery button. Unscrew in the wrong place and you will lose the liquid from the clear0. Just a side note to what sue said... It isn't necessary to keep the clearo upright. It cant leak from the top. Indeed if the clearo is going down in level its better to keep it on its side to keep the wick soaked But her method for filling a carto is correct.. assuming its not prefilled . I will be surprised if you prefer the carto to the clearo tho. |

[quote author=zeldamum board=newmembers thread=17965 post=339004 time=1360063600 And I guess dont drag on it like a cig, or you get a coughing fit [/quote] Hi Zeldamum and welcome. No.... when vaping it should be a longer slow drag. Try and hold the vape in your mouth for a second or two, then either inhale or exhale |

Nice one mate i had no idea what a plinth was til a few hours ago. Even with the full size vivi it looks like it transforms the appearance. Nearly home time/ sleep time. But i have a feeling i will be awake early to place an order I do love next day delivery  |

Sorry about this but please disregard the above thread....Shortly after posting that(I was and still am at work) a driver came in (i work in a dairy)... he was sporting a very oversized juice holder.. It turns out it was the full vivi nova!! He let me have a couple of vapes using my ego-twist.. and OMG!! He didnt warn me he was smoking menthol.  I then cranked the voltage up on the ego and took a more "careful" vape.. A few minutes later i was able to catch my breath. Tho im still a relative newbie i was absolutely stunned that vaping could be like that. It was a whole different world to the V3's or T5's.. So the only down side was the appearance of it on my twist battery. Im guessing now my options are to get a new shiny that wont make the large vivi look so large, or have a punt on a mini vivi. So if anyone has experience of both the vivi and the mini vivi, am i gonna be underwhelmed by the mini after being blown away by the full size? If so can anyone recommend a nice new shiny to take advantage of the full size vivi? I have looked at a few reviews of both the vivis tonight. Some seem to say that the mini's are SLIGHTLY better than a Kanger  ... Others say that the minis are almost as good as the large vivi. Im hoping for the latter and am happy to hear any opinions. mmm.. just been reading some more..is a plinth gonna make the twist and the full vivi less odd looking? Obviously much cheaper than a new shiny lol |

A few days ago i ordered a couple of t5's just to compare with my existing stock of Vision v3's. Initial thoughts were that they compared favourably on taste and vape. Then earlier when i switching clearo, i noticed that there was a leak on the battery thread. So after cleaning etc i experimented with the two Kangers and the Vision's. The Kangers both left a leak on the battery. So im pretty sure it was down to my carelessness when i filled them. Tho they do seem a strange design. Where the V3's have the metal "tube" protruding thru the silicone on the T5's it lies flush, so im guessing with thicker juices you have to be extra careful or need to syringe juices to avoid it going down the centre hole and leaking down to the battery. So i you tubed it and was even more surprised to find that Kangers T2's go to the opposite extreme and the metal tube actually protrudes even more than on the V3's. So anyways apart from my mishap i do love the t5's, but i do like to expirement and am wondering if anyone has a comparison between the T2's the T5's and the the Mini Vivi's? |

What would you recommend Moonraker? I got an Ego-Twist the other day. I love it! |

Funny you should say that.. I had a spell a week ago of being able to taste no vapes except Banoffee, GVC or menthol. Everything else seems ok now except the cocomel. I will try what u suggest and leave it for a while. Failing that i have some VG nic base.. Maybe a couple of drops of that will help? |

Ok. I really am still a newbie. When i got my Riva kit 20 days ago, i ordered some griswalds samples from Vape Escape. Totally loved Banoffee Cream, Arctic Cherry and Cocomel. Since then i have ordered some more samples of more or less the same flavours(just to be sure). I have also bought an ego twist, some Kanger Clearos and also a vivi nova and a GVC sample. So the issue is the cocomel. It suddenly tastes really bland  Tried it in my original V3 rebuildables, in a Kanger and also in the vivi nova. Im pretty sure that both the samples were the same strength and both steeped. So the only thing i can think of is either, the sweetness and strong flavour of the GVC has made the cocomel taste bland and absolutely zilch throat hit(tho its hasnt affected the vape from my Banoffee Cream..Yum!!).. Is that at all likely or possible! Failing that it must surely be a resistance issue?? I have kind of lost track with the spare heads at different resistances that i bought for the V3's and Kangers. I really should have kept more track. Maybe i need a battery that will measure my clearo resistance? Am i really destined to not get any throat hit from my Cocomel any more? |

Either of those kits would be ideal. Whichever u choose will blow an e-lite away. And whilst your on the Vape Escape site, have a look at the Griswalds liquids.. The Arctic range are great menthols!! |
