Wind a wee bit of wire round the end that is fraying. Wind the coil. Get it in place. Cut the bit of wire off.

So, not so silly you then angie7367 Like everyone's said, they're good to go - get vaping & report back  Mind, as lal said they may need to steep a bit before they taste really good. |

Those are juices, ready to go - they contain 24mg nicotine so are quite strong. Can you link to them, just to make sure? angie7367 |

Yorkshireman - Give them the week, afterall, the poor fellow needs to go to church at the weekend. Then suggest that maybe it would be quicker to settle in court if they have not come up with a suitable proposal. Dont say you will see them in court, just it may get resolved quicker. You don't need to go to court, but if they don't want to it might hurry them along. Do you have any legal cover with your bank, insurance policies (including car - they may help), union, pension scheme, etc? If you do, use them - you've paid for it.
So you have on tape one saying "No-one in yorkshire complaining" & another saying "Open the floodgates"? If you do, I'd think your'e on a winner, especially if they were both aware the conversation was recorded.

As you've never smoked a cigarette in your life, why, oh why oh why do you want to start vaping?
Maybe the taste is horrible as it's not the thing for you - just as a cigarette would taste horrible.

Chrissie - I initially thought the same as you, but I think it's just the boge cartos she's got, along with the 320mah esmart(?) batteries - (the non-exploding ones). Still think the pcc Karma linked or the paradise-vape blister pack would've been much better value, but there you go

Hi guys, thank you for all the help. I eventually purchased the build that I listed in my last post, plus a small 5ml bottle of juice and a needle filler. That came to £30 including next day delivery. I then bought 2 of the 10ml XO juices from Liberty Flights which was another £10. So total outlay has been up there! £40 for this stuff and another £30 or so on the E-Lites. I'm sure that a lot of you are thinking "what a bloody waste of money" but I suppose that I had to experience this for myself and learn these lessons. I would have spent just as much on 5 E-lite refills anyway... Karma - I went with my more expensive build because e quality gave me piece of mind. I have (what I understand to be) purchased as good a cig-a-like config as you can get. 1 The kit you linked to I must say doesn't fill me with confidence (ie warning in exploding batteries!). 2 You normally get what you pay for and if I am going to be 3 burning and inhaling, I want to get as good as poss. Thanks for the advice though Djs (and others) - you are both so right about the E-lites. I now see them for the stepping stone that they really are? Glad I tried them as an intro but 2 wish I didn't spend so much on them (d'oh!)? Thanks for the guidance My goals - I am not a mega smoker by any stretch of the imagination. I don't go for fag breaks at work - I only smoke before, after and on a night out. I would probably go through a small pack of golden V In a week. I therefore don't think that I will notice much of a saving (will probs end up spending more), however for me it's a health thing (with a view to eventually giving up). That's why I didn't go for the lovely looking Mini Protank, as I thought that it would just encourage me to get more hooked on nicotine. I now want to work out how to economise on this. I can get by on one battery for the time being, however I need to find a good source of juice that is cheap. I am v aware at this is an 4 unregulated market so I'm not going to just go for the cheapest juice at I find, however if anyone has a particular favourite and cheap suggestion, please let me know. I am looking forward to when the bits arrive at work tomorrow so that I experience a better quality vale (I hope!!!) than my E-Lites. I know that I will really feel like I have triumphed when I next go out and puff on my lovely e-cig as opposed to all the others puffing on their cigarettes! I will post tomorrow and let you know my impressions of the kit! Good evening all Glad you got yourself sorted, & hope it works well for you.  , but I really do have to pull you up on a couple of things though: - 1 - Karma most certainly would not have linked you to any kit she thought to be dangerous
- Any lithium battery has the possibility of explosion/fire - including the ones in your mobile phone or laptop
- 2 - You paid good money for your e-lites. Further to your experience with them and the comments recieved here, do you think 'you got what you paid for'?
- 3 - Burning? Sorry, what is burning? This is one of the main problems that the 'anti-e-cig' brigade have - they still believe something is burning, and smoke is being produced. Nothing is burnt and no smoke is produced.
- 4 - The e-cig market, including juice is FAR from being unregulated - in fact I believe you will find that vaping equipment and juice is covered by no less than 17 different government regulations.
Sorry if I've come across harshly, but these 4 things are the kind of mindless drivel we are getting from the likes of uninformed MPs/MEPs, MHRA, BMA, NHS, train companies, the list goes on, in their endeavours to stop us vaping. However, I really do wish you the best of luck in kicking the stinkies - you've certainly come to the right place for help. Do keep us posted on how you're doing, & please, don't let me have put you off asking for further advice  |

When I smoked not all of my ciggies tasted nice, infact sometimes they were vile  but I carried on regardless as I'm a nicotine addict  Try to vape through it, but if the urge really gets to you, have a ciggie. It probably will not taste very good though! Very good point Karma. 'When I was a smoker' (ark at him ) I would frequently get 1/2 way through a rollie and dislike it. Would I put it out? To hell I would - "I've bought it, I've rolled it, and now I'm gunna bloody well smoke it! (Even though it's minging)" If we can do that with stuff that WILL kill us, we can all do it with stuff that's stopping us having the stuff that will kill us. Keep it up Jerri, tomorrow's nearly here, and hopefully, it'll be easier for you tomorrow |

Genuine evods are made by Kanger, so my guess is, a battery with 'evod' branding on is as much a clone as anything else. The evod clones from fastech have VERY mixed reviews - buy with caution. I've only use 1 of my 7 'chi-vods' and it was great to start, but leaks a bit round the window. If you're wanting a cheap reliable starter kit, try this from Paradise Vape - several of us have them, and can't fault them for £7 +p&p. (Also, I understand the customer service is much better than in China ) I'm not knocking fasttech, just be wary of what you buy, and read all the reviews. I've got quite a bit of their gear that I'm very happy with, and some that I'm not |

For some unknown reason, batteries from abroad are OK Apparently, the regulations only apply to 'internal' mail  |

Stick with it Jerri - 10 months is a long time Thanks. Don't get paid till a week Thursday so can't afford to buy some heads right now. I won't go get any smokes. ....... Surely a pack of new heads would be cheaper than a pack of cancer-sticks?  Get some menthol going - boil some wick - take your time doing a perfect recoil - all WILL be good, I'm sure. Good Luck  |
