Today I was happily surprised by the customer services at greensmoke, last Friday I contacted them to complain a batch of their menthol cartomisers were bitter and tasteless, they offered to replace them and asked me to return the faulty ones. I assumed they wouldn't dispatch the new ones until I had, I was wrong, a parcel of 5 packs arrived this morning and I haven't sent the faulty ones back yet, I will do so, they are of no use to me and greensmoke need to sort out the issue if they haven't already.
However it does mean my transition to refillables can take place with minimal cost, as I've previously said I intend to refill my greensmoke cartomisers until they stop working, with the savings from that I will build up a collection of taster juices and decide my favourites. Then I'll buy myself a nice Xmas pressie of a more advanced starter kit. The main reason I switched to vaping was the cost of smoking, as a single nhs nurse helping support 2 young adults through college/uni something in the budget had to give and my smoking was the prime choice. I know as a healthcare professional I should wax lyrical about the health benefits but hey...no ones perfect. I don't think I'll ever be able to afford the lovely shiny things I've seen on here (that rainbow coloured battery is so pretty lol), but thanks to the advice and info on this forum I've now got a wealth of options to keep the costs to a minimum and still enjoy vaping. I have several colleagues at work in similar situations to mine, I intend to encourage/nag them to explore this forum. I've said this before but you guys deserve a lot of credit for the support you offer, the nhs could learn a lot from you!

although I always look like this  <<<<<<and I look like mine, (more hair, less scowling) although I've aged somewhat!!  Well after some deliberation I've decided to go with a recent photo of moi, although the horns are a little more furry now what with the onset of the colder weather...  |

Aha! Thankyou Pepperty, I understand the banner bit now, when editing the avatar I want to pick a forum one but all I get is an empty box to choose from, no matter, I'll find an image elsewhere, thanks again for your help xx |

I know I'm probably being thick but I seem to be unable to create an avatar or add a signature banner to my profile. I'm using an iPad, and I don't have a PC so if that's the issue then I guess I'll have to live with it  |

Thankyou for your help, I think I'll use up my empties and take the opportunity to try out some juices then either get some proper refillable cartomisers or move on to something more advanced. Either way I've a lot more options now than I knew about this time yesterday! Thanks guys for your friendliness and prompt informative answers, what a nice forum this is!

Hi all, this is my first day browsing the forum. My vaping experience has so far been confined to cigalikes such as greensmoke, skycigs and an emergency supply of ok ecigs from Asda! I've just watched the video on refilling disposable cartomisers and wondered how many times you can do this or how you can tell its time to stop and throw it away. I have numerous 'empties' lying around and might as well make use of them.

Well I'm hunting around for the best starter kit and we'll see how it goes from there, I must say the above pics look very impressive though I haven't a clue what all the little bits are, this should be fun...  |

I am in exactly the same situation as wanttoquit, I've been using greensmoke for about 3 months and was looking for reviews today on the ok ecigs as they are sold in Asda and are cheaper. I've had a duff batch of cartomisers from greensmoke. They were supposed to be menthol but have a horrible bitter taste instead, they are going to be returned promptly but in the meantime I'm left with 10 usable cartomisers so needed something as a stop gap. However having joined and browsed the forum I'm now very tempted to give the refillable option a try. I used to smoke about 10 cigs a day but find greensmoke's cartomisers only last 1 day if I'm lucky. My consumption hasn't increased, I can't smoke or be seen vaping at work. So although it is cheaper it's not turning out to be significantly so. I know absolutely nothing about the refillable alternatives. I had a quick glance at the pics of peoples vaping equipment, I was stunned, they looked like mini science labs! So I shall be scouring the forum for advice and picking peoples brains for the best starter kits ..  |
