Thanks Karma! I can't believe they are so cheap. Whether their duration compares to batteries 2 or 4 times + their price I don't know, but from what I've experienced so far I am more than happy with these! So cheap it would be rude not to!  |

no smokies are a totally different design Giz I thought as much! Not got mine yet so can't have a good look. I see Electravape are selling these at £4.75 at the moment and you can add a rebuild kit (wick and coil) for £1.50, which you can get a couple/few rebuilds from. Unsure how much hassle this kit would save instead of sourcing the bits individually, and whether its much more expensive? As for the smokies - what wire is needed to replace the coil? Is it easy to get hold of? |

You're right Giz, still got a good deal and we have had ours for a few days to play with! Totally agree about extra batteries, you can never have enough spares! I've just ordered 2 of the same as what we have for £4.99 delivered from flea bay. I know they are not the best 3000mah batteries but 5 hours of chain vaping on a £2.50 bat can't be bad! That's a great price! I always believe its better to have more and not need them than need them and not have any! Do you have a link? |

Have a great break Kev. You've timed it just right to coincide with my spending ban so I can save it all up for when you get back! |

What is included with the stardust ce4 clearomiser rebuild kit mate? For £1.50 it seems like a bargain if a couple of rebuilds are possible, and saves all the messing of trying to find the bits yourself?! a length of genuine ce2 wick and some resisitance wire which is around enough for 3 to 4 new builds. im going on how much wire i use to make an iatty or odyseuss, obviously if you have a multimeter all the better but you could roughly guage it by how many wraps you make on the wick Thanks mate - are the rebuild kits available separately? I already have my first stardust on its way and have been looking on the posts on here about re-wicking/re-coiling and a rebuild kit from you would be perfect! I was going to order a stardust + kit but it would mean getting 2 to meet the min order amount, so I shall wait to receive the one on its way and see how I get on with it first. If we gel I will be right back with a bigger order! Happy Birthday to Electravapes too - well done mate for your success!  |

I think it's Kev's twisted sense of humour! He does these things on purpose lol! I'm happy with my purchase. I would have been happier with an extra 5% off, but to be honest I think we got it at a good price because it was unboxed?
Looking on the bright side Karma - the TR001 charger that is now included with the LT can charge different batteries as well as the 18650's, so having the charger we got won't encourage me to buy other batteries! A money saver and I think Kev did this on purpose just to save us (me) money! Thanks Kev.
The only real difference is the option of the tank, which I would probably have chosen the atty's over anyway, so I'm not too bothered.
I still agree with an item on your wish list though Karma - extra batteries. In reality I don't really need extra's, but I do like the idea of having 2 charged ready to go so at least one, if not 2, is on my wish list......just gotta decide which ones to choose???
(vaping = gives you no excuse to be bored!)

I have a couple of findings I'd like to mention about my mixing experience so far.... I have been testing my mixes by direct dripping into the SR atty's that came with my Ego. This, i have always found, gives a very strong flavour & TH with masses of vapour. I've been using this method to perfect(????) my mixes before committing the juice to a carto, which I did to a couple yesterday. The flavours seem to be a lot smoother from a carto than the atty. The vapour produced isn't as intense and the TH is a tiny little bit muted. The problematic 555/TPA tobacco is absolutely gorgeous in a Boge SR! Also - jsis very kindly sent me some Honeywood to try (Thanks mate!) and I have tried it this morning. It is very perfumey straight out of the atty, and although nice, the taste is much like a smokey perfume. I threw caution to the wind and filled a carto with it and the difference is huge! The perfume is still there, but very, very faint, and adds to the enjoyment of the stronger tobacco flavour. Also ( ) The 'dodgy' mega mix that I did and relegated to the back of the cupboard was put into a carto, and again I was quite surprised to find it quite pallatable! It definitely needs something still (proper caramel (Ordered)) but its a flavour that, to me, is almost there! I have no true views on steeping. So far it has been hit and miss for me - some juices seem to taste the same after a week as it does straight away, whilst others have changed a lot after leaving for a few day. I don't get it, but for now if a juice isn't tasting good straight away i put it to the back of the cupboard with the intention of trying again in a weeks time! (I won't throw anything away!!!) |

I'm convinced! i need one of these!!! they look perfect - the convenience of a tank and the filling ease of a carto! damn this spending!)  I couldn't resist - ordered one yesterday! They seem to be much more useable than standard cartos are and will make a huge difference to my vaping. I currently feel i have to fill all cartos if I leave the house for any length of time (different flavours I swap and change throughout the day) as I'm never confident how much is left in each. At least with these just require a quick look. And being able to re-wick and re-coil is the icing on the cake! Incidentally - I have just bought some smokimisers from the GB and wonder if anyone knows if these can be re-wicked/coiled with the same wick/coil as the stardust?) |

I think at the moment the LT is a novelty and I'm continually changing the voltage on each juice so I can see the difference different voltages has on various resistance carto's, therefore, although I would normally consider myself a chain vaper, I am probably now classed under the heading of "Mega-chain-vaper' and the battery duration now is less than what it normally would be. I'm not overly concerned that I'm having to use 2 batteries (possibly a third just before bed) in a day, as once the novelty wears a little, and I find the ideal voltage for each juice/carto combo, battery duration will increase to an acceptable level (in theory anyway ) So far though, I absolutely love the LT. I can't think of anything negative to say about it - Perfection! (To me and my needs anyway |

I guess so, but what if you got that 'dissatisfied feeling' with a fresh carto, used for the first time? Hi gizmondothefirst, I have just switched from cartos to clearomizers, and I shout out loud love em. I'm only on my first day with them, but I instantly prefer them to cartomizers. You should give them a look over, if your not completely happy with cartomizers. If your interested, I got mine from safercigs. I don't know how to link the site and what not, but if you check out the thread on "IF YOUR THINKING OF BUYING A RIVA, READ THIS" maccafan and suebam have linked the clearomizers to the site. Hope this makes some sense, And sorry if I haven't helped you with your question. Thanks for the info mate. I have some smokimisers which i was saving for a rainy day, but have cracked them out and so far, other than the odd dry hit they seem to be performing really well. I will have a look at the clearomisers though Giz, you're not just going through a taste bud phase? I had a problem a week or so ago, it lasted a couple of days, nothing really tasted of anything  I seem to be over that now, thankfully I think that has just passed?! I had it last week and nothing tasted right! This week, although I'm using different juices, everything seems to be a lot tastier! LOL I bin mine after 2 complete fills as the flavour goes, so they last me no longer the 2 days. Thank god for Health Cabin,but saying that I don't use cartos exclusively as I prefer to use my Ody. Wow! Over 5 weeks into using cartos and not thrown a single one out! There are some that taste of burning all the time straight out of the packet, so i put that down to manufacturers or juice that won't wick. |

Sorry I've been quiet - I can't seem to spend long enough away from work to actually reply! The vip GB was meant 'tongue-in-cheek' and I agree the shipping prices are so reasonable that after the RM have had their share there would be very little, if any, money saved! Patience is something I seem to lack where vaping is concerned! I knew I wouldn't be able to wait for a mix to steep properly...although a lot of mine have been so awful I have been left with no choice other than to leave them a week or 10!!! I have had no luck what-so-ever with the 555 tobacco. Its either too strong and tastes like burnt caramel, or too weak and tastes of caramel (not a nice one!), but regardless there is no tobacco!?! I've mixed it with another problem juice - TPA tobacco, which tastes of Turkish Delight (and nothing else!) and now I'm left with a burnt caramelly turkish delight - yuk! Back of the cupboard for that one!!! My coffee is amazing, as is iced lemon and cherry tunes! The pre-mixed HC RY4 is now ruined as it was too harsh on my throat, so I watered it down with VG, and added caramel candy. That didn't taste right so I added 555. Still rubbish so a little vanilla. No better so a dash of coffee and D-D-L. All in all it is horrid!!! If I can dilute it enough it may make a good base, but it my be heading for the U-bend before I waste more stuff on it! Luckily - my little LT mate Karma has saved the day by sending me her pre-mixed RY4, which tastes even better than HC's! Thanks Karma |

I've chain vaped for about 5 hours and my battery has run out Liking the LT but my Riva batteries seem to last longer? Giz, how are you finding your LT? Why does work always get in the way of a good vape???!!! I'm loving my LT! Like you Karma I am chaining like crazy on this thing and getting through 2 batteries a day...although, again like you, I've been changing batteries at 3.6v! (i will take Gordy's advice and wait for the LT to let me know) I am loving the versatility of this thing. If a flavour is muted just crank up the volts until you can taste rubber, then go back a couple of clicks! If another flavour is too much, just reduce power! The perfect addition to any vaping setup. Out of the diy mixes I have made 3 have worked really well, and the LT brings even more flavour to them! I do believe I made a fantastic decision choosing the LT, and if no one minds I will spend a few moments congratulating myself  Thanks to all who helped make the decision easy! |
