Well I got 8.5 hours out of a 900mah battery this time as opposed to 4-ish using the tank. Given the heat off the other two atties and the battery life I wonder if there was a mistake made with a batch in the factory and they were low res tank atties?!?

If you right so where is this vapour. I can get much more vapour from LR atty.
Tank is sucking juice like crazy. I go up from 2,5-3ml of juice a day to over 5ml with tanks (80-100% more). Same story with my friends.
I'll stick to LR cartomizers or regular ones when I'll get ProVari.

There was loads of vapour for the first few days and then it began to trail off along with the performance. The heat was still extreme though. At times too hot to touch. I dunno. No issues with the Best Shop one in that department though

BTW eGo-T atty works great on regular 510 battery (I checked that already)just looks strange

I just got 60mls of menthol from the electronic cigarette.ie and I have to say it's nice stuff ,nice lots of vape and it's not burning as quick in the tank like the stuff from the vapour store.I originally thought it was the same chinese liquid but there is slight variation of taste ,a bit smoother or creamier and all for 21.75

This should last me a while:D

2x 30mls of menthol 16 euros ,postage 5.75 euros ,

Great stuff.. Glad to hear it rates good with others that you have tried so i think i will stick with it for now,

in fact I think I should order a couple more bottles before the rush, must ask them if they might be doing the menthol in lower strengths as i find it so nice i just dont want to stop using it,

I found that they're after sale service is also second to none.

as with chewing-gum, patches and now these i don't understand how you can quit nicotine addiction by giving yourself nicotine. It make NO sense.
Would you see somebody with an alcohol patch if they were giving up the drink.I don't think so.

Because you are trying to quite cigarettes and smoking, not nicotine. Nicotine isnt what does the harm to you, its everything else, but it is the nicotine addiction that makes you smoke and thus puts you in harms way from everything else.

For an alcholic, its the alcohol that does the harm. Nothing else. No comparison!

Step 1: Replace your source of nicotine with something that doesn't cause cancer. i.e. E-cigs, patches, gum, whatever.

Step 2: Try to quit nicotine.

If you manage to succeed with Step 1 then you've made a major improvement to your health regardless of your success with Step 2. If you skip Step 1, and try to go straight to Step 2 then any failure puts you back on the cigarettes with all the incumbent health problems this causes.

Got my Tank today, went through 1 tank already. Kinda disappointed so far. Good amount of vapor. OK flavor but absolutely NO TH! Is it normal and after some time everything will be ok? Or should i worry? Same liquid as i"m using with dripping and with cartridge...
Also ordered 20ml of RY4 and it's crap. But tried their RY4 in 5ml bottle and it was super!
I was sooo looking forward to try both of them and neither of them succeeded.....

***********
UPDATE:)
I'm starting to get a good TH now:) And the taste is actually better than on 510LR atty! And i love the vapor on this one, it's soooo nice. Will order more of them!
Still unhappy with RY4 tho. Looks like the bigger the bottle, the crappier the flavor:)

mann · 15-02-2011 2:42am

Was having a look around to find if there was /is any other type of foam to use in the carts and found this on the link below… it’s a blue foam and from the reviews it sound like a good replacement for the foam that comes with most cartridges,

Problem is they only send this one around the US… can anyone tell me of a site where I could get something similar to save me buying new carts whenever I want to try a new flavour,

http://www.thevaporpro.com/super-blue-foam.html

puttputt · 15-02-2011 3:06am

Blue foam here http://www.cloud9vaping.co.uk/epages/yxve46fvrnud.sf/en_GB/?ViewAction=View&ObjectID=1390509&Page=2

Aquarium filter foam apparently works, you need the right density one though. I haven't used it so I'm not 100% on which one you need.

rodrob111 · 15-02-2011 4:10am

Know I'm prob bein a bit lazy but can we get a rating system for all the e-cigs here. Wouldn't need too many categories, say Hit to back of throat, Taste (in relation to brands) Battery life, cost, where to buy etc...
I'd be willing to help out if needed

FLOOPER · 15-02-2011 7:49pm

Hi,

got the mega Joye go last week with the Marlb cartridges along with a bottle of the Halo 8 Smooth 18mg juice and am a little dissapointed. I'm finding the smoke/vapour acrid and irritating at the back of the throat, for all the cartridges and have a tickly cough the next day. Don't particularly like the Marlboro carts, ala everyine else here anyway, but was expecting a smoother hit with the Halo.

Has anyone else experienced this. Has anyone any suggestions as to what juice might suit me.

Thanks

For starters have you tried both atomisers as one might not be up to scratch? Are you getting a good enough throat hit? If yes to both then what the best liquid might be is hard to define. I would try the Joye Tobacco stuff from thevapourstore as to me it's a good generic flavour imo. Failing that I would recommend you look at some of the tobacco flavours on Liberty Flights as they are good quality proper smokey flavours without being overly expensive.

puttputt · 15-02-2011 7:59pm

Vaping will cause dryness due to the PG and VG in the liquid as both will absorb water so make sure you drink extra liquid, this will help a bit with the tickly cough.

If you find the juices a bit harsh you could try ones with a higher VG content, like 50/50 PG/VG or even 100% VG. VG gives a less harsh throat hit.

It might also be that you need to lower the nicotine content of the liquids you are using. If you get VG from the chemists, sold as Glycerine BP you can dilute the liquid that you have and at the same time reduce the throat hit. This will however dilute the flavour somewhat.

Hope this helps

FLOOPER · 15-02-2011 8:06pm

I'll order a few more juices so. And try that Joye tobacco as well as a couple of more and lower the nocotine strenght.

Thanks guys.

Nonamigo · 15-02-2011 8:27pm

Could tank users please give me an advice:)
I really like my new tank but something is wrong with TH. Sometimes i get it but after a few hits it gets weaker. Then, with no reason i may get 1 or 2 good hits again. Is there anything i can do to make TH constant?

I find the throat hit on the tank fine and consistent but I'm not an habitual Low Res user so it might take more to satisfy you if you are more used to that. Not being Low Res of course means longer draws are necessary to get satisfaction. I would suggest putting the tank on something other than an eGo battery since the eGo battery is limited to 3.2 volts or something. A real 3.7 device might give you more kick.

Hunter Mahan · 15-02-2011 9:15pm

One of the best threads I have ever read on the internet, informative and unbiased, thanks mainly to mewso for starting it and following through.

Just a couple of questions, if you use the one type of liquid then can you use the same cartridges over and over? Or is it best to change them every so often like the atty?

How often should you change the atomizers?

I have a screwdriver mk11 on the way, so I'm really hoping it hits the mark.

thanks

Yeah I use cartridges over and over often with different liquids but it will affect the flavour by mixing so probably best to stick to similar at least. You should move on though after a while when the material stops performaing in terms of wicking etc. You'll know easily enough but they are the cheapest part of e-smoking so it's no big deal.

I stick with atomisers as long as they perform. Again you will probably know. Sometimes if I'm not sure I'll prime up a new one to compare and often you'll suddenly realise that the previous one was under performing but you hadn't noticed which isn't a major problem either. It just got weaker and your expectancy went down slowly at the same rate

I think the general view on their lifespan is 4-6 weeks depending on luck.

As Mewso suggested getting the tank attys on a 3.7 volt device really ups the performance. I got a tank box from Garry Dibley and the tank performs even better than on the standard ego battery.

I find taking a double draw on the tank atty helps too, first take a shortish draw and then a longer one, you'll get lots more vapour, flavour and throat hit.

BTW LR tank attys are on the way, in the next month or two

About 2 weeks max for me. 1 week being more typical for low res atomisers.

Thank for the link Puttputt,

I tried to order from there just now but for some reason i couldnt get into the checkout... it may be to do with some on going work that they say will be sorted around monday,

I will check them out again later in the week

Cheers :cool:

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 16-02-2011 10:58am

where would I be able to buy a 3.7 volt battery to use with the tank given that I only have access to a laser card?

--edit

oh, nvm. just checked my battery is already 3.7volt

lost my spare atomisers when i moved apartment, and i've been using this prety much dead LR one for the past week and a bit.. wont be able to get a new atty or tank system until next week so really really looking forward to trying the tank out.

theblueirish · 16-02-2011 12:54pm

whats my next step?

I bought a Joye ego xl starter kit about 2 months ago, only started using it three weeks ago and i havent had a cigarette in 12 days. The only fault i can find is that sometimes the batteries give no hit at all, i usually have one in use and the other is on charging by usb, sometimes after charging i get no hit what so ever and other times i get a hit that chokes me.
is there a more stable system out there that delivers the same hit all the time?
any help appreciated.

Is there an Ulster Bank near you? Their Visa Debit card (equivalent of Laser) can be used with Paypal and other sites that accept Visa which is sweet.

Failing that, PM me your address and I'll mail you a couple of atomisers if you're really stuck.

It's probably not a battery issue, the eGo batteries give a pretty constant performance once charged.

It could be a wicking issue in that your atty is either too wet which will cause weak vapour and then too dry which will result in an overly harsh taste.

You could try a tank atty and some tank cartridges, I find the best thing about them is the consistency of performance. The tank system is compatible with the batteries that you already have. The vapour store has the tank attys at a very good price.

tank atty and carts ordered as well as some 11mg strawberry liquid from thevapourstore \o/

not sure if the 11mg is gona be strong enough, but I am damn sure the 24mg I have atm is too much

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 18-02-2011 11:38am

tank system arrived this morning, just unpacked it and trying it out..

so far im not happy.. there's no throat hit at all.. and the flavour isn't much better, it feels like i'm just breathing in and out on a cold day. ill give it the weekend to try it out, and i'll order a low res atty on monday if this doesnt work out

I had the same problem. I now have to smoke 18mg liquid to get some TH instead of 12mg that i normally vape. Hope it helps

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 18-02-2011 8:44pm

yeah, i was trying the new 11mg stuff I got from thevapourstore at the time. the flavour came after I used it for a bit, but all day i've been getting a real horrible burnt aftertaste.. which is just par for the course with new atomisers I guess. have some of my older juice in now and it's kinda nice. it's weird compared to dripping, but.. I think I like it.

puttputt · 18-02-2011 9:11pm

It's funny the different experiences people have been having with the tank attys. I get plenty of throat hit and a bigger nicotine hit, so much so that I'm thinking of reducing the nic content of my juices.

I haven't used LR attys though, so maybe that's the difference you have been experiencing. LR attys for the tanks are coming shortly I have heard.

I'm getting used to tank's Th little by little. But i think i'll wait till LR tanks come out before reordering new ones. I prefer LR but i like so much that you don't need to refill tanks too often

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 18-02-2011 9:50pm

yeah, I think I kinda prefer the Lr atty and dripping overall, but the simplicity of the tank is really winning me over. after a full day vaping with it too, I do prefer the flavour using the tank. not mad about the juice I got from the vapourstore though, dont get much of a taste from it. I'll order the coffee/capuccino one from them in a few weeks before I make any kind of judgement on their e-liquids... very happy with that site overall so I'd rather spend my money there if I have the choice.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 19-02-2011 2:45pm

am I doing somethijng wrong with the tank?
sometimes I'll get a *lovely* flavour using it, but sometimes I'll get a horrible burning taste in the back of my throat.. im not sure what the hell is happening, butthe burning taste is just awful.

Hunter Mahan · 19-02-2011 2:46pm

I have a screwdriver, and I was just wondering whats the best way to top up the cartridges?

One opinion seems to be to just put a few drops on the foam, another seems to think that the best way is to remove the foam put 8 drops in, replace foam and add a couple more....

Anyone with personal experience have any advice please?

I've tried both and settled on topping off just because it's quicker and easier. I never noticed any significant difference although the 8 drops in first might last longer.

It sounds like it's not wicking properly.

Make sure the tank is inserted all the way, when you put in a new one it needs two clicks to fully get it home, if there is some of the tank showing between the atty and the mouthpiece it's not all the way in. I vaped on my first for a good while getting a horrible taste before I realised it needed to be pushed in further.

If that's not the problem try rotating the tank around a few times to make sure the seal is not obstructing the hole in the tank.

If you start to get that nasty taste, take a few dry draws without pushing the button to prime the atty and get it wicking properly.

Hope one of these tips helps

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 19-02-2011 7:51pm

yeah, I have been rotating the cartridge on the spike thing to make sure the hole is properly clear.

i think my problem was I was drawing too hard on it, i'm taking soft slow draws now and the burning taste has dissapeared. the actual flavour of the juice itself is a little random, sometimes it's a huge taste sometimes mild but that's not a huge issue.

puttputt · 19-02-2011 8:11pm

I find a double draw works well, take a short draw and then a longer one immediately and I find I get loads of vapour and flavour that way

Hi everyone, I'm a 20-30 a day smoker and I really want to give up. I've tried before using gum, patches and plastic inhaler thing and had limited success with all and ended up back smoking. I've been researching electronic cigarettes the last week or so, both online and in the chemist. I have found that the chemists were useless, no information and online theres so many different sites selling them that its just confusing me. Could anyone tell to me what I'll need to buy to get started? I'd prefer to buy from Ireland rather than the UK or US as I've got it in my head to give up now and want it to arrive quickly after ordering. I also only smoke silk cut ultra at the moment so they're pretty low nicotine so are there milder strength liquids or cartridges I can get as I dont want to end up hooked on a higher dose of nicotine than I already am on. What I think I like about the electronic cigarette is that it should feel like I'm smoking which is what I missed most about all the other quit methods I tried.

mewso · 20-02-2011 10:43pm

No offence to either of the above two posters but it's like every other post before you never existed. There are countless posts where people talk about what they consider the best model to buy, where to buy in Ireland, the fact that buying from an Irish site is usually next day delivery and so on.

Currently the eGo standard, eGo Mega or the eGo Tank are considered the best options starting out. It's impossible to know which will be best for a specific person so you have to dive in and try it. All I will say is that the Tank is the simplest and easiest to use. It's very new though and from what I can see can have problems but you must realise before buying that every component of an e-cig should be considered disposable. Most of the time they work great but if a battery/attomiser/cartridge is not working then return it or buy another.

There are a couple of good Irish options now:-

http://www.thevapourstore.ie/
http://www.thebestshop.eu/

I've bought from both with next day delivery (assuming you order early on the day before) and they have been fine. A friend at work bought the tank last week from the vapour store and had problems with one of the atomisers. She emailed them and they immediately sent out a replacement atomiser with an envelope to return the dodgy one. Good service.

Everything I have said has been said many times on every page of this thread.

Thanks to both of you for your replies, I'd like to let you both know I have read the entire thread which took me hours but as a total beginner to electronic cigarettes, I found that theres a huge amount of information which I didn't understand. However, I have ordered the Joye eGo Starter Kit (510 version) some Joye tobacco E-Liquid and some blank cartridges from The Vapour Store so I should have them on Tuesday and fingers crossed it will help me get off the fags finally. Another question, has anyone tried to give up the E-Cig at any stage? I really am hoping that I will be able to wean myself off that after a while and be entirely nicotine free for the first time in 20 years

:):) I'm sure I'll be back during the week with teething problems and I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks again.

I really am hoping that I will be able to wean myself off that after a while and be entirely nicotine free for the first time in 20 years :):) I'm sure I'll be back during the week with teething problems and I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks again.

A good choice and you'll get plenty of advice in here if you have any problems or questions about it. I haven't tried to quit e-cigs so I can't say how easy it is but I wouldn't worry too much if you don't do it as niccotine is the lesser of all evils in cigarettes and is essentially a stimulant like caffeine. Obviously in an ideal world we wouldn't be addicted to it but in an ideal world I'd be a millionaire.

Personally I haven't tried to quit ecigs and am happy enough just not to be smoking and enjoying the benefits. I'm quite content to keep vaping long term.

It should be possible by slowly reducing the nicotine level in the juice you use to gradually wean yourself off nicotine if that is your goal. There was someone who posted earlier in the thread who did just that but continues to use the ecig with zero nicotine juice to satisfy the hand to mouth thing.

Best of luck with your new kit, hope it goes well for you and if you have any questions ask away

Thanks to both of you for your replies, I'd like to let you both know I have read the entire thread which took me hours but as a total beginner to electronic cigarettes, I found that theres a huge amount of information which I didn't understand.

You're doing the right thing with the eGo ,I can tell you from experience it's probably the best on the market .I have the mega verion too and the tank ,I found after a couple of months menthol was my all day vape.Hope this helps:)
