just remember when you're filling the tank not to fill it 100%, afaik you have to leave a little bit of air in the top or else...I dunno, the world ends or something

ego-t is pretty straightforward anyway, a lot of people start with it but most end up moving on to something else as it can be kinda prone to leaking
good starter kit though and you will have the batteries with it so if you want to get another kit in a few months time, you wont have to spend another 30 quid on them.

Thanks for the tip.
I did look at a few reviews before ordering and it had some pretty positive feedback. Good to hear some parts are interchangeable

[chacal]

Well Ego-T arrived this morning (thank you TheBestShop) along with some 24mg USA Mix. Great first impressions - good throat hit.
Not in manual (and apologies if answered already) but when not in use is it best to leave the tank in or remove it?

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

leave it in I think, but i dont know if it actually matters that much

[Green Hornet]

Yeah, leave it in. The less taking on and off of the tank the better really in terms of leaks.

Leave it together. I've noticed it leaks slighlty even with the caps on. But that's expected as there's a hole there

[eeloe]

Oh yes, leave the tank in as much as you can, removing it from the atty the whole time will lead to nothing but a mess.

[chacal]

Thanks all!

hi there lads, i have a dad who decided to quit smoking, but finds it hard to do doh... so we decided to buy him an e-cigaret, what would be the best of them all e-cigarets out there to buy, we have around 70-100eur to spend.. hi is a heavy smoker, smokes around 1,5-2 packs a day, smokes strong in nicotine fags.. your recommendations please, thank you

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

i'll reccomend a cartomiser set up



this video goes through both of the cartomisers ill reccomend, should ghive you a rough idea for what a cartomiser is and how to use them. they're very straightforward, althouguh obviously if you are new to them anything can be confusing.
some of what he says isn't neccesarily relevant to you, but im mainly linking it to give you an idea of what i'm reccomending.



http://www.thebestshop.eu/joye-ego-c.../prod_233.html 1000mah batteries (be sure to select 1000mah option at the bottom)
the battery. if he's such a heavy smoker he oughta gofor either 900mah or 1000mah.
I'd kinda reccomend 900mah. it wont last quite as long, but the 1000mah batteries really are very long.. might be kind of off putting to someone making the switch from cigarettes
http://www.ezsmoke.ie/riva-battery-p-117.html 900mah batteries . it's up to you whether or not you think he'll mind the quite long battery or the medium length (but still I suppose compared to a cigarette quite long)

oh and you'll want 2 batteries, they can take 3-4 hours or longer to charge.
you could get the 650mah battery, it is quite a bit smaller. probably about the size of a cigarette itself (but thicker) but if he's a heavy user he'll have have one on charge all the time as it'll just run out fast.

the dual coil cartomiser mentioned in the video

http://www.thebestshop.eu/blank-cart.../prod_227.html
the boge cartomiser mentioned in the video

both are pretty much just fill and go, there is a very slight learning curve when it comes to how to properly fill it and how much juice it can take.. but very slight, quickly be picked up.
the dual coils hold a bit more juice so wont have to be topped off as often, they also produce a slightly warmer and "rougher" vape.. maybe more similar to a cigarette?
the boge's have a cleaner flavour and are mellower than the dual coils.
I'd reccomend to get a couple of each to start off with, then he can make the choice of which one he prefers.

http://www.thebestshop.eu/drip-tips/.../prod_146.html
drip tip. you take off the little white cap of the cartomiser, slot this into the hole and you wrap your lips around the drip tip to vape. not strictly neccesary but better than wrapping our lips around a potentially warm cartomiser.

I got the Joye eGo-Titan (Tank) as my first e-cigarette.

Cant complain really. Ive got a starter pack from The Varpour Store.

Reason why i got the Titan was because in 24 hours id smoke around a pack. So i decided to go for the Titan because I could fit a large battery on it and larger cartridge for smoking, less replacing during the day.

Got the starter pack cause its better value, youd also want a a spare battery in case the first one dies. While one battery is charging you can just always use the second one.

In total i paid around 80 euro for the starter pack, e-liquid and postage.

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

it's normally a good idea to have a small stash of unused cartomisers as they are so cheap and so new that it's still possible to get some duds in an order. While you generally oughta get a week (or more, depending on your vaping habits) out of a single carto.. it's possible to get one that craps out after 2 days.. or even one that works, but underperforms from the get go. it's just something you have to deal with when you vape with cartomisers, but they're so cheap it's not the biggest issue. it's just annoying when you haven't kept a supply up and you run into two duds in a row, not exactgly common.. but it can happen.

if he smokes that many cigarettes i'd say a minimum of 18mg juice
http://www.thebestshop.eu/standard-e...g/prod_99.html
or
http://www.thebestshop.eu/liqua-eliquid/cat_40.html

maybe 24mg even. or get a bottle of 24 and a bottle of 18, see if the 18 keeps him satisfied.
it's important to note that no tobacco ejuice tastes like a cigarette as it's pretty impossible to duplicate the taste of burning plant material and paper but nice tobacco juices from those sites (in my opinion) are
deluxe tobacco
winston/wensten
marlboro/us mix
cuba cigar

juices are kinda the most awkward thing as it's hard to know what he'll like, and what one person loves another might hate. the good thing is there are so many suppliers of different juices around that you can keep working until you find something you love.
the first link there are dekang juices, a very common mass produced (well made) juice line. i'd say you're best getting a few flavours in 10ml bottles until he knows what he likes, after that it's 10 euro for 30ml or 15 euro for 50ml and if he's happy with the flavour/strength then he's golden

the liqua juices are newer, italian made and in terms of flavour pretty damn nice. if he wants to branch out into a fruit flavoured juice, or the coffee/tirimasu.. no harm in getting a 10ml bottle at 4.50 or whatever it is

ill have a read over both my posts and make sure i didnt forget anything, any more questions or if you want me to explain something in more detail just ask

its all fine and dendy, but is there a kit or something, or i have to buy everything separate?

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

there's no kit for the dual coils in stock anywhere atm

ezsmoke have a dual coil kit, but the dual coils are clear.. and i can't reccomend them any time i've used a clear dual coil i've not enjoyed it at all and after you've filled them 2 or 3 times the filler looks pretty disgusting inside the clear case.
http://www.ezsmoke.ie/dual-coil-cart...rter-p-96.html

you could order that if you want (they also have dekang juices, same as thebestshop)
but i can not stress enough how much I hated the clear dual coils. they were kinda.. delicate. you had to be real careful screwing them off the battery or the casing could seperate from the battery end and the filler would fall out. it isn't definitely going to happen, but it happen to me pretty often whenever I tried the clears so now I just use the blacks/stainless steels.

discount code of "vape" at ezsmoke until the 24th
discount code of "irishvape" at thebestshop
think both are 10%
