E-Cigarettes - The original thread

DublinCJM

The owner of my local vapes. I gave him a few spare clearos because he paid 26 quid for one in a walk in shop recently!! Just looked like a regular T2 or T3 clearo to me. So he owes me ;-)

Anyway, once he's vaping, there's no stopping me!!

Visa Debit cards work as credit cards, and PayPal can generally be used as a checkout without needing an account (if the vendor's checked that box).

Unless you want something the size of a cig I'd leave that one.
Heres an option for similar money;http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/electronic-cigarettes-starter-kits/193-single-ego-t-with-ce4-starter-kit.html
You could get two!
The 650 battery should last most of the day certainly as long as two 510 battery's.
Clearos are easier than the cartridges or tanks. Only thing is the size. It's more like a big fat cigar than a cig, you won't dangle it between your lips, But it works well, gives good vapor and flavor.
If you need the cig feel getting started, get a disposable for out an about, they work well enough for what they are and can be got for about a fiver. I think the Ritchy ones are considered good. Haven't bothered with them so I'm not sure.

I started with that kit about 18 months ago......it's fine to start with but the battery life is only a couple of hours, the atties are not great at all and suffer from wicking issues. Fine to start with but I wouldn't recommend any cigalikes yokes at all.

This one is much better and you should get around 6-7 hours from each battery at normal vaping rate. The evod gets good reviews although I've never used it myself.

If you have a look through the sites on this link, at least half of them have starter kits and so long as they have eGo or Kanger starter kits you can't really go wrong.

Despite what the information says underneath it, it will leak, and the flavour will be fairly muted.
Those batteries are quite small, so I'd only get it if I absolutely had to have a cig-sized ecig.
Also available cheaper here.

Get a pack of 2.0ohm Boge cartos and that'll perform better than the tank-atty combo.

Personally I'd buy two of these

One of these

And a pack of these

(2.0ohm)

Mmmm, i haven't had a pleasant experience with them, I've given them until 5pm to respond to me and resolve the issue, if they don't I will post details then, don't want to slate them for something that could have been a genuine mistake, although I doubt it.

That's a sh!t. Hope you get sorted. Might be worth sending a PM to the OP on that other thread see how he faired?

My issue is with an online purchase not being what it was advertised as, will wait until 5pm and if no response from them I will gladly post the details.

Update, had a response and a phone call from the lads in healthiersmoker.ie , they have sorted everything out re my order and gave me some really good advice as I am pretty new to this, I hope to have my e-GO Vision T2 tomorrow and will report back on how it performs.

I got the above mentioned T2 earlier and I must say I am very pleasantly surprised, there's a great back of the throat and lung hit off it, performs just like a real smoke, hopefully that's the end of my time smoking rotten cigarettes.

I wouldn't be an expert on boges but that shouldn't need to be replaced.

Unless you had a really unusually thick juice in it or something.

Just started today. I was reading through these threads last night but there were too many choices to try to take in so just went to the shop in Mount street Mullingar today

Got a Provog ego kit for E66 with 2 kits...1100mAh batteries, "crystal" clearomisers and USB charger. There was also an AC charger but for Polish sockets.

For 11 quid extra got 10ml "Mild" colonial tobacco (nice) and 10ml "P1" menthol (nice "after eight" taste) juices

Anybody know how this lot figures ,compared to the competition?

Is it worth my while upgrading the clearomisers to something else? 510 thread , apparently

Check this list of vendors out when your batteries break and you think 11 quid is a good deal for two 10mls http://www.vapingireland.com/Home/Vendors

Thanks for the list. I wasnt claiming I got a good deal. I wouldn't know...hence my question.
I am more interested in finding out how the provog ego kit compares to others regarding quality or if I should, say, buy a different clearomiser to improve it...if anyone knows this kit, that is.

Vaperus

The Provog seems to be rebadged Joyetech if I remember right
As for a device its very much personal choice the same as the liquid what one person will love another will hate

Juxtapose

Hi guys, just read through alot of this thread and some great info.

I had an e-cig (not sure on the brand) about 2 months ago, it worked for a few weeks and i was off the fags, but the design was so bad it pretty much stopped vaping and i had no idea how to fix it without buying a new one. (i paid 36 euro for it). So ive been back on the smokes since...

So im here to look at getting a proper vap, and after seeing so many recommendations for the kanger twist im willing to give it a try. Few questions if anyone can answer though!

Is it better to get the upgrade starter kit as opposed to the original? Is the benefit just extra parts i wont need to buy in future? Money isnt a problem if its more convenient to buy the better product!

Also with the basic starter kit i see you get some sample liquid choices. Is this just with the basic starter kit or for both?
I've never used liquids before so im unsure as to what to try.
I've smoked rollies for about 10 years (golden vir & amber leaf) if that helps.

Also how often will i have to buy upgrades or change the parts on the e-cig?

And is it better to get a different model if im committed to having an e-cig? I dont want to have to buy a whole new set a few months down the line if ive already paid for this one!

Apologies if theres too many questions here, or if i posted in the wrong section. Just a bit daunted by the expertise and my lack of knowledge of the products so hoping someone can help a complete noob!

Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I bought the HS Firebird yesterday, does any one use this one and do you think it is good?

Thanks,

Assuming the HS is Healthier Smoker, then the Firebird is an eGo type battery with presumably a clearo on top. It's the kind of thing I would recommend to a beginner. Easy to fill, can see when it needs refilling and performs well.

Once you find a flavor juice you like your off to a good start.

Keep an eye out for when the taste becomes a bit off, thats when you need a new clearo or head for the one you have. Usually about 15 ml to 20ml of juice wears the coil out.
Haven't got one of that brand myself so cant comment on the quality but egos are simple tech, not a lot to go wrong.
