Jacvapour

Thargor

Hi, Im a total noob here but someone on another forum told me these Jacvapour kits are excellent so Im going to order this one:

http://www.jacvapour.com/Sport_and_V1P_PCC_kits-V1P_PCC_starter_kit.html

Unless anyone has any advice/better options for a light smoker, is tere a kit thats generally regarded as the best option nowadays?

Thanks.

Nonamigo

Well, i have the exact same kit. I love it. And i'm not a newbe:) I have plenty of mods inc. VV mods and i still love this kit. It's perfect for out and about. Advice tho: buy loads of cartomizers for it. I go through about 3ml a day and i found these little batteries would last me the whole day. 2 of them. Don't worry about using them more than i do, you will get a PCC so you can charge the batteries on the go:) Good luck

Thargor

Thanks Nonamigo, is 3 ml a day a heavy smoker or is a second battery a must anyway even with the PCC? Ive cut back to 5-6 roll-ups a day through willpower but with my horrible job Ill never be able to fully stop.

I don't think it's a lot to be honest. I'd say it's less than many people. And yes, I'd strongly advice you buy a second battery, it takes time to charge. I bought 3, 1 just as a spare

Thargor

Thanks, just waiting on their flavor carts to come back in stock now, cant wait.

Forgot to ask though, do you refill your own carts? Do you get a lot of reuses out of them if so?

Nonamigo

I usually get about 4-5 days out of 1 cart.. I bought refilled carts but I do prefer empty ones to fill with my own juice but at the time I bought it there were only prefilled ones. Anyway if you decide to buy prefilled- don't go for capuccino-it's horrible. And go up in strength I.e. if you normally vape 12 mg, go for 18mg. Dunno why but their prefilled carts have very little TH.

Thargor

Ive never vaped anything before, thanks though, site still out of stock though, wish they'd move it. Thanks for that Nonamigo.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

if you havent ordered the kit yet consider this
http://www.safercigs.co.uk/Innokin_AIO_IK1200_PCC_510/p705283_6359108.aspx
+ a spare battery

dont think they come with prefilled cartos so youll need to get some juice.. but im sure you can buy prefilled cartomisers somewhere if you dont want to mess about with juice

Safercigs will be on Holiday 12-23 September. We will not be closing the shop during this time instead we will give you a 12.5% discount on all orders placed which will be sent out on Monday 24th September . Please use discount code HOLIDAY

Is it better? Ive read some seriously good reviews of Jacvapour now and kind of had my my mind made up about that, do you really reccomend that one? It is a seriously good looking PCC...

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

dunno, n ever used either

had a google and the jacvapour kit apperently uses 510 devices so that's already better than most other cigarette sized models

jacvapour looks fine if that's what you have your heart set on. looks like the carts that come with it should be refillable too so you can save money instead of tossing them and geting new ones, or even buy empty ones and juice seperately

Thargor

Excellent thanks, they really are great looking PCCs though.

My jacvapour kit has kr 808 connector. This is the only downside imho.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah thats why I was a bit iffy about them but the kit he linked mentions kangers and I did a google and say jackvapour have a kanger/510 pcc kit out there as well. so long as it's 510 should be ok

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

http://www.purevapour.com/product/purevapour/pcc-starter-kit

there's a new irish site that sems to have the same kit you're looking for

it's the exact same as the one you linked, it's 510 so that's always handy and you can buy replacement cartomisers from this site (8 euro for 5 prefilled.. honestly a pretty good price) and they can be refilled several times with your own juices and it's irish so next day delivery

Thargor

510 is some kind of standard cartomiser is it? Will that be the standrd going forward or have I got that completely wrong? thanks for the link.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

510 is the standard for cartomisers yeah. 510 and ego are the two main fittings around, most of your larger batteries will have 510 and ego fittings so they're almost interchangable but because of the size/shape of the ego fitting they don't work on the slimmer 510/cigarette style batteries


a lot of the cigeratte like kits have their own proprietary connections on the batteries so you're locked in to using their devices and only their devices, which are often quite expensive so if this kit uses 510.. it'll do grand.

eeloe

yep, any 510 cartomizer will fit on to that kit, as you said, 510 is a pretty standard fitting, and most of the bigger mods all use a 510 connection to connect the cartomizer/atomizer to the device!

Thargor

These finally came back in stock so I ordered the 510 PCC Kit:

http://www.jacvapour.com/Sport_and_V1P_PCC_kits-V1P_PCC_starter_kit.html

And a mixed pack of tobacco flavours and a mixed pack of fruit/other flavours, also ordered some empty cartomisers for filling myself:

http://www.jacvapour.com/Cartomisers_Tanks-5_pack_of_Mixed_non-tobacco_flavour_V3_cartomisers.html

http://www.jacvapour.com/Cartomisers_Tanks-5_pack_of_Mixed_tobacco_V3_cartomisers_1.html

Then before I pulled the trigger I had one last flick around online to see if there was any better option I might have missed and found this review of the Jacvapour with a code for 15% off:

http://www.ecigclick.co.uk/jacvapour-review/

But when I entered it it too £15 off! Just checked the Paypal receipt there and it went through, happy with that result, thanks for the help.

Thargor

Got this today, took it for a test drive there, first impressions not good to be honest. The tobacco flavors are absolutely rancid, like utterly disgusting dirty clothes taste in your mouth, as a replacement for fags its not going to happen.

As for the flavour packs, menthol was just about bearable so Ill stick with those until I decide what to do, really bad first experience though, also the cartomizers have no way to tell if they're full or not, so I just wait until it burns out and ruins it?

As for the throat hit, I dont see how that can be healthy, I can puff on cigars, fags, joints or roll ups all night without so much as a throat tickle but the hit off these gives me a coughing fit, it just feels too strong to be healthy, Ive read the articles on propelene glycol so I know its supposed to be okay but this leaves me suspicious.

Im going to press on and see if I get used to it but initial review: 1/10 disgusting.

Can anyone recommend any decent flavors to try? Menthol is about all I have a hope of using here, I suppose if fag breaks are making me sick it'll help me knock the smoking on the head altogether and it'll have done its job...

grindle

Cartos - keep them fairly well soaked? Not drowning, but when you sense a drop in flavour/vapour, it's time to fill it.

E-SI have the nicest range of flavours to put into an empty carto.

As for the throathit...

I dunno? Are you inhaling directly to your lungs instead of mouth, then lungs?
That's usually what makes most of the uninitiated choke.

It takes a powerful vape to hit me the way rollies used to, so the idea of this set packing a huge throathit confuses me.

Searches for ESI just bring you to this forum, do you have their full name?

EsmokeIreland i believe is ESI. Could be wrong, i'm just guessing

Okay I ordered the Orange and the Rasberry Lemonade from them because Id seen good reviews in a few places already, thanks for that.

Thargor

Had a slightly better experience with the menthol, didn't smoke any fags today and didn't have the urge to either and by my third fag break I was actually enjoying the hit, just need to get some decent flavours now and Id say Ill be able to make the switch, all the Jacvapours I tried apart from menthol are vile and the tobacco carts are so evil Id say they're costing themselves customers with them.

Are any of these cheaper Wingnut flavours nice does anyone know?

http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/category-s/1818.htm

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i would imagine all of them but the ones i've tired that are nice

orange ice pop
banana tart
ry-c10
swedish fish (kind of fruity refreshers)


the liqua tobaccos are nice, traditional and american are very good.... i prefer turkish to american but it seems to be an accquired taste

the el toro cigarillos naturales is lovely too

Thargor

Ah crap I didn't realise there were 3 more pages of flavours until you said Swedish Fish, if Id known that last night I would have spent 30 quid trying a load of them instead of the 2 flavours I got from Highbrow, ah well Ill know in future, if it gets me off the fags it will have been worth it, thanks Digby.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

heh

juices are the most expensive part of using an e-cig unless you have the self control not to go around ordering everything that sounds delicious from every website out there

Thargor

Ah its alright, just realised Im comparing 10 ml Wingnut vs 30 ml Highbrow and the amount of good reviews Ive read of the Highbrows means I should be okay.

Very difficult:p

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah ive only tried two highbrows but all their juices get very good reviews, you should be fine

back to the subject of Jacvapour. I am now using his Vanilla carts 24mg, and I have to say it is even more tasty than the coffee from smokegreen BUT. My vGo 1300 mAh just sucks the life out of the cart, am using 2 carts and starting a 3rd cart in one day, so was going to order a bottle of Vanilla to reduce the amount of carts, I think they use Dekang Have seen DK on their site, does TBS also use Dekang? if so I will order my vanilla from them if it is the same juice.
Can anyone help answer that for me.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

most of the irish sites have dekang juices afaik

some have other juices as well as dekang but the "standard" juices are generally dekang

Cheers Digs, will order a few bottles, BTW is there any difference in taste between PG and VG in the same juice might order some VG as the Vanilla PG at 24mg is a bit of a throat ripper, will try the VG at 24 that should reduce the TH and give me extra vapour.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

umm.. pg carries flavour a little better but I dont know if you'd notice much tbh

afaik the dekang juices are all 75pg25vg or 80/20 so it's not like you'll be vaping 100%pg, it might be the nicotine that's ripping the throat off you... drop down to 18?

Might try that then, never saw myself coming down from 24 but there's a first for everything.

Thargor

Well Ive been having much better results with this, haven't smoked a fag since last Friday and the Orange de Sangria is a lovely flavour, like its actually an enjoyable smoke now, especially after food and tea or alcohol which is what I really missed other times I tried to quit. The 30 ml highbrow bottles are going to last way longer than I thought aswell, Ive refilled a cartomiser twice in the last 5 days and it barely used anything, there must be hundreds of fags worth in a bottle.

The longer I use it the more my brain sees the e-cig as just a completely normal smoke and the thought of smoking a roll-up now just isn't very appealing at all. There really is a 3-day hump to get over like some websites say though, I was thinking about returning it to Jacvapour for a refund because I was seriously not happy with it at the start.
