So are the vapourireland ego-t's knock offs?

Yup, buy the original from the vapourstore ,far better vape and built better in general, I didn't realise until I got one.

Hi can anyone tell me where I can buy e cigarettes in Galway city, I currently have no credit in my credit card so cannot buy online is there any stores in the city? I left my nicotine cartridges up in Sligo for the Intellicig one and need to buy replacement cartridges for it and have ran out, currently I am back on the roll ups for the mom.

1. www.thevapourstore.ie - Galway, no pickup
2. www.thebestshop.eu - Oranmore, pickup available. You can visit them and touch everything.
Both stores accept Laser Cards.

Finally took the plunge. Silver Bullet (Silver Vein finish) ordered from iVapour Elixir in the UK. I cannot wait to get a hold of this thing. Decided to treat myself, 7 months off the fags today! Which can be verified from my first post on this very thread! Thanks again all.

Mezamo · 06-05-2011 10:56pm

I've been vaping now for 10 weeks with the ego-T. Does anyone else notice that the atomisers are inconsistent as f##k or is it just me? The first lasted two weeks then the next few a week maybe two... They all start leaking juice everywhere.. I clean them and they do the same again. Is anyone else having he same problems with the tank system?

Mez.

O'Prez · 06-05-2011 11:03pm

Yes. I find the lifespan to be very bad and they either vape great or hardly at all. Moody little f*ckers. Leakage is not too bad but does happen. I was able to get a few months out of the regular atties but 2 or 3 weeks (if I'm lucky) is all I get out of the tank before the performance goes down the tubes.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 07-05-2011 12:57pm

yeah i'm noticing the same, but I prefer the tank so much to the dripping that I'm willing to shell out for a new atty every 2 weeks or so just for the convenience of it.
even if I was getting an atty every week, it still works out so much cheaper than the cigarettes that I don't mind at all, especially with next day delivery.

Yeah. I'm of the same opinion. I'd never go back to direct dripping now and I was spending 80 quid a week on the fags.

puffmullett · 09-05-2011 1:53pm

10 days or so using the ego-T, haven't had an analogue since. One of my atomisers died after about 3 days but to be honest I am probably to blame for that (over use!).

I'm travelling later on in the week & I'm debating whether or not to bring it with me, I'll only be away for a day.

Has anyone had any experience bringing e-cigs through security in Dublin?

Nonamigo · 09-05-2011 1:56pm

there shouldn't be any problems. just make sure you put juice in the separate bag with other liquids. I had mine disconnected and had no problems at all.

Elevelyn · 09-05-2011 8:53pm

Has anyone tried clearomisers? they look cool and was thinking of trying some out. Just wondering what the flavour is like cause I find that its hit and miss with tanks

Just came back from Malaga today with no problems, get yourself a liquid bag put your juice in and off you go!

Tayla · 10-05-2011 6:55pm

Guys where do you get your Halo liquid from? I've been buying from the vapour store but they seem to be letting all their stock run out and don't seem to be replenishing any when they sell out, they have a note up saying their order has been severely delayed but it looks like they won't be getting them in again because they've been gradually running out for a couple of months now.

I know you can order from the U.S site but i'm looking for somewhere a bit closer, it was handy getting next day delivery from the vapourstore so if anyone can recommend somewhere that sells Halo Juice in the UK then that would be great.:)

Been using them almost exclusively for about 2 weeks...find them very good, both in terms of flavour and vapour. Main niggle is wicking, doesn't overly bother me, i'm just used to tipping the ecig over after every couple of drags, works for me.
For me they require a clean out and dry burn every 2-3 fills, or the flavour falls away. Brings them back to god as new. The plastic is very light, so its very prone to cracking around the base, leading to leaks....

I find a clearomiser on an ego with a cone for stability is a great ecig.

syklops · 11-05-2011 7:55am

Just spotted this on dealxtreme. As with a lot of things on dealxtreme its only $5, so if its crap than you have not lost very much. Might be useful for someone if they have been considering trying out e-cigarettes and dont want to spend a lot of money on it.

Now I am thinking about to try the LR eGo-T atty version... Does anybody have experience with those?

I thought they were ok. Not a huge difference to the standard and it won't be anymore reliable either. At the end of the day attys should be considered disposable items. Thats why I think it's always worth getting a few from china at a cheaper price if possible for backups when you have the time to wait for their delivery - http://www.heaven-gifts.com/gallery-169.html - I see they have a cylinder shape version there now. I wonder if they are any different.

Thanks Mewso!

What is your experience with buying from China? Delivery times? Have you had to pay any taxes upon arrival?

Never had to pay taxes. This may be down to luck as much as anything else but I've had several orders without any problem. I always go for the cheaper delivery option which might be a factor if it means it then comes via An Post instead of a courier. Not sure really. It has generally taken a couple of weeks on average to get here.

iPlop · 11-05-2011 1:47pm

Right Im 9 days into my holiday with the replacement eGo-T that I got from vapourireland and one of the batteries is fecked, the light stays on and theres very little power to the atty.

Sorry if I've confused you guys ,I've gon back to my old username.

The former incredible fridge:)

Oh_Noes · 11-05-2011 11:59pm

Still using my Generic Ego-T from VapourIreland, I got it two weeks ago; no problems yet (aparts from one of the tanks leasking inside of itself, but that might have been down to me modding it for a stronger drag).

I'm down to five 'analogues' a day as opposed to twenty, pretty effortlessy so long as I have the ego T handy. You really get the hang of it after a few weeks. Hopefully should be down to zero normal smokes in about a month or so if the e-cig holds up.

All good so far, would recommend these things to anyone, even the most sceptical. I've already saved enough using the Ego-T (and some extra) to cover the price of it and it's pretty nice not to always have ashtrays everywhere and always looking for a lighter

Samba · 13-05-2011 12:17am

Need some help!

I've spent the best part of 2 hours sifting through info and I still haven't been able to make a decision

Cliffs...

2 people and they are heavyish smokers who are looking to kick the habit. (24mg?)

To get them set up for 4 months and not requiring parts (with the exception of liquid) what would be the best bet for 2 people starting out?

Which vape? I've read countless reviews many of which are conflicting, is there any clear winner on the market?

I was considering the Ego 510 until I start reading about atts having a poor life span.... which ones have the best durability?

Anyone tried these guys?

http://www.vaporbomb.com

I just need to be swayed on choice of product and where to purchase really

mewso · 13-05-2011 9:27am

Hey Samba. Another degen looking to give up eh

Most here would agree the eGo-T (tank) is the best out of the box e-cig on the market. For two people for 4 months I would want at least 2 batteries each if not 3, 4 attys each if not more. Some here have found the Tank attys not lasting as long as expected. I've had decent life-span so it's luck of the draw as usual with these things. The only problem with stocking up for 4 months or so is liquid. Very much a personal preference. All I can say is the Joye Tobacco is very popular but only comes in 16mg/18mg.

eGo-T same as Tornado Tank
Joye Tobacco liquid same as Titan Tobacco

You are going to have to try a few different liquids before you know which ones to stock up on.

Hi Mewso,

I got one of these to try out, no difference really a bit thicker the whole lenght of the atty. The tank is a bit bigger feels more cigar thickness than cigarette thickness. The tank holds more liquid too.

theblueirish · 13-05-2011 3:38pm

Just got my delivery from http://www.e-liquid-store.com/index.php shipped from Hong Kong.

Ordered on April 29th arrived 9 am today.

Ordered their Menthol as I haven't been getting satisfied by thebestshop's menthol the last two orders, turns out its just the same so maybe me.

I have also ordered Mint, Red Cola and Rum.

Will keep you informed of what I think of them.

I'm pretty sure Heaven's Gifts have the Joye stuff. There are a couple of other chinese sites I have used that don't have the Joye but maybe Bauway (who do copies) so it looks to me like Heaven's Gifts have the license to sell the Joye products. Pretty sure I have attys I bought from them at home with eGo on them (standard mega attys I bought before the tank came on the scene).

I have one of these ones you got and just over two weeks now, one of the atomisers has just packed in. From VapourIreland.com. It says on their site now that they have two versions, a genuine Joye one and a slightly cheaper one . Quite frustrating since I paid €20 more than what they're selling it for now two weeks ago and it has stopped working since.

I'm not sure now if I should go elsewhere and buy a whole other starter kit from a more honest site or just replace the atomisers, Are the batteries and chargers on these generics dodgy as well?

Any suggestions appreciated.

ziggy23 · 15-05-2011 10:31pm

Hi guys

I'm using the Jasper and Jasper ecigarette with the intention of hopefully giving up smoking altogether, I'm just wondering would anyone know where I could buy atomisers for it?

cheers

Tayla · 16-05-2011 1:05am

I'm still having no luck finding another supplier of Halo e-liquid.
Anyone know of any others apart from the vapour store?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 17-05-2011 1:08pm

got some dk-tab ejuice from vapourstore.. god damn this **** *stinks*

it tastes lovely, but it smells so strong.. the juice and the vapour. when I took it out of the envelope I thought I'd randomly pissed myself without realising. and If I leave the room and come back in after having been vaping, it's... strong.

Funndy · 17-05-2011 2:35pm

Has anyone tried out the new 510-t yet - any results to report back?

TheDoc · 17-05-2011 6:12pm

Well been reading this thread through, granted have skipped a few pages here and there.

I'm 23 and been smoking since I was about 16 and smoke about probably 10-13 a day.

I work in a call centre and noticed a guy in the team beside me shooting what looked like smoke in the air, of course I leaned over and he was telling me about his E-Cig.

He got an intellicig starter pack from a chemist for €25 and he had alot of good information on it for me, skeptical, he gave me a drag.

I have to admit I could feel the hit on my lungs and it was clean and crisp, I was really impressed.

Our company are cool with these so it definitly is a conviniance being able to smoke at the desk, plus it would be ideal for me at home, sitting infront of a pc for most of the day, and as someone who would like to cut down early in life.

Reason I'm here is to get more feedback on a widespread basis, I havnt seen this model talked about in any detail from the search function ( mybad if i missed)

But I'm looking at this package, going with 10mg cartidges, simply cause my smoke box says 10mg ( If I'm wrong on how this works please please fill me in )

http://www.intellicig.com/black-evolution-25-p-154:ba382603fecb992b232f49f5ec5b49e0.html

Having something to cut down the actual horrible ****e chemicals from fags, being able to smoke this in work and at my pc, sounds like a winner.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

And btw fantastic thread just found it today and it was a brilliant read from start to finish

theblueirish · 17-05-2011 6:32pm

Its a matter of opinion but I would go for this if starting again.

Could I also suggest that you go for Menthol flavour because it will change the taste that you get while Vaping ( smoking) - and if you are tempted to pick up a cigarette some night it will taste vile.

wingnut32 · 17-05-2011 6:52pm

Folks, can anyone vouch for the ry4 from thebestshop. €14 for 50ml seems like great value compared to whats on the vapour store.

mewso · 17-05-2011 7:48pm

Intellicig sell old outdated models for way over the odds and bland tasteless liquids. They sided against all other suppliers in the UK over the proposed medicalisation of e-cigs in the hope that they could corner the market. For this and many other reasons I will never buy anything from them.

Unfortunately they seem to have gotten their weak-ass product into a lot of pharmacies so I hear a few people mention them. They may well fullfil a need for some but they are not a good product imo. and from what I've seen from a pack a girl had at work they are being sold in a way that forces people to purchase the kit each time if their battery dies or they run out of carts unless they go online. Sneaky bastards deserve no business from anyone.

Cheers for the info man, yeah they are available in chemist etc, was down at the local at lunch having a nosey and thought I'd hang off until I heard more news here and it seems the case, will check the links above to see whats what

Oddly enough I'll have to think about this, I'm more considering this sort of item so it saves me guff at home, not able to smoke in the house so always trapsing out the back is annoying, having something to puff on while at the pc sounds like a winner to me, those links are blocked in here but will check it out when i get home

***

Turns out I can actually get that website in here

OK

So this thread is pretty big. I'm a starter looking to just see if I'd be into the whole thing and if its a good substitute. Not looking to break the bank but just something to try for a week/month.

Flavors arnt really a big thing, its more just getting a good throat hit, and having a device that is efficent and good interms of use and battery.

Suggestions a welcome guys

And I'll promise to report back my findings

The eGo-T is pretty much where it's at as things stand in the e-cig world. I suspect something like the intellicig provides enough of a hit to make some people stick with it but mainly because they don't realise there's anything better out there. Sadly many will go back to smoking without investigating further. €56 for an eGo-T starter 'aint that much in the grand scheme of things especially if helps you cut down.

Manchgreen · 17-05-2011 11:40pm

I bought an EGO Tank from the Vapour Store over 11 weeks ago (and still using it

) I have to change the atomiser about every two weeks. I bought a friend one from Vapour Ireland about seven weeks ago and she does not need to change her atomiser at all. We are both using it full time (without any cigarettes). I've left my charger with spare battery in work (accidentally) on a few occasions plugged into my PC and have borrowed my friends spare battery - and it seems that my atomiser works better (more vapour/throat hit) when I use hers, even when my own atty is near the two weeks old point. I don't know whether the batteries she received were just luck of the draw 'good'. but it does seem to make a difference even though I know from previous messages that the Vapour Ireland ones are 'copies'. Anyways I'm going to order a battery from them soon and I'm wondering if the normal EGO battery fits the Tank or if I have to get the EGO T battery. I'm asking this bacause on the vapour store there is no EGO T version of the battery. I'm a bit confused as I haven't bought a battery yet (only what came in the starter packs).

Thanks in advance

mewso · 17-05-2011 11:42pm

All I have is standard eGo batteries. They work fine with the tanks.

Manchgreen · 17-05-2011 11:49pm

Thanks Mewso, that's great, will try them as that's all I presume my friend got in the starter pack

iwantadonkey · 18-05-2011 12:42am

total beginner here,confused as hell reading this thread

just ordered a tornado tank starter kit (the small one)
and a few small bottles of liquid
should i order another battery and atomiser as well?any suggestions to what else i need?
really excited for it to arrive now!

ColeTrain · 18-05-2011 9:13pm

Well I've read a bit of this thread, think I'm going to chance trying this out. I'm spending too much on tobacco and want to get off it while I'm still young.

Just a couple of questions, completely new to this.

I'm thinking of getting the JOYE EGO starter kit off Vapour Ireland for €56. It doesn't come with liquid so would this be okay to get with it for €15?

How long could I expect to get off 50ml and is the tobacco flavour worth getting? I'm not a big fan of menthol cigarettes.

Any help would be appreciated, cheers.

Yep, what you have there is the best way to start off, I get 2 weeks out of 50ml of liquid , the eGo-T is the best cig out at the moment and a very good one to start off with.I use the menthol liquid you have linked to, and I like it a lot to other liquids.

Best of luck:)

I got a dodgy copy from them and emailed them about it when the first atomiser broke (two weeks after I recieved it). The customer service was great, the guy rang me up and explained that they are now stocking genuine products and he sent me out a JoyE branded atomiser and told me that if the other one goes, he'll replace that too. It did break so I mailed him but the mail bounced.

So I don't know what the story is there, they obviously have a lot of the dodgy stock as well as the branded stuff. I will update on this if he sends a second atomiser just to be fair because the customer service was very good. But for now, I'd say avoid them while they're still shipping the dodgy generic stock.

mewso · 18-05-2011 11:54pm

So ColeTrain you may want to consider thevapourstore as an alternative as it is definitely the right product.

Just browsing on Heaven's Gifts and I see there is a Joye 510-T now. Interesting.

Nope ,they're pure shíte tbh, they do sell original joytech attys, but the full kit is a bad copy of the eGo-T.Two full kits lasted me 4 weeks, I just buy liquid from them now.
