Ordered 2 x AW IMR14500's from cloud 9 instead, expensive shipping but I'll have them this week and I know the battery's are good quality.

Got a trustfire charger aswell

That's always the trade-off with DX, they have great prices but you have to be willing to wait.

Dan Jaman wrote:

Hmmm. I've avoided my house burning down by not buying lithium batteries from DX - or cheap chargers, either.

I see your point, and I know a lot of their stuff is just pure crap. Their batteries seem to be decent though, or at least some of them anyway. I got two genuine protected panasonic 18650s there that seem fine, and I've seen DX recommended on a few other sites, though some of their unknown brand batteries may be a bit more iffy.

Dan Jaman · 20-08-2012 12:50pm

Some of DX's suppliers are as iffy as hell - I got some e-juice from them when I was starting out and it had me in spots. I don't know what that supplier was making it from , but it sure wasn't food grade PG and likely made in a bathtub.
Going by the reports of Trustfire and Ultrafire batteries on candlepower forums, it's a total crapshoot whether you get exploding batteries or not. On balance, imo, it's worthwhile paying a bit extra to get batteries that are sourced from a genuine supplier and not something very dodgy.

Stealthirl · 21-08-2012 2:03am

Ok so i got my old lavatube replaced and now the new one is flashing LO on the screen when i try to vape and when i put a fresh charged battery in it only shows 1bar of charge on the screen

Dose this with every atty i try along with showing 0.0 ohm's when i cheak any atty

What am i doing wrong here ?

grindle · 21-08-2012 8:10am

Is the atty screwed on too tight? Try checking the ohmage while slowly twisting it on.
If it's anything like mine, there's a narrow window of firing opportunity.

If it's doing it with every atty it's probably an internal short in the lavatube itself.

ESI still not open.. If I run out of Vampires Kiss I'll stomp my feet

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 21-08-2012 5:30pm

yeah it does seem to be taking a long time for the new host to get up and running

cant really afford to buy anything atm but Im still dying for a look

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 21-08-2012 6:13pm

Update - we are still waiting to be moved over to our new host, hopefully this will be complete by the middle of the week. If anyone needs something urgently contact us at info@e-smokeireland.

eeloe · 21-08-2012 8:17pm

Sound enough to deal with that way too! Thats how I got my provari! :-)

chacal · 22-08-2012 8:20pm

Eagerly awaiting my Clockworks RTA. Looking for advice (and link to if anyone has one handy) on what drip tip will sit proudly on it. Went for polished aluminium. Cheers

grindle · 22-08-2012 8:22pm

Any of the Kir Fanis ones here would look pretty damn snazzy.

(Obviously not the imist-style)

Liberty are gonna be stocking AVEjuice soon, obviously their 3 most popular flavours, Bobas Bounty, Gorilla Juice and Hype...haven't tried Hype myself, but really looking forward to picking up some more Bobas!

Yup it was a failure of the seal (silicon o-ring) around "+" pin
I returned it [2nd one i have sent back] and i was offered a vmax in place of another Lavatube

Bart from TBS is top of my recomended vendors now for shure

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 23-08-2012 10:17pm

e-smokeireland.eu is finally back up

http://fdjbg.saezd.servertrust.com/Default.asp

with the weirdest URL

pricing on the houseofliquid stuff is the same.. surprised by that

typical the site comes on on thursday night though, be monday before I get any

Green Hornet · 23-08-2012 10:37pm

Feck it......out of the country next week and was hoping to get some of the cigarillo stuff. Ah well, just have to wait.

I see they supply Liqua 30ml for 9.25 + free shipping.......3 euro cheaper than TBS then.

Lot of good stuff there now.

Definitely upping the ante........

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 23-08-2012 10:43pm

if you order some you could probably ask them not to ship it until you get back. or you could take the chance and just wait

all I know is tomorrow morning there'll be at least 50ml of cigarillos and eden already spoken for

Green Hornet · 23-08-2012 10:49pm

Nah, I'll hold off until I'm back. Impressed with their stock actually. Nice to see new stuff locally. Even the Phoenix is a cheap option for somebody who didn't want to spend 40 euro on a Clockworks RDA. Don't know if it's any good or not but I suppose most drippers should work okay.

Seriously competitive prices for almost everything - free shipping too. Fair dues!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 23-08-2012 10:54pm

oh, the phoenix
that's what I wanted to order, thanks

it's free shipping up to 65 euro
10% discount code of boards on orders over 20

mrplop · 23-08-2012 11:00pm

More than upped the ante in my opinion.

That's serious inventory, you don't see a lot of that stuff in most UK stores.
Fair play to him, Paul's already got my business - looking at the goodies on the new site he's going to be getting a LOT more of my business!

Green Hornet · 23-08-2012 11:00pm

Damn it.....I was kind of feeling like quitting vaping, even didn't vape at all today until 12 o'clock. Felt a bit like hitting the wall and that it was nearly time to bite the bullet. Not go back to analogues but off the whole shebang. Kind of fed up with vaping and as much better than smoking as it is, I'd rather not be inhaling anything other than fresh air.

New stuff comes in and I'm dying to try it all again!

Good.

Better to spend money on cartos rather than death sticks mate.

Green Hornet · 24-08-2012 8:39am

Yeah - didn't intend going back on the death sticks though. Intended to quit vaping as well. Not ready yet though but it's my intention at some stage.

Dan Jaman · 25-08-2012 12:41am

e-smokeireland's new site seems flaky. I had to re-register and it won't process an order - gets stuck at the checkout.

eeloe · 25-08-2012 4:39am

Fire Paul an email, he'll sort ya out, he's only on a temporary server at the minute, probably some stuff still being sorted out!

Had the sme problem but in fairness to Paul he replied immediately to my mail. Bit of a pain having to re-register but **** happens.

Just one thing to note, esmoke Ireland has added a postal charge of 2.40. But there is a 10% discount code "boards" so you need to order €24+ to make it back

donkey oatey · 25-08-2012 11:33pm

called out to esi (or as i call it made a pilgrimage to the temple). great service and selection and got to chat about the different options which is great for a newbie like me.

eeloe · 26-08-2012 12:04am

Did you leave with any nice toys? :-)

donkey oatey · 26-08-2012 12:33am

left one of my 2 ego t batteries on the bus with my only mega dual coil on it (because i'm ditzy) so i got an ego t upgrade 1000mah, 3 mefa dual coils and 30ml of pink tiger (and met the tiger it's named after). not an exciting shopping list but i'm happy. love that pink tiger juice and the mega dual coils are the best cartomisers i've used so far.

eeloe · 26-08-2012 4:38am

Excellent. Glad your happy with your purchases. The 1000mAh batts are a life saver when you're gonna be away from a charger for quite a while!

mrplop · 26-08-2012 11:30pm

Got a few bits from ESI today.

The Kanger KR 510 clearos are really bloody good, no break in or wicking problems and super clean tasting. The liquid always sits right next to the head, don't know how it works this way either! It's the best small clearo I've ever used and less than €3.
I also got a Kanger T2 - also a brilliant clearo, not dissimilar from a Vision ego clearo but with a bigger capacity and replaceable heads.

Kanger cartos were always hit and miss for me but these clearos are really, really good.

eeloe · 27-08-2012 1:43am

Yeah I was just about to post about the KR 510, the tapered design traps juice around the wicks, great bloody design!

Like the way you can take the top and bottom off the mouth piece to wipe away condensation build up! Great clearos

sept09baby · 27-08-2012 1:55pm

Can't wait for payday tomorrow - tempted by loads on the site. Want to stock up on the essentials before vapefest

DirtyBollox · 30-08-2012 11:51pm

I think I have broken 1 of my 2 batteries that came with my ego-c

Basically i screwed the cone base on wrong and tightened it and now when i press the button on the battery nothing happens. the blue light comes on but the atty doesnt work and there is no noise from it at all, have tried charging it but the charger flashes red and then goes green straight away

i think i need a new one now and i need to get it and sort it out before vapefest

also anyone happen to know the name of the brick and mortar in the square? cant for the life of me remember the name of it.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 31-08-2012 7:59am

did you try this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIx9QRgggYM

DirtyBollox · 31-08-2012 9:04pm

digby you're a legend!!! worked perfectly! even worked on the cone base that was screwed on wrong to it that was pushed in too far or whatever too!!

All ready and primed for vapefest!!!

Nonamigo · 02-09-2012 12:20am

Does anyone know if e-smokeireland is going to accept debit cards any time soon? It would make it so much easier to pay for stuff:)

ooh2beagooner · 04-09-2012 1:59pm

hi all, looking for some advice.

I am a smoker of 20 a day for the past 20 years or so. Really starting to affect me now and have to give them up.
I have spent the last couple of days going through all the advice and information here and elsewhere. Still a bit confused but think I have the general gist to get started. Some advice to see if im on the right track here.

Batteries- the more ahms the longer it should last. Preferable to use a manual.

Atomiser/cartomiser- most batteries allow you to use either so long as they are compatible. i.e 510 thread.

liquid- varying strengths and flavours. cartridges and cartomisers can be refilled.

After that then there are a huge amount of options. Im looking to invest now in a starter pack that will initially get me off the fags or at least reduce them considerably. Preferably i would like the battery to last for most of the day and, as work is quite busy, something that does not require to be filled every time or too often. Also what additions should i include in my order- would like to have a couple of weeks supply at all times, just in case. Sorry I know this repeats a lot of what is already said but any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 04-09-2012 2:10pm

http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/xldcc.htm

handy starter kit

the batteries will last a day, most likely more
if you want to try something that isn't a cartomiser in the future you can just buy it and throw it on those batteries (so long as it has 510 or ego fittings, but you already figured that out)

youll want a mouthpiece too
http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/category-s/1822.htm

just slots into the top of the cartomiser, handier than wrapping your lips around a potentially warm carto

after that all you need is juice.

http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/eltorocn.htm I love this stuff but you're best off ordering a few 10ml bottles of different juices to figureout what you like

nicotine strength is never easy to say what you oughta get. 18 is a good round number for someone coming off the fags, if you get the 10ml bottles and think it's too high or too low at least you didnt spend too much money and it wont cost too much tog et another 10ml in a higher/lower strength

flavour wise.. everyone's pretty different. have a look in the juice review thread for what people like, e-smokeirelands juices are pretty good imo

ooh2beagooner · 04-09-2012 2:57pm

Thanks Digby,

Order placed, could be the start of a new life. Heres hoping.

Hi Elbow,

What do you mean my site? Im just going of what it says on the site. See below:

Classic and Design model batteries should hold their charge for around 7 hours of use, or 220 puffs, before needing a recharge. XL model batteries should hold their charge for around 9 hours of use and MAX model batteries for around 24 hours use.

Might say that on the site but in reality, hours use is closer to 100 mAh per hour. Just to add to this 'how long's a piece of string' question;
A 150 mAh will last maybe 2hrs and a 650, 6 to 7 hrs.
Depends on use of course but that seems to be the run of it here.
That site is too expensive anyway, same thing available elsewhere cheaper.

Yeah i see what you mean but I find them really reliable and the Vapestick brand are really nice. You get two of everything with the starter kits which is better than most. And its an Irish company so im staying green

2 of everything? You mean like almost every starter kit out there? Numerous Irish sites out there with reliable kits and competitive prices. I'd suggest go with Digby's advice

DirtyBollox · 05-09-2012 5:32pm

anyone ever hear of an ecig air locking? was smoking away on it and was getting little to no vapour on the thing. pulled out the cartridge to see if the hole was blocked and heard a hiss of pressure being released. am not happy. now the cartridge is not working when i press the button.

standard ego-c, battery cone base cone atty and cartridge with silicon base. somehow the silicon is all outta shape, i think it got melted.

just cleaned the whole rig cause i thought it was a bit too wet, put in a new atty, working fine now i hope, getting a constant burn anyway. i reckon i blew it somehow. oh well.

eeloe · 05-09-2012 6:49pm

It probably fired in your pocket for a while without you realising.

Happened me a few times, just make sure ya keep an eye on it, the LR ego c heads run really really hot for some reason, especially when chain vaping it!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 05-09-2012 6:57pm

just turn the battery off when you put it in your pocket

ive actually started using that feature a lot lately, never used to in the past
