I've got a Jacvapour V1P currently, but I was looking at buying some Vision Nano Clearomisers but from the looks of things the JV V1P kit uses different connectors to other clearomisers\cartos?

http://db.tt/a7O5sc9x

Is there any kinda adapter which I can get to change it up? Or do I have to keep buying JV cartos?

Maybe pick yourself up a nice coffee liquid. I always loved decadent vapours' cafe braziliano.

On another note, my capella concentrates arrived today! :D
 
Hallo guys!

I'm here for some advice, I think I came a while ago but now I'm going to see through. I'm fed up of the mother smoking so after an hours worth of moaning it's time to buy one.

I have absolutely no clue on what I need in order to get one working, can someone explain to me everything you'd need to get started and what you need to keep it going?

What are you after? Is your mother a heavy smoker?
The general consensus is to avoid the "cig-alikes" (although most start with them as they are the more common ones on the high street) and go straight to an "Ego" type device. The benefits of this being better battery life and more choice in what/how you vape. You're not limited to one brand of pre-filled cartomiser (often mis-sold as the equivalent of 40 stinkies! :mad:) which in my own experience only lasts a couple of hours before needing replacing/refilling.

I would always recommend these guys: Vapeland.co.uk Vision V3 Ego Starter Kit £26.99
It's a decent kit at a good price - 2x 900mah (Cig-alikes are around 180mah!) Ego batteries, so should last the day with 2x Vision V3 Clearomisers - rebuildable, meaning you don't have to replace the whole atomiser once it starts to lose performance.

Add some juice (Most people starting out will assume they want a Tobacco/Cigarette flavour, such as this Marlboro wannabe, but quickly switch to nicer, fruity flavours. A few will go for RY4 as it is a tobacco flavour, but with more of a sweet nutty, caramel, cake taste. Not all RY4 flavours are the same!) making sure you buy small amounts - JooseJuice is very good value for ordering 10ml samples - £1.49 plus very reasonable p&p (depending on the size of your order)...

I'd grab a few spare heads to replace the coil in the clearomiser, or buy a couple of different types (Kanger Evods are excellent value and perform very well, or spend a but more on a Kanger ProTank for pretty much the best atomiser at it's price point) - all readily available at most vaping sites, prices can vary wildly, but don't forget to allow for p&p as some do take the Micky!

Get on over to www.ukvapers.org Forum for an excellent community with some great, very helpful people. It has a huge section on Advice & Guides, Tips & Tricks, for making the most out of your vape gear!

If I can be of any more help to you, don't hesitate to ask - there's a few experienced Vapers, plus more of us who've jumped on the ride - it seems daunting at first, but you'll learn the jargon pretty quickly! :D

Vaping is fiddly sometimes, is she the kind of mum who can't work a Sky box or mobile phone? My mother was amused by my ecig habit but really didn't get it at all. She still smokes ~5 cigs a day. I'd prefer she didn't but you know what they say about leading a horse to water and all. Do your best, I wish you luck :)

Personally, the least difficult gear to get working properly is eGo batteries and good quality cartomisers like Boge + flavour/strength of choice.

The Vision rebuildables are alright though
 
Aye she is the kind of person which will check 4 sides of the iPad and then realise the first side actually had the lock button on it.

She knows she has to stop smoking and she really has no clue on any of it, I don't mind putting my hand in my pocket if it doesn't work, it doesn't work but atleast it's an avenue explored.

I'm going to head to bed in a min, but I'll make a note to check YouTube for a video taking on apart and explaining everything and see what to buy, I did say about flavours and her comment was just keep it as tobacco however I'm she'd be open to try new flavours, especially if they're so cheap.

Edit:

So something like this would do?

I'd be happy to update it. It is a bit dated at this point, but everything changes so quickly with vaping! If anyone has any suggestions I'll gladly take them on board. I'll clear out the dead links and outdated recommendations when I get a moment on my pc.

That kit would be grand. Flavours can take a bit of experimentation (as does nicotine strength) so it might be worth getting a selection or at least two different ones. Tobacco liquids often taste more like a pack of cigarettes smells rather than how a cig tastes, so don't fall for big claims that they taste like B&H etc. There are some very realistic flavours out there, but theyre a bit pricey (eg el Toro el cigarillos, which is amazing).

You're pretty much spot on, but I'd also recommend adding a couple of these: http://www.vapeland.co.uk/vision-v3-spare-coil-head-111-p.asp - there's nothing worse than running out of vape gear, it's when you're most likely to lapse and purchase a packet of stinkies to "tide you over" whilst your supplies are on the way...
The Evods are a better performing clearomiser than the kit V3: http://www.vapeland.co.uk/kanger-evod---bottom-coil-clearomizer-482-p.asp again, grab some spare heads (make sure they're compatible).
Or invest in a ProTank, easily my favourite, faff-free clearomiser: http://www.vapeland.co.uk/kanger-pro-tank-483-p.asp

And I'd also recommend adding a 10ml sample of something like Apple, Peach or whatever kind of sweet flavour your mother enjoys. The sooner she disassociates Vaping from Smoking, the sooner she'll feel like she's achieved something.

You'll also need to explain that Vaping needs a different type of inhale to get the Nicotine into her system - it's almost like drawing on a cigar, slowly into the mouth and then into the lungs. I was disappointed with my e-cig-alike until I'd sussed this out.

Thanks guys :D I'll buy a few flavours, you seem to have linked the same kit but in silver did you mean to link another couple of clearomizers?

Edit: Another thing, how long does 30ml actually last if a packet lasts 2 days on average?

My trustfire charger just stopped working. I never really liked it, it took over 12 hours to charge my 18650 batteries - is that normal? Also seems a bit like a knock off with a dodgy trustfire label on the back that wasn't exactly cut out square.

I've gone for the Nitecore Intellicharger i4 Li-Ion battery charger for Li-Ion, NiMh and NiCd. Hopefully it will charge faster and last more than a couple of months. Its from Torchys ebay.

I intent to take the trustfire back to the shop and exchange it, keeping it for a backup only.

You'll be happy with it. I love mine.

Fixed & added a couple more links.

My first 30ml Apple (from Vapeland, funnily enough) lasted me just about 4 weeks - but that was refilling my starter cig-a-like Cartomisers. As soon as I bought a Vamo and Vivi Novas, my juice consumption went up! I now average approx 8-10ml a week. But then I am vaping the best Apple Tart flavour from Simon (juice maker extraordinaire)... :p
