Oops sorry, forgot to add that tidbit - it's PG :)

I might consider it, but if anyone else wants to jump in that's OK with me.

In honesty, I'm thinking of packing in the whole lark pretty soon (bit of an annoyance to me considering I just bought a Mini Nova and another 30ml of juice).

Been thinking about it, and the past year I've been struggling with some serious spots/acne, which is beginning to look more and more cystic to me, and it coincides with my attempt at having a go with mainly VG liquids. I've packed in the VG (still have a load left over), but even with going back on PG the problem has followed and there seems to be nothing I can do about it.

It's gotten to the point where it's very embarassing, and very frustrating. I'm spending money on all sorts of facial cleansers, washes, moisturisers, protectors and what have you and nothing works. I can wash my face 15 times a day and still, each of the same areas just breaks out in a MASSIVE welt one after the other in succession. They're leaving scars and blemishes and I really just don't feel happy about it.

It all really coincides with that one decision... "I'll just try some mainly VG out and see how it is."

Will make an appointment with the docs in case it's something else, as I did make major changes to my diet and lifestyle around the same time that I took up vaping so perhaps there's something in that, too, but I've also been warned by my dentist that my gum health is deteriorating, and I've also noticed staining on one of my teeth (the closest tooth where my PV tip goes in my mouth) and on the rear of some of my lower ones, where it would be inhaled.

So yeah... I think I've gotta stop. :(
 
As has no doubt has been asked a million times in this thread, I'm a nasty smoker and I'd like to move on to vaping/e-cigarettes. Any starting suggestions for a total noob such as myself?

I went for the Ego-C 650mah battery, Ego Vision Clearo, and some e-liquid I liked the sound of. Oh, and don't forget a USB charger. No doubt everyone else has got their own recommendations though.

8 Days without a cig now, feeling great!

I can't say I've had a problem with my VG juices (been on mainly VG for nearly a year now), but I can relate with the gum health. I found being religious about using mouthwash morning and night has pretty much resolved that, but it flares up if I get lazy and stop. Bit of a pain, but smoking wasn't helping my dental health either (just hidden because of reduced blood flow to my gums apparently). I had these black lines in the grooves in the back of my front lower teeth, but I can't say they've returned since I started vaping. Anyway, sucks that you're having a bad time of it, but I think it would be easier to give up vaping than cigs so best of luck to you.
 
Just got my v2.1 lavatube, and I'm a bit confused. When I put the battery in the screen blinks a few times, but I can't seem to get it to do anything else. I'll admit I haven't charged the batteries yet so they might be flat, in which case I'll feel a bit of a fool! I know some of you have the same one from vapour hut so did yours come charged?

It Did come charged. The screen flashes to tell you the battery's in the right way round. You need to turn it on by pressing the power button quickly 5 times - quicker than you press the eGo's button.

Aha! Didn't realise I had to press it that quickly! Cheers!

edit: 4v on a mega dc carto is epic! Looks like my ego batts were a bit lower volts than I thought
 
If it's the same as mine, it starts green without a battery in it. Red when charging, orange when nearly charged. Thenback to green when its charged.

Is your LT working on all your cartos? It won't pick up some of mine at all, even though they work on my ego batteries. Even one of the ones that came with it didn't work.
 
Ah cheers. I've only tried it on 2 cartos and one of the clearos it came with, but it works fine and sees the resistance fine. Unless the resistance is below 1.3A (my cartos show 1.5 and 1.6A) they should be fine. Maybe ring Alex at vapour hut and ask him.
 
well ive ordered the ego replaceable and 30ml of menthol smooth 0mg, i thought at £6 its worth a punt.

can any one tell me what stainless steal wicks provide over standard ones? there is a tut on how to fit one to the ego.
 
Just for reference, CE4 clearos are rubbish. Tried the ones that came with my LT, and the flavour is non-existant, unless you consider the plastic-y overtones to be flavour. Do not want. I have 1.6ml in there that are now useless, so I'll vape it anyway to just give it a fair trial.

Edit: after giving it some time to bed in and dropping voltage to 3.9v the flavour has come back, and the weird plastic flavour is gone. Nowhere near as good as the dc carto though, but it does look nicer with the chrome so I'll use it anyway :p

Gotta say, I'm nervous about vaping my LT in train stations now (enquired with cust info and they're fine with it btw) just because I'm worried someone will mistake it for some kind of terrorist device and shoot me in the head before I can explain lol. Backpack and a big metal tube with a button on it doesn't look good!

Just got an imist atomizer (£8.50), only used it for 1 day but so far it has the best out of the box / new performance of any atomizer i have tried, blows the ego c type away. Seems there is also a newer V2 imist aswell, haven't tried that yet.

Update on the visions egos, found that certain juices crack them, so thats where the problem is, just need a list of which juices that is now, would be nice for the sites to list that on the product page or give some warning.
 
Cracked open my Vivi Nova Mini today, and while it took a little breaking in it's now starting to hit the spot. Initially, with the already fitted 1.8ohm atomiser head, vapour was somewhat lacking, and flavour was nonexistent save for that horrible CE2 style plastic/chemical taste.

Here it is on my VV box mod (3.7, 4.2 and 5v selectable):

Now that I've been puffing away during the day, the chemical taste is gone and it's really starting to belt out the clouds at 4.2v. Flavour is still not what you'd get from a Boge carto, but it's getting there. Hold a good amount, is very easy to fill, and doesn't take up a lot of space to it's thumbs up from me for now.

Just took another drag and MAN, it really does belt it out in terms of vapour once it's on the go. Looking forward to eventually getting the other heads to 5v (the 1.8ohm produced a burnt taste, predictably).

Yeah, I found it the same. It took a little while to get going, but once it was its brilliant. Easily my favourite tank I've got on the go at the moment.

I did see a review of the nova 2.5 and that looks just as good as the mini. It was an American review though, so will have to wait for it turn up in the UK.



On another note: I got in touch with vapourhut about the problems I was having with my lavatube and Alex suggested a couple of things. It's now working brilliantly and I'm loving being able to run 4.5V through a standard carto, it gives a much more satisfying vape.
 
Ok guys have been loving my ego twist and vivi nova with griswalds juice very nice
also loving vapeescapes ry4 so tasty it is well worth a go. now onto the not so good ordered 3 20ml bottles of juice from really-ecigarette.com i ordered gold and silver ry4 and virginia blend and to be honest i think it is totally rank so smoky that i can not taste anything but smoke. So if anyone wants it give me a shout and you can have it.

Maybe it is just not for me and a more expierienced vapor will find it nice but for me it is a no no.

Anything worth sharing? I've found I had to drop my volts because it was TOO satisfying and anything more than a few puffs would send my head spinning, and the throat hit was insane. 4-4.2V on a mega DC seems to work about right for me. 3.9V on the clearo is alright (virtually no TH though), but they seem to wick very poorly.
 
So i was sat in the pub last night merrily puffing away like i normally do in there and two bouncers came up and told me i wasn't allowed to use it according to the manager :/ To say i was annoyed is an understatement as it's legal.

I've sat in there using it quite a few times and never had anything said before too! It's about time the government did some proper research on them and educate people about the fact that they're not like cigarettes so there isn't this disdain for them like there is with fags.
