Just bought my first e-cig. I have been researching it for a while and a couple of work colleagues have used them quite some time. I finally purchased the following (based on recommendation):

- 6ML Dual Coil Tank - Single
- Tornado-T E-NIC Mega 1000mAh Manual Battery
- 510 Titan USB Charger
- Menthol e-liquid (18mg).

Looking forward to giving it a try.

My first try this week. Riva Deluxe 1100 kit, with an Ego Vision clearomiser. I must say, this does the job. A nice substitute to the rollies.

I've purchased middle of the road 20mg bottle, which is actually stronger than I expected. I'll probably go down to 10mg soon.

So far so good.
 
Can anyone tell me the following :

Why the fluid looks burnt in the ego tank type thing after a day

AND

Why my HS menthol sensation sample just doesn't seem to vape :(

Thanks muchly!

I usually go
2.6ml 54mg nic
3.6ml VG
1ml PG
30 drops (which I roughly equate to 1ml as they're tiny drops from those bottles) of flavouring.

That should be about 18mg strength

First thing, did you purchase actual e-liquid (complete with nicotine and base) or flavouring concentrate by mistake?

The discolouration of the liquid is pretty normal, but for clear liquids like menthol I wouldn't expect it to be very noticeable? What's the flavour like?
 
Should be fine. Some juices are predominatly pg base, and don't produce much visible vapour (good throat hit though). Could just be that. The flavour should be normal and consistent though so if you're having a burnt taste then you are having wicking issues. or if you are getting a gurgling noise from your atty it may be flooded which can also halt vapour production.

I had the same issue .. It seems to be abit to thick (ego-c) The darker colour is where the burnt juice is burnt back into the tank as its not wicking properly .

When i first got it i added a little pg to a mixer bottle .. also used vodka which fixed it .. I smoke hs menthol all the time and it has just stopped clogging now .. Although on the odd occasion it can go abit funny . Priming before use cures it as well
 
I experienced thickening and darkening of certain liquids in my clearo, i did a little research and some posters on other forums accredited this to certain mixes of pg/vg wicking the thinner content of the of the liquid away first leaving behind a thicker more concentrated darker liquid, saying that as the liquid concentrated became harder to wick. seemed to make sense.

on the menthol tobacco form TW, its lacking in menthol. the minty hit is weak, im going to mess around ith quantities but i don't think i would like the tobacco flavor to be more predominant really, i do like the tobacco flavor so probably better buying the standard tobacco flavor and a stronger mint to mix with it.

Now the pleasant discovery, sarsaparilla. lovely vape and not overly sweet with a nice smoothness. perfectly suited to winding down it after a long day, the flavor is delicate but boy is it nice.
i want to experiment with this and concoct a sasp tobacco mix as i think it would make a fantastic vape, kind of a decadent flavor that isnt like a confectionery, i think it may benefit from a little vanilla in the background too to blend it together.
 
I need some advice, chaps.

I am an ex social smoker and I only vape at home when having a beer, or a stealth vape when out having a beer. So I only really vape over the weekends.

What is a good upgrade to an SD keyring which I have been using? I only ask as the last two I have had have not lasted too long. I think the stock of them is getting old now and the batteries are not lasting very well.

I have seen a few stealth vaping kits, including the soon to be released SD KEYRING MAXI KIT, but don't know what works the best and easiest. There is the VISION EGO KIT, OLYMPIAN MINI EGO KIT and a few others. What is a quality one and one that with preferably work with boge standard resistance carto's, as I have quite a lot of these already. Also are clearomisers much better?

Don't really want to spend more than £20 as I just don't vape that much. Got plenty of juice as well.

Finally sorted my issue with the nova not fitting my LT. Got a 510-ego adaptor and type F plinth from cloud9. Quite happy with it (specifically the flavour is cleaner) although the 2.8ohm head is the only one I get on with. It has a different wick to the others (single thick rope as opposed to the others with multiple smaller strands). Got some RY4 concentrate from cloud 9 and it is amazing. very well balanced, weighing heavily on the caramel and vanilla but with a light nuttiness of tobacco to counter the sweetness. Liking it a lot so far.

Ego battery and some form of carto. I like smok mega dual coils (generally one fill gets me through the day as a heavy vaper), but the boge cartos seem to be pretty popular too.

They like being topped up btw. If you notice your throat hit disappearing but flavour and vapour seem okay, it's probably time for a top up (or a fresh battery).

I dont mind so much the throat hit being weak as I've started vaping to quit smoking.

As long as i get my nicotene to stop me snarling at people, it's all good.

My opinion will probably change if I start enjoying it though. If I do then expect "DEVRIJ I HAVE MOAR QUESTIONS!!" in a months time. :p :D

These are perfect with a Boge LR carto

If you're using standard boge's, bet the Variable voltage version

Cheers guys. Just ordered an eGo 650mah battery, a charger and a couple of clearomisers just to see what they are like. :)
 
OK, time for me to give up the fags and so I'd like to give vaping a go. I've read some of this thread but I'm a bit confused with regards to the liquid.

I was thinking of getting the TECC Microlite Cartomizer to see if I get along with vaping as its relatively cheap. The description says it comes fully ready for a new user, but do I need to buy e-liquid on top of this as I can't see it listed as included with the product?

Bit of a noob question I know, but not sure I'm clear on how these work.

The cartomisers should come pre-filled, but you can always rinse them out, let dry and then use a liquid of your choice after vaping what's in there. Alternatively, you can pick up replacement carto's and fill them yourself once the supplied ones wear out. There's a good guide video on filling cartos here

If you're starting out, I recommend going for 11mg or 18mg nicotine strength juice depending on how much you currently smoke, just until you find your groove. Some flavours are great, others are rank, so it's just a case of finding one you like as your tastebuds come back to life.
