Many things really. I really like the el Toro range from house of liquid as they have a really natural taste to them. I'm quite liking the TW gold standard juices too (blueberry is very nice). Also a big fan of Decadent vapours juices. Love their cafe braziliano. Not really a fan of the LF juices I've tried though.

Imagine blueberry pie filling. That's pretty much how it tastes, but not as sweet. If you like tobacco flavours then you HAVE to try el toro el cigarillos. Generally regarded as one of the best tobacco juices you can get.
Pretty much. Once your cartos start putting out less vapour or tasting a bit wack then bin em.
Glad you like it, I've been vaping it for about a month (in fact, I'm vaping it RIGHT NOW *vapes at desk*), and it's pretty awesome alright. Let me know what the other gold standard flavours are like as they seem to be quite good. I've got blueberry and Black magic so far. Black magic is good, but it's a bit boring. Kind of like milk chocolate (very convincing, like Galaxy bar) with a spiced tobacco background. Sweet flavours aren't really my thing though so someone else might like it better. It's definitely a secondary flavour I run alongside an all-day vape for when I feel like something different.
I'd like to hear what the menthol tobacco is like though

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
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!
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.
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.
Thanks
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).
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.
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.
Yep, except the last one is zero nicotine, but will have flavour and vapour. It isn't empty.
Let us know how you get on so we can help you through any teething issues you might have. The first 2 weeks are usually a bit tricky to adjust, but after that you should find your groove.

Glad to hear you're getting on well with the kit. It's amazing how well an e-cig replaces an analogue isn't it? I think after a couple weeks I didn't even miss them. Let us know if you hit any bumps in the road and we'll try to sort you out. More likely you'll get "shiny syndrome" and want an upgrade sooner though
Oh I went for the pack. It comes with batteries, I have the eGo batteries which also fit on it..

Awesome, can't go wrong with ego batts as they fit pretty much anything and look decent.
It's most likely silica. I saw a pretty cool guide on UKV on using ASDA cotton pads to rewick visions and novas. Have a quick search and you should find it. Just don't dry burn a cotton wick or it'll go up in flames lol.
I have to say I haven't really gotten on with mine. I'm going to try re-wicking it and putting a low res coil in, but I just can't get a decent throat hit out of it atm, and my mainly VG liquid (80/20) doesn't always wick very well despite all the tipping and rotating I do.
Yep, e-pipes (and some very nice ones at that) do exist, and you can get nicotine-free liquids to use with them. Getting a really nice flavour will be the challenge you face. My favourite flavours (the most realistic tobacco ones) are made by steeping cigar leaves which naturally have nicotine in them. So you may be limited to the artificial juices (many of which are excellent) if you're dead-set against nicotine.
Here's a thread on UK Vapers on pipe mods that might give you an idea on what sort of quality you can get.

The pipe bowl is generally a battery and switch, with the stem being your actual atomiser and mouthpiece.

Well done mate, take it slow and you'll appreciate the new gear more!
@edgedemon, I know what you mean. I stopped using my vivi nova and went back to my trusty mega DC cartos. The nova had better flavour and vapour, but it gave me a bit of a head-spinner when I vaped it (not sure if it vaporises nicotine better than a carto?), and it didn't wick my mainly VG juices well anyway. Sometimes cheap is not always bad.
Hey Devrij...
i left and lost all my kit last weekend, someone at costa coffee had it
what would you get now if you were starting again? all i have is what i have at home
a charger
and shed loads of juice...
bah!
I have pretty simple tastes compared to some of the guys on here. I run mega dual coil cartomisers (about 3 quid each from ecigwizard) which are very low maintenance and always work. Stick an ego twist battery (or just a standard 1100mah ego battery on) so you can still use your charger (was it a 510/ego connector?). Since going variable voltage it's been hard to consider going back to a standard battery though, and I love my lavatube v2.1, even if it is a cheapo model.
