Nath182 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I was going to buy one of these but decided to just go cold turkey in the end. 9 days today without a smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blunther Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 16 days off the fags for me since I got my little beauty. Been on the piss quite a few times, and never even tempted to have a fag. Amazing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Using them for almost 3 weeks now and don't even miss fags. I reckon it will cost me around £20 a month which is a huge saving on £200+ a month I was spending on smokes. Definitely recommend this to anyone who likes smoking but is pissed off with the cost of their habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 What would you say the average cost is per day/week on your kit mate? I'm using the disposable e-lites and although I have no complaints about it the cost is slightly worrying. One disposable tip is supposed to be 40 fags but without particularly heavy use one tip is lasting me about 3-4 days even though I was only a 5-6 day smoker, so it's still costing me similar to what the real thing cost, might change over to a refillable one.

RunRickyRun Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah the disposables are very expensive as the batteries are very poor. My one only lasted me 1 day. I use this site to order from because they have a 20% discount using ECR69 and have free delivery on orders over £30. The Echo kit is really good because a single charge and the liquid stored in the cartomiser will easily last more than 1 day of heavy vaping. 1 bottle of liquid (£7) has done me almost 3 weeks of vaping and the cartomiser I'm using is lasting pretty well. I reckon I'll spend around £10 a month on e-liquids, £6 a month on a fresh cartomiser and I reckon the batteries (£10) will probably have to be replaced every other month working out at around £20 a month.

wiggyrichard Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 What do i need then Ricky to get started using that site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I started with this kit and an extra bottle of e-liquid. This should be enough for almost a month's worth of heavy vaping. The battery seems to be going ok and have kept the second one as a spare. I've recently ordered some more e-liquids and another cartomiser as I'm not sure how long they will last (but the one I'm using seems to be going on strong).

PieFacE Posted September 4, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2012 Right, I just bought my first disposable one just to see how I get on with it. This may seem like a stupid question but.... how do you smoke it? In terms of, Do you just smoke it like it's a fag and have 10-20 drags then put it down til later? Or is 1 drag the equivalent level of nicotine to 1 cigarette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Oh and I found the pre filled cartomisers had a very very strong taste to begin with but after using it for a day, it really mellowed out and now feels normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ricky, im going to go with the cheapo starter kit for £19.99. Quick question, what are the e-liquids like that come with it? Also, whats and cartomiser? Also, when the cartridges run out (the ones that come with it), is it best to get pre-filled ones or the refillable ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Also, if i smoke B&H Gold, what stregnth cartridges do i need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'd go for 18mg (High). You may want to go with extra high (26mg) to begin with though. A cartomiser is a cartridge (where the liquid is stored) and atomiser (which 'vapes' the liquid) in one unit (rather than 2 separate units) I always refill myself with e-liquids as I think it works out cheaper. The review videos on the website should show you how to refill the cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Just put my brain into gear, you cant use the cartomizer's with the 510 range, only with the echo. So if i go with the starter kit (510 Deluxe), i need to buy the pre-filled cartridges or the refillable ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could start with the pre-filled ones then move onto the refillable ones when you get more used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
