    Are vapers in SA still out there and what do you vape?

    Hi, I'm still vaping, and browse ECF regularly, just don't have much to add. I vape fairly heavy, 5ml a day, so for me I just go with the cheapest option, ego batts and dual coil cartomizers, cheap enough in SA, and I get 100mg unflavoured liquid from China and mix my own liquid with local PG...

    What gives the TH?

    Try and get 36mg liquid for more throat hit, and if you dilute it down use pg as glycerine seems to take away the throat hit. Phone around local pharmacies, menthol crystals are the way to go, I think oil might not be good for your atomizers.

    14500 batteries

    For South Africans it's probably easiest to get them from Dealextreme, just make sure you order the protected ones, and pay the extra cent for drop shipping!

    Got clearomizers to work! Here's how.

    Thanks Glarsky, I also had some clearomizers that I hadn't used as they would start with the burning taste after the first refill, so I tried this and it works great!

    Ego Tank

    I get 18650's from dealextreme, I haven't found anyone in SA selling protected ones, and you don't want to experiment with unprotected Li-Ion's.

    Greenhouse One

    Menthol crystals. I've vaped 20ml's of this now, and that's all I vaped over a week so the nic content seems good, I wasn't getting withdrawals or anything. Just remember if you buy their strongest nic and spill a bottle on your skin it could be lethal. I'm mixed about 3ml nic with 17ml pg and vg.

    Greenhouse One

    Got my order, mixing liquid, they wouldn't ship it EMS, so it went china post and took just under a month. I'm mixing up a batch now to check how it vapes. I had to pay R30 to collect it from the post office, for an order of 120ml liquid and a box of 5 cartomizers.

    which suppliers to use

    I haven't used any USA suppliers yet, if you do then let us know how it goes. I use Chinese suppliers Health Cabin and Heaven Gifts, I've also used Eastmall but their shipping is expensive now. Locally I use Eciggies.

    Ego Tank

    If they are supposed to stop the juice getting into your mouth then they don't work, in fact it pools there and is hard to get rid of once it's got there. With the bits out you just hold it battery side down and the liquid goes back to the atomiser.

    Ego Tank

    My ego-t is still working fine, I've just been using the one atty with 2 tanks, I've put my lr cone aside for a rainy day. I'm very happy with the ego-t, I mix my own menthol so I can make it as strong or weak as I like, it's been nearly 4 weeks now with 1 atty so I'm pretty much sold on these...

    DIY Flavorings from Healthcabin?

    When I recieved my flavourings from HC I could smell the blackcurrent on opening the parcel, I put 5 drops of blackcurrent into 20ml of liquid and it was strong! The litchi was a bit less powerfull, but still I would recommend starting low.

    E-juice/flavourings

    I get PG from my local pharmacy in Ferndale, just ask them to order some, it's about R20 for 100ml, dischem I found very unhelpfull. I also get menthol crystals from my pharmacy, very cheap.

    Ego Tank

    Hi Nomdo, I saw Gerhards' but I thought I may as well try the LR cones at R80. I use an 801-510 on my indulgnce now for the cones, LR and Tank, it's a bit like vaping on a bicycle pump but I'm used to it and now don't have the stress of batteries., I'm still on my 2 18650's that I got a year ago...

    Ego Tank

    After 2 years of 801's with a little bit of 510 on the side I decided to try the ego. The problem is I can't find a reliable local source for 801 atomizers, and the only China supplier who has the 801's I like has a minimum order of $217. So I went along to eciggies in Pretoria and got a couple...

    Health Cabin

    Hi, HC worked for me, but the postage is expensive, I've just bought some tanks and an ego lr cone from eciggies in Pretoria, if you take a drive there you can have a look at the different atties for the ego before buying.
