I'm not totally new here, a couple of years ago i bought two sets of joye 510, one set was a little bit different with a slightly different card size. One set burned out pretty fast and they were ok. So i just happened to run into this kiosk and this guy was showing me the different types now. This one i just bought says synergy clearomizer on the box yet it doesn't have the clear atomizer like i was shown. It was only one set 1 battery 1 atomizer 1 tip 1 cap with a clip. plus a usb charger. The box has two empty spots for an extra set and it was 60 bucks plus 1 bottle of liquid.

I was looking all over the net for f1 CE3 and could only find chinese sites that sold in bulk of 100.

My question is did i pay too much and get swapped the wrong model when the cart isn't clear and are those better? Also i searched this site for that model number and only found one thread. The unit has no serial numbers on it anywhere so i don't even know what ma the battery is.

Any suggestions like taking it back if burned and a place to get the set on the net for cheaper?

Also i was shown on the demo that the blue led can be switched on and off with three blinks and this one doesn't. Should I post the url of the vendor or is that allowed?

You can post links. I think what you're looking for is called an eGo-W. I don't know for sure, but they could come with different colored tanks. I recently saw a set online with 2 of the tanks with covers, and 2 batteries, charger, etc for $60, so I'd think about taking it back if you could. If you Google "ego w", you will have better results in your search. I dont remember the site I saw it on, but they are definitely out there on the net.

If you have working batteries and a charger, you can buy clearomizers separately for cheap.

The Ego-W takes a particular Clearomizer Tank, similar to a Stardust, that fits under a solid cover with viewing slots. The mouthpiece actually fits on the cover, not the tank, and theres a cap for the mouthpiece that attaches to the tank cover, so the whole thing is integrated into one piece. It's a pretty slick arrangement actually. Replacement tanks are sold separately as well and priced in line with the Stardust tanks. You can use other 510 cartos/clearos. If the stock tanks work well, it's the best eGo system I've ever come across and the only one I'd recommend. It's a 3.7V unit and has batteries from 650-1000mah. I predict it will replace the cranky, leaky eGo-T before long.

Here you go. This is what you're looking for. This battery is 650mah, but they make bigger ones. Two of everything is included for $50 from a good vendor.
eGo-W Electronic Cigarette Kit

Yes that is the same one just the serial number is different. This is the website Ecigarettes - Items - Electronic cigarettes. Island Vapor in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii. We sell Quality E-cigarettes,accessories,and Eliquid in Hawaii and ship them to You! I'm pretty sure it's the synergy that sells for 104 with two atomizers and two batterys. Stil wondering if thats cool taking it back sine it's a local store and getting it online cheaper. Works great so far just having one atomizer is a pain though because you have to wait until it's empty before filling with a different flavor.

Also if i buy other clearomizers on the net are they all the same size or is that just a general name for the clear tank?

Oh i made a mistake and didn't know it was clear until i pulled it apart watching that video.

You can buy extra clearomizers on the net. If you want to be able to use that cover, you have to get one made specifically for the F1. You can use other clearomizers made for an eGo or ones made for a 510 battery connection, but you won't be able to put that cover or tip cover on it.

For example you can use a "Stardust", aka CE4, clearomizer. If you look at one, you'll see it's made for an ego and it looks nice and works great. But that cover won't fit on it and since the mouthpiece cover attaches to the tank cover, you won't be able to use that either.

Whether you can return it is up to the store's policy. Some have a "satisfaction gurantee" for a few days and some only let you return defects or they only give exchanges and no refunds. It's up to the store. You may be stuck.

The worst thing is that you only have one battery. What are you going to do while it's charging? You should never have just one battery.
