eGo not available in the UK? And a couple other newbie questions...

[Molgaard]

Alright guys,

I'm looking for a good 510 style efag to replace my crappy e-lites that I started with a couple weeks ago. I was about to place an order for an eGo on Liberty Flights, then I noticed the following smalltext:

Please note: These Kits are only for sale to none UK customers due to distribution rights.

Same goes for the regular 510s. Is this correct? Strange that they would list them with a UK price and a link to put them in your shopping cart if you're not allowed to buy them...

If that's the case, do you think the Riva 510 is a good alternative? They're cheaper, which worries me a bit. Which do you guys think is the best you can buy from a UK supplier, regardless of price?

Also where is the best place to get some RY4?

Cheers!

Edit: Another question concerning eliquid; does going for a higher strength have any affect on the throat hit, or is it just a better nicotine buzz?

Hiya, pretty new to this myself. I bought a titan 510 which I love but have since learned that most of the same style 510 are actually the same, just with different distribution names. They are all joye 510s, just rebranded. So I guess it will be a similar thing here. I don't know if this helps you out though
eGo Full Kits
or if you dont mind waiting a little longer:
Joye Super eGo Kit in 10 colors(Type A & Type B) [Joye eGo K] - $55.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail--
I have just placed an order with them as I have heard good things about them and their flavours are 69p each! I ordered 2 510 attys, 2 batteries, 10 empty bottles, 12 flavours, a giant syringe and including shipping it was £35!

Totally wicked has tornado kits that are re-branded ego's I didn't read your whole post I like the riva's 750mAh better than the ego's. The 750mAh come off the cvharger at 4.2v and have been as reliable as the ego's.

 

[Molgaard]

69p, wow! Are they from China though? I heard the Chinese stuff is dodgy and fake, but I guess they all come from there originally anyway. Post back when you receive all that, it sounds too good to be true!

Hmm odd, my riva 510 is from liberty flights and I'm in the uk... Sent it to me with no problem. The riva is the ego btw.

 

[purplefowler]

Will do. If you check the hc section here they seem to be pretty well rated but the proof is in the vaping

Zombit the riva isn't the eGo but is a similar product - the riva is indeed a little cheaper than the eGo and is almost identical in size and shape but as standard the riva has longer lasting batteries . The Riva also has different internal components (the mosfet for example) making it incompatable with the eGo booster.

although currently not in stock Kev at FreedomVape Online Store - Items - FreedomVape (UK) usually has the eGo in stock . Also (in stock but more expensive) eGo electronic cigarette and in stock around the same price E-Cigarette Starter Kits - eGo-T - eGo-T - mistEliquid -- Leading International Supplier of E-Liquid

There are other vendors out there that stock both the eGo and Riva - Both are reported to be a very good vape and have batteries that will last much longer than a standard 510 (standard range from 180mah to 280mah i believe) .

RY4 taste is subjective as it's very different from different suppliers which makes it hard to remember what it actually tasted like in the first place lol Paula at Home - www.vapourworld.co.uk does an RY4 which i quite like but remember taste is subjective and what i like you may not so testing is the way to go.

As for TH coming from higher strength i certainly get a higher TH from higher nic juice although the majority is supposed to come from the PG so this may just be me.

I hope that helps you out a bit

Ahh ok thanks for that info, I always just assumed the riva was a rebranded eGo and actually perhapes slighty inferior too. It seems that's not quite the case.

An actual eGo brand cig can be got from uk vender ecig wizard here: Ego tank starter kit it's priced really well considering, but is the tank version of the kit.

totally wicked uk are currently doing 35% off their tornado kits which are again rebranded egos as far as I know.

 

[Warlordxxx]

That's not a bad deal for the tank kit (as long as it's genuine eGo) - there are fakes around (not saying it is one as i can't tell the difference just a note of caution)

The tornado is indeed a rebranded eGo

 

[Rusty]

As I understand it, Joye make the eGo and Tornado which is rebranded specifically for TW/TECC. In the UK, TW/TECC and Janty sellers only are allowed to sell genuine Joye products. LF (UK) is therefore not allowed to sell the eGo BUT LF (US) is allowed to sell them - hence the confusion.

I may be wrong though as I am a Yorkshire Pudding

Really? you sounded very Scottish in the few vids Ive seen of you... unless thats not actually you! the tip on the super minis and blocking air holes for a better vapour production.. that is you right?!

 

[Bjorn Toulouse]

Janty stuff is identical to the TW/tecc kit
I remember about two years ago getting a TECC multi pack of titan 510 atties and a few janty ones were in with the pack !!

I found the LF atties although cheeper not quite as nice to vape as the TW/TECC ones.

On another note "are they all from china" just now I belive yes, however, wernt Paul Gasgoine and jason lee both from england???

Zombi, that's a different Rusty. The one you are thinking of used to (& maybe still does?) mainly sell super-minis @ Malls & markets in Scotland. Our Yorkshire pudding Rusty is a very different kettle of fish

Ahh!! Then apologise! I just assumed it was the same chap! Sorry rusty!

 

[Chrissie]

Lol Zombie, I'm sure neither Rusty will mind - not seen Scottish Rusty about for yonks though.

Talking of locations - you are pretty close to me, I'm only about 35 miles away from Plymouth

Ohh! I've been looking for a vaping buddy down my way in ages! Maybe you could be it! Were abouts are you? East of eden, hmm possibly the eden project? But maybe thats me reading into that. Still if you are gonna pop along to the vapefest uk in October let me know, maybe we can get a train or something! I recently discovered that trians to tamworth go direct from Plymouth with no changes! How cool is that? So yeah I might well be going, hook me up if you are! I would take my partner but she's sadly not very interested in vaping, anytime I talk about Ry4 or low resistance cartomizers her eyes sort of glaze over... If I took her to the vapefest in a room full of people talking about these things all day and night I think she'd make me walk home! LOL

I'm too ugly for videos!! However if you ever want a pint or two of ale whilst having a vape in a traditional pub, I'm your man

Came yesterday and am really pleased (although the tracking service still says it's in china). Really pleased with the purple batteries and atties. The flavours seem good for the money, some seem really strong others not so but definitely worth 69p I would definitely use them again although possibly not if I was in a hurry!

 

[Chrissie]

Yep Zombi, just a mile East of the Eden Project

Sadly not going to be able to make it to vapefest
