freedomvape - UK

[Maky]

Hi all new member here.

I have been off analogues for 8 days now after discovering electronic cigs being sold in my off license 2 week ago.
I have been amazed. I have no intention of quitting my addiction I just want to vape now. I don't crave analogues at all when vaping so i guess I'm lucky.

Anyway, the problem is the price of them. I was hoping for big savings but the carto refills cost more to vape than I spend on roll ups.
I looked on the net and was happy to discover I could refill my e-lite carto's with e-juice.

I did a google of which is the best and cheapest e juice supplier and i was pointed to a thread on this forum naming a few.
I had a quick look on Freedomvape.co.uk which people were writing good things about and I beliieve the website owner even made an appearance in the thread i was reading. his name was Kev?

I bought 4 bottles of juice yesterday for £20. free delivery. The website dosn't say what courier service it uses and after sending 4 emails to the sales email address i've had no response. Has anyone here had experience with this site?
I have now noticed the site is not on this forums recommended sellers list.

I was wondering if anyone has used the site, what the delivery timing is like. I'm currently forced to pay £4 a refill due to lack of supplier in area and I am needing my order.

I placed the order around 2 p.m yesterday and was hoping for delivery today. knowing my luck I wont get a saterday delivery.
I wanted to pay extra for a Saturday delivery if it was needed but my emails are being ignored.

So, any feed back from you fine people would be appreciated.

Welcome to Ecf , and no , those carts are not your best option , Not knowing your connection type , IE , 510 , 901 , 808 ??? Maybe look for some clearomizers , or similar that will fit your device . Or even just an Atomizer , and a drip tip . But get several , so you have some spares . The clearo's hold more juice , so your not always refilling them . Most kits , come with the carts , but most people , ditch them asap , and move on to other , cheaper options . Good Luck .

First of all, welcome to ECF, Maky, and congrats to you on your decision to quit smoking cigarettes.

Sorry, I am not familiar with this particular vendor. Perhaps, they are quite busy and have not had an opportunity to respond to your e-mail queries. Since you place your order yesterday, I would give it a bit more time.

I trust that you receive your answers and your liquid in a timely manner . . . Enjoy.

Andy

I get panicky when buying online. I have been hit with fraud before and its a bad experiance.
websites that sell things and dont respond to 4 emails unnerve me.

Anyone else had experiance with this vendor?

Renzuli, your response is not understood. its out of context to my questions. Why are my carts bad? I am refilling cartomizers, I dont have carts.

Maky, Freedomvape is a very good supplier & I'm surprised he hasn't got back to you. However, as he is located in Spain, that will be the reason you have not already received the order you placed with them yesterday

For UK vendors, have a look at this list -

ow no i am in for a wait then i think.
I have just found the thread i read before and everyone was saying good things about his service.

I specificaly looked for a uk supplier and came to him. after emailing him, on a .co.uk address i recieved an automated email stating a change of address to eu because of his e commerce hosting service.

Damn, im getting ripped off for £8 for 2 e-lite cartomizers refill at the shop i use its sooo bad. supposedly 80 ciggarettes but its bull they don't hardly last a day.

Maky. Freedom vape is a well-known vendor on other forums. Although I can't speak for a vendor I have nothing to do with, I do know that the website has been "moved" and/or redone.

In regard to refilling your E-Lites cartos (e-tips) with liquid, you'll soon have problems with this. I tried to do this and eventually gave up.
Unfortunately, the "fitting" on an E-Lite is a non-compatible size, this is either a deliberate way to stop people buying non-e-lite refills or just one of those things.... E-Lites are now way behind the (independent) competition in serving their customers with compatible gear; but why should they care. This year they will make an estimated £20-30 million turnover selling cartomisers at £3.99 when even skycig and others only charge £2 or so.

However, anybody with any sense will soon realise the real cost of using look-a-like e-cigs and start asking questions about these products.

You can hope to get over the pressing issue of running out of refills by buying juice, but long-term you are going to struggle. I know this because I took exactly the same route as you and so have 1,000s of other "vapers" in the UK. I stubbornly tried to make E-Lites work for me, but eventually I realised my stubbornness was a) costing me FAR too much money and b) I was NOT being saved from smoking tobacco as I couldn't quit 100% using these sorts of product.

I now use an ego/riva type of e-cig and spend less than 50p a day vaping as much nicotine as I need, not as little as an expensive cartomiser supplies....

Sorry to be so blunt.

Please ask about anything..... or find me elsewhere on the UKV or AAEC.

Yes, well I was using two a day - that's £2,900 a year. When I wrote this on a review site, E-Lites went ballistic and the company that ran the review site threatened me. That's the real story.

I know the e-lite product is a total rip off for cartomizers refill and i don't intend to keep using it. I have bought the e-juice for refilling in the short term and i intend to get a much nicer model 2 weeks on monday.
Untill then I have found a tool that remooves the carto caps with no damage easily and have bought a sryinge for squirting in the juice.

I do in fact have a second cheap vapour device. its a 3 piece No Smoke-KING device but the refills have constantly been full of blanks.

E-lites are a complete rip off merchant. I dont know how anyone who buys there product would buy again after they false advertise that a cartomizer refill is equivelent to 40 ciggarrettes and then lasts 6 hours at best with moderate use. Thats if you dont get a blank of course.

The no smoke king device has worse cartos and they taste like burnt plastic everytime you snap on a new atty.

What you need to bear in mind is that i never even knew vapour devices existed for tabbacco. I have vapourized weed once or twice but 8 days ago when my mother gave me a try on a disposable eigarrette (which is my absolute favourite so far) I got insanely excited and bought the only 2 i could get my hands on. I havnt even cared about real fags since im so lucky it works sooo well for me. I just need to get a new device in a couple of weeks.

by the way the disposable oneswhich i love are about cigar sized and claim to be 40 fags too. they taste amazing and give a good amount of vapour. way more than the reusable ones. What I have found though is the company only half charge the battery in it so the battery dies and if you ripp all exterier off the device you can see theres still loads of juice left ripped off again.
and the disposable work out more expensive than smoking real fags. such a shame.

I'm financially in a pickle at the moment as I have just donated a kidney to my uncle and cant get out to work. I will never smoke again I just know it
I just need to get set up correctly first.

 

[djsvapour]

Good luck to you Maky. The best thing you can do is buy an ego battery and a clearomiser or two.
Sorry to hear about the no work thing, what you've done for your uncle is amazing....good for you.

 

[Maky]

Thanks for the kind words regarding my uncle. I know it was a good thing to do it's the only thing I'm proud of myself for in my life.
I havent looked into what a clearomizer is yet i will have a look now thanks for advice

Ow and by the way, I don't actually want to quit my nicotine addiction. I want to vape forever. I am not using this device to quit.(just in response to the earlier mention someone said i might be trying to quit)
