Hello all,
Have been a member and occasional reader of posts for ages ( years)

I had a couple of e-cigs in the past that died on me so they went in the cupboard and have been abandoned.
I have been talking about replacing them for ages as I am smoking more and more cigs every day. The staff in my local shop even said they were worried how many packs I am buying !! :oops:


I did like using them , found it a bit fiddly but that was part of the distraction from the real fags . And the ry4 ? juice was totally yummy too .And I went down from 10 packs of cigs a week to about 2 or 3 which was wonderful

So now am in the market to try again,
I have been looking at websites and they all have branded things with different names . Also since I decided to try again I want things delivered like now! before I change my mind as I have done before
I got so bored of the shopping around and comparing and reading reviews etc I lost the motivation. So I am looking for a UK supplier who posts out quickly.

I got my previous 2 on Ebay , when they were being sold off cheap before the ban
One was sold as a 901 , and came in those boxes called mini cigarette with no branding or model numbers on it with the little cartoon fellow with the smoke rings Like this one

The other was sold as a 902 and has J118 written on the actual PV. This one I really liked a lot . Easy to use , nice to hold , good easy but not too easy drag.

Both the atomisers went kaput after a few weeks , fair enough
But I got the old things out and was amazed that the batteries were still charged a little. Still light up and the ends.
I have two batteries and a charger for each and a USB charger for the "901" and some liquid and cartidges for each so I would really like to get the same again so can make use of the kit I have .


I would love to get new atties for the J118 in particular but can't find them anywhere , but they all seemed to be sold under different names.

Could anyone tell me where to get these in the UK right now before I get up to 15 packs of cigs a week ???

I really want to help you Boot Mistress, but I'm not sure of what the J118 is!!

There are many good UK vendors and I'm sure that they will be able to oblige.

First ports of call are (in no particular order);

iVapour, Liberty-Flights, Totally Wicked, Vape88, Ecigsoutlet, Juicycigs, TECC, Ecigs.co.uk and OKSmokey.

Have a look at what they have to offer! :)

Thank-you so much for all your help.
I will snoop around those ones you have mentioned.


The J118 was great but seems that it must have been rare and possibly now extinct species.I will try something new , seems a waste of batteries chargers etc but maybe there will be a new improved version that will fit them so I shan't throw them away yet.

The other was fine so I think I will stick with that and maybe not spend toooo much until I think I will be more of an e-cigger and less of a fairweather user,.
Talking of fairweather I am being whisked off on holiday as a surprise on Thursday . Do you know if these companies tend to deliver quickly as I could do with it for the long flight.

Thanks again ,
Once I am "legit" I'll try and post in the UK section.

I have a confession to make not being much of a forum poster that I couldn't find this thread for a while as this forum moves very quickly. Thought it was lost .WOrked out how in the end, was quite easy.

Hey Boot Mistress, I like your name. ;)

I agree with the others it may be time to update your kit. The 510 is well-loved here. And really you can't go wrong with any Janty or Joye products from what I hear.

I recently got a kr808D-1 (also well-loved here, and thanks ECF for steering me in the right direction!). It came in today, and I was instantly impressed with the throat hit off it. Haven't really wanted a cigarette since it came!

I'm not sure where you'd buy the kr8 in the UK, but they also go under several names - Nebula, VaporKing, etc. Check 'em out!

Boot Mistress all the vendors I've given links to usually ship next day :)


Wonderful , that is good to know .I am shopping right now,


And I have looked at so many today trying to pick where to buy from I am ruling some companies out on what others may think are strange reasons.


Number 1-- --Light writing on a black background.!! Bad business , bad marketing as proven by psychologists to be the hardest to read for more than a minute or two.
I like black it is great for a ... ahem ... "certain " type of website where the pictures are more important that the writing !!!!! and it is nice to be uber-cool but that will have 60% of people pressing the back button .
So narrowed down a couple like that.... sorry if its your site but if I did it you can guarantee a lot of other customers have done it.

Number 2--- Hiding terms and shipping costs and information in some obscure place. I hate that. Sorry again if that is your website but there is a lot of shopping around to do and comparing quality and value and such is quite enough without having to dig through the small print.


So I have narrowed them down by half and my credit card is out at the ready.


Quite excited

:vapor:< me on the plane

Research research research!

Although, as far as e-cigs go, since it is a fairly new business with lots of mom-and-pop stores, some of the website may not look as professional as they for companies selling, say, laptops. I would say that none of the websites I got my stuff from would win "Web Design of the Year," But they were all a pleasure to work with.

Just be careful. Another thing about a new and most unregulated industry like e-cigs, is that are lots of scams out there. Suppliers posting "user reviews," fake testimonials, subscription scams, etc. And some of them are really convincing.

Check in with the gurus here about the company(ies) you pick, or read reviews about them here, just to make sure.
