Loads of names and brands, I need some help

[free_remo]

Hello everyone,
i think i need some help here, i was a smoker for 7 years then i decided i need to change that as my chest was bad and the smell use to cause problems with my wife i thought i will give e-cigarettes a try and i bought starter kit from e-lites i received a battery, usb and 7 regular 2.6 E-Tip, i liked it and one E-Tip used to just last one day, when i used to smoke i used to only smoke between 10 to 15 turner rollies a day but it said 1x E-Tip - the equivalent of approximately 40 'cigarettes which i don’t understand.
Anyway i went 2 days ago and bought Gamucci 1.6 from B&M £3.99 for 3 e-tips, good price but it test sweet which i don’t like and not as strong as e-lites.
I want to try the ones you fill yourself but i am really confused and don’t know where to start loads of brands and sites i need something not so expensive and normal tobacco taste not sweet and for the figure i put above how much you think it will cost me a day or a week.
I will be thankful for any help.
Thanks

Hello & welcome Free-remo

Sadly the e-lites are over priced, under perform & they completely exaggerate how many real cigs a "tip" is equivalent to & Gamucci aren't much better However, you should be able to refill their tips (cartomisers) with any e-liquid

The main thing you need to do is to move away from an e-cig that looks like a real cig. You will do so much better with either a Riva or ego kit. For instance -

The VE Riva 1100 Deluxe Kit £34.95 - Deluxe Vaping Kits - Riva 1100 Kit Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

Also, check out these other good UK e-cig & e-liquid vendors -

Edit to add - I used to smoke on average 50 cigarettes a day, so I'm a very heavy vaper & it costs me approximately £10.00 a week - so a massive saving

I started out with Blu.
You sound like me. You want to refill, but still want to keep things simple. I recommend the Vea from Johnson Creek Smoke.
They're juice is simply fantastic. The Vea is like the Swiss Army knife of Pvs. It's not perfect, but it sure is classy looking. For $60 shipped for a full kit. It's the best deal I can think of.

This is a good starter kit;

eGo-C Twist w/ CE5 Ultimate Starter Kit

 

[ilovehugehits]

That kit that was just recommended is great.
It's all mix & match brand name stuff.
I have the same PVs & clearos bought individually on sale.
It's a bit overpriced, considering it's supposed to be a kit.

The ego twist or vision spinner are a great place to start. I have a few mods now and still use my twist. Unlike the cig sized batteries I started with...I will never use them again.

 

[ilovehugehits]

I work at a bar part time. Use the Blu behind the bar & while driving.
Bought a mini spinner & some nanos. That's now my main PV when out.

You could ask 100 different vapers the same question, and get 100 different setup recommendations.


I would recommend you get an eGo-C Twist battery, and an EVOD BCC (real , REAL simple to use), or if you really like cartos, then just get your standard BOGE blank cartos, and fill em yourself

Thanks everyone for the reply and i am checking the kits now, can you tell me the best place where i can get the eGo-C Twist battery and the BOGE blank cartos? sorry it could be sound silly but really dont know all this names.

Free-remo, I know for a fact your e-lite won't be compatible with anything else, so you will need a charger & at leats one other battery - hence why I recommended you went for the Riva kit to begin with.

We have so many good UK e-cig suppliers, so it would be a bit daft & costly postage & import duty wise, if you bought from any of the US suppliers

You can buy the twist from here -

Joyetech eGo-C Twist VV £22.95 - Vaping Spares - Batteries & Passthroughs Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

Plus the Boge cartomisers -

Boge 510 Standard Resistance (5) £5.99 - Vaping Spares - Cartomisers Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

 

[free_remo]

If i manage to get one of these (Store) is that mean i will only need e-liquid? is that all what i need?

You would need another battery as well as some e-liquid. Plus a few more prepunched cartomisers for the tank.

 

[ilovehugehits]

Also some clearos & a backup charger & case.

If your looking to try juices I really love Berry Lemonade from Rawr Vapor and Peach Menthol from PureSmoker.

I need the taste not to be sweet, i just need basic tobacco flavour that taste abit like cigarette.

 

[claudebo]

I like tobacco flavor also, I'm going to try a mod
the zmax siglei, with a kanger evod.

Seems the only way to find what works is to try a number of them.
Good luck!!

Does any one know how many ml in e-lites Cartridges? i am just trying to work out how long 30ml of E-Liquids will last, BTW anyone tried Gold & Silver 24mg or 18mg? does it taste ok?Thanks

I reckon an e-lite cartomiser holds about between 1 & 1 & a half ml. Most folks average getting through about 5ml a day of e-liquid - hence why there is no way that e-lite "tips" as they call them, are equivalent to 40 real cigs - more like 10 at best.

You are mainly not really going to find an all around great tobaccoish flavor that you are accustomed to, this is just from my experience.

Couple of suggestions, still sweetish, but also quite tobaccoish, "Dekang" or "Hangsen" RY4 is a good starter. Halo, don't know if it is available in the UK, but Freedom Juice, Torque, 555, or Captain Jack are a bit on the more bitter flavor, but still satisfying, but a bit on the high end price wise. RY4 has caramel and vanilla tones, but remember, straight tobacco from RYO and say Marb Reds, Camels, etc, in the curing process get soaked in chocolates, caramels, and vanillas to ferment more nic out of them. You don't really taste this undertone due to the way an analog burns. You'll be surprised as to why everyone tries to replicate a version of the original Dekang RY4 and it was so successful, never tried the original myself, but it sounded like the silver bullet for tobacco flavors ever made and offered, and a lot of OTC generic brands that offer pre-filled cartos use a variant of RY4 in their basic tobacco cartos. Someone has a review list of RY4s, can't find it atm, but the list does show from bitterist to sweetest.

I would say go with a ego c twist or vision spinner and get yourself a Iclear 30 which performs well for a wick system. Good luck fellow Vaper!!!
