It looks like the kit included a clearomizer as well as cartomizers. For the clearomizer, unscrew the mouthpiece and slowly drip from the juice bottle until it's full. Do not drip into the center tube. Charge the batteries and then screw the clearomizer onto the battery and vape away. Cartos are a little more complex to fill, search here for "condom method" as there are videos. In fact, there are videos of nearly all this stuff if you do a bit of searching.

Looks to be a complete kit as well...

Hi Satch.

First of all put one of the batteries on charge. Then take the other one, click it 3 times to activate it. then unwrap one of your cartomisers. To fill your cartomiser for the first time, have a look at this video -

Filling 510 electronic cigarette cartomizers using the "condom" or "push" method - YouTube

Once you have filled it, screw it onto your battery, & then fit the cone over it. Replace the white bung in the end of the cartomiser with the drip tip. Press the button on the battery as you take a drag on it & vape away :D

The drip tip is the mouthpiece. It's called a drip tip because some setups have it where the cartomizer doesn't have a tank to hold juice and is connected directly to a battery. You would then drip some juice down the mouthpiece onto the cartomizer (just a few drops at a time as they don't hold a lot of juice). Then you would vape it and when it started to get dry just drip some more juice down your tip. Your kit doesn't require this because you have a tank that holds the juice and keeps the cartomizer wet for vaping.

I just dont know where the liquid is, there nothing to drip into the clearomizer that i can see. I have these little black bits that look like the end of a cig. I managed to attach that bit to the battery and vape but no vapour came out, just a weird taste. Ive tried tipping them up to let somthing come out but nothing does?

Satch, did you order some e-liquid? As that kit doesn't come with any.

Oh dear, no I didnt I guess. What are the black tips for then? I thought they had e liquid in them?

These are the cartomizers... They contain the heating coil that burns the eliquid/ejuice (two names for the same thing) and turns it into a vapor. They don't come prefilled usually. All you need is some juice to put in the tank and you are good to go. If you have a friend that vapes perhaps they could spare some juice until you are able to aquire your own.

Flavor is subjective so it's really hard to recommend something in particular. If you are just switching from regular cigarettes to vaping I would suggest finding something that is similar to what your currently smoke, and a few other flavors that intrigue you. Remember that you can often get e-liquid/e-juice is varying strengths of nicotene, if you smoke a pack a day you probably want something in either a 24 or 36 strength. If you typically smoke lights you might want to try a 12-18 strength. Experimentation is part of the fun with vaping, but it's good to establish a few standbys that you like.

Also on that site the standard size bottle is 10mL, this is a decent amount but depending on how much you vape you might want to consider getting 30mL size bottles. Your average tank will hold around 2mL and should last you anywhere from half a day to a full day depending on how much you vape. So use this as a rough guide when placing your order. You might want to order a few different 10mL bottles instead of 1 30mL that you may not even particularly like. After all variety is the spice of life!

Now screw the black mouthpiece in finger tight. Roll the clearo on its side so the short wicks are completely saturated with juice. Vape.

Edit: If it's not firing...
"The batteries also have a 3 click on/off function allowing you to turn them off whilst carrying in a pocket or bag Just press the button 3 times in quick succession and the battery will flash 3 times and deactivate. Another 3 clicks will turn the battery back on."

Right, so once ive filled the transparent tube, do i put the black bit on the end? It currently has a black bit on the end but looks different to the others, more of a wide tube, you can probably see it on the website.
