New to e cigs

[Carlofpembroke]

Hi all, new to the forum and looking forward to reading your comments and adding a few of my own. Stopped smoking about 6 weeks ago and have been on nicolite medium rechargeable ever since. They have been good but am realising there limitations and have been considering the refillable cigs, all advice very welcome. Well let me be more specific, I am looking for something that will last me from morning until evening that is refillable,won't run out of batteries and tastes close to tobacco (subjective I know) And also can the nicolites be refilled ? Have trawled the the web but not much info on this particular brand that I can see.

Hello & welcome Carlo

Nicolites are over priced but you can refill the cartridges/cartomisers. However, you really would do so much better if you go for a larger e-cig like the Riva or ego. For starters, the battery life is so much better. Have a look at this list of good UK e-cig/e-liquid vendors -

Thanks for the reply Chrissie and the links. Some of them look good. Like I said anything I can refill and lasts all day but I can slip in the top pocket of my overalls. Local market sells refillable ecig type stuff but don't want to buy a cheap knockoff that won't last 5 minutes. Any vids about on how to fill the nicolites as it seems a sealed unit ? I am quite technically minded so shouldn't be a problem if its possible

For something that lasts all day & will still fit in a pocket, you can't go wrong with this Riva kit (use discount code ECF10 for 10% off) -

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

I'm fairly certain that Nicolites have a 510 thread so the cartomisers that come with the above kit should also fit your Nicolite.

Do the nicolite cartomisers have a white bung on the end? If so this is how you can fill/refill them -

As for me.. I originally ordered a tiny e-cigarette.. those that actually look like a cigarette. You just have to change the filet part and you get your vapes..

However, chancing upon a store that sold the EGO T.. I said, Why not? and bought it.. so happy with the tank system.. 1.6ml of juice, enough batt to last a day or more.. now I'm looking to buy a couple more clearomiser tanks so I can interchange flavours.

minimum is an ego, and I would only use that in public. At home give me a powerful lavatube or gripper model. Huge power, huge vapour.

Right just got the Ego locally, and a small bottle of tobacco juice (see I'm gritting the lingo). Small battery as the extra large ones were a tenner extra and made it a little big for the top pocket. Now to see how long a recharge and refill will last me. He'll of a lot better than the nicolites , for me anyway. Thanks for the advice all. Will keep you posted as I think I've got the vape bug.

Glad to hear you have got yourself an ego battery, Carl

Hmmmmm, Yea so far so good. The tobacco flavour is a little strong and coffee,ish. But just need to find different samples to try and tanks, if that's the correct term

 

[Chrissie]

Quite a few of the suppliers in the link I Posted sell sample bottles of juice. For instance, Vape Escape & Paradise Vapes.

Are you still using your Nicolite cartomisers with your ego or did you buy something else to use with it?

Didn't know you could use the nicolites with the EGO. Got the whole kit with case and juice for £25.00. Is that a good price ?

 

[Carlofpembroke]

Just need flavour suggestions now, as close to my old roll ups as poss, not brave enough to try fruit flavours just in case I don't like them and money wasted. See us Welsh are tight too

If it came with 2 batteries, then that is a good price Where did you you get it from & what mAh are the batteries?

It's not really possible to get juices that taste the same as a burning cigarette, however some of my favourite tobacco juices are from Paradise Vape & Vape Escape's Black Cat. I've just bought one of the TripHammer juices from Vape Escape, but I've not tired it yet as I'm going to let it steep till my birthday next week

 

[Carlofpembroke]

Afraid only one battery, small one too.

 

[Chrissie]

In that case it wasn't a bargain

You could have got this kit fort about the same price with using discount code 'AAEC' for 12.5% OFF -

Exhale Ego CE5 Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit.

Or a Riva 1100 mAh kit for not much more using discount code ECF10 for 10% off that comes with 2 1100 mAh batteries, 5 cartomisers & a vision ego cartomiser etc -

Ah well,live and learn. The advantage I had is it was local. Never mind

 

[Carlofpembroke]

How do I tell the difference between ce4 and ce5 ?
