Hi, I am in the UK and picked up an e-lite single e-cig a USB charger and 2 tips. Now looking aroubd their website I am interested in the PCC they offer, but I am also interested on other flavours other than red. I ordered some virginia e-liquid as I smoke golden virginia hand rolling tobacco.

So the info I need is, is it best to refill the cartridges for the e-lites or should I get something that is designed to be refilled. Which brings me on to my next question. If so which one?

I like the amount of vapour from the e-lites but im sure there are better tastes out there. I would also like a case, somwthing like he e-lite PCC or a battery that will last all day.

Thanks for your help and sorry for the long post.

Hello and welcome! I'm not familiar with the e-lite, but a PCC is a good choice to keep your battery charged while you are out and about. You should be able to refill the cartridges ( which I am thinking are most likely cartomizers if it is a 2 piece e-cig ) yourself, which will save money. I don't know what kind of threads an e-lite uses, so I can't recommend anything new to put on your battery. There are cartomizers ( filler wrapped around a heating coil ), atomizers ( heating coil to be dripped on or used with a cartridge ), and clearomizers ( empty tank with wicks that lead to a heating coil ). 510 is the most common threading, but some cig-style batteries out there will use other thread types.

I would also recommend grabbing another battery. What are you going to use while it's charging or if it breaks?

edit: quick google showed me that the e-lite most likely uses 808 threading. The cartridges it uses are cartomizers. Definitely refill them and use them for 1-2 weeks to get the most for your money. If you decide on another kit in the future, there are a lot of options out there to save you money. That type of kit and the packs of refill cartridges are pretty pricey.

Yes they cartridges are pretty pricey, thats why I was wondering whether there is anything similar that has a PCC designed for it or compatible but is designed to be refilled.

And your right the e-lites have patented the thread so no-one can sell the same (but only in the UK though).

I've got a budget of £50 but it would need to have a PCC and at least 2 batteries.

With e-lites I can get the case, battery and 6 tips for £39.99. But I can go a little higher for a new set-up if it will save me more money over time.

Sorry for the constant posting, but I saw the Liberro Realis. Any thoughts on the ones I have mentioned?

The Liberro is the cheaper option, and with a 20% discount can get it for £28 delivered, comes with 2 batteries (90 mAh), 6 refillable tips, PCC (1,200 mAh) and 30mls of e-liquid.

Is that too cheap, and more than likely rubbish?

I will probably get this one, unless anyone advises me otherwise :D. Don't want to dish out money I don't have to, this is supposed to be saving me money :facepalm:

Thanks for all your help guys. I have found a local supplier that has Joye ego CE4 2x 1100 starter kit. With case. The bigger battery will last all day so no need to have a PCC but it is a manual. The guy also said he doesn't stock autos anymore and I will struggle to find any decent ones as they are always going off when they rub against you.

Is that right or just fobbing me off with an excuse to buy off him?

Welcome to the forum, I'm a newbie of sorts myself.
I started with the egoT which worked pretty go.
now I'm going to try the Kanger 4t.
Word of warning the site has dozen of opinions which can easily
lead to confusion. I found it best to trust the vets, and to remember there can easily
many solution to successful e-cigs
