New vaper from UK here..!

[djsvapour]

This shop does 3 bottles for a tenner which isn't too bad I guess, and they don't sell bigger than 10ml bottles so I can see how the price can add up, I was spending about a tenner a week on rollies, not including papes (never bought filters though), so when I inevitably start vaping heavier, chances are it's going to be costing about the same, so I would probably appreciate a cheaper liquid supplier, what do you use?

So you were on the rollies too.... sounds about the same as me then.

You don't necessarily end up vaping more liquid, but the higher powered equipment often means dropping down a strength (to avoid too much Nicotine in one go) and then vaping a little more because you've dropped a strength. (I know... sounds a bit crazy...)

I use the onepoundeliquid LiQuid online shop.
LT e-cigs.
Myepack or Mr ecig (for Chinese tobacco flavours)
Some homemade

If you're looking for cheaper liquid try these - you can't complain about the price and they get some good reviews.....
LiQuid - Incredibly Awesome UK Made 10ml E-Liquid For £1
Alternatively try these for Hangsen and Dekang liquids - less than £2 a bottle.....

Not sure you want to be charging your Istick with an Ego charger - it's not designed to be charged that way and you could ruin it / blow it up. I might be wrong on this but I really wouldn't risk it.

Thanks for the replies, I'll definitely bear the charger one in mind! Both liquids are a cheaper and better alternative for sure, I'll probably sample both the links and see which I prefer!

That sounds about right with the amount of vaping, as nicotine alone is not so addictive, I can definitely see myself picking up a more powerful rig in the future though, I do love puffing out big clouds of smoke!
And thanks for the references, I plan on trying out as many brands as possible to see which I like best!

Seeing as both of you use the £1 LiQuid, can you comment on the taste/vapour production/longevity/throat hit or anything else you see fit?

Happy vaping!

Thanks for the replies guys, I noticed once I stop charging and it's at 100%, the battery tends to go down extremely fast for the first 30-40%, next time I run it out I will try using my Ego charger which indicates with a green light when the device has finished charging, perhaps I need to continue to charge it even once it is displaying 100%.
Thanks again, peace!

My Eleaf branded does not do that. Once full it's full and does not drop quickly.

I think the charger adapter was meant here. The iStick kits have them too, with a USB cable and an eGo adapter.

Confession - I haven't actually tried the Onepound stuff - just going on what others have said. There's loads of reviews on their site though.
Hangsen does a liquid called Golden Vi which smells exactly like a freshly opened packet of Golden Virginia, if that was your brand. Doesn't quite taste like it though otherwise I'd still be using it to this day.
Dekang Coffee used to be my all day vape at one time, but now I exclusively DIY.

Aside from not being able to recommend the exact flavours (you may not like what I like) the £1 liquids are good. The consistency (PG/VG) and vapour production are one of the best of the budget brands and better than supermarket e-liquid (VIP, Cirro, Vivid) easily. No issues at all. No premature coil gunking, or good/bad wicking issues.

I found the Lemon sherbet too overpowering, but that was in a Lemo at 15 watts. The apple is sweet and pleasant enough, better than most. Got that in a Kayfun around 12 watts. Mint Blast is outstanding. (Protank 2, homemade coil). Didn't rate the plain menthol. Tropical is nice, but too much banana for me. Cherry Menthol not my thing. All the tobacco ones are gentle, good flavours, Virginia is the most similar to Dekang... herby and sweet. American Lites is very mild, but nicer than LT Inawera recipes if you ask me.

Overall, hard to go wrong.. if you don't like it, it's a quid. VIP and Cirro (Tesco and stuff) is £4-£5 and especially low quality.

The other budget Vendor is Joose Juice. I only liked one of them... the rest was not as full-flavoured as LiQuid in my opinion.

Nono, I meant the actual charger, silly me, but my mother does have an adapter which displays the light, so thanks for the idea
I'll also speak to the shop I bought it from about the issue, I read the manual however, and it says about the percentage sign stopping flashing when it is fully charged, which it doesn't do when it hits 100%, so I will charge it past the 100% and see what happens

Thanks again, I think I'll pick up a few next payday, got the mother in on it too so that doubles the amount of flavours I can sample and halves the delivery cost
Virginia was always my favourite tobacco, and I love the taste of all tobacco really, but the tobacco flavoured liquids never really hit the spot in terms of tobacco taste really, however I do really enjoy this 'RY4' stuff that's about, that was lovely!

Happy vaping!
