I did post on the UK one last night but I did not really get a good response. As you say I really do not want to buy something else that I am not going to be happy with. I do like the idea of the clearomiser so I can actually see what is in there I soon realised that when I started using the prefilled carts.

Here's one site that seems to carry a lot of things we've been recommending. Liberty Flights is a good vendor but they are always out of stock lately.

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

A CE4 clearomizer and an eGo battery will most certainly give you better performance than the slim cigalike kits with prefilled cartos.

Even better would be to upgrade a step on the eGo battery and go with a variable voltage model, like an eGo Twist....with that you can dial up the voltage a bit to get more power to your CE4 coil......and you can upgrade a step from the CE4 to something like a Kanger T3.

A setup was suggested earlier in the thread that will do you well...I'll suggest something similar:

Discount Vapers:

(2) eGo Twist 900 mAh Batteries - $21.99 ea
(2) Kanger T3 Clearomizers - $5.49 ea
(1) Charger 420 mAh - $5.99
(1) 5 Pack T3 Heads - $9.99 Keep an eye out for them to come in

Then go find you some good juice.....taste is so subjective and we're always on a quest for that perfect juice.

So, just a suggestion to get you started.....there are so many ways to go....many folks will setup all sorts of kits for you....and you can put together your own kit.....hardly any agreement to be had except for one: don't bother with the cigalikes.

I just done the condom method and it does taste a lot better. How about this kit CE4 EGO PT V2 KIT

It would be a night and day difference for the better to what you currently have, there is no doubt about that! However, if you can swing slightly more I would HIGHLY recommend the following from Liberty Flights:

1 or 2 EVOD (£6.49 each)

1 or 2 (recommend 2 so you can use one while the other charges...) eGo Spinner Batteries (£21.99 - £23.99 depending on battery life you choose)

Some RAWR vapor or Pink Spot juices.

and a eGo & Riva 510 Chargers (£4.99) to charge your batteries.

Total: ~£33 - £60 depending on the options you go for.

I know it is a fair bit more of an investment than the £24.99 kit that you asked about, but it will be the best bang for you buck you can get without dropping upwards of £150.00 on an advanced setup.

Plus it will likely pay for itself in the the money you are not spending on smokes for a few weeks.

That is my opinion, and I feel strongly that you wil be happy with it, and will get a long time of use from it!

When I first used a pre filled cart it was just the same so I put a few drops in not much. It was still the same. I have just used the condom method and really soaked it got a initial good hit of it. have just tried it again and got 2 good tokes of it. Maybe it is just the high nicotine strength that is the bad taste. Anyway I have ordered some empty carts and some cherry and menthol. I can not get my head around filling these cartos when they are supposed to be full.

Once a carto is burnt you can't get the burn flavor out of it.

This. Bigtime this. ^^^

Before you go buying a new kit, wait till those blank cartos and juice come in the mail for you to play with. Keep the filler wet with juice in the new cartos to make sure they don't burn too. You are on the right path with the condom filling method. Soak those things good and let them sit a bit and then soak them some more, let them sit and then blow out the excess from the mouthpiece and out the connector into a paper towel. You should be good to go for a quite a few puffs, just pop the mouthpiece off every once in awhile and make sure it's still looking moist in there.

Your batteries are small, but it's not a bad place to start. Get the hang of what you have while you're reading all the info on this site, and then if you feel you want/need to try something else, you'll have a wealth of info already to help you out.

Knowing how to fill cartos will help you with of other delivery devises out there (like carto-tanks) and understanding how they work.

My pleasure. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me, or ask here, and I will do my best.

This is good advice, but if you do decide to go with something like the parts I described, you can also pick up the "510 to 901/808D-1 adapter" from Liberty Flights here -> E-Cig Multi Adapters for £2.99 which will allow you to use all of the cartridges that you have already purchased for your existing V1P kit on the better battery with no issues.

Have we established that his connection is indeed kr808D-1? If it isn't, that adapter won't work.

Au contraire! Snap-pop-crackle sound means your carto is working properly! :D

Just keep it wet--top off early and top off often. And remember that they are disposable!

But how do you know it's not kr808D-2? They look similar.

From that vendor's FAQ page:

Q: Adapter - I can't get a "draw" on it. The battery activates OK, but no vapour is produced. Is there something I need to adjust on the adaptor to get it going? Feels like there's no airflow.
A: The central connection of the adapter needs adjusted. Different 510 batteries have different heights of connectors. If you look at the adapter (the KR808D-1 end) you will see the central post with a slot in it. Use a knife and turn the central post while pressing with the knife, you see the 510 bit of the adapter extend out, to push it back down, it normally needs a couple of mm protrusion to make a good connection.

Hopefully I may be getting somewhere now. I was just sitting having a few puffs and actually enjoying it. I though as the cartos where prefilled I would not have to do anything with them for a while.
