Now Kit will probably shoot me for saying this but this is what is happening with mine out of the sedansa cigar , the bling, pillbox,.


The pillbox cigar is outperforming the other two the vapour bellows out and a lively performer and I have not had any problems at all.


the bling looks the coolest but this one is acting like very weak on vapour against pillbox and I am talking other liquid and cartridges by the way not
ruyan because we know these don't produce that much vapour anyway. But acts less lively and less kick than pillbox or whether this is faulty or not or this is how it is supposed to be?.

And the sedansa well that's a lost cause as this works when it feels like it and cannot remember how this one acts as I keep fiddling about with it to try and get it to work but it seems dead so this one will probably be back in the post very soon.

oooohhhh. Just about ready for a cigar so a testimonial is JUST what I need. What do I need liquid/charger/spares wise?

Hi Ned BTW!

Hi Emp were have you been my friend and hope you are well.
I just started off with the pillbox one but I must say the sedansa cigar Turkish and Havana Cubana are very pleasant but I find the normal cigar liquid from our suppliers in the UK a little bit strong but with more of a sting to the throat which will make you choke a bit.
But to be honest I would just bang in whatever favourite you like old chap that's what I do these days and I have been topping the disposables the same to my liking but I suppose it's nice to have a couple of extra batteries as well as you get 2 any way but the pillbox one I have was only £19 99 which I think has been excellent value for what I have had from it so I hope that helps.

Been down behind some bad stuff (still ongoing). I'm fine but it's eating my time. I've been lurking on the forum on and off (200 or so posts behind the curve - got some catch up reading to do). Found myself with a quiet mo so here I am. Better get some sleep soon, tho - it's another unforgiving day tomozz...

Take care

Emp

A few of us seem to think that the Bling's atomizer runs slightly cooler than most other atomizers. All speculation of course, but this is why you get less vapour but apparently more flavour from a bling.

well my cigars is the same as pillboxs,and ive recently been dripping it more and more,due to my new found love for drysmoking totally wicked france pipe...

my cigar gives out plenty of visable vapor on exhale,and tastes great...after letting it gather dust for months,im really enjoying it now,thanks to having decent liquid at last.

hi Kasija...im not wild about the taste of cigar carts either...but then mine were Ruyan ones...i dont know what pillboxs are like.

anyway,all you have to do is drip about 5 or 6 drops of whatever liquid you have straight into the atomiser-the only liquid ive found that works well for me drysmoking is pillboxs france pipe,but then i havnt tried france pipe from Janty...im sure its good too tho...

then put on a mouthpiece without the cartridge attached-your cigar should have come with a dummy mouthpiece-or just pull the white cartridge part off the black mouthpiece of any of your other cartridges.

then just give it a few puffs,and smoke away...add more drops and change to fresh batteries as needed.

hope that helps...:)

If you wanted to get a Ruyan bling you can get the atomiser and LED cap from Wayne direct for $31 USD including UK postage - heaven_gifts@yahoo.com.cn I don't know how much he charges for cartridges.

You would also need a charger $12.58 (the ones that come with the bling kits aren't great) and batteries $4.32 - DealExtreme: $12.58 Ultra Fire 10440 14500 Ac Charger
DealExtreme: $4.32 Ultra Fire 10440 3.6V 500mAh 2Pack

So apart from cartridges you could have a decent bling setup including postage for $47.90/£26.06. You might also want to get extra batteries though.

My bling gives good vapour and tastes great with Janty and diy juice, I don't like the Ruyan cartridge taste. It's great value for money in my opinion but it is chunkier than an ecig and is covered with Ruyan advertising (although it's in Chinese and looks a bit arty).

OK, (here goes my stupid curiosity again...) Is the Bling just a "fat" e-cig?

I use the pen style (and one mini occasionally) but I'm curious, and rather than drop another chunk of money on yet ANOTHER new e-smoking device, I'm wanting to know what make the Bling a ... better/faster/stronger/cheaper alternative.

(and yes, I'm sure if I search, I could probably find 20 posts that answer my question, but I already spend TOO much time in the forum) :D

Yes, ecigars are just bigger, fatter ecigs. They use generic batteries though so these can be replaced when necessary at little cost. The batteries are also working less hard than the ecig batteries because they are bigger. Ecigar cartridges are also a bit bigger than ecig ones and hold about 1.5ml of liquid. Other than that there isn't much difference.

Thanks Kate.

Oh, and I went ahead and read through the 400+ posts anyway. I am SUCH a freaken geek. lol

I suspect that the Bling probably wouldn't be for me. I like lots of vapor and kick, which I do think is somewhat more geared toward the juice used and not the device. I think (for now) I'm better off just maintaining a nice stack of batteries and atomizers for my pen style. Although, I KNOW I'm gonna have to buy the Janty batts so I can keep using that damn addicting manual switch. :)

this is true my generic cigar has more vapour than my bling..but the blings atomizers does not burn

as high as the generics do..the good point about this is the bling takes a lot longer to get hot..it

betterfor tasting the juice flavours.. more than the generics.. Kate will vouch for me there..but

the generics burn at a higher voltage so produce more vapour than the bling but not loads more!

I tend to use my bling more with the ruyan carts.. because they work really well together and the

flavour is really prominent more than with a geniric cigar..the problem with using the bling for 3

party juice is because it burns at a lower voltage which is the way it was designed for the ruyan

carts..when using 3rd party juice because of the lower voltage it doesnt burn the juice at a higher

enough temperature..which seems to cause the juice to clog the pot more quickly!

but this shouldnt be a major problem if good quality juice is used or thick strong juice is cut!

kate is living proof of this.. she has been using good quality 3rd party juice for a while now.. and

her blings still going strong.
