What are you looking for in an ecig or pv? That is the real question. They have a sub forum on here that is fairly active and recently I tried one out. They work really well, actually better than my joye 510 did and I can see using this in places where space is a minimum(IE football games where my silver bullet is way to larger for those tiny seats). Most peoples issue with them is that they only offer a tobacco and a Menthol flavor and their cartomizers tend to be close to 20 bucks. After using it off and on for two weeks, I will say it is pretty solid device and the cartos seem to last. I even refilled one without a problem. Unlike the 510 and other cartomizers they feel to me more like an analog on the draw.

It does not replace my Silver Bullet as I said, but it is a solid device, just a little pricey.

I only recommend manual batteries for ecigs. I don't know if Smokestik offers manual - if you can find manual RN4081 batteries I think they are totally sealed metal on the threaded end and safe from being damaged or killed by juice leaks. And manuals make it easier to get a good hit.

And RN4081 is a second tier model - not much available for it natively. It's not a threading supported by new style cartomizer manufacturers. It's an Ok starter but when you start looking for blank cartomizers to use other juices, you won't find much selection.

Another model to look as is KR808D-1 (original manufacturer gold button model at LiteCigUSA.net, with colors and longer cutoff at Vapor4Life and the other style which is rubberized with a bit longer charge and better sealed manuals at SmokelessImage, Bloogplanet, Halocig G6)

Are you in the UK or NE US?

Sorry I was thinking you were in the US. If you want to buy from Smokestik and will be happy using just what they have to offer in their shop, you could buy it. But I hear it's near impossible to find blank Rn4081 cartomizers in the UK so you would be using their prefilled cartomizers and could use atomizer and cartridges (not the best way to vape)

An hour from your 5th post you can ask in the UK section (in National Forums) - they will know what's available in the UK

Re refilling Smokestik - I don't know if they use soft-cap cartomizers or hard or glued on cap (a rebrander trick to thwart refilling). Search Youtube for
Smokestik refill
Hendu refill
RN4081 refill
etc.

RN4081 can also use atomizer and cartridge so if you see any confusing videos maybe they are showing atomizer and cartridge.

...agreed, they don't compare to a lot of what's available but do have a place in the market...I got one gifted to me and was surprised at liking the taste...they are autos, so care should be taken if refilling and I believe there are other vendors selling diff flav cartos for them...their cartos are refillable using the condom method, just be sure they are not overfilled because of the auto batts..................

On the smokestik subforum there is a thread discussing refilling the cartomizers. I pulled the hard cap off and used a syringe, I think the automatic battery was the reason someone recommended against refilling them via condom. The only issue I found was that they are a tad bit deceptive, when they are slush on top they are overfilled, I found this out with a mouthfull of juice. Took off the carto, lightly blew out excess, made sure battery end was dry and all was right with the world. I usually would not recommend auto or low mah batteries, but these are well made and definitely have there uses.
