Today I have bought...

[discojam]

an electronic cigarette!

I found this forum a little while ago and have been a lot about e-cigarettes but got really overwhelmed at the choice and variety, by chance someone mentioned a shop in Colchester that sold them so I went in there had a go on one and bought a starter kit. Am so excited but a bit scared as well!!

It has
1 atomizer
2 batteries
1 Charger
5 mixed cartridges (I also bought 20 more and got a free carry case)
and an instruction book.

The batteries are currently on charge.

I noticed that the taste of the vapour is quite sweet, do you get used to this?

The model I purchased is an EC306 in black. Has anyone had any experience of this model?

I currently smoke about 15-20 rollies a day but it does vary and would LOVE to stop smoking analog cigarettes as the taste of smoke is doing my head in at the moment plus having a tight chest and all the bad stuff that comes with smoking etc. I am looking forward to getting my sense of smell and taste back!

Also, apparently with this model you cant use e-liquid just the cartridges and they don't sell flavoured ones, is it possible to get flavoured cartridges? Do I need to buy more of anything else like the atomizers? How long will they normally last for?

ummm...what else was there?? I cant remember! just that I'm excited and hopefully will be vaping from now on..

Thank you for any advice!

If it is this one here...
Electronic Cigarette EC306

Then it is a three piece model and there should be no reason you can not refill the cartridges.
Just buy your own juice to use for refilling.

You should ALWAYS have a backup atomizer, or better yet, two of them.
How long they last can vary widely, could be days, weeks, or even months.

If you're lucky, that thing you bought is a normal 306 model.
If so you can get atomizers from anywhere that sells 306 atomizers.

Yes it is that one! apart from mines not menthol, where would you recommend buying the atomizers from? theres so many websites out there I've read good and bad things about most of them and just dont know! would you be able to point me somewhere that explains about refilling them?

thank you for your reply!

Here's a few places I found by Googling "306 atomizer"...
JOYE 306 SERIES:ATOMIZER
ATOMIZER FOR 306 A - CIG OFF

Some places I have bought them before, like Cigtechs, don't seem to have them right now.

I suggest you only buy one to start with, if money is a concern.
As I said before, if you're lucky this thing you bought will really be a true 306 model.
But if it isn't, then these atomizers might not fit.

The best thing might be to ask the seller if the EC306 is truly a Joye 306 model.
He may not want to tell you though, because he'll know why you're asking.

Start by reading Chapter 3 in this thread...

PS what is a PCC?

Personal Charging Case.

It allows you to charge your batteries on the go.
You charge the case and the case can charge your batteries a number of times.
