I recently purchased a VIP e-cig and I just want to warn people, it is impossible to refill without getting the liquid down the centre tube, making it unusable. It is a terrible design. Do yourself a favour, don't buy it.

VIP are right up there as one of the top rip-off brands in the UK, outdone only by E-Lites and Blu.
People don't get it... but you do. Bad luck.

Hello & welcome @VIPiswastedmoney
You are right, they are a waste of money & there is so much better out there.

Easy answer = buy a box mod and a tank (a proper one that you refill and takes replacement atomizers).
Long Answer = check out an online shop (a good, reliable one) and ask question on here or AAEC or UKV about the products.
I use and recommend Myepack for most items.

but these are cheap for some mods.

The trouble with the UK (at the moment) is the big brands are running the show selling outdated rubbish for maximum profit. VIP. Blu. Vapestick. Vapouriz, Cirro - it's all utter junk compared to what you can buy out there... and crazy money too.
This isn't about blowing huge clouds of vapour and showing off, it's about getting reliable kit that is cheap to run and replace.
In practice, the difference (for someone like me) is it's £1,000-£2,000 cheaper to use proper gear. E-Lites would have cost me £4,000 a year and VIP or Blu about £2,000 with the prices of their products.
I vape for about £10 a week. (15-20ml)... but I had to get a collection of mods and tanks first.
Good luck
95% of the time, I use an eleaf iStick (30w) and Aspire mini Nautilus. OR a mini Sigelei (30w) and Kanger Subtanks.
just mayyybeee it wasnt designed to be refilled but designed in such a manner that you are supposed to buy about 30 of them a week ??

Yes.. could be. Vapestick were the creators of the original heinous product. A Non-refillable (fully sealed) CE4 for $17.00.
Ouch.
