As the old one is nearly full!

All & any vaping chat welcome.

No question is too daft to ask. We've all been there at the start of vaping in the minefield that it is.

Only rule is: No Willy Waving!!

I've gone up to a higher strength tobacco/menthol mix. Thanks for the tip Pubes! It's the first proper craving I've had. And it took me by surprise.

Glittery7 · 16/03/2015 16:56

Any advice wise Vapers? I have a CO4 kit (Jenson S-900 series) and despite having 2 newish batteries, neither are charging. Only difference is I've been using generic cheap clearomizers from Amazon. Not sure if I've overfilled them or sloshed liquid inadvertently in them but now they're not charging.

When I plug them in (using correct charger) the light goes to green. If I try to vape with them they work for one puff then the blue light just starts madly flashing then turns off.
Am I looking at 2 dead soldiers here or can they be repaired?
Is if the charger maybe at fault?

TIA.

Glittery I did the same with my last EVOD, sadly I had to buy another one, it wasn't working at all, just flashing the blue light.

Hello, vaping (thanks spellcheck, but I didn't mean vamping or gaping) newbie here. Started yesterday, and today it has replaced the usual cravings I get at certain times for a stinky roll-up. I'm not too sure about all the technical stuff, but I bought a 'quit kit' off Groupon - different, erm, stuff (liquid?!) for each week for four or five weeks. First week is tobacco flavour, which I'm liking as not so different from regular snouts. But slightly concerned about following weeks though, there's some nasty smelling apple stuff in there...

Hiya fellow vapers Smile I am now 2 months and ten days fag free and still can't believe it!

For any fellow Weegie vapers out there, I stumbled across a place called Bean Smoking on Hyndland St in Partick last week (sorry if it's already been mentioned). The staff were really nice and it was much cheaper than my local place! Their 10ml bottles are £2.99, but they had a sale section of liquids for £1. I got one called 'Bean Power' which tastes exactly like Red Bull (if you like that sort of thing).

My charger broke recently and my local shop wouldn't sell me a charger without me buying a whole new kit (despite there being a box marked 'USB chargers, £5 behind the till!). I bought a couple of cigalikes from the newsagent to tide me over and I swear the tobacco one made me gag. It actually tasted a bit like a real fag and I had to bin it, it was so rank. It made me wonder how I'd ever smoked real fags!

Glittery7 · 16/03/2015 19:04

Thanks for the advice. Tried the trick to raise the central bit but no joy. Looks like the batteries are well and truly knackered.
Have a spare which is working but going to buy something else.

crispandfruity · 16/03/2015 19:11

Hello honorable and well done agent!!
Got over last night's craving and am still holding fast at 16 days!

I can't believe how horrible smokers smell and am a bit embarrassed that I used to smell like that.

Dentists tomorrow and at least I can say that I don't smoke anymore!

crispandfruity · 16/03/2015 19:12

Glittery, I'm no expert but some of my cheapo batteries don't like dual coils?

Next payday I'm investing in the ileaf estick.

ginmakesitallok · 16/03/2015 19:29

I've had an I stick for a few months now, great wee battery! Charges really quickly and lasts for ages. I just stick it in to charge every so often and use it as a pass through while its charging. Rarely use my MVP now, and can't remember the last time I used a spinner.

Naturevape coils are fantastic, really easy to rewick, I've only had to get rid of one since August!

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 16/03/2015 19:56

That's crap about making you buy a whole new kit just for the charger! I really want to support B&M but there seem to be more and more dodgy ones about Angry

eGo charger from Aspire here, £4.99 if anyone needs one.

crisp well done! Flowers

MeganChips · 16/03/2015 22:15

ginmakesitallok do you use the naturevape with the istick? Does it need a naturevape tank or do they work with others?

Allergictoironing · 17/03/2015 08:10

Megan I use bog standard GS-H2s with my iStick...

AgentCooper · 17/03/2015 18:49

I know, Plenty, I don't really trust the woman in that shop! She sold me a faulty tank once then when I tried to take it back, claimed it wasn't one of hers! The juices she sells are v nice but I'll be going elsewhere for my kit.

ginmakesitallok · 17/03/2015 18:49

I use a nature vape tank, a smoke around. But I think they fit evods too.

samesizetoes · 17/03/2015 20:08

Vapers tongue kicking in I think. Everything tastes kinda metallic and weird. Its been 4 days since my last cig which is the longest I've ever managed since I first started smoking 16 years ago and I'm determined to power through and stick to some menthol juice for a few days.

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 17/03/2015 20:38

Congratulations samesize Flowers Keep counting how many you haven't smoked. Have you been dual fuelling for a while or have you just done a straight switch? Sounds like a good plan with the menthol.

Agent, I once overheard the bloke in my local vape shop telling a new customer a 650MaH battery would last them 2 days! I had a very gobby friend with me at the time who butted in and told them it would just last a few hours and then got her phone out and showed them the same ones on FT for about £4 ShockBlushGrin

Which reminds me, I'm itching to put in a FastTech order. I know about the iSticks, what else is good (or hilariously daft) on there at the moment?

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 17/03/2015 20:45

Just to balance the crap B&M stories, I recently went to this guy's shop in Chelmsford and would recommend a visit to anyone who's in the area. It's only a little indoor market stall but he stocks a good range and is very knowledgeable.

MeganChips · 18/03/2015 18:21

Grrr, I just smashed my tank! I have ordered a stainless steel one instead to be delivered tomorrow. I daren't not have one and my last Iclear is at death's door.

Tiled floors and Pyrex don't mix folks.

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 18/03/2015 19:57

Sad Was it a posh one?

MeganChips · 18/03/2015 20:29

Observes silence....

This is the only thing stopping me buying one, im very clumsy and have shitty laminate throughout the house.

MeganChips · 18/03/2015 22:27

I'm bereft and slightly nicotine starved. I think my old clearo is a bit past it.

A stainless steel tank should be ok despite my clumsy arse tendencies.

I hope.

MeganChips · 21/03/2015 11:10

I have a new tank and an istick! Happy days, that was quick Fasttech!

Any recommendations on the best settings to use?
