    I've been using some of the Halo Freedom for the last few days. I quite like it. It's a bit like the USA/Marlboro mix, but a bit of a more pronounced flavour.

    Much like mewso said about Torque 56, it gets a bit dry after a while, so is not an all day vape but is a very nice tobacco flavour to use from time to time.

    Of course we've pretty much guaranteed by the power of suggestion that Samba will find it getting a bit dry :)

    Using the standard Bestshop Virginia right at the moment - very nice indeed, tastes a lot like tobacco with a tiny bit of sweetness.

    Just got that in the post, very nice indeed I must say. I was finding Liberty Flight's USA Mix to be a bit too dry for my tastes as an all-day vape and I prefer to vape one flavour all day so that's a bit of a problem for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    Screw you guys! :D

    Actually might not be a bad thing as it may reduce the amount of vaping I do, that's the danger with all these delicious tasting flavours, you end up vaping just for the sake of a good tasting vape!


    I need to find my self a staple liquid, the Joye is looking like the front runner but I'm put off by the price tbh, I might try the Marlboro mix.

    I got some this morning too, its not bad so far, the last tobacco flavour I got smelt and tasted like really smelly socks (not that I have tasted smelly socks)!! I also like to vape the same thing all day so hopefully it will work for me as a change from menthol.

    Also got some clearomizers.... 4 of them are broken!! one of the tubing is too wide and leaked everywhere and 3 of them have cracks at the bottom :(:( have emailed the suppliers and waiting to hear back

    Here's what e-cigar had to say about the joyetech liquids...
    Hi,
    We have other liquids in the bright yellow colour – CAMEL,TOBACCO STRONG and LUCKY STRIKE.
    JOYETCH sometimes makes modifications in the prescription, for it liquids can differ.

    Regards
    Krzysztof
    www.e-cigar.pl


    Might be worth a punt on some 10ml bottles. I'm all stocked up for now.

    Just got a Clearomizer (rev 5) off a friend, the ones for sale on bestshop. Have to say so far its good. A bit more vapor and flavour, and the vapor is a bit warmer :)

    Impressed so far.

    I think they are great, once you get used to filling them, and use drip tips or you will burn your mouth!! Flavour is consistantly good and same goes for vapour. I get mine from thebestshop too, their customer service is brilliant, they emailed me back about my broken clearomizers straight away are are replacing them for me, should have them tomorrow. They are brilliant to deal with.

    Well I just have the regular flat top on it. But I'll just have to be careful. But so far so good. May be on to a winner. :D

    I found that when I used the flat top my lips were close to burning!!! If you decide to buy some you will get a tip that comes with the packs, it has a really thin rubber tip to it and is great. I find the flavour is way better to tanks and finding that im not using as much juice with them too so its win/win

    Interested in testing out the cartomizers/clearomizer (same thing really) but I I've decided to put a stop to the spending for a while.

    Do the cartomizers fit on to Ego-T batteries and if not are there adapters available?

    Yes just get the 510 version


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    I also found the clearomizer quite hot to use, and I'm not sure where my drip tip is so im gona have to shelve it for a while until I find it.. looked interesting though.

    got two flavours from irishvapers and i'm quite happy with them, both smell and taste very good.

    also got my B type ego-t's and by god I'm loving them. I'll have to use them for a while before I make any judgement, but I think I've found my atomiser.


  • Registered Users Posts: 813 ✭✭✭mrplop


    After receiving the new Tobacco flavours today, I've managed to go the whole evening with touching a real cigarette.

    Amazing the the difference the new flavours has made - I like the Bestshop Virginia as much as the Marlboro after switching between them all day.

    The Winston is great too - not as sweet as I first thought so I like that juice also!

    Hi

    Planning on buying one of these e -cigarettes and kicking the habbit!

    Which is the Best E-Cigarette to buy and from where?

    Thanks.

    Same advice given to me;

    http://www.thebestshop.eu/joye-ego-and-ego-t/joye-ego-t-xl-starter-kit/prod_174.html

    Awesome product and brilliant service from Bestshop - go for the B- tank option. The Marlboro/USA and Virginia ejuice are the closest I've got to real cigarettes so far.

    I'm vaping less than two weeks so keep that in mind though!

    Is there particular e cigarettes with nicotaine?

    I smoked purple silcut so what would be on the same level as that or does it matter regarding the nicotaine level?

    Cheers!

    yup i have to say iv used them 3 times so far and there spot on,only thing is i keep seeing stuff i forgot to order off them.
    Im useing the tip supplyed with the Clearomizer but i get the odd bit of juice on my lips and im fraged if im going to put in a 4th order for just a drip-tip and cone atty cover.

    compared to the std and LR ego atty i have the Clearomizer has a much better vape and taste and feels a bit weter with a slightly diminished hit.
    iv a strep throt at the mo tho so ill report back when thats gone.
    but looks like iv found my grove with the Clearomizer on a ego-t bat for 90% of the time.

    I think there fantastic if ur looking for a better taste/vape
    They will fit on a ego-t batt but for looks id say order a cone atty cover aswell as a 510 drip tip if ur geting them.
    heres mine

    photo2qt.jpgphotoigk.jpg

    the cover would make it look alot better when out and about

    The Joye Ego is an excellent starting e-cig. 18mg is a good starting strength for e-juice for a regular smoker. Some will want much higher (like me), and some will want lower etc.

    Esel - no not personally but I've seen on a fair few forums that people have a tendency to have allergic reactions to PG more so than VG.
    Thanks for that. Seems that PG may be the culprit. I've e-mailed my supplier to asked whether the juices I bought have PG, and whether they sell any VG-only liquids.

    I did a bit of googling, and apparently an allergic reaction to PG is not uncommon when vaping. My symptoms: big hive-type swelling on the side of my head (still there, but reduced in size) and swelling in the larynx area of my throat - very painful when swallowing food (this is gone now).

    I hope it is a PG issue, as I want to keep vaping!

    Hmm, you can try VG or PEG and see if it's a difference. Other than that, over the counter antihystamines should bring some relief right away hopefully.

    I've a spare bottle of Capuccino /Camal VG if you want to test it out?

    Pm me and I can pop it in the post for you, it's no hassle, as I make daily runs down to the post office.

    That's very decent of you to offer, and I may yet take you up on that! I've just ordered some VG and some cartridges, so hopefully that will arrive before the weekend. In the meantime, back to the old ways.... :D

    You should check them, if you look through the packaging you can see if there are cracks in them. When I emailed them about it they told me that they were getting on to their supplier as they are having alot of problems with their stock. They get back to you straight away are are very helpful.

    P.S

    Maybe i'm wrong, just my observation. Packaging is different than others I've bought. Filler needle is different...also found it strange that a manufacturer wouldn't put it's name on it's product??

    Is nothing strange in this believe me. You can buy OEM product (no brand on the box), with manufacturer name or even with your own name.
    Next example Joyetech, no logo, no manufacturer name on thier products.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,715 ✭✭✭Gryzor


    These are not the clearos i'm used to. All were ok, no cracks, but the tube is alot thicker than usual. The way I use them is on an ego, with the cone fitted for support. The cone won't fit over these ones. :(
    Usually I stick it in my pocket, can't do that now without the cone...too much of a risk of the tube breaking off....

    not the end of the world, they do for arry tank innards...

    I tried edition 3,4 and now 5, none of them fits with ego cone. Only way is cut down the top part of the cone with angle grinder ;)
    Can't use the cone with Boge cartomizers, cleromizers, dual coil cartomizers - not big deal.

    BTW CE3 is just behind the corner :)

    My cone bought at vapourstore.ie works with all the above. First ones it won't fit are the bestshop clearos. These appear to be newer clearos...plastic tube is thicker on them....probably due to the earlier ones cracking around the base so easily...

    CE3...any major changes??

    I received clearomizers and a cone from thebestshop yesterday and the cone fits over the clearomizers no problem. Had some cracked clearomizers in the order I received, fired off an email to bestshop and received replacements this morning along with 3 dual coil cartomizers F.O.C., Now thats customer service!!

    How's the air flow with the cone?

    Air flow is a little muted compared to without the cone but I quite like it, it stiffens the draw a little but not too much, and feels a bit more solid and secure.

    No problem,

    VG is a thicker liquid so try diluting it slightly with distilled water if you have any problems vaping.

    I've been told Tesco are doing electronic cigarettes now?



    Have to say never seen them in Tesco but hey very possible as ecigs are really becoming more and more popular (five of me friends are using them already:P). Actually me neighbour down the road is opening an ecig online shop. Am over the moon as won't be stuck from now on.She's only around da corner from me :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    I'm put off by the capacity of the clearos but I've found my answer.

    Will look completely OTT but I don't care as long as i'm not smoking analogs.

    Any cone that will fit around this? :D

    http://www.uk-eliquid.co.uk/pages/arry-tank-tutorial

    The attys have performed adequately for me but I've noticed they tend to be inconsistent, oddly enough I've found them more reliable when I don't fill my carts past the half way mark (on both mega and standard).

    2nd one now in 4 weeks to develop a bad taste, probably easily remedied if i took it apart and gave it a good cleaning seems like more hassle than it's worth especially if there's better alternatives such as the Clearo, cleaning looks like a much easier job too.

    I invested in the arry carto tank, brilliant device as the carto is always kept wet and I usually get 8-10 days out of the carto. Only downside is filling is a pain in the arse as is replacing the carto inside. Still I get more than a days vaping out of one tank.

    Im liking the dual coil cartos at the minute and Im tempted to get the dcc arry tank!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm new to the world of e-cigs and I'm wondering about "vaping" in public places.
    Theoretically it's allowed but is it really tolerated? I know Ryan Air sells them so it should be OK with them but how about trains, pubs, restaurants?
    Would you care to share your experience with me?
    Many thanks.

    I use it everywhere, even on the bus and I haven't had any trouble, but I don't really show it off, just blow the vapour downwards and nobody notices. Have had a few bouncers ask me about it out of interest on nights out but have never had any problems.

    they're a bit sweet for an all day vape, but by god are they tasty.

    I've just realised I don't like menthol anymore ,I was never a fan of tobacco liquids, but I've got a terrible "GOO" on me for some tobacco liquid.Menthol has been my all day vape for over a year now. I rekon I'll try RY-4 and some standard stuff ,and I'll get some Joye tobacco liquid. What do you think people?

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 9,033 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Well Ry4 is the marmite of tobacco liquids so no harm in finding out what side of the fence you will end up on.

    I notice Irish Vapers have the Joye liquid - http://www.irishvapers.ie/joeytech-e-liquid/84-30-ml-joyetech-e-liquid.html - I assume it is the same stuff anyway.

    Only a Euro cheaper than vapourstore but they do have it in 24mg which could make it more value for money if you diluted it down to 18mg.
