Sorry - I spoke too soon. I'm looking for flavours to let my dad try for a month or two in a cartomiser (he has only just moved on to them and is unwilling to try a clearomiser) and I just read that this liquid is not suitable for cartomisers. Grindle suggested the tip of adding a small amount of vodka to make liquids more suitable for cartomisers but I'd want to check that this would work in this instance before buying.
I had missed that post. You can buy VIP liquids in booths in a lot of shopping centres afaik. The USA flavour is cigar like....I used to smoke camel and lucky Strikes and an occasional Cigar when I could afford them and the VIP USA is as close as I have ever got to tasting like a really good Cigar.
I have tried adding Vodka in a clearomiser just to see what effect it has and it vaped fine.....and no, I did not get an alcohol hit......sadly......

A cigar flavour is what dad likes (along with black tobacco in general and Egyptian/Turkish tobaccos in particular). Do you think adding vodka would work for a cartomiser in this case? Perhaps dePeatrick might know? Also, I now realise that the 2x3x30ml is not a deal as such - the 3x30ml is and Wiggy was just getting two of them. Duh!0 -

@dePeatrick
Do you think that the VIP USA liquid could be made to work with a cartomiser by adding a bit of vodka?
I see no reason why not....am quite sure that someone here will point out if there is a problem with doing so.
Edit: I just asked my OH to pick up a 10ml bottle of VIP USA today......have to try it again and see what it tastes like a second time

The VIP eliquid works perfectly in a cartomizer, and you don't need to add anything (vodka or otherwise) to it to make it work. After all, cartomizers are what they make most of their money from, in the cigalikes.
I have used and highly recommend an Ego Mega Dual Coil cartomizer. I got mine from ESI at €3 a pop, but they appear to be out of stock at the moment.
Good to know, thanks. I'd just like to be 100% sure that we're thinking of the same liquids because the VIP site states quite dramatically that their liquids don't work with cartomisers:
(From http://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk/30ml-e-liquid-c-34_36.html)
It's entirely possible that they felt they had to put this great big warning at the top of the page because someone at some point decided that they had been mis-sold the liquid when it didn't do what they were expecting and that, in fact, it works perfectly well with cartomisers as you said.0 -

That' same dual coil kit from Vaperus.ie two batteries, two cartomisers, charger etc.....€45 It is a good deal and I looked at some reviews of those cartomisers and they seem very good indeed.
ESI probably have a good deal on a starter kit too....will take a look and add it on here

This is charged and then used to charge the cigs, very slick. I'd say the first link I posted here is more suitable and will last a lot longer too, easier to use instead of fiddling around with portable charging devices but you will know what suits best yourself.0 -

He has kinda settled on VIP USA liquid and I am trying some more of it out this evening to see if it is as good as I remember it.
Thank you very much for the links and suggestions. I'm looking at them with my father and trying to persuade him that, although they look more alien than the Matchless cigalike he tried and surprised us both by liking, they would be able to give a stronger hit and would last longer between charges - making the cigalikes seem gimmiky by comparison.
He is just now coming around to see the sense in this and has consented to let me get him one of the more businesslike but less cigalike models. His main concern now is that it should not be too heavy. The sites don't seem to give weights for their products but I'll drop them an email and see if they can tell me.
Thank you all again for your interest and help.0 -
That's better that he has decided to go with a clearomiser model, gives that hit that a long term smoker needs, I smoked for 4 decades and tried a cig lookalike and hated it, tried an ego with a clearomiser and bought it straight away.....have not looked back
No more coughing and spluttering in the mornings, skin looks way better, and generally feel better and I mean mentally, somehow clearer, probably due to increased lung efficiency.....and I am only about 12 weeks or so off the cigarettes....I really hope he takes to them 0
That's ok, Good this has got you off the smokes too
