Electronic Cigarette

Disco Des is right, we are impartial & don't evangelise at all

A good e-cig can be used in any way that suits you. Either as a complete alternative to smoking, to help you cut down, or just to use where you can't smoke a real cig.0 -
Happy New Year everyone

hi- well have ordered some juice worked out £11 for 30ml so hopefully can refill easily & save more money paying £6 per pack of cartomisers at the mo (approx 75 ciggies) £8 for 30ml of juice (approx 120 ciggies). so fingers crossed- thanks for the advise.

so have refilled the cartomisers from 10 motives using eliquid tbh the liquid only lasts a couple of hours-can only put 3 drops in & is partial to leaking so back to buying the cartomisers for us

Hm71, the 10 motives isn't a very good e-cig I'm sorry to say
There really are so much better ones out there that work out even cheaper in the long run.
I love MSE, but not too sure about how many links they will allow me to post, so please come along & join AAE-C so we can help you further

i am actually not the smoker its my oh & he has tried so many e-cigs but likes the menthol version of 10motives the best & def seems to be having the most success with them- i myself know there are better cheaper alternatives but as i say it works for him so will prob stick with them- but thanks for the info.Duct tape is like the force.

yeh i agree didnt mean to sound like i was bad mouthing ukv(i use there chatroommost days) but feel i got alot more encouragment and advice at aaec whereas ukv seems more busier place and can get overlooked as a newbie.AAE-C and UKV have different personas, that's for sure, which is a good thing as we cater for all types between us And many of us use both forums.
anyway its good to see a few msers coming over to aaec.0 -
HM71, if it works for your OH, that's good
But if he ever wants to find a cheaper better alternative just shout
There are some fantastic menthol e-liquids available & they are so much cheaper than buying pre-filled cartridges/cartomisers 
Ex-homeless, you are so right. Both forums just want to try & let everyone know about the benefits of e-cigs.0 -
Just bought the Riva 1100 from https://www.vapeescape.co.uk for £32.99 with a 10% off code - it's so cool, I love it. Great battery life and the menthol juice I bought with it is lovely. Seems so weird to be 'smoking' in the house. Have bought a pick n mix pack of different flavour juices too to spice things up a bit - liquorice, apple, choc hazelnut, whisky cream and toffee popcorn, ha ha! So far so good, seems just like the real thing only without the health damage. It's a gadgety project too which always helps.
I actually ordered the groupon thing but then when I was doing some checking out of reviews and had a look through some of the forums that are out there, went and spent the rest of this month's fag money on a really nice one so I'll sell the Groupon one when it arrives.11th Heaven prizes Number 103

Brilliant choice Green
Check out the Boge cartomisers that Vape Escape sells, they fit the Riva, are as cheap as chips, & hold more juice than cartridges that come with Riva kit
