Disapointed Day One

[mozzer]

I took the plunge and got a EGO Shisha with two E Juices by Li King GV and Blue Berry. The pen came in a blister pack with no mention of who made it just says electronic cigarette printed on the front instruction on the back is it a fake. So I fired it up with blue b no tasted to speak of very weak, is it me or have I got to use to the new taste or cheap juice .

did you let the eliquid soak into the wicks?

I have never heard of those e-juices so I think they might not be "main stream"?

got links?

If you're getting little to no vapour, could be a weak battery or the wick not sooking enough juice (let it sit for a few after filling), but if you're seeing decent 'smoke' then it's probably just a pansy-ass juice.

Also remember to vape slow: quick brief draws like off a ciggie won't be getting much vapour to you, longer slower draws will get more juice over the coils and into your face for a fuller flavour.

Firstly, welcome mozzer. What part of Somerset are you in, because I am more than happy to lend you a starter kit so you can see the difference. There are too many different reasons as to why this isnt working, but the biggest factor is the cheap shit being sold on Ebay. Go to a reputable vendor and you will see a massive difference and in most cases will be cheaper!

Sorry Liking from Ebay

There's the main reason why you'll be dissapointed with your purchase right there I'm afraid!

And your intro thread looked so promising

I kid, honestly don't shop on ebay for e-liquid..and with great caution for devices

Definitely what those chaps said: eBay has far too many folks eager to swindle newbies, overpriced junk abounds and without enough knowledge to winkle out the genuine deals it's too easy to get caught out.

Set yourself a budget (I initially went with 2 weeks of ciggies worth) and have a mooch. There's a load of decent suppliers on here, with discount codes for many, and at least then you know you're getting value for what you're paying.

And are outrageously priced You can make a bottle of no nic flavour for about 30p

Ebay have banned the selling of e-cig stuff on ebay (and have done for ages) so if the people selling stuff on ebay are bending those rules it makes me wonder what else they might not care about.

I would take the Andy up on his offer. A quality eGo battery (not a shisha pen) will set you back around a tenner. If you get a VV one then a little more.

JoyeTech, SmokTech, Janty, Vision or AnyVape are all good quality brand names for those kinds of batteries and you can find them in lots of places online .

One of the things that e-liqquids sold on ebay need to do to get around the ebay rules is not contain any nicotine, it's entirely possible that the e-liquid you have is zero nic. that doesn't explain the lack of flavour, but you might not have been getting what you were expecting.

Like Skitty says take longer slower draws on an e-cig than you would a tobacco cig as they work slightly differently.
