Nicolites E-cigerette


The basic starter kit cost me around £20 from the chemist at Tesco’s which comes with a USB charger, battery and 2 cartomizers which the pack claims each cartomizer has around 20 cigarettes worth of puffs. The cartomizers come in boxes of three and have varying strengths and 3 flavours, Tobacco, Menthol and Cherry. The battery has a red light in the tip that serves as an indicator to show when you are vapeing, when the battery is charging and it also flashes as a low battery warning.

I think that you should charge the e-cigarette for a minimum of 8 hours before use, but being a bloke I threw the box away before reading any instructions and just went ahead and used it, I haven’t had any issues with battery life yet because of it but I might just be lucky.

I tried connecting the medium strength first and had a good old suck on the e-cig to find I got a nasty throat burn and a bit of a cough. This was not the fault of the e-cig rather mine for going over the top on taking the hits. With a little practice I got used to how much puff to use and found it a satisfying vape and very similar to smoking, I decided to go with the high strength cartomizers, Personally I couldn’t tell much difference between the high and medium strengths, but decided to go with the high because I normally smoke roll ups.

My cartomizers last me around a day and a half, that is a occasional puff during the day and heavier use at night after my son has gone to bed.

The price for a box of three cartomizers comes in at about £6.95 There are three in a pack, so far I have tried the tobacco and menthol flavours. Although I don’t smoke menthol's normally I prefer the menthol vapours. I have not yet tried the cherry ones as I have not been able to find them for sale.

I think that I have wasted a little bit of vapour in my cartomizers by not realising that my battery is getting low and thinking it was my cartridge that was running out, so I would suggest recharging your e-cig and trying with it again before throwing out your cartomizers or even purchasing some e-juice and trying a refill which could save you money. There are some good online tutorials online by Dr Vapour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y10Xeiudydc  that shows how to care for and refill cartridges, I have not tried it yet but watch this space.

All in all I like this e-cigarettes. I find it a nice smoke and as I work at a desk during the day I always have a charger handy so battery power is not an issue for me and I can have fun blowing vapour in the office.

  1. I have been using an electronic cigarette for 5 weeks now and have no desire to smoke 'real' cigarettes again. This was not what I planned, it just happened. I feel no need whatsoever to 'light up
