Miniciggy

[Collie2011]

Hi,

A friend of mine has quit smoking using the miniciggy from miniciggy.com. He has now given this to me so I can at least attempt to cut down on the amount of analogue cigs I smoke. Having a 2 year old i'm very conscious of the affect me smoking might have on her.

So my questions.

1) Has anyone tried the miniciggy?
2) Do I have to buy the cartridges from miniciggy.com or are there others that will fit it?
3) How long does it take to get used to the weight and new style of 'smoking'?

Looking forward to chatting to you all and learning as I take this step into the e-cig world

There are two models of miniciggy, according to their site there is a new and old style. The old style was identifed as a 901 I have not been able to identify the new model, if you could post some pictures of it, disassembled showing both ends of the connections would be very helpful.

Your cartridges/cartomizers should be easy to refill and there are thousands of juice flavors available form out forum suppliers at different nicotine levels.

Welcome Collie !

We all "get used" to the feel at different times...and then you get another model and get used to it too !

Thanks guys,

He is posting it to me today so as soon as I receive it I will put pictures up of it so you can see. I've seen carts cheaper than miniciggy.com are charging so I was hoping to be able to get cheaper ones and then refill them.

If it is a 2-piece ecig them the cartomizers (all-in-one cartridge and atomizer) have limited reuse since their performance will degrade. But it is usually possibly to reuse them if you don't run them dry and singe them.

If it's a 3-piece then the cartridge can be reused many times, cleans, stuffing replaced, etc. In this case the separate atomizer is the piece that might degrade or stop working.

I think the one he is sending is the old style 3 piece one but it says on their website that the carto's fit on it. Might just get some E-liquid and fill the carts he is sending when they are empty.

Collie2011 - welcome to the forum.

You have a great chance to quit smoking all together with the mini=cig that your freind is sending you.

How many do you smoke a day ? If you don't mind me asking.

I went the first two weeks of quitting with a "health e cig". I have since moved on to a much easier, to use , and more powerful (battery wise) e cig. I've now gone 5 weeks + without smoking .

This from a man that has tried and failed sooooooo many times.

The carts on a minicig can be refilled. It's a little fiddly. But sometimes that becomes part of the distraction from analog cigarettes. The reward is getting it filled, and vaping it, and letting that cool calm feeling wash over you. Good thing about upgrading is the extended battery life. But you gotta see if you think it will work for you first i suppose.

Please keep us posted.

Hi guys and thanks for the welcome. I smoke 15-20 hand rolled cigs a day, Used to smoke normal cigs but they got far too expensive and then benson and hedges brought out rolling tobacco so i switched to that. I saw the health e-cig on amazon and did consider it just to try as it was so cheap but then my friend offered me this one for free. I'm thinking I will see how I go with this free one and then upgrade to a better one if I like it. I've seen a nice pink one here: TECC Pink Mini Starter Kit

 

[Del Boy]

Yeah that looks pretty cool apart from the colour but then i am a bloke....lol. Only one battery though. Far be it from me to tell you what to do but i suggest you could do a little better than that. At first battery life doesn't really matter so much because it's all new. But soon into vaping i think you'll wish that you'd got a model with two batteries or longer lasting batteries. I'm only trying to give you some "heads up" info that i wish i'd been privvy to at the beginning. Chrissie who posted just now is something of an expert with a lot of knowledge and a helpful nature.

 

[Collie2011]

Ooooh might have converted the Mr too lol. Apparently he has been thinking about it today and if we like the cheap one my friend is giving us he will put his hand in his pocket and buy us each a decent kit Hee hee. Kind of a bit excited now!

 

[Collie2011]

Yeah that did cross my mind but now I know they do them in pink I am going to have to find one with 2 batteries in pink lol.

 

[Del Boy]

Yeah you can get them....The riva510 comes in pink. Its a little bulky compared to the pink one you posted a link too. But i think it's a way better aid to acheive "smoke freedom". Great that your mr. is up for it too. Wow this really could be the start of future freedom from the bind of cigarettes. I will stake my reputation (i do have one ....honest) on the fact that you will both thouroughly enjoy your new venture into the world of vaping. I'm kinda excited for you both cos i know it works.

Come on Mr get your money out....lol

 

[Collie2011]

He doesn't get paid until a week tomorrow so I have to wait

That just gives me plenty of time to look and find the one I really want lol

 

[Chrissie]

Collie, if you are going to upgrade, go for the Riva - much better battery life than a super-mini or mini. Plus you can use LR (Lower Resistance) atomisers with it to get a better thraot hit & more vapour.

You can get it in Pink from Liberty Flights - use discount code ECR69 for 15% off.

Oops, sorry Del, I hadn't realised the thread had moved onto another page so missed your last few posts

 

[Del Boy]

Don't worry bout that Chrissie. I was hoping you would post again.

 

[Collie2011]

Well the post man has been and gone this morning and no e-cig

Unless it's been sent via parcel force and it'll come in a van later on. I can hold out hope lol.

 

[Del Boy]

Ha haaa collie - you got them mailman blues..lol

Sorry to laugh but i think i know how you're feeling. You wanna get on with it now...right ?

Whenever i order something to do with e cigs i want it to come now. I don't think i've been quite like this over anything for years.
