Star Electronic vapour cigarette with PCC

The star is another addition to the electronic vapour cigarette range. It features a PCC (Portable Charging Case) by which you can charge the battery while you are out and about. A very handy feature.
The Star looks very much like a cigarette which means it has a smaller battery which lasts anything from a couple of hours to 4hrs depending on your vaping requirement.

The idea of having the Star is that you do not have to carry a big Mod which is another word for a bigger electronic cigarette which are usually much larger and do not look anything like a real cigarette.

As you can see from the photo, the Star comes in a fairly small carrying case which as mentioned above acts as a charger as well for the batteries that come with it.

The Star PCC holds 2 batteries, 3 cartomizers. On the right hand side, the Star can hold a fully assembled electronic vapour cigarette also known as vapourette.

On the left side of the PCC is where you can charge the battery. All you do is slot the battery in and press down. Once you close the lid, the battery starts charging.

There is a touch button on the PCC and 4 LEDs to let you know how much charge is left in the PCC itself and if the battery is charging or charged.

The first LED lights up red when the battery is charging then it turns into green when it is fully charged.

As for the PCC itself. You can charge it through the mini USB port at the bottom which takes about 5-6 hrs to charge fully. Once fully charged, the PCC will charge 3-4 batteries before it needs recharging again which is plenty for a day's vape.

The Star PCC is unlike other PCCs you have seen. It works with a sliding action rather than a flip top. When you slide the body down, the top flip opens exposing the battery, 2 cartomizers and the spare fully assembled electronic vapourette. They are all in one row which makes it look slim and easy to carry around.

The cartomizers can be refilled so once the e-liquid of the cartomizer is consumned, instead of replacing it with a new one, you can refil it. That way saves money which makes the initial purchase of the Star PCC more attractive.

The battery power of the Star electronic vapour cigarette is a respectable (for its size) 220mAh and you get 2 of them with the package. 

The PCC itself has a battery of 1200mAh which will charge around 3-4 batteries.

The Star PCC is available at vapourettes reasonably priced at £39.99.

If you are new to vaping or a beginner and you want to make the switch and want something as close as a real cigarette, then the Star PCC package can be for you.

Personally when i first switched to vaping a little over 3yrs ago, i had to have something that looks like a real cigarette so i opted for something like the Star. My first electronic cigarette was an E-lite which was the one that took me off the real cigarette. In those days they were not anywhere near what they are today. They were more difficult to work with and cartridges use to run out in no time. There is a learning curve when you switch to electronic cigarettes. The main point s the way you use it. Always take longer and slower drags/puffs to get the best effect the real cigarette gives. If you use an electronic cigarette the same as a real cigarette, you will not get the desired throat hit or kick and also the amount of vapour (smoke).

Using a vapourette electronic cigarette for the first few times.

It has come to my attention through the sales of electronic cigarette that quite a number of people give up on them fairly quickly and revert back to smoking due to the lack of knowledge/guidance of how to actually use them.

The majority of people tend to use them as a normal analogue cigarette, yet there is a slight difference between the 2 in the way it is used.
First of all, to produce the smoke (vapour in that case) the atomizer needs to be heated, yes it heats upon the first draw or whenever you draw on it but it does need a longer and slower draw to get the electronic cigarette working as close as the real analogue one. 
This is key to using an electronic cigarette. Longer and slower drags.
Once you start doing that, the electronic cigarette works perfect. So please bear in mind that switching from analogues to electronic / electric cigarettes or Vapourettes as they are also called does require a bit of getting use to and please do not give up.

There are 2 types fundamentally of ecigs. 

Automatic and manual (no its not a car!)

• The automatic ones are activated by the draw or drag. Once you start taking a draw / puff / drag, the atomizer is activated by the amount of air that is going through. The power from the battery heats up the coil of the atomizer which in turn starts vapourising the liquid that is contained in the cartridge. Then hey presto you got vapour and nicotine to satisfy your craving but without so many carcinogens that are in a real cigarette.

Electronic cigarette with automatic battery (no button)

• The manual one works in a slightly different way by way of a switch usually located on the battery. What happens with a manual ecig is that you press the button a second or so before you take a puff. What that does is dort of preheat the coil which means it delivers more consistent results.

Electronic cigarette with manual battery

The automatic type is fine to start with as it is very much like a real cigarette. It takes a bit of time to get use to a manual type of vapourette but the results are much better with a manual button.

The very main point to remember when using or switching to vapourettes electronic cigarettes is to take longer and slower drags / puffs or draws.
