Love this piece

Since then it has seen an increasing amount of interest, with the GP striving to persuade all of his patients who smoke to vaporise instead.

Dr Ashcroft is convinced the health benefits of the substitution are vast.

VAPORISE big steps forward

It was featured on BBC2 recently in the program Burning Desire:The Seduction of Smoking unfortunately no longer available on Iplayer.

He was interviewed by Matt Gluggles recently which can be read HERE

Bet that medic will be making a fair buck out of the vaping shop LOL

medics/politicians - I don't trust any of them

i have to say my pain med dr at the hospital was really interested in my ego ( at that time it was all i had) explained all about it and he was really impressed that i managed to give up with it and supported it 100% even allowed me to vape it on the ward while waiting for my op, now most of you who have had ops know your not meant to smoke 24 hours before an op although i bet you all ignored it at the time like me, but he didn't mind me vaping, and was proud that i managed to give up the stinkies,

Only one small problem.

He's doing it for the money.

The prices on his website are a disgrace. £5.00 for a microcoil ??? £15 for a mini Protank. £7.50 clone evods.

but if it gets people interetsted djs it's gotta be a good thing - we could then go and sit outside his shop and tell people where to order the stuff from cheaper

Yep, maybe. Still don't like it though.

It is taking the pi$$ a bit (a lot!) but if it gets everyone thinking/talking it's a start .. BUT I was horrified when I read your bit about a mini protank for £15 !! if I'd have been starting out - at those prices I think I'd have just bought another pack of stinkies ! so I can see where you're coming from in that it's not good as it could also turn people off the idea

t.b.h. I've been scouring the internet to get a feel for the latest prices.

I met an 18-monther on Sunday. He buys his batteries and clearos off ebay, and his juices online or from our local B&M.

He pays £8.50 for seven GS-H2s or £9.99 for ten CE4s. He uses them until they die and then pops on another.

TEN CE4s for £9.99. It's hard to believe.

I told my girl who was looking for cheap batteries all about this thread

She is now going on a shopping spree
