I have found that my overwhelming success has been 100% due to the fact I have convinced myself i am STILL smoking! I don't really care what the official take on it is. Thinking this way just works for me, with all the added bonuses of being able to do it indoors and even in the hospital! I think if I started to think about it differently, in that I was denying myself something I wanted I would be on a slippery road. This is exactly how I think of it as well and this is the only time I've ever quit and felt happy about it. In the past I think I convinced myself I was depriving myself of something I needed - and that was never going to work. As far as I'm concerned I'm still "smoking" - just doing it in a much safer way.

Hi Matt and welcome. I have a pretty similar story (well maybe apart from the sitting in a dark shed grinning ) Have had loads of great advice here too. Congrats on getting off the smokes - I never thought I'd be able to stop and this is the first thing I've ever tried that hasn't had me climbing the walls from day one

Very pleased with it indeed. Charge lasts me all day and my mac no longer has a row of little cigarette shaped batteries sticking out of every USB port I've also got round to trying out the clearomiser and tbh I'm sort of in 2 minds about it. I checked out one of the video tutorials and do's and dont's and as far as I can tell have done everything as I should have, but it hasn't really persuaded me yet that it's for me. There's the obvious advantage of not having to top up so often, but I don't feel I get as satisfying a "drag" as I do through the carto. Also, it seems to mute the flavours a bit, although I could be imagining that. Will persevere for a bit, but the black cat is going back in the carto - just seems to taste better. On the subject of flavours - I love the black cat and also the RY4 from vape escape. Have tried a few others - caramel (ok), cocomel (icky) whisky cream (jury still out) and caramel tabac (yuck)! I have let them all steep and have to say the whisky one is improving with every day - I'm a scot so I have to say that, although the only thing that should ever be added to whisky is more whisky So far I haven't tried anything with a fruit flavour. Anyone got any favourites they'd recommend?

Well the Riva kit has arrived and it's amazing! Can't believe the difference and am now even more convinced I'll stay off the stinkies for good. Thus far have just stuck to using the cartomisers, but will no doubt be having a try with the clearomiser at some point. Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone for the welcome and all the helpful advice. This is such a terrific forum, long may it continue Oh and got my raffle ticket, so will be keeping fingers crossed for that. Mustn't forget to add that I'm now also the very proud owner of a vape escape pen

Hi Jay and welcome I'm new too and everyone here is so helpful, especially when you're trying to make sense of the mountains of info available on vaping.

Thanks Chrissie, I guess there's a lot of the more technical stuff I haven't really caught up with yet - and don't worry I think I can stop myself feeling too guilty

I had the worst cough ever for the first 3 weeks after I stopped smoking, but it soon passed and has completely gone now. Good luck with it, you'll feel so much better in a couple of weeks

Thanks Gordy, I still have trouble believing that it's been so easy and wish I'd discovered e-cigs sooner, but no matter - better late than never I do feel slightly guilty sometimes though when my husband, family, friends etc are full of praise for me finally kicking cigs for good when I haven't really suffered at all, but I'll cope Oh and what is a spinner?
