Really good kit, it's what I started with and still use every day. What e-liquid are you using? This is just as important as you getting the right kit. My tips would be: Rinse the new evods (not the batteries).After filling your evod (new, clean and after coil change) always leave to stand for about 15 mins. Don't inhale the first couple of tokes on a new evod just hold in mouth and blow out. Once the new wick and coil are fully saturated it will give a much smoother vape. Keep going, you may need to vape more often than you smoked. You may not give up ciggerettes straight away, I didn't for the first two weeks of vaping. Then found I just hadn't smoked for a day or two. The inhales needs to be gentler than a smoking. It will soon become second nature. Don't stint on nicotene. I smoked 7-10 rollies a day, moved onto 18mg liquid strength but find 20-22mg e-liquid great for a quicker hit. I'm a menthol girl so I went for 18mg menthol juice as advised earlier. It's perfect for me, tastes just like my usual ciggies but without the nasties. We never smoked indoors as we have kids so it's quite nice to have a little puff in the evenings without going outside. I am searching for some kind of case for it at the mo as I cycle the kids to school before getting the bus to work so I usually throw everything in a rucksack and don't fancy doing that with my precious new toy!

Well Hubby gave in and we brought the EVOD starter kit yesterday...it arrived this morning and we love it!
Any tips on getting the best from it inhaling wise? Had a right old choking fit with my first puff haha!

Thank you all so much. Djs you're a marvel...well I'll confirm that when I know it works haha!
Hubby is now reading your review. He hates methols with a passion so I doubt that will be his choice of flavour...cheeky git thinks I'm like dot cotton from enders!
Think I'll start with 18mg as recommended and go from there...quite excited!

Still undecided! Still like the sound of the initial kits recommended but hubby pointed out that they are quite large and knowing me I'll end up breaking one in my bag lol. I cycle the kids to nursery and school and then smoke at the bus stop on my break at work etc so usually on the go if that makes sense? The cartridge ones (excuse my terminology!) Seem quite convenient for this. If only there was a decent one. As I'm only a light(ish) smoker it would be handy to have something simple that I could just pick up in an instant and then tuck in my bag if that makes sense. Hmmmm! There is something... allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/34428/review-myepack-power-pcc-starterIt is just about possible this could be the "ticket"... Not perfect, but a starting place and certainly better than E-rip-off and Nic-o-hardly-any-nicotine. Hi djs! Thanks for that, just read your review and you've said you can refil it yourself, how would you go about that? Would I just buy some menthol juice and put it in the cartridge wotsit? I may well try this one for a start off!

Another question for you lovely lot!
Quite one the look of the starter kits suggested...hubby has been looking at skycig which is cartridge based.
Any reviews for this cartridge style of e cig please?

Thank you for the replies so far! How do you chose what strength to buy please? And how to tell how long they will last? Is there something simple like 10mls is the equivalent of x number of sufferings? Think I'm asking a bit much lol Oops auto correct replaced cigarettes with sufferings not sure why!

Hi all,
A little about me. I am 32 and didn't start smoking until I was 24 (must be mad!) I have given up quite a few times since then, when having each of my 2 children, then a few more times using patches lasting a few months.
Patches do work for me for the cravings and moodiness but I confess to simply enjoying a cigarette! Socially and also to have 5 minutes to myself from my 2 children.
I convince myself it's not so bad, I don't smoke around the children or in the house in fact they don't even know but the fact still remains that I need to take responsibility for secondhand smoke and the fact that by harming myself I am harming them in the long term.
I smoke superking menthols and probably about 10 a day. I simply don't have a clue where to start with e-cigs and am hopeful someone could point me in the right direction. There are so many companies out there it's a bit intimidating! I want a good quality product that is simple, cost effective and does the job please.
Many thanks for reading!
