What to buy

[janie]

Hi. Have been hearing about the E-cigs for a while. Just seen a thread in Ebay which has rekindled my interest. A smoker for 40 years (OMG), need to stop but enjoy it so much lol. Want to buy a starter kit, went to the wicked site and was dazzled by the choice. Please can you tell me what buy (exactly). Janie

Hello & welcome Janie.

At one time it was so easy to recommend a starter kit as there where so few good one. But now there are so many to choose from

So for starters, would y6ou prefer an e-cig to be similar in looks & size to a real cig ? (the smaller ones will need the batteries recharging more often). Or would you be happier to go for one of the slightly larger ones?

[janie]

ooh, I'm panicking already Does the larger one look sort of normal. 20-30 a day habit, so think that would be best. I just want to take the plunge here and now, before I go off and let it slide.

[Chrissie]

No, to most smokers the Tornado doesn't really look that normal but I do think it would suit you

Here's a video link showing what it looks like & how it works ; -

[Chrissie]

For a smaller e-cig, there is the mini (DSE901) or the Titan (510) These are both great e-cigs but by todays standards the batteries just don't last long enough between charges - approximately 2-4 hours. However, they are cheap to buy & the batteries last several months & can be recharged over & over again. (The battery is the main/long part of the e-cig)

TW's Mini (901) : -

Have a look at this thread to get an idea about some of the different e-cigs & components : -

Thank you for helping. I'm off to order one. I'm sure I will be back with more questions. x

[Chrissie]

Janie, you are so welcome.

Totally Wicked who we are linking to at the moment (due to their sale) has a very confusing Yo-Yo sale. the discount keeps going up & down. If you have tons of time to spare you could keep refreshing but IMHO if it goes below 30%, I'd go for it & then when you get to paying for it, C&P this discount code for an extra &.5% off the price : -

Hi. Ordered the Tornado, 32% discount, stayed that way till I was fed up waiting . Ordered some juice, so hopefully will be all set to go when it arrives. Thank you so much for the help, I do need leading by the hand sometimes!! I will come back and let you know how I am doing or if any problems. Would have give up and delayed another couple of years. Best wishes and thanks to you all x

[Chrissie]

Well done Janie

Please don't hesitate coming back & asking for more help. Or even just to let us know how you are getting on

[beeper]

Hi there Janie, so glad you've taken the first step! well done! looking forward to hearing how you get on with the tornado : ) xx

Hello & welcome from me Janie, well done for taking the plunge - great choice!

As Chris says, any questions at all that you have just ask away, we've all been there!

Just to give you heart, after 36years of smoking, come the end I was putting away 40/50 ciggies a day am now into my 9th month of being an ex smoker . . . many on the forum are further along than me.

I never wanted to give up smoking, but thanks to the wonder that are ecigs, it's been pretty much plain sailing!

Hello Janie, great to see you here!

You need some JUICE! And BLUE FOAM! Much more economical for filling cartridges, and you'll have an amazing choice of flavours

James gives a great service and lots of us love his juices:
