Hi Addict, and a belated welcome from me! Hope your kit has arrived, I've read this thread from top to bottom, and can't wait to hear how it goes for you. I smoked about 20 roll-ups or pipe tobacco for over 35 years, and gave up literally overnight, which took me quite by surprise. I tried a rollie about 5 days later, and after 3 puffs stubbed it out - it tasted horrible. I now much prefer the vaping, and have no desire (nor need) to go back on the stinkies. I'm using 18mg juice which does the job for me, although I'm now going to start lowering the nic level to the stage where I can give up nicotine altogether (although I must admit I really enjoy vaping at the present time!). Don't forget to post now, we are all hanging around waiting!!

I have it. Big jiffy bag with lots of little stuff inside. I opened the bag, had a look at the contents and promptly put them all back in the bag. I know it's weird, but I had been watching for the postman like a kid expecting birthday cards. Now, I'm feeling a bit daunted. I'll take it all out again at the weekend and practice assembling it whilst watching one of the Youtube videos. I'm not sure how long I should wait before I start vaping. Isn't it best to wait at least a few days to give the liquid time to mature, or did I get that bit wrong?

Addict, give it a go straight away The batteries come with a factory charge & as for the juices, it depends which you have bought as to whether they would be better to be steeped. I can't remember which kit you decided on?

Addict - great news that your kit has arrived If you bought the 5ml sample juices they won't need "steeping" (maturing). If you bought bigger bottles they should be fine by the weekend anyway. It's probably wise to wait until you have the time to go through it step ata time if you're feeling a little daunted by it. In a week or so you'll wonder why you were so apprehensive

Yes, I don't want to go at it like a bull in a china shop. I have two sets - the Twist with spare plus a small portable kit. I need to sort out which is which and keep them separate until I know what I'm doing.
Good to know that the sample juices are ready to use.

Hi addict, I'm fairly new to this too but if it were me I would give the small kit a try first as it's probably all set up for you (did it come with some pre filled carts?) if so then all you need do is screw a cart onto the battery and away you go, it will at least give you some idea what vaping is all about until the weekend when you can try the twist out. I personally wouldn't recommend starting with the twist just in case you get the setting wrong and be put off by the result you get. Just my 2 penny worth. Graham

Jason is indeed helpful. He told me to phone him if I need any help and I will phone him if I can't figure it out.
I'm inclined to follow Graham's advice and try the small kit first. It comes with instructions on how to charge the battery, so even I should be able to manage that. And yes, I think the carts are pre-filled. I'll give it a try later and see what happens. Have to smoke a few cigs first just to psyche myself up.

Addict, could you give us a link or full description of the smaller kit? We can then help you more with gettiung started with it Was it this PCC kit? www.vapeescape.co.uk/the-vape-escape-pcc-kit-**introductory-price**~425If so the cartomisers are prefilled & the battery should come with a factory charge. So all you have to do is screw the cartomiser into the battery & away you go

It's a PCC Kit that addict has and some prefilled cartomisers, so hopefully pretty straight forward. Just screw on the prefilled cartomiser and vape Charge the PCC case up via the USB charger and mains adapter and then when the battery needs a recharge, just screw it into the little holder in the case, turn the case over and press and hold the little button for a few seconds. The battery will then be recharged by the PCC case Then relax before moving onto Twists and bigger things

I'm vaping as I type. Thanks Chrissie and Jason for your help but, believe it or not, I had managed to figure it out. This stuff tastes ok but not strong enough for me.......not enough throat hit? It's a bit like trying to smoke an extra mild cig where you drag and drag but can't get no satisfaction. I reckon the twist may sort that out. I had been really worried that the liquid wouldn't taste enough like cigs but it does if only I could get enough out of it. Hope it's not just wishful thinking, but I think this vaping might just work for me.
How will I know when the cart is empty? Or is that another stupid question?
