Hi millerkev, and welcome to the forum, if you are just buying a cig-a-like to see if you get on with e-cigs, then it doesn't matter too much, as long as you are getting a true e-cig experience, I got my kit from www.skycig.co.uk it cost me just £11.99 for the full starter kit, using the coupon code SUN. I still carry this kit around with me now, as it is compatible with all my riva stuff, and is easier to use when driving, and draws less attention when I'm out and about.

I spent 1 month using just this kit, before I ordered my riva and decided to really get into the world of vaping. I haven't had a real cigarette since I got the skycig in my hand.

hi and thanks .. its the sort of thing i read so many saying but deep down the burning question is.. will i be joining you all and passing onto others the great stories you all have i truly hope so i hate smoking but have tried a lot of different ways to fold.. once i quit for a whole year but yes you guessed it back on. i aint got the will power hopefully the e-cigs will be the one that finally take me away from the disgusting habbit

Welcome along millerkev,enjoy the journey and feel free to ask lots of questions

[millerkev]

thanks bud ... all have been most welcoming but i guess i knew that to be the case from reading around the site
im going to try the mini`s ?? cheap option see where that takes me then i guess the real questions will come when i decide to upgrade re-fill my own etc etc .. from what i have read doesnt seem to complicated other than the many options available
one step at time hey rome wasnt built in a day..(as they say)

I tried everything, I was on the champix trial, I've used patched, inhalators, gum, lozenges, you name it, I've tried it. E-cigs have worked great for me, non of the side effects of quitting, but all the health benefits. I too have spent long periods off the fags just to fall back to them, but with this, if I get stressed I just go for a vape, rather than smoke, and get all the nicotine I need, the throat hit I need, and everything else you would associate with smoking, I'm just not killing myself with every puff;)

I have smoked 20 a day for over 20 years (I started aged 12), and I too have nothing in the way of will power, but within 2 days of only using an e-cig, it felt natural, and I could breath better. I live in a house with 3 others who smoke, My mother in law has smoked all her life, but is now also on e-cigs, again she has tried it all, including hypnosis, but she needed what nothing else would give... the sensation of smoking, which is what an e-cig will give.

I don't see myself as quitting smoking, I still get the nicotine, I've just moved from an old outdated technology to get my hit, to a new modern one So I haven't quit, I just swapped to a healthier option to feed my habit, and trust me, this option is a lot more fun

Welcome Kev!!

Kev, honestly the e-cig is a brilliant alternative to smoking & works so well.

I can more than understand why you want to go for a cheap ciggie lookalike to begin with, but please don't let it put you off e-cigs if it doesn't cut it for you. At a good price they are great for what they are, but remember there are so much better available
