So thought I should actually register. . .

[4madcats]

. . since it looks like I might be moving into the mysterious & complex world of mixology ??? and having read through the treads have realised I'm probably gonna need help, alot of help.
But anyhow have been vaping pretty much full time now since the end of August after I bought one of the 10Motives cig e likes from Sainsburys on a whim, initially for the OH when I was stocking up on the baccy. Got it home charged it up & thought not bad, not brill, but not bad. Typical OH wouldn't entertain it cos he didn't trust it & didn't know what he was "smoking" so I stuck with it but soon hit all the problems with the cig e likes, poor battery etc ect, plus I didn't realise you could actually refill the cartos Put up with it for a couple of days & realised it was actually working, wasn't vaping full time but it reduced the rollies by about 50%, even managed to get OH to give it another couple of tentative trys when he saw I was smoking less. Cos you only get one battery with the kit, finally got fed up when it ran out for the umpteenth time & decided to jump in all the way so started browsing. I'd looked at this site before but to coin another members brilliant phrase had got "anaylise paralyise" & left pretty sharpish. This time persevered & realising wasn't going to get anything that looked anything like a rollie went the whole hog & got an ego kit, 2 1100mah batteries couple of clearos, added some boge cartos cos I couldn't decide & some juice & the rest is history. I think cos of the beguiling honey coloured juice sloshing around in the clearo curiosity got the better of OH & I ended up sharing my kit till my second batch of vape mail arrived with extra suppllies . So I think the 3rd of September was the first day when neither of us woke up to a stinkie & for the OH this was major, specially since he tended to chain smoke in the morning, but that was it. Might have had a couple of stinkies since then but they were purely research value only, just to check wasn't missing anything fantastic, in fact I can honestly say the last one about 2-3wks ago that OH rolled tasted more like a dirty ashtray then anything I remember a cig tasting like
The collection of accessories is growing & at this rate the juice is going to need it's own shelf in the fridge, & we'er still finding our feet, but I think it's safe to say we have now given up smoking, so thank you all very much for a wonderful forum

Another success story #icon_welldone# #icon_welldone# well done.

Remember though, we are all here should you have any questions, no matter how silly you might think they are.

We also need you to keep us informed on what new stuff you are thinking of buying.

We are all a bunch of nosy gits.

Yep reckon I'll be good at the silly questions, 'specially when I finally get everything I need for the mixing. Keep going back to the mixing threads but nothings sinking in yet .
As for purchases ended up investing in a couple of the mini vivas today, damn these vendors with low prices & free P&P, I was only looking at a new drip tip to add to the growing collection & got sucked in looking at the clearos, I'm starting to think on a budget rebuildables will be the way to go. Also got some of the CE2s to try, I'm still fliting between clearos & carts & like the boges for the more fruity flavours so thought the ce2 might be a good comprimise. But I don't likey when the boges die & I've just filled one up Could be that I'm a little on the tight side & don't like seeing good juice going to waste, I'll just have to find a way to wring them out maybe already got a couple of empty bottles I could use for me dregs/salvage.

I love me ce2s. Much purer taste with them than the cartos.

Being from lancashire, theres a vapemeet soon in Manchester. If youre any where close then try and pop along... I`ll get the link.

Pop in and introduce yourself to Ellen. Great way of learning about vaping is by meeting people face to face.

A warm welcome from me Madcats.



With a user name like that, photo's will be a must as well.

[Globalbloke (Tim)]

Welcome madcats, I agree, that username conjures up images of maybe another Bengal cat owner (I have two, they are stark raving mad)

[Paul]

[Chrissie]

Hello & welcome 4madcats

I've got 9 cats - some madder than others

[genguskhan]

Hello 4madcats and OH as you know the are a nice bunch here

[lobeydosser]

Welcome 4madcats.
<<< Keep going back to the mixing threads but nothings sinking in yet .>>>

You and I are in the same boat. Get yourself a Mixing Kit and have a bash yourself.
A lot of the Mixology did not sink in with me until I started doing my own.

I now have 3 x 10ml bottles that are on day 3 of steeping and 2 x 10ml on day 2.
I have run out of bottles!!! Damm.
Anyway, these 5 mixs have taught me a lot and others recipes are beginning to make sense now.

But, the really daft thing about this hobby is that I am saving pounds and pounds on not buying fags and yet I am loathed to spend a few shillings on decent shop made e-juice and want to make my own!!! I must be bonkers.
