Going back to smoking?

[Karma]

The only issue I've had with a Vivi Nova was 1 that leaked, i'm pretty sure though that my leaky one is a fake. My others are all fine. I'm now less inclined to save a couple of quid and would rather spend a bit more from reputable vendors where I know I'll get the real deal and good customer service if things do go wrong!

I also have a stock of pre filled cartos, so handy when in a rush and also I have them dotted about in different handbags etc as back up

Hope you get on with the rebuildables, I've got 2 but not used them yet :-[

I dont know whether this has been mentioned............. but are your posts alligned and everything screwed tight? I've not had any leaking with my vivi's other than one time when I put an ameretto juice into a clear vivi tank and the bl**dy thing cracked and spilt juice all over a cushion Never did that again I can tell you.

Dave I am feeling your pain right now for different reasons entirely ! If you buy the tobacco you will smoke again it's as simple as that. I have started smoking after 8 months vaping I might only be half of what I used to smoke but still I am doing it and its hard to now pack in the few I am having as I am in a routine of a couple of rollies in the morning vape in the day and a couple at night . I really hope you can find a solution before you get to where I am now

There's almost been a couple of times where I've been tempted to throw in the towel, but the mere thought of having to go back onto those horrible fags keeps me going.

And eventually it all works again, you find yourself calming down and liking vaping again,

It can sometimes be an uphill struggle, sometimes something that worked one day, won't work the next, it all generally has a reason and the more experienced you get with each thing, the easier it is to make it work (or work out you need something else )

That's a real shame queenie, how about getting some different more type tobacco juice for just that morning vape?

I was just gonna chirp in with something similar queenie, have you tried www.ok-smokey.com/ for their double flavour amber leaf, good rollie likeness by all accounts and reviews

Thanks you guys I will take a look I am having such a hard time with it all at the minute the 100% VG thing doesn't seem to be working anymore and I have had psoriasis and spots now for about 6 months plus some of my juices are making me cough worse than a ciggy and the fruity flavours I can vape are giving me heartburn ! Sorry Dave for hijacking your thread

I'm in the same position as you queenie, but am still proud that I'm not a 30-40 a day man anymore...........

Well it seem there are a few of us in the same boat least we are not alone

Queenie. Have you tried hay fever tablets? 70p for a pack at Wilkinsons. They are also available at Pound land. I used them for a few weeks then ran out and found I did not need them any more. Worth a try.

Don't do it mate, it's seriously not worth it ;-( as for the Vivi's i use them switch from v3's a couple of months back due to frustration and leaking, I do find my vivi's leak a bit but not enough to get me wound up just yet, I use 2 of them different juices and i also use 50/50 mix, in all honesty I make sure to change the heads every couple of weeks, which seems to really help with keeping them working properly.

in all honesty if the rebuildables weren't that expensive i would go and invest in a couple of those, but not ready to make that move just yet.

be strong mate, I am sure you will get all the help you need

I was on them most if the summer as I suffer with hayfever didn't make a difference

I know i have only been vaping for 2 month today, i have had days where nothing seems to work, or make a difference, and at times like that i would have loved nothing more than to have a normal ciggie, but if you think about it if you go back to smoking, at some point you WILL want to give up again and have to go through all the frustration to get where you are now, i know if i had just one cigarette i would be back up to a 20 a day smoker in a weeks time, and in the end i will only have to go through all of the frustration again.

[lobeydosser]

A very interesting topic. I did not realise that if I smoked a fag again, that it would be so difficult to get back onto full time vaping!

These answers have made me more determined than ever, not to have even one ciggy no matter how atractive they are at any given moment.

With the price of one super king cigarette, that I used to smoke, I can now vape all day on my home brew mixes. So starting smoking for me would be financially suicidal.

For most of the last thirty years I have been mainly a pipe smoker and I am missing not just the taste of a freshly lit pipe but also the ritual that goes with pipe smoking, cleaning the bowl out, fefilling.lighting up and then lightly tamping down things that can't be replicated by vaping. Rebuildables might be something for the future once I've had my left eye done to match the right (cataract) as my optician is unable to prescribe new glasses yet as this causes double vision. I'm just going to see how it goes and if I think I will feel more relaxed back on my pipe then so be it or I may find that I can get by with vaping. Dave
