Yet another newbie

[smudge]

Hi there. Have eventually found my way here via ECF and thought I'd ask here for some advice. I started on e-cigs 3 months ago today and haven't had a single "real" cig since Can't quite believe it's worked as I've tried almost everything else. NRT, hypnosis (twice!), that Carr fella's stuff and cold turkey. Nothing ever worked for very long and I was beginning to resign myself to the fact that I'd never be able to stop.

Anyway, to make a long story short - I started on the Greensmoke ecigs but now obviously realise that it's a pretty expensive option - to be fair though, they got me off the nasties and for that I'll be forever grateful. Bought a 510 starter kit and some e-juices from vapeescape and have had a load of fun trying out the different flavours, but I'm finding the battery life isn't great (even the greensmoke batts last longer) and I'm looking for something a bit more....I don't know....punchier? maybe with better vapour production? I've looked on ECF and been browsing here today, but the choice is just a bit overwhelming and not sure what my next move should be. Anyone been down this or a similar road who might be able to help? So far I've only dealt with refilling cartomisers and get a bit bewildered by all the other bits of kit available, so any pointers would be much appreciated.

Good to see such a thriving and helpful community and nice to make your acquaintance

Hello & a very warm welcome to you Smudge

If you have got on well with the cartromisers that you got with your 510 from Vape escape, then I think you would find the Riva 1100 kit they sell to be far better & if you use discount code RAFFLE you will not only get 10% off but also be entered into a raffle with some great prizes -

Hi Smudge and #welcome2# you'll find the kit chrissie has linked to will give you what you want.

Welcome smudge.

I think most of us have been down similar routes to find the temple!

I have a VapeEscape joyetech mini 510 kit. I also have a RIVA kit, and indeed an eGo Vision spinner VV. Whatever you want to know on those, I can help. The rest? forget it.

Oh, I'm an expert with E-Lites too. ??? >

Hi Smudge,
You won't go wrong on here for help and #welcome2#

Welcome Smudge,

It is a bit overwhelmimg isn't it. ???

I was in the same position when I started and after a lot of research I went for the eGo kit. Have not looked back from the first vape, and unlike some others here I'm not that tempted by the shineys, although perhaps just a little.

There are many trusted vendors here where you can get this and don't forget your discount code... available here... allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=suppliers&thread=301&page=4#279384

The only treat I've given myself recently is the Vision Spinner which gives extended life and the advantage of boosting the power when needed. Overall I'm saving money and I DON'T need the fags.

If you're looking for a Spinner check the Liberty Flights Facebook page. They're giving various heavy discounts each day.

Good luck.

Hello Chrissie. Thanks for both the warm welcome and quick reply. I had looked at that kit and thought it definitely a possibility. Has the added advantage that I can try out the clearomiser wotsit and see how I get on with that To be honest though I find the cartomisers easy and quick and so far been happy with that method. At the mo' I'm totally stuck on the Black Cat flavour - really need to go back and try some of the others again!

Fantastic to see from your signature that you've been off the cigs for 4 years! Just hoping this time it'll stick for me too. Oh and thanks for the discount code - maybe for once I'll remember to put it in before I hit the "confirm" button

[smudge]

Hehe, I should take less time when replying - lots more help appeared whilst I was typing Thank you all for the welcome and advice. Will make sure to have a look at all your suggestions. Also, is there somewhere I can find one of those signatures saying how long you've not been smoking? It's been a very long time since I've been able to boast that I've been off the cigs for 3 months, so feeling quite pleased with myself!

Thanks again all - much appreciated

Good man!

Thinking about how to convert it (the spinner) into a e-pipe. It makes so much vape at high power......can't possible inhale all that.

[smudge]

Sure is Jess. Was very sceptical about it at the beginning - amazed it actually seems to have done the trick! Thanks for the banner code too, looks like it's working

You're welcome & it is working, so you have a booster to remind you how well you're doing.

I didn't know that vaping existed until I was introduced to it by a friend, him & his wife were very bullish, as he smoked more than me & it had made him forget all about cigs. Just wished I'd started as soon as he'd shown me, instead of forgetting about it for a coupla months. In the time I've been vaping, I've only very briefly thought about having a cig once, I'm very happy with that.

Hi smudge #welcome2# from me too

Hi Smudge and welcome to the forum. I started out with the Riva 1100 from Vape Escape and it's a good kit to have. I recently bought both a Twist and a Spinner so now I'm having fun with playing around with vv. I never really got along with cartomisers and preferred the clearos and now use the vivi novas most of the time. You'll soon sort out which suits you the best.
