Afternoon all.

So, went to the Liberty Flights shop in Stockport today. Helpful lass behind the counter let me try her spinner with a standard clearomiser. I was impressed, so will be buying this evening. Also let me try some liquids in store. Found a tobacco flavour that I liked, and was surprised that I also liked the strawberry menthol too..

Thanks again for all of your help. Will let you know how things go when it all arrives

Brilliant news.

The shops are great for trying things out aren't they? I don't have one in my area, but like you my dad wentvto one yesterday and is now sold on the idea.

I have got a cherry menthol, I will add the strawberry mentholnto my list, which is getting bigger, and bigger..

Hi bigsmoke welcome

[bigsmoke]

Update for you all My kit arrived on Friday (2x Ego Spinner 1300 mAh, 2x Evod Clearomisers & Charger).

I smoked my last real cigarette on Saturday morning before setting everything up and having a go. Not had a real cigarette since, and feeling confident so far. Back at work tomorrow, which will be a different test for my will power. Will let you know how that goes soon enough..

Experienced a couple of teething problems. The Evod had a slight leak/gurgling issue yesterday afternoon. I was getting a lot of (what I think was) condensation & some liquid in the mouthpiece (not pleasant).

Put this down to a couple of things; thankfully I think I have worked out what I was doing wrong! I had originally screwed the Evod onto my spinner too tightly. My vaping technique wasn't too great at first either. I was drawing on the ecig in the same way that I smoked (hard, short drags). I know now that this is not really required. Have had no further issues yet. Using a longer & softer intake.

Thanks again for the original advise, I am very happy with the performance and look of my kit.

My girlfriend is also impressed; she is also a smoker (very light). She smokes about 2/day but can go through 10 or so on a night out. She would like to replace her own smoking habit with vaping. After letting her know how helpful you have all been on here, she has asked me to ask for some advice for her. She has decided to get an Evod Clearomiser, but wants a smaller battery.

Would something like this be ok,? I have noticed that they are quite girly: EGO Q & K BATTERIES
Looking at the 900mAh models..

Thanks again for your help - I feel happy atm. If I am still smoke free this time next week I will be dancing like a madman !

Brilliant to hear it's going so well for you Bigsmoke.

Those batteries will be perfectly fine for an Evod, although they don't have a VV function which probably won't bother your GF as she's a very light smoker.

If you did want to get something smaller in form with VV, then a 650mAH Ego Twist is about the same size as a 900mAH Ego battery, it's also made in a very pretty pearlized pink.
