Hi Nicky and welcome.

E-cigs are not classed as a quitting device, more an alternative to smoking.

That said, they are are a big step in the right direction.

There are lots of options and you will get some great advice here, so stick around and all your questions will be answered.

Hello & welcome Nicky

As you are a light smoker, something like the standard 510 or 901 would most likely suite you. Off to find some links for the best deals for you

Lol Jason has made it easier for me His 510 starter kit is a very good price -

awww great thanks guys, i've looked at loads of sites but i'm just so confused , with being asthmatic i don't want to oder something that is way too strong lol silk cuts are only 5mg!

[VE Jason]

The secret is then Nicky, to only use it when you feel the need to.

It's not so much about the strength of the cigs that you smoke, more about satisfying the craving, if you know what I mean

[nicky]

thanks Chrissie, just looked at the kit you recommend which looks great but (excuse my ignorance) how do i know it is the right strength ie like a mild silk cut cig?

[nicky]

crossed posts, thanks, so am i correct in thinking then that my hubby could get this kit even though he smokes more than me and stronger cigs?

[nicky]

Jason,
Thanks yes i realise that, that's why i feel this would better for me rather than a patch or tablet etc

[VE Jason]

Yes, but he may be better suited to a Riva kit if he smokes more and is looking for a direct replacement.

The 510 is suited to light use and beginners.

Basically, it comes down to battery power. The Riva batteries will last 3-4 times as long as the 510 and they also allow the use of larger e-liquid carriers, such as cartomisers.

But, I dont want to confuse things too much for you.

[nicky]

he smokes between 40-50 per day i at most about 20, so is that kit still good for me

[Chrissie]

Nicky, Jason is right, a Riva would be best for your Hubby. It comes down to battery power & also e-lquid strenght.

Have a look at this thread to help you understand about some of the different e-cigs & how they work

In all honesty, it sounds like the Riva is the better alternative, based on the amount you both smoke.

Why not consider a kit between you to start with and give it a try.

It seems very complex, but it really isn't, if you just take one step at a time.
