Well as I will not be around much tomorrow for my 4 year Vaping anniversary I thought I'd post this today. I can vividly remember the last (half) cigarette I smoked, the atomiser on the cig-a-like I had been using for about 5 days had popped, in those days you had 2 cig-a-like batteries and a couple of atomisers the atomisers alone cost about £7 each I had just used my last one and they just popped all the time. You then had a cartridge that had a even smaller little cartridge inside containing the liquid I reckon about 10-15 drops worth! So there I was out at the pub, no ecig so I asked a mate for a fag, lit up and took a few puffs, I nearly puked! From that night on I have not smoked another cigarette, I simply could not, ecigs have released me from tobacco and I could never go back. I used to smoke about 30 B&H a day, I was shitting myself smoking, it had killed both my parents and I did not want to go down that same route and e-cigs were the answer for me. So here I am 4 years on, still vaping and still enjoying it. I have been on some fabulous holidays, Thailand, Malaysia, New York that I would never have been able to afford if I had still been on the stinkies. I have a Provari, I have LOADS of tanks, atomisers, MODS & batteries not to mention litres of liquid but I definitely have saved money, there is NO WAY I have spent even a quarter of that £10,000 on ecigs. So all you beginners if you're thinking of giving E-Cigs a go, believe me if I can do it so can you. Not only will your pocket benefit your health will too.

Big congrats mate, it certainly gets scarey when you add up what you do or would have spent on stinkies! And it looks like you have put the extra dish to good use

Brilliant DiscoDes... I'm glad I jumped in when I did, just over a year ago, when the equipment had advanced. Not sure if I would have had the patience with the original kits... and would possibly have given up. Now, however, there is no excuse for anyone not to succeed.

Massive congratulations from me Des . . . and had it not been for vaping our paths would never have crossed and I'd have lost out on making a great friendship.

I have a Provari, I have LOADS of tanks, atomisers, MODS & batteries not to mention litres of liquid but I definitely have saved money, there is NO WAY I have spent even a quarter of that £10,000 on ecigs. So all you beginners if you're thinking of giving E-Cigs a go, believe me if I can do it so can you. Not only will your pocket benefit your health will too.
