Good news overall to log on to Debbie!

You could add a little Vegetable Glycerine to your juice that you're finding too high a strength, small bottles are available in the baking aisles of most large supermarkets. That will also give you more vapour and decrease the throat hit, although that will dilute your flavour a little as well.

Try taking a few ' chugs ' on your ecig, holding the vapour in your mouth for a few seconds before inhaling/exhaling. That will also soften the hit on your throat.

After reading so much info on here over the last few days I was thinking about buying some VG....but as its a mild taste was worried the soft mint would end up being a tasteless vape.......hubby really wants stronger mint/menthol......so I thought a mix of the very strong mint then some VG into this soft mint might work.....but we are also very aware that the tastes could change, either steeping or our taste buds could change any of the flavours...
So far so good, not had a real stinkie, just vaped my way through the urges....its nearly dinner time now....I think that urge might kick in real bad very soon but have saved my chest from at least 5/7 stinking already....I also put the ashtrays elsewhere, put my tin etc out of sight and arms length.
Cannot wait till tonight when hubby is home....really want to order some more juices, I have a yearning for Butterscotch....anyone know where is best to find it?  I would love a real strong flavor...this diet is killing me some days....

That is the best way to think about it. The ones you have not had rather than the ones you do.

Have you looked at vapology www.vapology.co.uk/tailor-made-e-liquid-2252-p.asp you can tailor make the liquid to how you want it and you can have extra flavour and double flavour. Great prices and i still get juices from him now even though i now mix my own.
Alchemist cupboard www.thealchemistscupboard.co.uk has some incredible liquids as well.

You could get some Mint or Menthol Crystals to balance the loss of flavour out Debbie . . . but I'm wary of giving you too much info to digest at once. Not because you couldn't cope with it as you're doing so brilliantly, but a little at a time can be the best way to get to grips with everything, if you're anything like me that this.

The most yummy Butterscotch eliquid I've ever tried, is from Kev at Freedom Vape . . . he's based in Spain now, but ships really quickly. The small wait is more than worth it as it's creamy, buttery deliciousness in a bottle.

I can feel an order coming on, Butterscotch is something I kinda crave here and there ....so vaping it may be the key to the diet AND the smoking 
I feel like I have taken a huge leap into this....reading up all the time about things that should not concern me right now....ie...how to mix your own, I really liked the Soft Mint....I think I will order another one but less nic strength for now, till I get to grips with it all....I can see me doing this    very soon.

Ok off over to have a look at the various links you have provided...thank you

debbie, if you like the Joose-juice's you have bought but want extra flavour, you could order some 10mls of their flavour concentrate - you would only need to a dd a few drops -

Thank you all...well I have had 6 stinkies today....I will say make that 7 by the time I go to bed.......jesus...I could have that for breakfast, it kicks more after having something to eat, then my friend rang me and I really did struggle, habit I have...so far I have used the Apple for most of the day, then went onto the Strawberries and Cream as Hollyoaks started up till after Eastenders....added a small amount of the Soft Mint to it and vaping that right now.
Went on The Alchemists Cupboard and made an order, all 18mg, Egg Custard, Turkish Delight, Pear Drop, Little Violet Sweeties and Blackcurrant and Liquorice after reading the reviews on those flavours. Tomorrow hubby is going to someone he knows and getting double apple, strong mint and cherry I think...Weird how you never knew other people who were either vaping themselves or selling the gear until you start yourself...
The next order will be from FreedomVape....butterscotch and hot cross bun for me....
Now I am looking/reading about the tank cracker liquids, also reading up on the tanks that dont crack.....ohhh this is all exciting isnt it......bank balance is taking a battering tho icon_shoppingm

You're doing brilliantly Debbie . . . bit by bit as vaping becomes more enjoyable to you, you'll be replacing those ' habit cigs ' before you know it with a nice vape.

If you'd like a good clearomiser with a glass tank, perfect for any potential crackers, then the Davide is excellent. The coil heads are compatible with the Evod ones as well:

You're doing really well Debbie. Just a suggestion, but when you find a flavour you totally love you could always get one bottle of 24mg and have that in a device that you use for first thing in the morning, after a meal or when you're on the phone. You might find it gives you that extra hit you need at those times, just for the first week or so. I have an SD keyring and I find the pre-filled cartos in that give me a slightly stronger hit than my other e-cigs, so I use that when I have a beer LOL.

It's amazing how quickly you will get used to the habit of getting your nic intake from the vape instead of the stinkies. Honestly, after a few days your tastebuds really do start to change and the stinkies taste, well, just WRONG. I can't think of anything that would send me back to the stinkies now. It would definitely be a downgrade from what I've got now

[chuck]

Well done Debbie, your doing brilliantly. I'm sure if you keep on doing what your doing it'll all fall into place

My only issue is that I do not want a glass tank, trust me I would break it within the first few days, I really am that clumsy, already dropped this one 5 times since yesterday morning, they are just so heavy at the side of a rollie...so am looking at other tanks that claim to be tougher to crack...

So daughter came in from the pub last night.....it all ended in my final figure of 9 stinkies, more than I wanted but I did not deprave my self...I had a limit in my head of 15.
So far still 0 today....after eating it really does bite at me, arrggggg.

After reading up on nic levels, even on 18 it is higher than my tobacco...that is 16mg, so I really think having such a high one like 24mg wont be the way forward.
18 is the one I am sticking to....for now.....Hubby has only had 1 stinkie last night, he has done really well.....
Let us see what today brings

You'll get used to the weight though Debbie . . . the tendency to drop stuff I can't advise on however.

Rom has spotted these:

Don't forget as well that your body will absorb the nicotine differently as to how it does with tobacco, so you may find yourself vaping more to feel the same ' satisfaction ' . . . but 18mg is a good strength for many of us.

Congrats to your hubby and good luck for today.
