I thought....

.... with it being the New Year we would be inundated with new members  ???


Perhaps later in the month when the patches fall off?  Or when the wee kit bought for their Christmas starts to go wrong?

If this is you, come on in, don't be shy

" the best " is always saved to last Karma....they will all find us in the end

LOL Well Karma, 47 noobs since the first & 20 have posted, so it looks like quite a few are having a good read before jumping in.

I thought the same! I chatted to a lovely girl in the post office yesterday when I was sending my poorly vamo to Raid. She asked me what was in the parcel and when I explained, wanted to know all about ecigs With a long queue it wasn't the bast time so I wrote down the name of the forum (couldn't even remember the web address properly - doh) and urged her to come join us Here's hoping

lol !

E-cigs' stores and gyms probably make the most of their business in January

it's good that they are having a good read before jumping in... unfortunately many of them will get so confused that they won't know where to start anyway xD

GUYS, we are here, don't be afraid to ask for HELP! We are glad to help and have been through it too (and still have some doubts too )

I wonder if some of the inaccurate and bad press in the media over the last few months has put people off trying it.

Wouldn't surprise me 

I've had people saying to me


'they say they are dangerous'

'who are they?'

'I read it somewhere'

'what evidence did they have?'

'I don't know, but I did read it!'

[chykensa]

I must admit I log on each evening expecting to see loads of newbie posts, and although we have had 47 new members, I am surprised there haven't been more.

Oi, you, over there, lurking in the shadows . . . come on out, we really are friendly and want to help you spend your money and give you the best advice we can!!!

Had the same here, Envela, a young friend, was saying it was so dangerous, as she'd read it online. Her smoker mum soon shut her up on my behalf. Then Marie-Christine (mum) & I went off to the veranda, so she could have a cig. Envela then told me off for going with a smoker, when I wasn't smoking. ???

you couldn't make it up 

[Blownupdolly]

When I was waiting to have my wheelchair hoist fitted in my car, the bloke who owned the garage asked what my SID and protank were. I swear i nearly whacked him in frustration as it didn't matter how many times I explained it was not dangerous or smoking, he just wouldn't accept it!! Kept telling me I should give it up. It's still dangerous. I gave up in the end... Stupid arse!

Nope, you sure couldn't, Karma. A while back, a 60+yr old (never smoked) was telling me how dangerous they were & that I was mad. When I questioned her about what & where she'd got her info from.....the Daily ruddy Mail!

has a lot to answer for 

[Pepperty]

yep, got the same today when I visited father-in-law in care home, the nurse did a lemon suck and said she'd rather stick to her nicotine patches because 'God Knows whats inside e-liquid' <<so I told her exactly as I make my own!>> but then I'd also be bloody ratty and irritable if all I had to ween me off fags was those lousy patches so I forgave her snippiness

Honestly! given the choice between the known carcinogenics in cigarettes and ..well = anything else I'd take my chances? I'd risk licking out toilet bowls with my tongue daily to be smoke free some of the early e-liquids I tried were that bad.
