Well Hubby gave in and we brought the EVOD starter kit yesterday...it arrived this morning and we love it!

Any tips on getting the best from it inhaling wise? Had a right old choking fit with my first puff haha!

It's been a long time, but I suspect an adjustment of inhaling style is the answer.

Really good kit, it's what I started with and still use every day. What e-liquid are you using? This is just as important as you getting the right kit.

My tips would be: Rinse the new evods (not the batteries).After filling your evod (new, clean and after coil change) always leave to stand for about 15 mins. Don't inhale the first couple of tokes on a new evod just hold in mouth and blow out. Once the new wick and coil are fully saturated it will give a much smoother vape. Keep going, you may need to vape more often than you smoked. You may not give up ciggerettes straight away, I didn't for the first two weeks of vaping. Then found I just hadn't smoked for a day or two.

The inhales needs to be gentler than a smoking. It will soon become second nature.

Don't stint on nicotene. I smoked 7-10 rollies a day, moved onto 18mg liquid strength but find 20-22mg e-liquid great for a quicker hit.

I'm a menthol girl so I went for 18mg menthol juice as advised earlier. It's perfect for me, tastes just like my usual ciggies but without the nasties. We never smoked indoors as we have kids so it's quite nice to have a little puff in the evenings without going outside.

I am searching for some kind of case for it at the mo as I cycle the kids to school before getting the bus to work so I usually throw everything in a rucksack and don't fancy doing that with my precious new toy!

I bought a cheap sun glasses hard case, filled itwith kitchen roll paper. I bought this from off ebay for £2. I use it over and above the ego e-cig case purchased from fasttech.

The draw/inhale technique is definitely new and different from smoking, and I daresay ALL of us got it spectacularly wrong when we first switched... deffo need to get used to vaping rather than smoking, slow draw, roll the vapour round your mouth, then a slow inhale is the best way to begin, and bear in mind you will need to drink more fluids (at least for a while) as the vapour will tend to dry you out a little.... perfect excuse for more coffee
