Newbie - Big Hello

[HeadHunter]

Hi, thanks for the warm welcome from Skylar and Chrissie. I just thought that I would post on here (as suggested lol) and give a very brief smoking/Vape history.
I was a 30 a day smoker for about 33yrs, smoked roll ups for virtually all of that time (Samson + Liqourice papers). First saw E-ciggies at the Tabac counter at Tescos and was very interested, decided to give them a try, and as they say the rest is history, lol.
Started with the 10motives disposable, which they claim is the equivilent of 30 cigs ! shame the bloody battery only lasts for 10 of them, lol. But it made me realise that it was a really good idea albeit a very poor product, so I sourced another E-Ciggie ; The VIP E-Cig (from VIP.com), this is a standard 2pc version that works remarkably well, loved the cartomiser taste straight away but felt they lacked the higher NIC mg level that I obviously needed ! So I went down the refill route and was very, very happy when i got some V.high NIC malboro E-liquid from V-Cig.com (David is a very helpful guy, advice etc). I found no problems refilling the carts, the internet is such a great source of info on such things and since then the VIP has become my main day to day vapour intake.
After a couple of days I started to panic about the fact that the battery might die on me, especially after realising that I would have no alternative than to go back to those damn cancer sticks if that did happen, so a quick email to David at V-Cig about the 2pc units that he sells and he phoned me back, after a little chat he recommended the 510-T system that he sells (for the same price as the 2pc model), I researched the 510-T online and was impressed with the reviews that it had got, so I ordered it and now that it is my 'Evening' Vape stick. Very impressed with the 510-T, got 2 complete units in one go ! No more nightmares about the battery failing and being left stranded.
I should explain that the reason I use the VIP E-Ciggie during the day is that it gives a very good amount of vapour, a nice throat hit and looks incredibly like a real fag (even glows red at the end), it has helped me kick the cancer stick habit straight away, not one single coffin nail since then. It feels like a real fag too, good quality feel and never ever gets noticed in public as being anything other than a fag and as I do not have to worry about smoking bans its a good choice.
I joined the forum properly as I used the reviews and comments for research on UK E-Cigs and decided to be part of the Community, hopefully I can help others who are in the same position as I was in to make more informed choices on what is available to the would be ex-smoker and future Vape stick user.
I have been cigarette free since 21/9/2011 and I am looking forward to better health and richer pockets in the future.

Hi headhunter, welcome

the strictly x celebrities factor team or the ones with better taste team
*gordy runs to hide*

[nicky]

Well the ones you mentioned are actually one team, it's all girls and it's very exclusive, you do have to pass certain criteria to be in it

Yes, like you need to be tone deaf and have no appreciation of music or sport.

[Chrissie]

Lol, a proper hello & welcome to you Headhunter

I really do apologise for my slightly (?) rude post to you in the classified section. In the past, we have had a some new members just grab things up for offer without saying hello & never posting again. I really am sorry I misjudged you - hope you forgive me?

Congratulations on being cigarette free so quickly
