Honestly and truly, the best thing you can do is take the plunge Buy a kit and some juice (flavoured nicotine liquid for refilling), then you will be able to relate to the jargon.

Whatever you buy will eventually need replacing, then you'll be more experienced and know how you want to progress - bigger, smaller, "battery-holder mod", whatever.

If you buy TWO of these you will have everything you need to get started and keep going, and if you decide you want to stick with it you can buy different flavoured juices and a better filler for the cartridges... but I won't go into that now, because I firmly believe in just getting started > (that's my vehement determined look ).

Thanks soooo soooo much to everyone for the warm welcome. I've just ordered two of the above for a bargain price. Can't wait to get started now.

Special thanks to the kindly soul who painstakingly explained exactly how one of these contraptions worked (sorry but I forgot your name and can't work out how to go back).

ETA; think I've worked it out now. Ali- you are a diamond. x

I promise to report back once my goodies have arrived and I've given them a whirl.

Looks like a nice e-cig at a great price Elli, i was about to say it only comes with one battery, but then noticed you have ordered two kits

Hope it's with you soon and you can start your vaping journey

yeah, the one bit of advice that I have managed to take in is that to have a spare battery so that one is always charged.

Just been to the shop and hopefully, fingers well and truly crossed, have bought my last pack of baccy...here's hoping.

[bel]

I will keep my fingers crossed for you Ellie, but don't put to much pressure on yourself. It took me about a month before i gave up the nasties when i started vaping. Some people dont have another nastie as soon as they start vaping, we are all different so just see how you go

[Chrissie]

Finger & paws crossed for you here as well Ellie But as Bel says, don't put too much pressure on
yourself.

[elliebobs]

Don't worry, no pressure on me; I'll just keep trying until it clicks and won't beat myself up if I have the odd sneaky rollie.

Am very much liking the cats in the avatar things. My Holly is currently trying her hardest to persuade me that she is in a poor starving feline that has never ever been fed in her entire life despite a pouch of whiskas not one hour ago.

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Do you have any photos of her Ellie?

[Chrissie]

Ditto what Anne has asked We have a pet photo thread -

And if you want any help adding an avatar, signature, posting pics etc have a look at this thread -

If you are still confuddled, start a thread asking for further help posting pics etc in the Help & Site feedback board -

You can even practise as much as you like in the Sandbox -

ok; my parcel arrived today (excellant service by TECC btw). i got the mini e cig as detailed above and although it's great, the battery life is pants so I've already upgraded!

I've now gone for the Riva from a recommendation that I mentioned in my OP; it's another starter kit but has two long lasting batteries. I'll keep the mini for weekends when I'm home so can charge it up at my leisure.

So far so good though; and it's far easier than I thought it would be.

Also just ordered some more juice; the Strawberry menthol sounds lovely and can't wait to try it out.

Thanks again to all that gave their time in advising and welcoming me.

[bel]

Brilliant, im glad you found it easy and at least now you know why we keep going on about battery life. Nothing worse when your puffing away and the battery keeps going every hour or so.

Hope the riva is with you soon, anything to keep you away from the nasties is well worth the money
