The sample pack or pic n mix are an excellent option and more people are doing them now, its a good way to try and find the flavours you like without over-spending.

South Woodford just down the road. That is close. So have we got any brick and mortar shops down our end of the Central Line that cater to vapers, as far as you know? not that I know of mate, i was actually thinking it would be good to get a vaping shop or even an online shop down our end of London but I have only been at it for just over a month, I am sure someone on here might be able to point us in the right direction if one exists. also if it helps i invested in this www.vapeescape.co.uk/search.asp?types=Deluxe+Vaping+Kits+%3E+Vape+Escape+Vision+900 after buying a Skycig and realising it was pony, got the above got some random juices and of i went, have cut down to between 5-7 a day and yesterday was just 3 so it's defo working, i use mainly 18-20 mg juice and I only smoked silk sluts

My two pence worth - I would agree with Dream and say don't worry what people think....but of course there's the possibility of it getting nicked.....That's not such a problem for me, as I don't go out often, and in Cardiff you're more likely to be annoyed by drunken people in the streets lurching over and saying, 'Wassat, butt?' and then having a go on your lovely Riva and getting their kebab spit all over your mouth piece.
I went out to a pub in Pontypridd last week. I vaped the whole time I was in there. This was before I had my lovely Riva. I had a V2 (is that a super mini?). I was in the pub for a few good hours, and, as is the tendency when drinking, I was chain-vaping. And my batteries were running out fast and it was like the doomful ticking of a clock, and to add to this, two of my friends fell in love with some of my flavours and were nicking little vapes off me...normally, I would love this and encourage this, but the batteries were getting lower and lower (I had two). I even went up to the bar and asked if they had a PC or a laptop I could charge it up on, but this was Treforest.....
So i would take THIS into account when buying your ecig. You may only be a 10 a day smoker, and when you get your PV, you may only be a moderate vaper, but when you start getting those pints down you, I imagine this will change.
So my advice is: man up, buy a Riva with a decent battery (the Riva 1100 from vape escape is fab, recommended to me by Chrissie - thanks again) and maybe add some scratches and bird poo to your battery so it looks worthless. Maybe even buy a pink one so that repressed masculine type thieves will be discouraged.
Failing that, get yourself a super mini and buy extra batteries and a PPC, or whatever you call it.
And welcome!

Hi again all! Thanks very much to everyone for the kind welcomes and advice. Lots to consider here. Some thoughts on some of the stuff that looks particularly interesting: The Skycig kit does indeed look decent value for £11.99, but the quit32 code's expired as of Jun 30th. Unless there's a new code, paying £49.99 for it doesn't seem like much of a plan. As other starter kits go, the VapourHut Starter Kit and the TECC Microlite Cartomiser Kit from Totally Wicked both look more reasonable. The VH one is giving me 10 cartomisers; but the TECC one is giving me a portable charging case, and I can see that coming in useful. The 510 Mini Tank Starter Kit does look nice, but am I getting all that much more for my money than I'd get for the (cheaper) Rechargeable E-Cig (510) from VapeEscape or the Safercigs Intro Vapour? I'll think on this, and of course any more thoughts and suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks! I think the code now is "SUN" for the skycig kit

So! Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I'm still open to ideas, but my current thinking is that I should go for something like this: vapourhut.com/e-cigarette%20kit/vh-starterThat gives me plenty of prefilled cartomisers, so I shouldn't run out before I figure out what I'm doing. But perhaps I should also look around for a sample pack of other flavours, and a PCC so I can recharge my batteries while I'm on the go. Does that sound about right? This ones not bad at 280mah...the skycig is only 100mah. Do you know the length of the cig as I couldn't see measurements in the description?

It's been years since I left there, Yes I think it's suppose to be getting posh in some areas, especially Shoreditch, god has that place changed!!!!! But, as for SAFE, I don't think so, still alot going on underground...I believe it's mad down there, love it but, wouldn't want to go back there.
