. I convinced wifey (non smoker/vaper) that vaping would save us loads of cash but after scribbling on a bit of paper last night, I reckon I am massively out of pocket than if I stayed on the fags and I don't feel totally satisfied with the "kit" that I have got. This happens, unfortunately, perhaps because we mostly rely on mail order (and trial and error) to find kit and juices that suit us. I'm still 'in the red' and probably will be for the next three months (if I don't buy any more shinies) but now I've got the hardware and flavours that really work for me, I'll be saving money every day for the rest of my life (which will probably be longer than expected now I've chucked the fags). Short term, there's a not insignificant capital outlay. Long term, I'll win and win big. |

I've vaped in Edinburgh! I go there every time I need to take a flight because I'm more scared of being shot-stabbed in Glasgow We wouldn't shoot-stab you, unless you're trying to muscle in on our drugs trade. Or you're wearing the wrong team's colours in the wrong place. Or you're a terrorist. Or a Tory MP. |

Paradise Vape's Caramel Cappuccino is close to perfection for me, but if I want a pure coffee flavour, Decadent Vapours' Doppio Espresso hits the spot. The Doppio also works very nicely combined with tobacco flavours, without being swamped.

Tried them in a 50/50 mix to start and it was a bit strong  (I was in no hurry to try the Whisky on its own). 75% Cigar and 25% Whisky was lovely though. It's not exactly a 12 year old malt, more a 'house spirit' flavour, but it blends wonderfully with cigar and, like real whisky, the taste improves the more you have  |

They look like chrome to me? they are not chrome They're not chrome plated. Stainless steel is a steel and chrome alloy. |

Everything I've tried from Paradise Vape has been better than anything I've tried from anywhere else. I haven't tried their Mango Cigar, though (I like both those things, but in the same mouthful? ??? ). |

4 weeks without a cigarette, after smoking for two-thirds of my life. I still really want one, but I don't mind if I don't have one. ??? Big thanks to kibbutzangel  , who showed me how it's done, and to James at Paradise Vapes, who produced two juices I can vape all day Brilliant! What are the juices you are doing so well on? Black Honey Tobacco and Cigar. I'd tried roughly 20 different juices before I quit and quickly discovered that while I liked things like apple and vanilla, they didn't do the psychological job because they didn't taste like a cigarette. So I tried a a few tobacco flavours and none of them tasted like a cigarette either (even the one that was supposed to mimic my brand). But kibbutzangel had raved about everything she'd got from James at PV, so I figured I'd try a strong tobacco flavour, and the Black Honey pipe tobacco taste did the trick. I took a chance on 50mls of the PV Cigar because it was on special, and happily it does the same thing as the Black Honey - strong tobacco taste that actually tastes like its name. I think my brain just rebels when I try to give it nicotine in 'nice' flavours. |

I'll join in the James love: I've tried a great many juices in the past few weeks, from various suppliers (I've even mixed up a few myself), but the Black Honey Tobacco from PV is perfection. And if I ever need a change of flavour, PV's Rum Icecream with a little Coffee in it refreshes the palate wonderfully. The competitive prices and speedy delivery are the icing on the cake. I was able to cut down my smoking because of vaping, but I was able to give up because of James.

I find lemon quite cooling, though I'm not sure how it would sit with vanilla and cream.
