Thank you. I should be ok if I can get my flavours sorted out. I wasn't expecting Vapers tongue and thought I could get away with only a couple of flavours to start with.
Just about to order some Red Astaire, so are t-juice know for stronger flavour liquids?

I think it was the strawberry that was making me think of lowering nic levels as I was vaping more with it trying to get the strawberry taste. A bit like trying to get my strawberry kick as much as my nic kick

Thanks for the info. I'd love to try something with more punch and will try the Red Astaire. Strawberry seemed a popular choice and one that I thought would suit me. I blamed the lack of taste on my taste buds after smoking for so long. I liked what taste was there, but found myself vaping more regular or for longer hoping to get more of it, Custard is another one that seems popular that I'm yet to try, I'm up for any fruity, or tobacco, recommendations to try but will probably need to stick with 18mg for the time being. I'm not too keen on menthol, as I could never smoke menthol cigarettes. Ive also tried grape but wasn't keen. It may have been the brand What a great forum this is

you sure you put a 1.8 ohm coil in it they come with 1.5 ohm coils so they would give a little more kick it might also be vapers tongue ie you have gotten use to the flavour so dont taste it as much any more dont worry its easy to fix just vape diff juice for a bit also the particles in vapour are much lager than that from ciggy smoke so it seems a lot harsher till you get used to it you may have just got past the bedding in bit as it were failing all that you need bigger better kit narr im joking avoid shinyitus at all costs lol just guessing but some of the more common reasons hope it helps Thanks for relying . I've just checked and the Zelos did come with 1.8 ohm coil and a 0.7, and I bought some spare 1.8's. ( had to check for thinking I'd bought the wrong ones lol). I did load up with a different flavour before reading your reply and it has made a difference. Unfortunately it's a flavour I'm not too keen on that was recommended to me in a store. But it's cured the urge of a cigarette. I did read about somebody getting kind of bored of a flavour, so hence I had tobacco in one and strawberry in the other, but from what you have said, it seems I need a bit more variety. I don't think I'll have a problem with shinyitus, but think it may be a good idea to buy a couple of spare tanks for alternating flavours. I bought the t18 to get me going, and then also to be a backup for when I bought the Zelos. The zelos allows me to mess with different settings. But both bought after EE reading reviews. The only thing that concerns me about both models is reading batteries may only last 3-6 months. I didn't find vaping harsher than smoking, or is this vapers tongue telling me otherwise? I best go and dig that old coil out, being as if any have still some life left in it lol

Hi guys and gals. I'm now into my second week of vaping, I don't know if it's just my taste buds playing up, but not getting much in the way of flavour or kick from my vaping the last couple of days with the liquids I've been using. I've got BNH tabacco in the Zelos and a strawberry in the T18. I know my taste buds aren't brilliant at the best of times after years of smoking, but BNH that I've been vaping has been ok at 14w. I changed the coil for the first time yesterday thinking that may be the problem, but it hasn't really made much difference. I don't feel I've had the same kick out of the strawberry either, yet I was only thinking earlier in the week that I may try dropping from 18 to 12 mg in my juice.
I've played with different watts on the zelos from 10 to 14 with the 1.8 coil, but not so satisfied as I was. I'd be grateful for any suggestions

Well done Richard. I've been vaping a little over a week now, and never thought I'd see the day when I didn't crave a cigarette. I wish I had turned to vaping earlier.

Hi Alex I've just switched to vaping. I was a heavy smoker but cut down quite a bit, only smoking in breaks at work, but felt I had to cut them out all together. I would chain a couple quite often to give me my nicotine fix.
I had tried giving up a number of times but failed every time, although the smoking ban in pubs helped a little. I've been vaping a week now, after having no confidence with it.
I've ended up buying 2 kits so I had one as a backup, as I didn't want to be in a situation where I felt I would need to buy a pack of cigarettes. But so far so good, I haven't craved for a cigarette
I also bought spare coils, and if I've made any mistakes in my purchases, it was buying 3 or 4 bottles of tobacco flavoured liquids also in same 18mg. I didn't expect to get the same fix from fruit flavours but the strawberry I've loaded up with at the moment is actually quite pleasant. I'm even keen to drop to a 12mg now, but before I spend any more I'll use up what I've got.

Thanks for this info. It's the car charging that is bothering me the most. Besides spending quite a bit of my free time in the outdoors, I also have a motorhome, so charging off a cigarette lighter socket is important to me
The instructions that came with the T18e that I have states not to charge in a car, but I have seen 5v 1amp USB plugs that will plug into the cigarette and attach to the T18e's USB lead. I understand not to leave it on charge unattended, that isn't a problem.
I'm doing a bit better now that I'm taking a bit more time, as advised earlier in this thread, but won't describe myself as confident yet.

Thank you all
Day-3. I'm a bit more confident vaping can replace smoking in my life. And I can't believe I've ordered some fruit juices to try out.
I'm yet to experience being in a situation of having to change a coil. If a coil lasts a week then i've just ordered 4 months worth.
I've also come across some boxes with removeable batteries similar to AA batteries, and chargers too, but I need to find out if I can charge from a cigarette lighter socket whilst travelling.

Thank you for the replies and the warm welcome. From what I've picked up a pack of 5 coils and 3 bottles of liquids for the T18e should get me to the end of the month, so need to get a box sorted soon, and keep the T18e for a backup. I think I also need to find out why they say not to charge in a car, other than for the heat in a car on a sunny day, so I can work around those issues. Oh well, off shopping I go

Hi Guys and Gals I'm a complete novice to vaping, having been a smoker for most of my life, and have bought a Endura T18e to get me going, with a 5 pack of coils and a couple of bottles of Vaperlites 18mg/m tobacco flavoured liquids. I say to get me by as I will purchase a mod kit when I can sort out what's suitable for my needs. I'm now on Day 2. Day 1 I was scared of the thing, drawing before I'd hit the button, and hearing a crackles was unexpected, although seemed blatantly logical afterwards when thinking of heating liquids. I probably had 3 or 4 draws on it before putting switching it off, and then felt like I hadn;t had the the dosage I needed. Day 2 improved. I started to hit the button more often before I draw, and continued for a longer period before switching off, and feel some improvement, but don't think I've cracked it yet I think a lot of my smoking is habitual, and am trying not to use vaping any more frequently. I'd smoke a couple of cigarettes going to work, at lunch time, on the way home, and a couple in the evening, but think I could do with a liquid with a bit more taste. I think I'd be quite happy to try another flavour, and wonder if there's a flavour that is common amongst other vapers, and widely available. AT the moment after vapin g I feel I've had half a nicotine kick, but the taste in the mouth seems to be missing. Whilst looking at the mods, there's bits that worry me at the moment about vaping that I'd need to take into consideration, ie running out of battery, coils or liquids. As if I'm away for a weekend, or forget to have spare coils, batteries, fluids, I would need to be able to obtain some from somewhere, so I can chill, and not end up feeling like I'm going to self harm or harm somebody else I know when a packet of fags are going to run out, and where I can get them from if I need more, or what alternative to buy if they don't stock what was my prefered brand. Vaping seems a bit of a mine field in comparison. I want a Apire Zelos with Nautlius 2, but only because I had to read the forum whilst Admin to approve my account, instead of just being able to get on here and ask the questions. What I think I need is a box with a battery that I can replace with a spare when required. A charger, and car charger, as I will not always have a mains supply. A box that uses coils that are readily available, not just online, as I havent a clue what the likes of the major supermarkets, fuel statiions etc stock. I may be after something that's not out there, and for someone to say "Try Lambert and Butler" In time I hope I can start decrease nicotine levels, but if I can aim at getting off cigarettes first, that will be excellent, so hoping you all can point me in the right direction
