Gawd if that was me she wouldn't have had time to tell me how yummy it was before being unceremoniously hoofed out of my bedroom and told to bloody stay out of there and away from my stuff!! Nicotine is too bloody dangerous to be casual about in any way with kids. I am going to have to drum that into my niece and nephews when I visit in April because they will be very curious about it all and my niece in particular has a habit of rummaging in my case and last year badly burnt herself on my hair straighteners after being warned to keep away from them!

When I am at home I chain vape that's why I have so many flavours on the go at once

every twist, tweak and turn gives you a different vaping experience, and sometimes (for me, anyway) it's this that throws me a bit off track. I don't think my subconscious understands why, when I vape, there's no guarantee that the next mouthful will taste the same as the last, let alone the next refill. I keep my brain in a total state of confusion then (my other half might agree ) I change flavours all the time, I mean from one puff to another. On the go at the moment I have...mini nova with bananas and cream, nova with menthol, kanger with liquorice and tobacco, CE5 with arctic lemon and Vision Ego rebuildable with blueberry For you it's consistency you are after, for me it is keeping the taste buds from stagnating. It's probably a lot to do with a very confused subconscious. Clearly, my own subconscious is so confused that I appear to have agreed quite a lot with what PamO said, even whilst saying I disagreed. I think I need a lie down. And some new clearos. Awwwww bless....go and have a lie down in a dark room for a while Pam

Storm I can almost hear you say "In my day" LOL I have joined the vaping thing pretty early into the development of clearos but thankfully haven't had to do the carto thing, and in the very short time I have been vaping new and improved clearos are appearing all the time, in a year or two goodness knows what will be available I've had my fair share of newby frustrations, all my clearos sit on kitchen roll as they all decide to experience episodes of incontinence now and then but on the other hand my original stardust clearo is STILL going strong. Smoking was never so great and fantastic and sweet tasting and smelling that I would consider going back because of technical issues, or boredom or lack of vapable flavours and I have experienced all of those Pam

Just some recent thoughts and ramblings and not aimed at anyone in particular...............
Is it because we want and expect a lot from our vaping that we never expected from our smoking? When we started smoking we coughed and choked for a long time before our throats and lungs gave up trying to protect us but we persevered. Baccy smokers will have spent time picking out twig like bits from our tobacco that were unsmokable, rolling in the rain or with wet hands was impossible, we have all bought lighters that went ping within hours of getting them, papers that have got slightly damp and the whole packet had welded itself together or papers with bad adhesive that gave way and landed a load of baccy complete with lit ends in our laps. Uncomplaining we put up with all of this inconvenience and replaced the bits and puffed away on leaves that always tasted the same, producing stinking smoke, turning our fingers, teeth and paintwork brown.
Now we have something completely new and, if controlled, cheaper and a whole lot healthier and we seem to expect to be able to seamlessly convert with no hiccups, no period of getting used to the new delivery method which due to our damaged throats and cough reflex is a whole lot easier this time round. The equipment which is usually cheaper than a pack of fags, is expected to perform faultlessly 100% of the time even though we take it apart and wash it and refill it multiple times. We seem to be searching for vaping utopia that I would wager 99% of us didn't experience when smoking..................do we want and expect too much???

Glad you are all toastie now Ewol. Our boiler went bang last year and at the time we couldn't afford the 2.5k to replace it and the flue etc so we went through temps of minus 10 with no heating in the house. It was hell getting out of bed every morning Even our dehumidifier on the landing refused to work as it was so cold in the house that the ice alarm had come on Got a shiny new boiler now and trying to get the money together to get some oil for it now £400 in one hit for 500 litres is not easy to do.

Two and a half months in and getting worse Have you been to see your Dentist? I haven't been for a while but the last two times I went all they said was stop smoking > Because I have exposed tooth roots anything touching my teeth or cold liquid like the water they use while cleaning causes so much pain they might as well be drilling into my teeth with no anaesthetic. Every visit is a torture session

I have had pretty bad gum disease for several years despite daily flossing three times a day brushing and oraldene mouthwash after every drink and meal during the day, it has got significantly worse since taking up vaping I thought the initial worsening of inflammation was due to the blood supply returning and was hoping that once that calmed down I would see an improvement in the affected teeth/gums. What has happened is that the gums are starting to shrink back from all of my teeth now and the original ones are so bad the roots are exposed to the point where they enter the jaw bone and they are seriously loose!! :-[ (apologies to anyone eating supper) I need to visit my dentist really, though all they have done in the past is tell me to stop smoking! Getting a bit depressed about it all to be honest.

They stink, smell bad, have an unpleasant odour. I don't think I have ever encountered anyone who thought that the smell of tobacco on someones clothes or breath was pleasant.
The health risks of passive smoking have been made so much of in recent years that non-smokers feel that they have the right to challenge anyone polluting the air they breathe with carcinogenic substances and it is not a battle smokers are ever going to win. If the peer pressure you speak of is smokers feeling got at by anti smokers then it's only going to get worse, as stupidly PC as the UK has got over the past few years smokers will never be able to pull the discrimination card.

Well done esme!! Must be a nice thing to vape your own creations. I am reading about DIY mixing and am sure I will eventually get the courage up to give it a go

You might be able to make them pop if you turn your twist right up, I agree though that the 1.8 heads are a bit lively

If one battery a week died I would still be able to vape for 2 months
