Good on ya Smokeybebe. Go for the higher nic juice until you lose the craving. My mistake was cutting the nic levels too much too soon. Anything is better than the stinkies. They don't even taste as good as decent juice. I had forgotten the horrible stench they leave in the air, on your clothes and on soft furnishings. Yuk.

I think that Womble and the ECCA have their work cut out for them. Listening to a radio phone-in today here in Ireland, I get the feeling that the regulations will favour the cigalike companies to the detriment of us vapers. I didn't hear all the programme, but most of the people phoning in were vapers with positive stories about quitting the stinkies. The programme host had never heard the term "vaping". The most consistent complaints from the ban/regulate brigade were the lack of testing of the contents and the likely appeal to children of sweet flavoured and brightly coloured ecigs. Here in Ireland, the chemists decided not to sell ecigs, so the cigalikes are sold in shops where they are displayed close to the cash register alongside sweets. Some shops seem to be getting as much as a 50% mark-up. The cigalike companies appear to be stressing that they only sell flavours that wouldn't appeal to children and I heard mention that their ingredients are more reliable because they are made in the UK. I'm really worried that the regulations will prohibit the sale of bottles of liquid and we'll have to buy packs of pre-filled cartridges that claim to be the equivalent of 20 smokes per cartridge.

Womble: I wish you luck trying to get the message out in the face of all the vested interests and public fear and suspicion about ecigs.

Good to know. Thanks Karma.

Looks nice Ballsy. What's a Boaby? It looks like a Vivi Nova? I only use Vivi Novas or Mini Novas.

Are they variable voltage?

Since I got the Provari, I don't like the feel of my Ego Twist any more so I'm thinking of getting a cheap - very cheap - mod as back-up. The UTD-510 looks like it might fit the bill but I've never heard of it so I'd welcome opinions, please. Here's the link: www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/udtl.htm

ECF was my first forum and I still look in there on occasions although I don't post.

I joined AAEC because I couldn't find clear info on ECF about what was the best set up for me to start with and I felt too nervous to ask questions. I was very lucky that my Google search led me here because the step by step instructions I got from the members made my transition to vaping very easy. I stayed here because I feel comfortable. Being older, I hate forums where show-offs put others down or can't express themselves without using foul language. At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, I like it that people here have manners.

I joined the Caravela forum recently because I thought I might like to buy one of their mods but found it very confusing and wouldn't have a clue how to log in there again. I joined UKV and didn't see anything wrong with it but don't post there and can't even remember my username.
