Ask your doc to send you for an xray. I had mild lung trouble many years ago and joint pains was one of the symptoms. I stress one of the symptoms so don't start thinking that's what you have. There's no harm, nevertheless, in getting an xray and breathing tests to find out what, if any, damage smoking has done to your lungs.

We have one of them, not the same brand but the same type of device.  Bought it a few years ago after we caught a mouse in the kitchen and haven't had any problems since.   

Karma:  A cheaper option to upgrading to the paperwhite might be to get the Kindle cover with light.  The covers aren't cheap but AFAIK you can play audio books on the basic kindle.  I saw the covers in PC world during the January sale but they were sold out when I went back to buy one.  Maybe you would be better waiting to upgrade when they incorporate speakers in the paperwhite some time in the future.

I prefer a dedicated e-reader. I have the Kindle touch but if I were buying one now I would get the Kindle paperwhite. My sister has the Paperwhite and it's excellent. The text is clearer and it has a built-in light. The only downside to the Paperwhite is that it doesn't have a speaker so you can't use it as an ipod or for audio books.

Welcome Rich. Like you, I was on 2/3 packs of Marlboro (Reds) and haven't smoked since I switched to vaping 4 months ago. All credit to the excellent advice I got from members of this forum who guided me to the setup that was right for me.

Get yourself a 1000 mah Ego Twist and a Mini Nova. The Twist is not much bigger than a fountain pen. Holding it in my hand, I can completely cover the battery with the Mini Nova being the only part visible to others. I don't think the mini nova will hold enough juice for a full day's vaping. You could have a small bottle of juice for refills or maybe carry a few cartomisers as back-up.

I don't buy from the classifieds or partake in the group buys because they are usually restricted to UK only. If I were buying it wouldn't occur to me to check a member's post count and until I read Mary's thread, I thought reviews were only for authorised vendors. When I read Mary's thread I looked for her negative review and it took me ages to find it. Maybe it would be helpful if there were a sticky in the classifieds section recommending that members check reviews and posting history before making payment. The sticky could include a link to the reviews.

Oops! Feel a bit stupid now cos just had a look and there's a buyer beware warning on Classifieds board and a Feedback sub-board. Next time I'll look twice before putting in my tuppence worth. Sorry Mods.

Thank, Bluefish, for letting me know.  In the few months I have been using ecigs I have only ever used Joyetech without a problem apart from one occasion when the battery and plug felt warm.  I unplugged them for a while and there was no recurrence.  I'm not so concerned for myself because I read the forum and take note of advice and warnings.  I'm more concerned about the people I recommend to switch from smoking.  I prefer to point them down the safest path to vaping because most people don't have the time or interest to read the forums or research on the internet.  Would it be best to get a good mod, top of the range charger, AW batteries and one of those bags suggested by Ash?  I've never heard of an RCD Safety adaptor (Genguskhan's post).  Maybe I should check it out.
