I think it would make sense to group the flavours by type:

• easier to compare different vendors' versions of similar flavours
  
• easier to find vendors of a desired flavour
  

I imagine that a two level hierarchy could also be useful, eg:

• Tobaccos
  
• Fruits
  
• Drinks (soft)
  
• Drinks (alcoholic)
  
• Desserts
  
• Savoury
  
• and so on...
  

...with for example fruits expanding to:

• Stawberry
  
• Peach
  
• Melon
  
• Apple
  
• Tomato
  
• Avocado
  
• and so on...
  

I see what you're saying and agree that it would be unwise to tip all non-nil-nic juice down the drain. I've had similar experiences when I've stopped smoking in the past - about 4 times for a total of 3 years or so - each time I cracked it was due to stressful circumstances. It would of course be far better to fall back onto nicotine juices rather than to start smoking again.

To my mind the decreasing in nicotine is just the next step along the path of harm reduction - albeit maybe a harder one than the step from smoking to vaping.

I'm surprised you didn't feel much of a difference between different strengths - makes me think I ought to try cutting down on nic content sooner!

May also ask my girlfriend to get her sphygmomanometer (full disclosure: I Googled the spelling) out and take my blood pressure over a few weeks to watch for changes.

Hi Matt,

I'm pretty new to all this too so probably not the most informed as to what kit you would be best starting out with. That said, I was given a Riva starter kit including a couple of batteries, some cartomisers and a clearomiser for my birthday a few weeks ago (thanks dad!) and have found it great - enough to get me off the cigs (last smoke 5 and a half days ago and counting).

Regarding flavours, a lot of vendors sell small 5ml bottles which aren't too pricey and will give you a chance to have a feel around for the sort of flavours you'll enjoy. I started off with a Pick 'n' Mix from VapeEscape (www.vapeescape.co.uk/search.asp?types=Grizwald%27s+Gourmet+Range+%3E+Pick+%27n%27+Mix), getting a range of different types of flavours, eg: tobacco, fruity, desserty, minty, etc. I'm sure I've seen similar packages elsewhere.

Admittedly, I found there's a bit of trial and error involved and have bought some juices that I probabaly won't ever finish but over the past couple of weeks I've definitely narrowed it down somewhat and feel much more confident about choosing juices. If you're on a budget and find you have a number of juices that you don't like you could always ask around and see if anyone is up for some swapping.

In the long term though, I'm sure that unless you spend too much time on the forums and get kit-envy, it's still a money saver.

Good luck with your first steps into vaping - hope you enjoy it as much as I and many other people here do!

Edit: typo, and crikey - left my pc for a bit while answering and there's a page full of responses!

Frogster, if it's a better way of sharing that you're after a quick & easy way to do so is to upload your PDF to Google Docs then share the URL. If you have a Google account that is...

Thanks Perp - sounds straightforward enough!

As for you Frogster, I lack the words to express what I'm feeling for you right now... :-)
