Oh blimey how quick it happens. I have only been vaping now for 6 days but already things have changed. My sons friends smoke (even though he doesnt- which I am so so thankful for) and in the past I have let them smoke in the house. They used to go outside and make the dogs bark and it was getting cold so I said they could. Well one of his smoking friends has just left and OMG the smell...... :-[ The whole house stinks with the smell of cigarettes and it is giving me a migraine type headache. It is truely horrid. I know feel terrible that I have subjected my son to this yuk for years. So I have just declared this house a non smoking zone. There will be none of that horrid stinky stuff being exhaled in my home again. And no more horrid headaches from the smell.
I am actually really pleased with this because I think I OD'ed on a few sweet flavour juices today and was wondering if I should just buy a pack of ten. But no instead I have filled up some menthol cartos and and back with iron will determination that I am not a smoker.
I promise I will never be one oft hose anti smoking fascits and would never ever ever dream of telling a smoker that I dont like how they smell but blimey in 6 days without a craving I cant bear the smoke.

Awww thank you :0)
I do feel a bit like the converted. I sat my mum down and explained everything, and I do mean everything, I know about e-cigs today. She gave up after a cold a few months ago without even a flicker but I have tried and tried and tried to [ack in smoking loads of times. Her eyes glazed over but like a good mum she let me waffle on. I feel like I have joined a cult. DO we get a robe?

Ha ha ha
Whoa.... a rush on the lime? Hmm now I think on its not really that nice, no not at all. I doubt anyone would like it. I will of course keep buying it but only to save everyone else having to put up with it. I am such a thoughtful person I know.
It is working? Lol
But really it is yummy. Cant think for the life of me what I was doing smoking foul tasting cigs all those years and paying a blummin fortune for it too.

Yay my juices came from James this morning so I can join in on this thread. Right now Im vaping low lime with an odd bit of chocolate lime on top (when I pick up the wrong bottle). There are both brill. The chocolate lime is med and if I have too much I feel a bit spaced and as I LOVE vaping Im trying not to knock myself out. I also ordered med in cherry, spearmint and caramel and low in menthol. All of which are delightful but the lime ones are just fantastic. I really really really am loving the lime :0) The menthol is amazingly brilliant too. It is sooo strong and refreshing. But have I mentioned how much I love the lime???

Still a really good saving :0) I am defo doing this for the money as I hate wasting so much of my hard earned wages on fags. A huge but totally unexpected side effect is that I like gaping way more than smoking.

Sorry wrote a big reply and stupid i touch hicupped and I lost it. Just wanted to say DAY 4!!! No cigs and no cravings!!!! I bought some menthol crystals, glyrisin and flavorings and have been messing about. I have added about a tenth to my 11mg and it's fantastic. I think I could add more to dilute it further but don't want to mess it up. Big throat hit and clouds of vapor :0)))). I tried to make a zero nic solution but although it's ok it's not great ( but this might be the new atty rather than the mix- I'm still learning).

The ban thing is really worrying isn't it? I will be beside myself if it ever comes in. Even after 4 days I want to stock pile like a crazy person just in case. I don't know what made me go for it this time. I think one of the big reasons was all the help and testimonials on this site. Having real people say good things about them makes it less of a gamble than just the website blurbs. And I it's reassuring to see recommendations of sellers so you don't fall victim to a scam. Internet paranoia for you.

Well done. I have gone 4 full days without a cigarette now and think e figs are made of magic. There is so much help and support on this site that you can't go wrong. I have never managed to stop before with so little trouble. Every so often I get a craving but as soon as I a pick up the e cig it goes away. I love love love it and wish I had jumped in ages ago. I'm waiting on some more flavours of juice and then I plan to sit back and watch the money I'm saving stack up. Just have to stop myself buying one of every model :0)

The reason I am trying to be good is that I spent the afternoon looking at tons of e-cigs picking out my next ten to buy, and a trillion flavor liquids, and one of everything eles. Thank God I dont get paid for a while because I would be seriously skint now. I think I have a bit of an addictive personality (hello cigarettes).
Thanks (huge big grin) I really do feel like I am doing well. I am so surprised at how well its working. I wish I had taken the plunge ages ago. I agree that its the action of smoking and not the nicotine thing for me anyway. When I tried to give up with the inhalators I was dying for that exhale of smoke. I felt if there was a way I could get that then everything would be perfect. I used to cadge a cig and it would taste like hell but I loved that exhale. And now as if by magic Ive got it. I defo like the exhale and flavor way more than wanting a nicotine fix so I hope 0% will work for chain vaping (its so so nice) and then a nic fix when I need it like I would with a regular cigarette. Thanks again for all the help. You have really made a confussing thing very simple :0)))))

Lol, even though things can conk out they still last a heck of a lot longer than a pack of real cigs Too right! I cant wait to see the money stacking up. I am going to do my best and try not to go buying crazy. I want a working kit and one in reserve for when it gets borked. And somenice flavours of the juice so its a nice experince and I'm not tempted to go back to the proper fags. But no more than that. I dont need draw fulls of everything even though its tempting. I do tend to get carried away with a new "thing" but the whole point of this is basically money saving so good I must be. Im surprised at how much I like the vaping rather than the nic hit. I wonder if I could end up with no nic juice and still be happy? That thought makes me giddy with joy that Im even thinking of the possibility after only two full days off fags (even if it doesnt work out that way)!

Syclla - Brillant :0) I havent heard of the converters...I go and investigate now. The more I read the less confussed I seem to get. A couple of days ago this would all have been crazy talk ) Fishinahat - Tomorrow I will see if I can track this down. Do you know if any of the supermarket flaourings can be used? Like the pepermint maybe?

Hello all :0) Well I am truely a convert to e-cigs. Ive become a bit of a junkie looking at tons of forums and reading up on everything I can about this whole new way of smoking. Firstly I really really have to say a big thank you (again) for the advice to get a Tornado. Ive been reading loads of peoples first attempts dont go too well because they havent got the right model and ending up spending more than they wanted to to get a good version. I feel like I struck gold with the advice I recieved here. Today is the second full day without a proper cigarette. For the first few days I had about 10 a day because I didnt quite trust the e-cig to work but I quickly found I wasnt enjoying them as much as vaping (but because I had a packet lying there they got smoked). Now no cigs in the house and no plans to buy any. Now to some questions. I am thinking of buying another starter set so I have a full back up if anythin goes wrong. I was looking at the Riva 901 from Liberty Flights as its a differint model so I could see the differince. Would you say thats a good one to go for? Or should I get a 501 like I have? I have ordered a few bottles of juice from James and cant wait ti try them but Im not sure if I am using too much of what I have at the moment. I have the 11mg from TW and today I have found Im a little fuzzy at times. I used to smoke between 20-30 Richmond menthol a day so I thought if anything I would need a higher hit. Most of the stuff I ordered from James is the med (12-18mg) so I hope that will be ok. I have got about 3/4 of the TW 30ml bottle left and have used it everyday since Wed even though only exclusively since yesterday. I really like the feeling of vaping and was wondering if I sould get some 0% nic juice so I can just go mad. Has anyone tried it? Does it vape well? Also Im still a bit unsure as to when to fill up. Im changing between dripping and using a cartomiser. I tend to lose flavour after a few vapes but still have loads and loads of vapour. Im using a menthol juice if that makes any differince. Thanks so much :0)

Thanks all again :0) I defo will be getting more liquid in very soon. Dont know what a months supply is though, 60mls or there about???? I am really wanting to try some flavours and keep looking at James site and picking out many differint ones. I think I will order in the next few days, just get christmas over with first. Will try the spearmint one too Chrissie.
Perpy- Thats really intresting about the tornado batteries. Thanks. So if its not working at full flavour/vaper it needs more juice then? Brill that makes it eaiser to work out.
I dont know if Im a chain vaper or not :0) Im trying to use it like a regular cigarette as in a put it down after about 3 minutes of using it and pick it up again after about 20-30 minutes. Is that a chain vaper or do you mean having it on the go at all times??? Sp much tolearn :0)

Brill thanks again :0) I know I will get the hang of it soon. Im not doing too badly I think but there is soooo much to learn and figure out what works well for me. The place where I work is starting a smoking ban on the 2nd of Jan and although Im not office boud Ive been a bit smug because I know I have this magic to use. I like the cartos as they seem dead easy to use but one of the reasons Im trying to switch is money so I want an ecconomical way of (not)smoking. Two pounds each at TW is not going to do that if I cant refill them. I tried using an atty and a cart yesterday for the first time and I was a bit unsure. It didnt seem like it was working as well as the cartos and I think it dried up really quickly, defo not the 5-7 cigs worth I was expecting. Im sure it was me doing something daft though. Ive got 30mls of liquid. How many carts/cartos would that normally fill? I hope to order some new flavours soon and am looking at Paradise vapes. I'd love a really really minty liquid if anyoneknows of one :0)
