I think forward thinking types, who try it and like it, or who want to quit tobacco and see this as an option will give it a go. Especially if you help them out.

With everyone else, there's not much point. Very rarely do I try to convince people of things nowadays, they'll mostly make their own minds up, dependant on the type of person they are anyway.

Nice list thanks. I there any chance of getting the sizes for the Aga series on there?

Yep a mod is usually needed especially for a Aga t, its going to look huge on an ego battery. Also vv/vw helps get better performance out of these devices and makes it easier for coiling as you can turn down the power at first.

One of the inexpenisve drippers is a good idea, although its different to working with a genesis. If you do go for a genesis again I recommend the Aga-S its definitely easier than the T or W to work with as the positive post is closer to the wick, making it easier to coil.

As for oxidising I've yet to find one clear way that everyone agrees on, but pretty much its putting the mesh on a flame yeah. You can do it with a lighter. Many use a chefs torch, I have used the hob sometimes. Theres faff involved in gennies, you need to know before you get one. If your one of the lucky ones you'll get it working straight away, but be prepared to spend some time. I've mostly had success with these but say with the Aga-W I've struggled terribly to get it to work right.

I probably wouldn't go for the one you linked in the first post, the did clone. I hear they are awkward to work with. Also there chrome plated and when the chrome wears off you'll have to throw it away, better to buy an all SS atty.

Well if you mean Vision V3s ,ce5, stardust type clearos I can stand them, I think they are just terrible, especially the flavour. Mini novas I really like though, the flavour is definitely muted compared to dripping or genesis, but it is acceptable, they are good compared to the stardusts. Also no leaking and very convienient.

I'm hoping it slows down sometime. I'm about 3 and 1/2 months into it. I've got 3 vv/vw mods, a mechanical mod, novas, kangers, 3 gennies, a big bag of juice and Diy supplies

Perhaps it will reduce as I now have pretty much everything I need. Although I do think I really need a 14500 mod, surely and the spheroid looks nice.....

I think though if money is tight then just get the most important things and limit spending. If you wait 6 months betters stuff will probably be out anyway, its that kind of industry.

Dripping is awesome, there's no doubt. I'm loathed to resort to the inferior taste of the Vivi Nova after dripping, though it is more convenient for going out.

I've just been looking on Professor Siegel's tobacco analysis blog as he commented on this a couple of days ago, worth a look tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/leaked-copy-of-european-commissions.html

I thought this quote was to the point and may prove useful in letters.

"It's hard to figure out what the purpose of this aspect of the directive is, but its effect will be to increase tobacco-related disease and death in Europe. If approved as drafted, the directive will prevent smokers from having access to a much safer alternative to cigarettes that has been shown to be effective in helping to keep smokers off of cigarettes, or at least, to cut down significantly on the amount they smoke.

Thus, the effect of this directive would be to protect cigarette sales in Europe at the expense of the public's health.

We can only hope that a more sensible strategy will be substituted for this deadly one once the proposal is fully vetted."

I hope people pay attention to this stuff and do something, because if this directive is fully implemented all this vaping stuff is effectively over for us.
