Thanks Perpetua, you've told me something I didn't know. Discontinued? That's a blow as the Vivi Nova is the only tank I've ever used since I started vaping. Can you or anyone else recommend an alternative that's just as simple and easy to use/clean etc?

I always pay for all my ecig purchases on the net with PayPal. Always have done and never had a problem.

Thanks, makes sense that. I'll give it a go.

Thanks for your reply, however the problem seems to be that the pin is too far up rather than too far down, ie, if I screw my Vivi Nova down too much the battery just locks up. I think I'll need to try a different type of tank cos I only use Vivi Nova's.

Tried all the flavours but now use half Menthol and half Flu Cured mixed as an all day vape.

Twelve months ago today, and after 40 odd years as a smoker, I packed the fags up after discovering e-cigs, and I'm happy to report that I haven't had any urges whatsoever to go back to the dreaded weed (not that I haven't been tested on occasions).

The latest 'test' occurred about a month before Xmas when my wife fell down a flight of concrete steps and suffered a compound fracture to her ankle. As I attempted to help her off the floor I noticed that she was sat on her foot, which was lying at a 90 degree angle to her leg. It was a complete break and the bone was sticking out through her skin. It was a truly sickening sight. An ambulance was called - later followed by another two ambulance's after the first paramedic called for assistance – and between them they eventually (after three hours) managed to get my wife off the ground and into the ambulance and whisk her off to hospital where a team from the Trauma Unit was waiting. She was operated on within an hour of arriving at the hospital and has been in plaster – and bedridden of course - since that day.

Apart from the injury, the most worrying thing was that whilst the paramedics were attending my wife they were becoming concerned that that they couldn't feel a pulse in her lower limb and I was warned there was a possibility she might lose her foot. I was stunned and in shock. Thankfully however, as they got her into the ambulance, one of the paramedics managed to get a pulse and I was able to breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Just to add a footnote (no pun intended), exactly one week prior to my wife's accident on those steps, she had tripped and stumbled in the hallway at home and – putting her hand out to cushion the fall – she broke her wrist, which required an operation. Now, all in all, thats what I call bloody bad luck and a terrible end to the year 2013. The good news is, despite all the panic and worry involved, I have still not had a cig :0)

Hi raid, sent my details via PM. Thanks. And thank you to all who replied to my OP. Very much appreciated.
