Wow - hi all, and thanks Des for the answers! The Wibble (which I'm vaping as I type) is chocolate, but almost like a mocha coffee - it tastes like a café - hard to put your finger on - it's not a Dairy Milk sort of chocolate, more like having a bit of Bournville, taking a sip of espresso, then having a cig! I really like it - it's a 'dark brown' sort of taste, and is a nice alternative to the Honeywood that I was vaping this morning. I'm really pleased (though not terribly surprised) to find out that I shan't get fat vaping some of the sweeter flavours. I've been off sugar and sweeteners since last August, and so the idea of being able to taste chocolate, or indeed strawberry cheesecake etc. is rather wonderful. Anyone found a pizza or curry flavoured juice yet? Maybe freshly made bread too!  I can dream! My husband is, sadly, still smoking, and in the house, too - so I'm getting wafts of smoke from time to time. It smells very odd now, totally different from when I was smoking. He's not at all interested in trying vaping, stubborn thing that he is, he won't even have a taste. I refuse to do the 'reformed smoker' thing and put any pressure on him, but it would be nice to get all the advantages of making the switch - no smells in house, no ashtrays, no ash etc. Maybe after I've stuck with this for a few months he may change his mind - I hope so anyway! Thanks again for the welcome - am sure I'll be back with loads more questions/comments etc. Just on a bit of a high today now I know this is really enjoyable and I'm not missing the cigs Woot! |

Hi everyone. I started trying to replace my usual 30 a day habit with e-cigs about a week ago - used those Nicolite lookalikes until today my new Kanger Twist starter kit (2 batteries, 2 atomisers, chargers for USB and mains, 5 x 5ml sample juices) arrived. I am now most definitely a convert! My first 2 flavours are Wingnuts Wibble and Honeywood, both 20mg. I'm finding that the Wibble needs a higher battery power than the Honeywood, but I'm enjoying both of them. Now for my questions:
What can I expect to feel over the next few weeks as I get used to vaping instead of smoking? Any withdrawals at all?
I don't seem to be getting through much juice - started this morning and can barely see a difference in the level in the 'tank' (for want of whatever the technical term is). I'm finding I vape maybe 2 or 3 puffs every 5 mins or so when sitting at the computer - not sure I've really got the hang of this yet, but not having any desperate cravings to smoke, so I guess it's all good.
The dry mouth - other than drinking shedloads of water, any way to prevent/combat this?
Silly question, but I just need to be certain - there aren't any calories in these wonderfully chocolate-flavoured vapes, are there? I've seen the Stevia/Aspartame discussions, so I'm assuming not (and can't really see how I could be inhaling calories!), but having been on a diet for the past 7 months and lost a significant amount of weight, I really don't want to bugger it up. Told you it was a silly question!
How often do you find you need to replace the mouthpiece part? Most posts I've seen seem to estimate once a week - would that be about right, and how do you know when it needs changing?
When swapping from one flavour to another, do you wash out the tank (atomiser?) part, or would that get water down the middle bit? If you don't wash it, how do you transition from one flavour to another?
Thanks for any replies/answers - I'm really excited to be off cigarettes after many, many years, and want to make sure I stick with the vaping and don't make any stupid beginner errors!
