I'm going to have to make an order, seeing all the glowing reviews!
I'm hooked on vanilla at the moment, but love the fruity flavours too.... what would you guys reccomend??

Hiya
I'm not going to start suggesting which products to use, because A) I'm a total novice myself and B) I have no idea about e-cigars vs e-cigs. I did however want to welcome you to the forum and I know you will get lots of good advice from the lovely members here!
As for generally switching from smoking to vaping, It took me 1 week. The first week I went from 20 a day, to 3 in the week, and by the 2nd week I was completely smoke free. In fairness I think the 3 I had that first week were because I was on too weak a nicotine strength, and had to battle a bit to overcome the cravings. Switching to a higher formula made all the difference!
I'm currently using 2 kits.
1- a kr808d-1 kit with 3 batteries and d2 cartomizers (and a PCP). Its a simple 2 part system, bit of a faff for refilling in public without looking like a drug dealer, but really handy for being out and about for the day. I bought this from jac vapour.
2- a Riva510 kit. 2 riva batteris, low resistance atomizers, and cartridges. I also have an ego xl battery which fits this kit too, and lasts longer for full days out. I love this kit, but need to sort out some larger volume cartridges soon. I bought this from liberty flights.
3 - liquid, I am using a variety of flavours (I started with tobacco flavours but cant stand them now), all at 24mg strength. My next orders will be 18mg as I am weaning myself onto a lower nicotine dose. At the moment my daily flavour is the vanilla from ecigwizard, but I have a variety of liquids from lots of vendors. I cant say yet what is a great liquid compared to what is a good liquid, they are all similar quality imo (but I know this is because I'm a newbie).
OK I'm off now after my mammoth waffling, I only meant to welcome you! DOH!

camperman so true, and combined with the anti-smoking brigade who refuse to even consider "damage limitation" products (like e-cigs or smokeless tobacco), they have a very strong arm  |

oh and as for Dr Allcock, a quick google has highlighted that he was one of the primary forces behind the movement which banned smoking in public places. I'm afraid based on what I have read he is very much part of the "quit or die" brigade. He cant see that there may be a way for smokers who have been unable to quit, to reduce the harm of smoking and so improve their health.
I have only been vaping a very short period of time, but I can tell already that my taste buds are returning, my lungs are clearer (no more morning cough), and I generally have more energy!

I think we need to be realistic here. it IS possible that his inhalation of the vapour contributed to his death, we dont know what state his lungs were in, we dont know what pre-existing conditions or congenital abormalities may have been in place to cause the reaction. It reminds me of the discussion about "hypoallergenic". Most people assume this means you wont be allergic to it. Not the case at all, it just means that the chances of a reaction are lower as its not a common allercenic antigen. E.g.... everything is hypoallergenic unless your allergic to it  Someone seemingly perfectly healthy may die from a burst blood vessel caused by taking an aspirin.... yet millions of people take aspirin daily as a benefit to their health. It doesnt mean its safe for all. We know that nicotine is toxic in large quantities, perhaps he had a faulty cartridge which was alloing liquid to leak in significant quantities, perhaps he was vaping something unusual (ive heard of someone vaping a liquid viagra type stimulant!!!), perhaps he had a pulmonary condition anyway which meant that vaping was the last thing he should have been doing. We just dont know, and it seems that not enough tests were undertaken by the coroners to get to the bottom of things. Either way, with 12000 uk smoking related deaths in the UK a year, and 1 possible (but far fetched) vaping related death... I think the figures speak for themselves as to which is the better alternative. We all know there are risks, we knew there were risks with smoking, and we make a decision based on weighing up those risks, NOT on scaremongering or hearsay. |

hiya guys Something smells really fishy around here, and I'm sure I had a bath in the last month so it cant be me! Oil??? Does anyone know what brand this person was supposedly vaping, that would contain oil? I think a telephone call to this Dr. Allcock might be in order...... While I am here, and a total newbie, what is this vape TV? that we need to be supporting? I'm afraid ive never heard of them, or the electronic cigarette trade association (SP?) |

helloooo
Thanks very much for my order, super quick delivery.
Only one little problem, you sent me a cherry (rather strong but yummy) flavoured liquid, instead of the vanilla I ordered..... it was in the vanilla box though lol.
Any chance of helping me sort this out?
ta muchly x
