Hi Ve3  I'm new this week too, agree that this forum is fab, I didn't post myself until I got my kit, but I was lurking and reading a week or so prior to making my first order. Now on order number 3 and it's been less than a week!  I've just ordered a few sweet ones on vapeescape too - I personally cannot wait to try vanilla coke flavour. Vickicb |

I don't think I'll buy any more when they are gone, the ecig didn't seem quite strong enough yesterday. Today, however, I've gone the other way. Having intended to order 2 x 10ml bottles of 24mg, I seem to have accidentally ordered 36mg - and it's strong! Is there any way of watering it down? Hi Vicki and welcome Did you buy the same flavour juice as your 18mg one? If so mix the 2 together 50/50 and you may get the right nic strength. Thanks - that's what I've done this evening and it seems OK. To be honest, I think the 36mg might be OK for work days - I'm a teacher and always rush out for a ciggie at breaktime and one never seems like enough - if I use the 36mg I'll get my fix quicker (and if I'm discreet and noone is in the planning room, I can even do it indoors  ). BUT in the evenings I think I'll end up being a bit of a chain vaper now that I am free to vape indoors without stinking out the house, so probably need a lower strength for that. Just ordered two spare clearomisers so I can switch juice easier and a few 5ml sizes from paradise vape in exciting flavours - they do vanilla coke flavour, so my life is now perfect! |

vickicb don't worry about smoking a couple of ciggies in the early days of vaping. It can take time to get a set up that suits you and juice flavour/strength that suits you! It's a bit of an experiment in the beginning Once you get a set up that suits you it'll be easy to totally give up the ciggies. At the moment, count the ones you don't smoke not the ones you do! The increased strength today has sure kept me off the ciggies, I had 3 left at 10am and still had 3 left 5 minutes ago, until I smoked one and put it out half way through! |

Oh, they are lovely! That's bookmarked for a purchase next month! This way of smoking is fun! I'll have to donate my cast-off's to my boyfriend and try and get him off the cigarettes too Once you buy the battery, please get some juice from them. I just love paradise vape uk e-liquid. You mentioned in first (or second) post that you smoked some cancer sticks just because you have it at home. I have over 40 packets of Bensons at home and didn't even looked at it for couple of months, since I joined the vaping club. Please don't smoke just because the fags are around. Good luck!

Big welcome Vicki You are in the right place here I've been here about 2 months now and I cant tell you how helpful people are on here Never be afraid to ask anything no matter how stupid you may think it is (Believe me I have) 24mg could be the best for you . . . Then try coming down to 18mg Just my opinion Thanks Lenny! |

Hello & Vickib I went back on the stinkies after 8 years of giving up when my Mum passed unexpectedly. Vaping has been great for me and I've been at it a while now. Lots of ladies here on the forum and some great banter goes on between the Girls & Boys hopefully you'll stay a while and join in. Best of luck with the vaping, but look out; there's lots of temptation here! icon_shoppingm I'm already realising that!  |

Welcome Vickib You will find all kinds of great information on here as I have. I to started with and ego and a glasses case, still use it now for when I go out. As for my pennys worth, try to find a near by stockist so you can go and try some different flavors out. You might just find something you like. Here's a link to another thread which gives you a bricks and mortar google map which might help. linkAll the best Frank  Thanks Frank, not one that close to me, but there is one near to my nearest Ikea - I feel a shopping trip coming on! |

Hi Vicki, That all sounds most distressing; losing your friend, giving up then re-starting....running, not running/suffering....poor you. You should be OK on an e-cig kit with 2 batteries. Everybody on here has a different experience of making the switch from fags to vaping. Some haven't done it 100%, some don't feel they can just go for it overnight.... f.w.i.w. I started my journey on 24mg liquid more often than 18mg (I had both) and it took a while to get settled. Also, you might well need extra bits and bobs (like clearomisers) for when things are out of commission/being washed/full of the wrong flavour for 6am! I tend to use a case or sometimes a toothbrush holder (new one ....). Good luck. There are some amazing people on here, who've come far further than me from my 15 a day. You CAN do it, and help is just a click away. Dave. Thanks Dave, what a nice post. And a toothbrush case is a genuis idea - I have an unused one in the house from my son's orthodontist starter kit and it fits lovely - thanks! |

Hi Vicki and welcome to the forum. I too started off with a similar kit and quickly bought a Lanyard from LF. www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=41I bought the wide strrap one and combined it with the Leather one and have been using that everyday since. It will fit all combinations of eGo battery size and it is my basic out and about ecig. Oh, I do like that leather one - shame it's out of stock at the moment, will keep my eye on the site for stock updates, not bad for £5. Thank you |

Hi Vicki I'm only here on a flying visit at the moment, but I'm sure there will be plenty of others who can hang around long enough to say something useful Hello sleepduck, thanks for posting |
