Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I got a lot of flavours to try from eXhale, they are re-branded Chinese juices. Most are fine, one or two are terrible.
Likes: Menthol (excellent, and the first thing I ever vaped), Coffee, Cherry, Orange, Mango (yes, Mango!).
Dislikes: Cappucino (like exhaling sick through your nose!), Licorice (zero flavour - returned to supplier and credited - thanks eXhale)
In the Middle: Cigar (it's a nice tobacco flavour, but there's no cigar in it), Vanilla (In my CE5 it is like smoking a piece of home-made cake)
I ordered my base liquids and some flavours from LT eCigs. They should arrive at the end of the week. I'll give them a go and report back.
By the way, I think I may have to avoid vaping late in the evening, it could be affecting my sleep. I might try and mix some zero-nic eJuice for the evenings.

Hello everyone and warm greetings from Nottingham.
I posted on the Hello & Welcome thread, then Chrissie quite reasonably suggested starting a thread of my own. Here it is, and here's the story so far.
I've been vaping for a couple of months now. I tried other forums but this one looks a lot more friendly. On another UK vapers forum I was virtually ignored in the chat because I did not use a shiny £89 brass-plated "mizer", vape 8 ml a day and spend £50 a week on new flavours!
In fact I have a straightforward eGo-T kit, vape about 1 ml a day and buy new flavours maybe once a month. I think that's perfectly reasonable... and probably more typical too.
The eGo-T kit was not actually my first vaping experience. I have smoked small cigars for a long time. It was getting expensive, and I was also getting a little anxious about the possible health risks from the carcinogens in them. I did as much research as I could, wading through endless posts and countless conflicting opinions. Almost everyone agreed that the sort of e-cig sold over supermarket pharmacy counters was not the best introduction to vaping. So to start with I got a CE5 kit. Well, it was sold as a CE5 but it seems to have CE4 internals with wicks. I shan't name the supplier, as it was reasonably priced for a kit with two complete battery+vapouriser sticks, a USB charger and a (admittedly rather poor) 5ml sample of tobacco eJuice.
I bought several eJuice flavours, all 18mg strength, and used the CE5s for a few weeks. They did not draw well - it was hard to suck air through them unless the tops were unscrewed from the batteries quite a bit. So I got a kit which the supplier called AMEGO. In fact it contained two complete eGo-T units, spare tanks, a USB charger and a mains charger. The mains charger was not even supposed to be included, so that made me smile.
The eGo-T units are a little thinner on flavour than the CE5s, but they are a lot less faffing about. No wicks to clean and replace, no fussy cleaning, they just work. I do clean them from time to time, but they need a lot less attention than a CE5.
When I first started vaping I was smoking one cigar a day. Then it dropped to about one every 5 days. Now I haven't smoked tobacco for about two weeks. I do miss them, mainly because they are... well... smoky! That's about all. If I could find an eJuice that really was smoky, not just the taste of steeped tobacco leaves, then I would be delighted.
It has been a while since I bought some eJuice. I have finally placed another order, this time for some base liquids and flavours to mix my own stuff. I'm trying a different supplier this time. The first one was ok, but had a limited range and all the affordable (to me) ones were blended in China. Frankly I am not totally convinced that UK/European ingredients will be better, but I'll find out soon enough.
Thanks for listening.

Yep - Just happened to me too. Not a big problem, though.
