Brilliant news Pacer! I think I'm 4 months in now and feel pretty certain I'm a non smoker now, when I reach a year I reckon I'll be completely convinced. Good on ya

Hi Scooby welcome to the forum ![*welcome*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/X5JcF81xh83C17JoS6wF.gif) The gunk factor probably depends on how your chest is to begin with mate, personally I smoked for nigh on 30 years till recently but I didn't have that sort of reaction, but in the past having gone on nico patches or gum I did have a flemmy cough after a short time. I used ego-t tanks for a few weeks when I started, they're ok I suppose but I found they leaked and needed constant attention to keep them working acceptably, next I used a ce5 clearomiser, much better flavour and less faff, Evod clearomisers are better again IMO and then there are a myriad of other possibilities are out there each with different pros and cons. Read the board ask questions and give it a go buddy, most on here never looked back! Good luck

I Tend to keep the same flavour in a tank till the wick needs changing, then I disassemble, rinse off, pull it to bits, dispose the wick and then leave the parts to soak for an hour or overnight in hot water. Leave to dry on vaping towel and then re wick and throw em in the spares box. Must admit though I tend to wait till I've got half a dozen need doing else its a proper faff

Problem for us is we have a nice Ruby and it makes us hanker so bad for a stinkie it's unreal ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Last time though we said, half pissed, sod it ten Mayfair; and mate they tasted like sucking on a burnt out oil can, absolutely vile! Mind you we've made the same mistake with a pack of Marlboro lights, hmmmmmm.nom nom. Thing is at 7.30 the next morning we've not felt at all like smoking anything and it hasn't even occurred to us again, Vaped again for weeks and weeks

ChillerVapes well there you are then! I think personally if you ask then someone will, rightly or wrongly, decide instantly and often in their own head; whether you can or can't. Whereas in reality (yet) there isn't an official policy in the majority of places. My rule is 'if in doubt, don't ask' and like our experiences show, if you don't bother asking, just get on with it. Must admit though, on the plane I was being extra stealthy, avoiding the steward(esse)s, they scare the shit out of me these days so I didn't fancy getting on the wrong side of em!

Thanks, Perpetua. Not sure if I can resist. It's such a great price and the black one would be a good change. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Go for it mate, for twenty odd quid its a bargain! I know a Vamo is the same price and it does exactly what it says on the tin, but this SID thingy does exactly the same without looking like a tribute to admiral lord nelson. I booked DHL cos my order was a hundred and odd quid, so another fiver was neither here nor there but then I got stung for customs, (albeit les than it should've been) but i think in hindsight that china post it would have sailed through as usual.

Just typed half a page on aperture v sensor size in low light then deleted it! Wrong forum for photography tips and advice, but what Izan said is about right, as long as you bear in mind aperture size is relative to sensor size. Bullet tips Low f number, potentially better light capability. Over 8-9 Megapixels is absolutely pointless unless you intend to print, regularly, over a3. Honestly. Bigger sensor, better quality, pretty reliably. Better glass, better quality, always. Bigger megapixels, better quality, only behind a major piece of glass and on a big big sensor. Photography tips on an ecig forum, pretty unreliable, usually.
You can't go wrong with a Panasonic lumix with Leica glass in your budget, but google it before you buy it.

Funny I was there 3 weeks ago and mine was never out of my hand Mine neither 5 weeks ago! In the shops, at the bar (loads of vapers in there btw) on the walk to the gate; and right down the tunnel to the plane doors. Didn't make an advert out of myself just exhaled downwards, but not stealthy styley just not blowing mist everywhere.

been using ours for a couple of days now instead of a vv ego for work and they're great! No more spares, no more half arsed vaping during the day, all the benefits of a Vamo without looking like a bit of a space cadet outside the home!

That would be good if they do Karma . . . I don't have either of those, so the purchase was absolutely essential. ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/rd3a3XzcKcp6Cp8mA_6q.gif) I bought a Purple and a Black 18350, so that should ring the changes with the Black and Silver 18650's I've got. That's it now, no more spending. ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/fjsoKjXamcLHp5qOC1cm.gif) I know the SID's are made of aluminium and I wondered if the silver turns black where you hold it etc ? That's why I opted for the black and white but I could probably go for a silver one as well if they don't oxidise ? Anyone ? Hi ckc the aluminium is sprayed in silver paint with a slight texture to it, looks very nice and won't tarnish obviously, cos it's paint ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Oh I wouldn't let it get me down honestly Perps! I only ordered from there because they're practically giving branded stuff away, so the saving is still massive lol. I try to order from the uk when I'm spending 20, 30, 40 quid but if I'm having a splurge, especially an impulse one (aren't they all?.. Lol) then the prices are too competitive to ignore. I got my 60/40 wrong though, but even with the duty the order was actually 40% plus cheaper than at home, saving nearly a hundred quids ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) So happy days, just need delivery now

Bummer, just been stung for £16 duty on my order, first time that's happened since buying from China Doh! Still worked out at 60% saving for me though so I can't complain really. I think anything shipped DHL is at a much higher risk tbh, so it's worth bearing in mind when ordering
