I am really enjoying reading how you all switched, and the circumstances that lead to it, can you believe it we no longer smoke. I still can't believe it seems like I'm in a dream.
I can't remember the last time I fancied a cig (which is completely new to me!) Might be because my parting memory is of a kitchen cleaner type taste? I'm pleased not to have had any urges for weeks but am mindful I might so am not taking anything for granted. I know though for the first time ever in my life I will never go back to cigs and that feeling, to me, feels like being released from a prison as I'm sure does all of you too.

I won't give up! and thank you for your luck about the dentist I hate them! Have to go and have my wisdom teeth out first at the hospital ahhhh! Then I got to go back to the dentist think I need a root canal as it's just the 1 tooth that when I vape (eat and drink) its excruciating so that doesn't help so 100% effort once that's done and I won't give in this time I'm ready to do it. Good for you, I like your style.

Safe journey xs2man. I have been lucky that I didn't catch the shiny bug and am about £400 in the green now. Vaping is going to make a dream come possible for my in two years as it will mean we can afford to take the girls back to Florida without robbing Peter to pay Paul to get there. I used to spend about three grand a year on cigs so now if I pop away two grand over the two years it will cover our park tickets bill. Add that to the holiday money I put away each month and we honestly can go. Smoking would never have allowed that to happen so I praise vaping for harm reduction, huge cost reduction and in getting us back to Florida, exciting times.

You are more than welcome siffy glad to have been of help (stick with Innokin - you cant beat them for quality and reliability) ETA: I'm hoping that with all the promoting that I am doing for them they will send me a free VTR when it come out Lol, I hope they do too. Have just made a purchased, brushed steel. I was going to wait till payday but to be honest why wait. Have saved £64 a week not smoking so there is cash there now. I'll let you know when it turns up, thanks again.

siffy I really am trying and I hope with all the new advice and the decent vendors I have now found will be the key Oh and my new set-up can't wait will post a thread up once I get going! I'm sure you will get there, the fact you are still trying too speaks volumes. I look forward to hearing how you enjoy your new set up and good luck at the dentist too.

siffy Go for the mvp v2 - you won't regret it. It has everything you need/want and it is no bigger than a 10 pack of cigs. No faffing about with batteries and chargers and Ash at myepack is offering terrific value now at £10 off (£39.99). Go for it girl you know you want to! I will and thanks ever so much for your help, and thanks to everyone else on here who took time to help me too, cheers.

I got the v1 of the mvp a couple of weeks into vaping as my riva battery let me down one night, its good, two days worth of life in the battery which is charged with a mobile phone charger (micro usb). Its about the size of a packet of 10, looks well made, although the button fell off mine after 5 weeks. (thats one vendor who is no longer getting my cash) Its something thats worth owning i guess, but get the v2 not the v1. As for the iclear30 I love mine and have just started dripping although that is a major faff, why not get an protank 2 / mini or a davide , so you can use juices that are unsuitable for poly tanks? Must say tho that I prefer the warm vape of a top coil atty, a viva nova is a similar set up to the 30 although is lighter on juice as its got less wicks, vapingvison have the genuine ones and the replacement heads. excuse typos long night shift Thanks for your help. I think the only thing that puts me off the protank and davide is folk who don't love the 30 love that so it makes me think it must be a different vape experience I have a viva nova, you know I keep forgetting to use that one. Sounds to me then my 30 is the best one for me (none rebuildable wise) and my cash might be best spent on a MVP2 then. I'm buying something, come what may! A girl needs to mark her three month anniversary...lol

@freefromsmoking I use Vape Escape too! I have seen the MVP and it has 40% off but am just not keen on the look. I know, what a silly thing to say! Might be because I live in Essex but I wouldn't care I'm not even from Essex, I'm a Bolton lass! So tell me what you love about the MPV (obviously if you have time) My partner in crime dreamylittledream has just bought a vamo but I think that looks big for my tiny frame. I consider the MVP as I can use this in my smoking den, the garage. I know it's bigger than a vamo but I like that I don't have to faff about buying batteries and a charger. Ok, The mvp has a huge 2600mAh battery which lasts for at least 2 days, variable voltage, ego and 510 threading, can be used to charge your smartphone in an emergency, and it is very compact and comfortable in the hand (certainly wider than a vamo but not as tall). Downside things are that you still need a backup when it is charging and it doesn't have variable wattage or a resistance checker. These are the two reasons that I then went on to buy the Innokin svd only to find a couple of weeks later that the MVP version 2 was coming out which I would have bought as I love the MVP! If I was looking to buy anything at the moment this is what I would buy. myepack.co.uk/itaste-mvp-v2-0.html Thanks for your review...mmmm....I am tempted as I like the fact it has a good battery life. Payday on the 21st so might just make a purchase.

Unfortunately I have had a bit of a tough time with vaping. I got caught in the over research loop and brought everything. Started on a basic kit from Jak vapour did more research and found a whole new shiny world! Brought a ego kit next with ce4's and loads of different juices but couldn't find anything to suit so all the while still smoking. Next was a twist with some carto tanks and brough myself a mixing kit and about 40 different flavour concentrates (I went mad!). Still not finding a nice juice and setup I brought a vamo from vapourbreak and tried again, nothing I really did want to give up so I didn't give up I booked a hotel in Tamworth and scooted on down to Vapefest 2013. It was a fantastic day (mentally busy!) and met some lovely people who gave me some sound advice and I finally found 2 juices that I love (Red astaire and Forest affair from T-juice) I told Nigel from T-juice (top bloke) of my struggle with finding a decent juice and he gave me a big enough supply of Forest affair to last until they launched it on their website so with all good intentions I thought right this is it now no more fags. That lasted 2 days I don't no what's wrong! I've ordered a mech Mod and have got myself a kick (Thanks Super-Shiny) in my last ditch attempt to find the perfect set-up and loose the fags for good. I'm only on 2 a day opposed to 10-15 but for some reason vaping gives me toothache so I'm off to the dentist also. Thank you to everyone that has helped me on this forum it's brill and hope this works so hurry up fasttech with my order! So sorry you've had a tricky start I did too so can understand how you must feel. It took me a good 8 weeks to finally switch and be 100% happy with the switch. I read on the web it took 3 to 6 months for some people to make a total transition so I wouldn't worry. Two cigs is much better than 10-15 so you're doing brilliant. Maybe trun your thinking round and say right, I can have 2 cigs a day no problem, no biggy, then it might help? It doesn't always work but sometimes a change of thought can remove the pressure, relax you and you enjoy the vaping more. It worked for me. Please let us know how it's going as I will be rooting for you, maybe start a blog on here? I gave so much thought power to the cigs, seriously! The Allen Carr Easyway book has finally helped in removing the illusion that I had about them, it might help you too.

I started with E-Lites. I had high hopes.... then my world fell apart and even my wife wanted to leave. Once I got a Riva kit, I knew it was only a matter of time. Got to love those little plastic sticks. Thank goodness that you found the Riva kit, I wonder how much longer you would have kept it up with the E-lites? I tried them first, pants. I tried them a year ago and only lasted 2 or 3 days on them so you did better than me.

Hi siffy, my vaping story is that I smoked from the age of 15 for about 43 years (30 a day at the end). I was getting increasingly out of breath and when I went to see the doctor he diagnosed mild COPD. He told me although it would not get any better, it would not get any worse if I stopped smoking. I threw my cigs and lighter into his waste bin and stopped there and then. I went cold turkey and was off them for 5 years through sheer willpower but there wasn't a single days during those 5 years that I didn't crave nicotine. One particularily stressful day I was sorely tempted to buy a pack of cigs but rather than undo all the hard work I had put in over the previous 5 years, I bought a disposable e-lite and the rest is history. I vape to feed the nicotine demon and because I love the whole lifestyle. Oh how horrible that you had 5 years of still fancying a cig, you must have felt mentally dreadful. Thank flamming goodness you no longer feel like that! Am made up for you I really am. I can only imagine the bliss you must have felt when you took a inhale on your PV. I am glad of it after 2 hours let alone 5 years.

Oh I might jut save my money towards a shiny then..grin A good decision siffy .. It is a human failing that we all have, to be looking for something better even when we are already happy with what we have got. So ture and I suppose because I see the extra cash mounting up I think what the hell, I can afford it now. What did you try before you realised the iclear30 was the one for you? I have tried the ones that come with the starter kit, ce4? Can't even remember the flipping name, but can remember leaks, leaks and more leaks. I tried the evods which was leak free but I just knew it wasn't the man for me, a bit too smooth and airy. I tried a nova too but again just knew it wasn't going to be my true love. I'll be honest I only ordered the iclear due to the fact it had a 3ml tank and I thought less time faffing and filling. Was meant to be obviously..lol
