Hi Siffy. I started vaping back in June not with intention of quitting completely but with the idea of cutting down, I was smoking 200 grams of golden Virginia a week and it was getting expensive. I started with a couple of ego-t and ce4s but soon moved on to MVP and iclear 30 tanks. I have not had a stinkie since the end of July time and to tell the truth I don't miss them one bit. My breathing is better, I can taste food again and neither myself or my clothes stink like ashtrays anymore. Time will tell though but in the meantime I am happy sucking on my MVP and iclears or my new toy, zmax and davide mega I also got a mech mod to try,bought,from the classies here but need to get a couple of protected batteries for it. I will be watching your thread on the iclears closely because I am getting tempted with something rebuildable too. All the best to you. And you. It seems we may have got the best in the non rebuildables with our iclears which doesn't suprise me as I love mine. I'm like you, only a few weeks ahead of you vaping wise, I notice my breathing, energy and other people who have that smoking smell. I know this might sound strange (it probably does) but I noticed something else to the other day. I went to the Essex shopping center Lakeside and nipped out for a vape. As I stood there vaping I noticed the beautiful sky and trees in the distance. I remember thinking how beautiful and realised I'd never noticed the view before (which is strange as I don't miss a trick!) I then realised it was because I no longer smoke I really am calmer now, I do stop and smell the roses as the saying goes. Do you notice this too? I think that was a turning point for me tbh as much as the health and expense side of it. I have always been an anxious so and so but I no longer feel as anxious.

Hi guys, Am three months vaping next month so might treat myself to something. I currently use and really like my iclear 30 but just wondered what is the next step up from that? I probably am best avoiding anything that I have to build and I don't make my own replacement attys. So something I can use easily that I can easily source spare attys. Thanks There is no next step up from an iClear 30 ... it is the pinnacle of vaping!!!!!!!!! Oh I might jut save my money towards a shiny then..grin

I didn't, I'll be honest. I was forced into trying vaping just to get my non smoking hubby off my back. I never thought it would work, a part of me hoped it wouldn't as I'd had a 30year relationship with cigs and didn't really want to say goodbye.
It's as though I quit by accident really and I am over the flipping moon to be honest. I found switching a struggle in the physical, mental and finding the right equipment sense but deep down I must have known it was worth it, and that I could switch over if I just trusted all of you and your cheerleading of vaping.
I would never in my wildest dreams thought it would replace my cigs but I'm flipping glad it has!
What's your story?

Thank you for the video Super-Shiny I will watch that tomorrow. Thanks for your video too andy01424 I have iclear30 you see, I can't imagine trying to learn how to do them, or am I being a defeatist. It's just there looks a lot going on to me.

siffy Magoo is duel coil and the Terminator is not (I have the Terminator) but as you say it might not be for you as it is rebuildable, saying that once you get used to rebuilding a whole new world opens up. Yes it might you know I was the flat pack furniture queen in my house..lol Do they come with guidance/instructions?. So can I purchase attys for the Magoo. xs2man I like the dual coil tbh as it seems a bit stronger and ruffer round the edges, which I like. What is it about your 30 you don't like? Dreamy didn't like his too.

The iClear30 is a bit of a beast due to it being duel coil, vape wise and throat hit wise i don't think there is much out there unless you go down the rebuildable route. On that note what exactly are you looking for more than what the Iclear30 does? I don't know really Super-Shiny, I mean I do like it and it's great for me. I suppose I just wondered what next really as I felt like a treat. I can't imagine I will go down the rebuildable route, will be one calamity after another. I saw the magoo (is it called that?) Link you posted, that looked lovely but also looked like you need to know what you're doing and I don't, plus it wasn't duel coil.

Hiya everyone
I am planning to start going down the diy route soon and just wondered if anyone had info on how to make the USA mix liquid? I did check the recipe board but couldn't see it, most likely I have missed it knowing me.
Thanks in advance

Great story, like you I didn't really want to stop and was more of a case of having to.
I imagine you are enjoying spending the money on your new hobby and good for you. I have got my monthly spend down to £35 a month instead of spending £270 a month on analogs. I imagine your spending habit will slow down or if not, and you can afford it, who cares at least you are free from the slavery of analogs.

I love reading, Disney cross stitch and cooking. I also love to read and research all things about Orlando and need to get back to doing that (huge lottery win tonight, might be me) and get back on track with my other intrests too, seem to have lost myself in all things vaping.

I cant say that I've started vaping to stop smoking as I do love smoking, but the cost is getting out of control. depending where you buy from...my mum suggested I try it and she bought my first Ego kit from paradise vape. I've just enjoyed the fact it's so much better from me then cigarettes, and I still get to have my one vice.( as I'm not much of a drinker) to relax and enjoy.. I used to only smoke 14ish a day, and I've cut out half that. so that will be doing me good as it is.. what I'm hopeing to happen with vaping, is I start to hate cigarettes, and no longer want the stinkys. as it is it's working. I'm no longer likeing the taste, starting to taste very odd.. I've found a kit I use with to much trouble, and Jucies I'm really loving.. so it's all good.. Brilliant so it sounds like it's going well for you. Price, I know omg, £8.50 for 20 B&H in my village shop. Funny that when all we did was smoke we didn't over notice the taste of cigs, yet once you start to vape I find it amazing that you start to taste them for what they really are, chemicals. Just reminds me of strong cleaning products, dreadful.

I understand what everyone is saying setting a date to just vape all day,, It's not an excuse but I cant do the getting rid of the cigarettes out of the house cos OH is still on them (he's still at the dipping toe in the water stage). so I'm very happy to vape and just replace as many as possible. then one day it WILL happen that I don't have any at all... I'm going to set up another thread to ask my next questions. as I'm looking at going a lot smaller with kit(ego mini keyring), but i'll save it for another thread. thankyou to everyone who has posted on this thread, It's filled with information, as least I know it doesn't matter how much we vape, it's not going to do me any harm, if I only vape 2ml per day or 10ml per day. so thankyou. I hope you don't mind me asking this but do you really want to give up the cigs or are you doing it because you vape you feel you have to, if that's the right term of phrase. If you do then great, I have no doubt it will happen. If not don't beat yourself up as my research on google has lead me to threads where people vape for 90% of the day and smoke for the other 10%. It is not always a natural progression that all vappers completely quit cigs, although most do through choice.
