If you're anything like me I smoked my head off setting my first ecig up Debbie, the excitement was all too much!

Hello and *welcome*from a newbie I've been cig free for 30 days thanks to vaping.I can't give advice on all the equipment or array of e liquids as I'm still working it out.My two pennies worth is just find an ego kit at a price you feel is comfortable and just try it.I've been smoking over 20 years and my partner over 30 and we were on about 30 cigs a day.We were sceptical but from the moment the e cigs arrived we haven't had a real ciggie!I tried patches,gum,cold turkey,nic inhalor nothing worked vaping does work.My partner has the will power of an gnat he's got high bp and had 1 heart attack already and still smoked.Liquid wise don't buy a large amount of one flavour I bought tobacco and hated it.The weird thing is vaping replaced smoking but the whole smell/taste of tobacco wasn't good and I'm not sure what you will need but 18 mg worked fine for me.I'm now smoking flippin bananas through a strange electronic device and enjoying it!!!!Take a leap Debbie don't spend to much,you can upgrade with the cash you save if its for you.I've got a pretty jar full of notes that keeps on building up and an app to tell me how many days I've been cig free and how much money I've saved(which is in the jar!).Anyway I'm certainly not an expert but just try it as like me you only have a couple of ££s to lose if it isn't for you but if it is you can go mad and buy all sorts of batteries and tanks .Good luck on your journey xx

debbie - I know what you mean about the fear of spending silly money when everyone & his dog recommends their own personal favourite starter kit.

Basically, all you need is one or two clearos (the tanks, be they plastic like CE4's, a plastic/metal mix like Evods, or glass, like Protanks).
And a couple of batteries. Even a 650mah & a small 350-400mah will do, just so you can rotate them.


"Rebuildable" seems to sometimes mean subtly different things at different times, but when we're talking about these smaller clearos like Evods, CE4's & such generally it means that the atomiser head (the bit you see me take off & clean in my second link) can be un-screwed and replaced, so that you don't need to throw away the entire clearo (tank), like you have to with the older CE4 designs. (which is why you'll see things like "CE4 v3", version-3 for example has a replaceable atomiser)

Atomiser heads cost about £1-£2.50 depending on the make/model, and mine seem to last ages, I'm easily going on 2+weeks with my first.

Later on, if you choose to, you can even avoid the small cost of replacing them, because you can do your own coil & wick, but for now, while you get used to them, just consider an Atomiser head to be about a quid to two-fifty, and will last you about 3x weeks, give or take.

So considering you're on rollies right now, you'll roughly be looking at the cost of 3 to 4 bags of tobacco for your equipment, which is essentially a one-time purchase. What's that - a week's worth?
Then you're looking at the cost of three-quarters of a bag of tobacco per week for the juice, plus 1x atty head per 3-4 weeks.

When you add it up, it's waaay cheaper than smoking, it's just the hurdle of getting one's head round it that's tricky, and I'll admit it's what took me so long.

The good thing with vaping debbie is you can make it as expensive or as cheap as you want. Say you bought a kit. A few spares for it and then all you would need to buy is juice which could be as little as a few £ a week depending on how much you vape and just stick with the kit. Or you could upgrade as and when things need replacing keeping things managable on the money front or you go crazy and spend lots.
