Cheers Karma I like the look of that metal one! A desk tidy that you put pens in makes a good stand! Pop mine in the one at work as well ! Lost count how many times I try to write with it  .... Or vape a pen..... Oh did I laugh!!! that's exactly what I'd do  A warm welcome to Silent Scream and well done!! I am also 28 hours in (yes I AM counting) because it seems a miracle after 30 years hard core smoking?! I didn't intend to 'totally quit' real ciggys but it seems no biggie, I was going to just test out my new evo style e-cig...then somehow I didn't fancy a cigarette. I ordered a lanyard off eBay as in the early days I think i'll need my e-fag close to hand. I'm loving the sucker stands -- must get one for next to my PC. This site is fantastic! every query answered and so much helpful advice. Hope you are having as much fun here as am (((hugs))) I know what you mean, I was hoping vaping would get me off the cigs but didn't really know what to expect. It's been much easier than I thought it would be. Congrats on the 28 hours  It feels like some kind of miracle to me too, never thought I could give up. Bask in the gloriousness of my ecig 'holder'! Hours of brainstorming for this one, and it looks so damn good! I know you're all jealous, but no, you can't have one, this is one of a kind and I'm going to trademark it. Trust Sassy to splash out on the posh stuff  |

Thanks for the links mate. That rubber sucker thinggy actually seems quite a good idea. I'm not sure about the lanyards though...
I think custom stands is probably my next stop in vapeland. Already I'm wondering where to put these bottles while they steep.

I've got a couple of those rubber sucker things that I stand mine up in got them from paradise vape only 50p but can't find the link anymore this is until I can get my custom made wooden stand for my things I've not broken yet Wait... what? Rubber suckers? Wooden stands? You've got this whole thing worked out haven't you? Actually I was musing earlier over what would be a good thing to pop it into when I'm not using it. An ashtray seemed a bad idea... |

Cheers ionian. I'm not sure it matters much how you rest it but I'm sure I read something about it, somewhere. Maybe it was all a dream? |

Hi again everyone, thanks for the great support and encouragement. I have now entered Day 2. Sassy it was a bit strange having a vape instead of a smoke with my coffee but it was okay, I'll get used to it. I usually have a smoke after dinner too but had a vape instead and that was fine, 24mg Ry4 is my after dinner vape for now lol. A quick question while I'm here, what position do you leave your ecig in when you're not using it or in between puffs? I stand my EVOD up with the tip facing up so basically upside down. I seem to remember reading something about don't leave them lying flat. Any rules on this or does it not matter what position it's in? So anyway yeah, no cigs at all since 1pm yesterday and I know there's no way I could have done it without vaping |

They could steep the popular ones though? The big sellers? Then they would taste totally amazing and encourage customers to come back. Well I'm guessing they would, I haven't steeped anything. I completely believe you of course that steeping has amazing hidden benefits. Let's face it, why would you lie? I suppose you could be part of some dark underground conspiracy. That would be quite exciting too actually. I've had some samples from JooseJuice that at first tasted really harsh & bitter so I regretted ordering them, but after a couple weeks sat there in a box un-used, they turned out to be really nice - Definitely recommend steeping, for me it makes a huge difference. Ps; I'm sure you already know this, but check JooseJuice, on their site is a list of tank-crackers, that is, juices that will crack a plastic tank (like the Evod). I've accidentally loaded a tank cracker into an evod and the damn thing cracked almost right away, very disappointing..   Hello mate I LOVED the blog you did on your e cig adventures. The whole steeping thing is as alien as vaping to me at the moment. I got the kit today. Was it black? Yes. Was the battery black? Yes. I thought.. continue.... So two flavours tried, USA Mix which is AMAZING, and Ry4 which is good but very strong throat hit. Is it the high nic that gives the throat hit or the mix of pg/vg I don't know. It is my lot to ponder, but never know. If we are taken over by aliens from Jupiter the aforementioned aliens will make sure to tell me last. |

Well tagged silentscream  & you are indeed brilliant at it Some of the vendors that mix the the juices that they sell have to freshly mix them to order. Especially the ones that give a big choice of nic & vg/pg content. It would be almost impossible for them to mix & stock pile every variation. They could steep the popular ones though? The big sellers? Then they would taste totally amazing and encourage customers to come back. Well I'm guessing they would, I haven't steeped anything. I completely believe you of course that steeping has amazing hidden benefits. Let's face it, why would you lie? I suppose you could be part of some dark underground conspiracy.

Chrissie I just tagged you to show you how brilliant I am at this new tagging thing. The flavour in the stuff I have tastes great to me how much better does it get? And why don't they just sell you stuff they made a month ago instead of saying go steep it? So many vaping mysteries to solve, so little time...

I know what you mean hidden but I like USA Mix because it tastes great not because it tastes like Marlborough or even tobacco because it doesn't. Let's face it after normal cigarettes where you can hardly ever taste anything it's hard to find something
in liquid that doesn't taste much better.

I have to find somewhere really cool to smoke next. Maybe in a church? It doesn't get cooler than on the loo with your PV in one hand and Candy Crush on your phone in the other.  I'll take your word for that Sassy lol. And now I feel a fool, I just realised it was you who commented about steeping not Chrissie. Is it the flavour or the strength that comes out with steeping or is there some other reason for doing it? |

Thanks guys! Chrissie I've read about steeping in the guide but I still don't know how it improves the liquid. Is it just a stronger (or better) flavour?
I am smoking in the front room as I type. There is smoke going all over my computer screen and everything, and the OH has not murdered me which is a top result she says she can't even smell it.

Thanks for the support everyone and thanks a lot for the great answers kibbster. Ginge as of tomorrow I'll have 70 mil in combined samples. My plan is try out the seven flavours then buy the ones I like in bigger bottles. It's nailed on already that I will be ordering more USA Mix |

I ordered the EVOD starter kit from MyePack and it came today with three 10mil samples I ordered. I have to say I really like it so far and haven't even thought about having a normal cig.
Of course It's only 8 hours in I am not claiming the world non smoking record based on that but it's a start!
I have a few questions though. Firstly, in both cartomisers I can hear a sort of strange crackling sound when I draw in on them. Is this normal?
I hope I put the liquid in properly. I tried to avoid the hole in the central tube but it was fiddly as the bottle had a very fine tip on top and I had to put it in by drops intead of pouring.
The other thing, yep stupid question time, when I got the kit I clicked five times to activate the battery. When I'm not using the EVOD I have been clicking five times again to turn it off then doing the five click thing when I need it again assuming this saves battery power.
Am I wasting my time doing this? Do you keep it on till it runs out then charge again?
The other other thing... is I tried two liquids. USA Mix and Ry4 from Myepack. The USA Mix is 18mg and I love the taste. The Ry4 is 24mg and I like that too but it has a very heavy throat hit. I think they are both 70pg/30vg. Is the high nicotine content giving the big throat hit?
I am loving this kit so far and have five more sample bottles coming tomorrow from Joose Juice which I can't wait to try. What gets me most so far is the taste of the flavours are so strong, much nicer than I remember the taste of cigarettes. In fact with normal cigarettes the
more of them you smoke through a day the less you taste them and you are just smoking them for the nicotine hit and out of habit.
Go Vapers, go me, f*** it, go EVERYONE, we rock!

Thanks for the update ginge mate. I have an update of my own. I got my kit today (starting a thread on that in a minute) and so far tried USA Mix and Ry4 both from MyEpack. I LOVE the USA Mix. It's not quite like Marlborough as advertised but it's similar and I love the taste.
That was the first I tried in 18 mil strength. The Ry4 is in the other cartomiser and has a lovely taste but a very heavy throat hit I don't know if that's because it's 24mg? Anyway, Both of these taste excellent, The Ry4 has a slight caramel aftertaste which I like too.
