Welcome elbozeeta Fellow newbie here - just come off the baccy too! They're all great folks here - they helped me a lot with all my questions. I finally arrived at the place where my head has stopped spinning - well worth it coming off the rollups! Enjoy the ride and good luck

Hi again everyone Thought I come back and give you an update on how its been going... To my great surprise I'm completely off cigs now (see banner!). I was going to be all organised and decide when the Big Give Up day was going to be once I bought all the kit and tried out and found my fav juices... instead it just snuck up on me! From earlier posts you'll see I got a stinking cold - couldn't be bothered to go out and get tobacco and thought - "hell I can last half a day without baccy - will vape and pick some more up in the morning". I never did - many thanks for the nic strength advice - it made it possible and EASY. Still can't believe it!! As a summary to help fellow newbies, I got MVP2 from myepack - brill bit of kit - lasts me 3 days between charges (wasn't sure I'd like the box rather than tube shape - but it's great) Innokin VV/VW3 v3 from love-vaping (got the pen type - "10s" kit - one with a pen cap for easy out and about transport) - another great bit of kit Bauway drippers from ecigs4vaping (not really needed but I did find them very useful to test all the juices) Tanks - Iclear 30, Iclear 30s, Iclear 10s, mini protank2 - like all of them still haven't figured out if I prefer top or bottom coils lol Juices Basic Hangseng to keep me going from mr-ecig - 1.50 for 10mls - but postage is a lot so I buy several at a time Tjuice samples from Smoke Rainbow (lots!) Samples from Joose Juice Slowly narrowing it down juice wise. All the suppliers of kit and juice above have been great for me - very quick and good prices. No problems experienced so can't comment on their problem management. If it helps - was on 25gms of Golden Virginia a week. Am now on about 2mls juice a day of 24mg nicotine juice. Thanks to everyone for all your help - thanks to you I didn't make a mis-step kit wise; and your support got me off the cigs - me and wife very happy! Will post again with more questions and stuff for sure - but in a new thread so this one doesn't get too long! Only problem is I seem to be coming down with Shineyitis - yep feel a new thread coming on Cheers all

I've had probs for a couple of days too - but only on one pc - the other is fine. I have different DNS settings on each (got a stinker of a cold come on so am too out of it to check) - flushing the cache on the non-working one didn't help. Looks like someone's DNS servers in the chain aren't behaving Just checked - working PC - uses DNS 8.8.8.8 (google public DNS); non-working PC is not configured explicitly - i.e. just uses my ISP (Plusnet) defaults. My guess is that its not plus net's issue per se just that the are not being passed the right info to pass on to the end user (everything else resolves ok). Just my cold befuddled 2c - wouldn't explain why newdawn gets different results with different browser Who knows? - maybe trying 8.8.8.8 may help... Time for bed and cold medicine (Jack Daniels!)

Am enjoying the mvp2 (still running on the charge up from Friday) - unfortunately the new vv3 didn't turn up today At the mo the iclear is a little ahead of the protank - but I don't think I'm yet seasoned enough to really tell! Sadly I'm not smoke free yet - but have cut the rollups down to about half I think. Went a bit low on the nicotine (12mg) on my first juice (and t-juice samples) - was wary of taking in more than I usually do. However the bottles you kindly sent include an 18mg and a 24mg - so I will be able to give those a test and see how I go. Hopefully the new kit will turn up tomorrow - am intending to load up about 5 tobacco flavours in the tanks and have a proper comparison....

xs2man - just wanted to say thank you - your liquids arrived in the post today (that sounds wrong somehow...!) - I should be getting my new vv3 kit tomorrow; the 5 new tanks will be used for glorious tasting My wife said she really loved the smell of the Amaretto - however as she neither smokes or vapes she will have to make do with sniffing the bottle lol. Thank you kindly!

Thanks jackym - I plan to go for the VV3 as backup - heard good things about it here! With my massive experience of a couple of hours, can recommend the MVP2 Hi Karma - Yep I am a happy bunny! Thanks for the tip about the charging light - think it was mentioned somewhere on the forum here - so I remembered it when it became relevant ... that doesn't happen much these days

Hi DiscoDes - Yay - it came Popped it on charge - only needed 15 mins to get to full; watched some youtube so I knew how to put the clearos together (!) - then dripped some 12mg Dekang VA blend into the protank and the iclear30. .... WOW - only tried the cool protank so far - but WOW. Coughed a bit - but the taste and throat hit are pretty good Can't wait to try the highly rated juices! Will try the warmer Iclear30 shortly - yeehaaa Again thank you all for getting me to this point - you've been brilliant

DiscoDes - good news - I do like the pen-top idea. Haven't bought the vv3 yet - the plan is to use this as my backup kit - so will go straight to this 10s pack when the time comes (soon!) Waiting for my main mvp2 to arrive today so I can finally try vaping babs - thanks for the warning - have rechecked the product details on the love-vaping site and it does look ok - assuming they are good with keeping their web-site accurate!

Morning all - woke up sneezing at 0400 - so got out of bed to browse vaping bits rather than keep other half up... Was idly perusing vv3 kit at myepack then noticed they were out of stock of the black so started checking the other suppliers that have been mentioned in this thread (yep - looking for backup before main mvp arrives today!). Found 2 variants of the vv3: love-vaping.com/innokin-variable-voltage-e-cigs/143-black-itaste-vvvw-e-cigarette-iclear16-v30-starter-kit.htmllove-vaping.com/innokin-variable-voltage-e-cigs/153-innoking-black-itaste10s-vvvw-v3-starter-kit.htmlThe first one is exactly the same as has been referred to in this thread already - no probs there. Question - is the 2nd kit actually exactly the same battery as the first but with a 1ml clearo instead of a 1.6ml? The only reason I ask is that I quite like the idea of convenience of the "pen-top" of the 10s look for popping in my pocket for short excursions - looks to protect the otherwise exposed clearo a bit? Keeps pocket fluff out too.... I've never seen a top in any pictures of the vv3 16 kits; if it doesn't have one and (critically) the kits use the same battery, I was thinking of maybe getting the 10s kit and buying iclear16/mini protanks as required for it later? (which would preclude the use of the pen-top with those I guess) Things to think about at silly-o'clock in the morning

dave - I hope you're right! I am secretly hoping to get rid of the ciggies really quickly but haven't told my forebrain yet in case it panics bracken - thanks for the info about joose juice and tmax; have just dropped tmax a request - will let you know how that goes Roofer - thanks your tip about bestcigliquid - will def try those baccy liquids too. MVP2 sounds good - hope the postie is kind tomorrow! Looks as if I will have a good selection of tobacco juices to sample (ordered some samples of t-juice from smoke rainbow plus some hangseng (or was it dakang?) from myepack As always - thanks for your support and best wishes
