Well so far today I have only smoked 4 cigs Normally I'd be nearing the 40 mark by this time of day so am feeling rather smug / chuffed / virtuous. Ordered some more juices today from Kev and Jason so looking forward to those arriving but the Dark Vapure seems to be keeping me on the straight and narrow. Mind you I have left the analogues in the car - that way if I get a craving I'll grap the riva because it's near to hand rather than go to the car (cos I'm a lazy git and all about convenience!) I just have to say to Jemima "1800 ciggies?!!!" That is some safety stash you have there. ETA: Weedav - how are you doing so far?

I know I was not drawing a cat but upon reflection at least I know how to draw a cat by drawing something that is totally different and not even an animal as such. ??? That sounds rather zen-masterish

First thing in the morning was always the hardest part for me, but now I can even make a brew before I start vaping - could never do that with a cig. I know exactly what you mean! I would never let myself take my cigs upstairs as I knew if they were by my bed I would light one up before I got out of bed! But over 90 mins so far with no analogues at all - I'm feeling quite chuffed. Normally I'd have been puffing away virtually non-stop like a little toxic smoke engine!

I VAPED! I AM A VAPER !? Managed to see most of one e-cig vid last night before the blinking netbook decided to give up the ghost and quit on me but I soldiered on and it's surprising what you can pick up in video tutorials without sound - actually it's not really - they are very boring without sound. Although not having heard even one vid all the way through, they may be very boring with sound - I just don't know. So I tried the BnH last night - just seemed very sweet to me so that will have to be put to one side for now and tried again later. Then shock, horror, major panic - at 10pm I realised I hadn't got any analogues in the house. Yes, I paniced and went through the usual smoker without cigs panic stations before I twigged I have an alternative - you'd have thought I realised that wouldn't you. So I switched to the Dark Vapure juice and that seems a little better, taste wise. Not as sweet as the BnH but still don't feel like I'm getting enough of a hit with it. But I've been up since 6.30 this morning and haven't gone screaming to the shop yet to get some analogues - that's a very good sign. I'd have had at least 6 analogues by now normally. So I need to figure out whether I am vaping in the best way to get the max effect from each drag - do feel as if I have to have a vape so regularly that I'll never not have the thing in my gob. At least with an analogue there was an end to it - you know when you've had your hit because there's no more cig to smoke! Just a bit harder to suss out with the e-cig. But I will persist. I am going to buy some analogues today although I will just get a pack of 10 I think - that way they are there to fall back on if I really feel I need one. I'm also going to order some more juice - looking for the darker / harsher tobacco flavours to start and I think I will up the nic level on some of them just to compare as I don't seem to be getting the hit I need. Especially as I won't (at least for now) be able to use it at work so I will need enough hit to get me through a couple of hours to start. Once I understand it better I will be asking if I can use it in the office but have a feeling it will be a no response. So that's my update for now. Thanks to all for the support and advice so far - it really helps. TTFN.

ooohh i'm really excited for you tizer hope you remembered to pop the batteries on charge so they will be ready and waiting for you Nooo! I didn't - I swear I read somewhere that you shouldn't if you're not around. So I didn't want to risk it. So here's today's Good News Bad News Update Good - I got the kit at lunch Bad - I didn't put a battery on charge Good - I got the juices Bad - I have no idea how to put them in the e-cig. (I was expecting a step by step guide to come with the kit) Good - There are useful video tutuorials to follow online Bad - The speakers on my so-called entertainment laptop are bust! Good - I also have a netbook with speakers. Bad - It's in the spare room somewhere aka black-hole. Allegedly there is a double bed in there but I can't see it! Good - I'm not back in work till tomorrow afternoon Bad - I've got a dentist appointment mid-morning and it's a 35 minute drive, one-way So battery on charge now - didn't even manage to get that right - thought it wasn't working - no lights came on. Was all set for some consumer complaining and then realised I'd plugged the adaptor in one socket but switched another socket on! Honestly I shouldn't be allowed out on my own. So going to have some tea and then I'm going to tackle the black hole and see if I can root out the netbook - you can guarantee that's going to insist on loads of blinking updates being installed before it starts working and assuming I can also find the power lead for it.

Well done Andy. As a newbie who hasn't even started my journey yet I am impressed - most of your post went whizzing about 6 feet over my head - hopefully it won't take too long for me to understand what it all means

Wahaaay! My order has arrived. Thanks Kev for the prompt delivery. Bad news is I'm only home for lunch - so I've got to go back to work soon. Oh well, it's something to look forward to this evening - sod's law though, the afternoon at work will drag now.

Tizer - love your avatar That's Little Dog and Big Dog (aka Wellington & Bella). I adopted them just over 2 years ago (they were 13 and 12 at the time). Sadly we lost Little Dog in March this year aged 14 and 9 months but Big Dog is still going reasonably strong especially as she is a 14 years 3 months old boxer/rottie cross.

I can guarantee there will be questions for you all in the future and judging by the way this thread has gone, some of them might even be vaping related :-)
