Oh ((((((((((guys)))))))))) - what kind, thoughtful replies - THANK YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH.

I felt such a looser :-[ starting this thread.

Relieved to hear you think this might help others Jaki. Obviously a lot of folk try vaping, don't take to it etc, so, of course we don't get to hear their views & 'what went wrong' 'cause they don't register (mostly) & tell us.

My background to all this is that I've been 'at the e cig', with a will, & no mean degree of enthusiasm since JANUARY !!

I have many many small juices, as I wanted to try loads when I first started. The only ones I like & that 'do anything' for me are the tobacco flavours (apart from cigar - yuk!) But that's cool 'cause I like several of the tobacco ones.

I have every strength from 14mg (my lowest) to 36mg (which makes me cough violently on every 'draw') I have PG & VG in different strengths & find both ok.

I use the 901 & the 510, both of which I like. My fave is the 901 passthrough as it avoids messing about!

I never really liked my SD.

I have smoked daily 50++++ silkcut for y e a r s (started on No6 when I was 12!!) Never rolled a roll up.

Won a very long battle with illness in my teens (ashtray next to my hospital bed in those days except when the oxygen was around), had lots of ops (smoked outside). Had last big surgery in Dec 09 (always self discharge these days, as I crave a proper smoke so badly) Lead a very stressful life (like a lot of people).

Just had some more pretty bad news (re health).

I wanted, as Raggie said, e cigs to be my new ciggies - passionately (-an alternative way of smoking). LOVE my ciggies (FAR too much) - hate my addiction.

I'm very strong willed & disciplined in so many other areas of life, yet fail in this. I don't understand why the compulsion is so exaggerated.

Maybe, as Foxy says, there's something else in cigarettes I'm addicted to. After all, there are enough substances to choose from!

Maybe the rollie idea would work, instead of silkcuts.

Will NOT just give up on vaping - I make myself replace some cigs with it every day.

Lovely when I meet Lynda, as I smoke & vape & she's so non judgmental of my duality. It renews my resolve every time - till the following day!

Thanks for your replies & patience. I know people who think, for goodness sake, just throw the blasted things away & stop smoking! I wish I could - I so want this to work when everything else has failed.

6 months part vaping & struggling
lolli

((((((Chrissie)))))) So very sad for you.
To lose a best friend is heartbreaking.
Thinking of you xxx

Hi hanow James will be along soon i'm sure
Why not try, say, 3 small bottles of different tobacco flavours, to start with?
I'm looking forward to ordering some tobacco flavours from him myself - they're def my favourite

Hi Gilly. A passthrough replaces the battery of your e cig SO - you take your cart & your attie and attach to a passthrough, instead of the battery. THEN you plug your passthrough into a power supply, EG computer port & no more battery running out on you or recharging

(((Nana))) - not at all You've done BRILLIANTLY You deserve to be over the moon. Many congratulations.

Your complete success & that of others is something to celebrate!

Oh (((Kath))) - Chrissie is exactly right. I was just worried that with several new people & several threads, it would all be a bit confusing
Just wanted it to be as easy as poss for you guys to get your info in one place.
I know I was addled with so much info when I first started
Took me ages to decide what to buy - almost too many options
Important thing is you've made a choice & ordered - congrats
Do update us with progress

Thinking of you ((((Lilac & your son))))

Really hope everything goes well for him - poor love.
