Aah, thanks so much for the welcome's! And thanks for all the advice - as soon as I get my next pay (yes, I am always broke!), I'm going to get started. ps. Having a horse and smoking 20 a day are expensive hobbies!! I definitely couldn't say I would stop straight away as I am just so addicted and have weak will power...but I'm hoping the steady approach will work for me - some of my smoking problems are related to boredom I think ie: I nip out of work every hour for a cig...so think I will still continue to do this with the e-cig at first and then try to break that habit as I go along... Once again, thanks everyone, so nice to 'meet' you all! No wonder you are always broke lol. Keeping a horse is an expensive hobby. Welcome first of all and second if you smoke 20 cigs a day in UK thats about 40 squid a week so I would advise you to buy a decent ecig. Something like a Tornado, Ego, or Riva as mark my words if you buy a little 510 or 901 it won't be long before you get fed up charging batteries as I did and a lot of others who may or may not admit it. So spend a little bit more, get a decent ecig and buy some sample e juices from James and you will save money. Just my opinion of course and others may not agree. Good luck in your endeavours whatever you decide. Ken.

I would say again as I have said before that I don't think there is any need of immediate panic in regard to stocking up too much stuff especially if you don't have the brass to do it.
The wheels of governments and bans turn slowly and in the worse case scenario there will be plenty of bargains out there as suppliers will want to off load their stock quickly.
Just my thoughts of course but --- DON'T PANIC.
Ken.

That's the fab thing about vaping, I'd lost a stone through re-starting smoking and that was one of the reasons I was reluctant to stop (again) I've lost almost another stone in the two months I've been vaping, I find it a bigger appetite supressant than the analogs... vaping sweet stuff completely kills my craving to eat it! I knew you would say that Lindsay. Seriously I have a friend who does not smoke but asked if she could have a vape of my vannila to see what it tasted like. She loved it and is now considering vaping on no nic as she reckons that this would be the answer to her sweet cravings. I think she has a fair point and I also think it would work. Vendors take note. Ken.

Has anyone tried any of her juice? I've just placed a rather expensive but delicious sounding order of... Snickerdoodle Cookie Blueberry Muffin Butterscotch Caramel Cheesecake Raspberry Bavarian Cream Fosters Banana Coffee French Vanilla French Toast Orange Dreamsicle Pecan Maple Doughnut Yum! Wow You def have a sweet tooth Lindsay. Just as well these juices don't affect your figure. Ken.

I do wonder how much the 'sexy' website adds to the appeal and I suspect all of us experiment with juice suppliers to find our personal perference - I know I certainly have! My top 4 that suit me for taste/vapour production/throat hit have to be: James OK Smokey TW Tsi The one supplier who's juice I've not overly got on with has been ENJuice - but I bought their ValueVape range, doubtless the Premium is more satisfactory, but I'll make my own concoction so it won't go to waste, Strange my top three order are exactly the same for good juice. I did buy crap juice from one other supplier (It was not I have to add Tsi ) Ken.

This has to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. Thisis a true story from the WordPerfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for 'Termination without Cause.' Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they record these conversations!):
Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?' Caller: 'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.' Operator: 'What sort of trouble??' Caller: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words Went away.' Operator: 'Went away?' Caller: 'They disappeared' Operator: 'Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?' Caller: 'Nothing.' Operator: 'Nothing??' Caller: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.' Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?' Caller: 'How do I tell?' Operator: 'Can you see the 'C: prompt' on the screen?' Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?' Operator: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?' Caller: 'There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept anything I Type.' Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator??' Caller: 'What's a monitor?' Operator: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?' Caller: 'I don't know.' Operator: 'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??' Caller: 'Yes, I think so.' Operator: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall. Caller: 'Yes, it is.' Operator: 'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one? ' Caller: 'No.' Operator: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.' Caller: 'Okay, here it is.' Operator: 'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.' Caller: 'I can't reach.' Operator: 'OK. Well, can you seeif it is?' Caller: 'No.' Operator: 'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?' Caller: 'Well, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's dark.' Operator: 'Dark?' Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.' Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.' Caller: 'I can't.' Operator: 'No? Why not?' Caller: 'Because there's a power failure.' Operator: 'A power ... A power failure? Aha. Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff that your computer came in?' Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.' Operator: 'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.' Caller: 'Really? Is it that bad?' Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.' Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?' Operator: 'Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer!'

I blow the new atties out until all the primer fluid pretty much disappears. Then I dry burn for a few seconds > then drip a couple of drops on the attie & puff on it as if I was lighting a pipe. That usually sorts the problem out. This is the best and easiest explanation that I have seen so far for the treatment of new atties. Good on ya Hissie. Ken.

Only people of a certain age will get this one! The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director," she answered. "Interesting," the newsman thought. He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her early 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now in her 80's, a funeral director. The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers. She smiled and explained, "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."
