I never used to see anyone else apart from my converts......
But - saw someone outside work the other day, said "snap" and spotted a fellow vaper with a mod in Newbury when visiting my Grandson.
Saw a couple of Ego combis in our local town last week.
Girl at work reported she saw several whifflers at Alton Towers last week - numbers are definitely on the up.

Mine shipped 22.5.13, arrived 3rd June.
I like it but still use my Spinner during the day. Find it too heavy to use when driving (said this before, I have tiny hands, size 2 in a shoe).
This will be great for hols though and the length of charge is great. I am using it in the evenings at home. And I have been using the iClear 16 for a while (and love them) so 2 more are a real bonus.

My torch, razor blades and clearos arrived today. Shipped on 17th May!
I got the Cree torch at around a fiver - for letting the pup out at night for a wee in our dark 100ft garden. Looks great and uses my 18650 batteries from my unused old Lava Tube.
Let's see how long the iTaste takes.....!

Great news - you'll look back in 18 months as I do now and still marvel that you have given up ciggies! I have honestly never been tempted by normal fagerettes since my first day with the Riva.
Such a clever, successful way to give up smoking - so glad I found them and this forum.

And me. Have often thought it is like someone smoking a pipe - never did this with ciggies.

I prefer Haze at 20%.
It is very reminiscent to me of Vermillion River, which I like.

I started for health and cost reasons.
I know I could not go back to cigs now as I hate the taste (I never did like it really, which is very odd) - tried a puff of one about 4 months after I stopped and it made me heave. I'm around smokers still, at work and home and it never, ever bothers me. So I feel confident I wouldn't re start, even after almost 40 years of them.
The only thing that gets me nostalgic is the smell of the smoke of a freshly lit ciggie - I think my brain associates it with pleasure.
If I were new to vaping though, and it were as expensive (or more so) as cigs, I'm not sure I would have started.....

For many years, I worked BH, Xmas and weird hours as a nurse.
I now am still a Reg Nurse but work in a private home care Company assessing client need and training staff. I get every BH off and Xmas.
Love the Christmas off but would rather work BH and have the time off when I choose.
Having said that, am off this week, Grandson is staying and we had a lovely day on the beach yesterday, a mile from my own door. Would not dream of travelling much further!

My friend at work was on Silk Cut Ultra, about 15 daily, uses 18mg juice (I mix it) and uses 30 - 40 mls weekly.
I used to smoke full strength cigs, 20 - 25 daily and use 18mg juice and about 20 - 25 mls per week. We've both been whiffling about 16 months and can do so at our desks at work, so same amount of opportunity (which is pretty constant!).
I started her off on 11mg juice, but it was too low. Think it just proves we're all different - it does mean though, when advising new starters, I always tell them to not worry too much about strengths of liquids and to experiment a bit if they feel the need - the guides are exactly that, a guide. I was lucky - started on 18mg and it suited me right away!

Thinking about it, I used Graham Cracker, Popcorn and Apple.
Overall 20% flavour, with 40% each GC and Popcorn and 20% Apple in the flavour mix, if that makes sense.
Worked for me! Was close, not exact but near enough to do me.

I've tried to get close to VR with Apple (Kentucky Applewood? - can't remember!) and Capella Popcorn worked well for me as the base, surprisingly.
