I think I have enough supplies for a couple of months barring about $20 for atty's.
Hopefully by then I should have turned the huge deficit into a positive.
Must confess really loving my new toys. Nice to have a hobby that she whom must be obeyed supports lol
She has started rolling her eyes as vape mail appears but she is still smoking so I can roll mine as she get's back from the local store.
I never really expected vaping to turn into a hobby but hey as long as it keeps me from smoking it is all good.

Happened to me at week 3 and again week 6.
Only for a couple of days but as it has happened before know it is likely to happen again and of course that I can get through it.

A colleague of mine at work has expressed an interest in vaping No matter how hard i explain the benefits of a bigger battery she is convinced she wants a ciggie a like I have sent her the folling link www.safercigs.co.uk/Intro_Vapour_PRO/p705283_4307948.aspxAlthough she would like cartos that can be filled with her own choice of juice. I have seen orange cartos at Health Cabin but they appear to have an 808 fitting. Are they suitable for this? or is there another combo of white battery and orange blank cartos that i can point her in the direction of Thanks Show her this. Should fix that faux cig fixation or at least when she does change to a bigger battery you can say "told you so". In a completely adult way of course.

Please forgive me my artistic license.
Not far off though lol
So 8 weeks ago I thought I would try a PV. Bought an Ego C. Hmm battery life is a bit iffy so bought a pair of Ego 18650's, all good for a couple of weeks. Wonder what variable voltage is about ? Bought a VV Altoid Mod. These bottom feeders, while having a truly dodgy name, look interesting....enter VMod XL. Ohhhh they are launching a Mini ProVari with a blue screen no less, hold on I haven't got a normal one....better have both and make the ProVari black with a red screen and extension.
Someone please cut up my bank card Zenesis's will be available soon without pre-order.
You have been warned ! It will happen to you !

Had this happen to me a couple of times.
Just change juice, drink a ton of water and keep getting that nic and you will get through it.
Dis-heartening I know to have your favourite juice taste of nothing but I used the opportunity to get through some of my less favoured juices so all wasn't lost. And I really knew when my taste buds came back to life lol

It may say Orlando but it is rural Orlando.
A Penny Farthing is a bit advanced....compared to some of the pick ups I see daily.

That had my nearly crying with laughter.
Anyhoo welcome !
Just an fyi...apart from some European and US E-Cigs that have higher specs of one sort or another therefore cost. At least 90% of e cigs come from China so really you didn't get a knock off.
If this takes off for you in a few weeks terms such as variable voltage, 18650, carto, tank, atty, nic, Lavatube, Provari, Buzz, Box Mod, VG and PG are all going to become familiar to you !
Good luck and remember have fun !

Hi !
I started vaping as an attempt to reduce my smoking. I had never seriously tried to quit before.
After tinkering around and getting the nicotine level right, juice flavour right and equipment right without much conscious thought I just stopped smoking.
Vaping satisfies me more than smoking did. Made it a redundant process as I was getting the nicotine I am addicted to in a more pleasurable way.
There was no withdrawal. No pangs. No hassles. When I got my Ego I went from 20+ a day for 30+ years to 1 or 2. Took a few weeks to get the nic right and stopped.
Some far cleverer than me and managed to get it right immediately and stopped or more likely wanted to stop smoking. Ermm truth to tell I didn't. I liked, strike that, loved smoking but last week stole a cig off my wife and put it out after a few drags as it was just kinda bland compared to my juice.
This is just my experience. Everyone is different. I suspect I would have gone down this route far earlier if I hadn't of moved over here as cigs are 2.90 Sterling a pack. No pound sign on the keyboard.

Just to bring this to peoples attention.
I only started using an atty last week and came across the original thread. Tried it and I am sold.
This takes the pain out of dripping. For those that want vaping to be more similar to a cig experience just pop one bonut in and drip 3 - 4 drops and bang there is your 10 - 15 min cig break.

Hi !
Just to put your mind at rest about kids. I have the....pleasure of having 3 "bonus" kids and a couple of my own.
I rarely smoked in the house but after a lot, like 2 weeks worth, of reading I have no issues about vaping in the house. Ok I live in Florida so it ain't that cold most of the time so going outside isn't a hardship. Apart from the mosquito's perhaps.
Hmm any recommendations for an anti mossie vape ? Strangely don't feel like vaping Deet. I feel another Google coming on !

I did try one and it was OK but after trying thought that must be because it was stored upside down most of the time. Strangely no leaking.
But I was happy, they sell atty's for $5 a go so took advantage of that.
Must learn not to buy everything just because I haven't used it. After all I am certain a Penny Farthing seemed a good idea but no need to buy it.

Not certain but think it depends on filling.
If you drip it in think that the first few vapes will be 8mg then you will go through some juice that has mixed and end with 20mg.
Condom method should mix it up pretty well but that would be at about 14mg if the liquid split is 50/50. 20mg + 8mg = 28mg/2 =14mg. Of course it won't be a 50/50 split so wouldn't really worry about it lol

On ECF I have one of those sig banners that kindly informs me that I have saved $156.77.
I have now spent $730 in the 24 days and 10 hours since I started vaping.
Hopefully, yeah right, apart from juice that should calm down now.....till that Provari and Buzz get too tempting.

Went to the local flea market and vastly over paid for some Ego Visions.
Have to say great throat hit at 3.2 volts. That said the flavour is pretty underwhelming for far. But I am only a quarter of the way through the first tank there could be some run in factor.
Made a serious mistake and picked up the Ego W cartomizer as well. I just can't seem to get on with top feeders. Chuffing along quite happily and yuk. There is no warning at all. Turn it upside down and all good for a while then....yuk. Thought I would fix it by carry the sucker upside down but it leaked on me. $13 in the bin.

My "bonus" kids had a thing about them when I moved over.
It took a while for them to understand that I really, honestly, truthfully had never seen them before visiting the US.
But, but, but they are made in England they said. So was I was my immediate response but I seem to be here now.
