Noob with Questions

[OREGATO]

Hey guys, I'm new here, name is William from the republic of Ireland and just have a few questions, I'm 23, smoke around 20 - 25 a day and really wish to give up.

Have tried a few times but not that successful, however, I'm willing to give these e-cigarettes a try, I know that its not a tool to help stop smoking, but I think I'm willing to try it as I've read in a lot of places that its not full of the harmful chemicals, so it must be at least a little bit less harmful than the 'analogue' ones.

Basically my questions are as follows:

1. Can any of the United Kingdom guys and gals please point me in the right direction to what website or online shop I can purchase these from?

2. Menthol, I understand that there is different flavors, I normally smoke consulate cigarettes or Marlboro green so would really stick with a menthol type cigarette.

3. What make/model? As with anything I suppose, there seems to be a huge selection of different brands out there. Can anyone point me in the right direction, I'd prefer a mini, but something that looks as close to and feels as close to the real thing in my hand.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for the help.

yes,thats the refill liquid...but ive just looked,and smokesters out of stock for the menthol liquid and the white eco pack...so on to plan B...

theres a seller called pillbox38 on ebay...hes another good supplier...he also runs www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk


you can buy good menthol eliquid there...

and his ecig site is
The Electronic Cigarette Company (UK) Ltd.
but id buy from his ebay store first...its much cheaper...

My 2 penn'orth - check out Intellicig. UK based,great menthol carts and even better customer service. You'll find that they're happy to chat about what you want - give John a call. They're a kind of supermini - I use these and a 901 from Pillbox (and soon will be trying a classic penstyle from him). Totally Wicked e-liquid is very good - if you get the strong stuff then cut it 50/50 with glycerine for safety and lots of vapour! And no, I don't work for either of them - just a very happy end-user

Pillbox doesn't have any more cheap white DSE901 minis on his ebay site, I've just had a look but here is a link for the black one if you want to have a look - BLACK MINI ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE STARTER KIT+10 CARTS on eBay, also, Quitting Smoking, Health Care, Health Beauty (end time 02-Dec-08 00:09:36 GMT)

You don't need loads of cartridges to start off if you get some eliquid to refill.

i would recommend a mirage e cig which is almost exactly the same size as a regular ciggie. it produces lots of vapour and the menthol cartridges give you a real good throat kick. i got mine from ebay for 39.99 and it came with 2 batteries, atomiser, charger and 50 menthol carts. he has a shop as well at miragecigarettes.co.uk

How long have you had yours Igetcha?

[Chrissie]

OREGATO, I'm also new to this forum but have been using an e-cig for just over 4 months & it has to be the best thing I have ever bought.

I initially bought a super & loved it. However I have since bought a mini (DSE901) & it is even better

[OREGATO]

Thanks lads for all the replies!! its been a long time since i've found a forum this friendly and helpful!

Just to let you guys know, I went with ecigs from the uk as i've heard there is an active member on here!

so far i've only bought the start kit, the 901 for 30 pounds which i thought was a very good price.

The funny thing is, the first time I heard about the e cig was at a show type event here in dublin, a company called gumacci or something, but they were quite expensive.. i had another look around on the internet and found this place!! great site lads thanks for all the help!!

also, just curious, but how are people finding ecigs on their wallets? are you guys actually saving a bit of money??

in ireland, a pack of 20 is now over 8 euros.. which means that i'm spending close to 60 euros on cigs for the week!! have you guys saved money??
