    Yeah. Jason said he'll pass onthe benefits of him buying in greater bulk, but at those prices he can't fulfil the wrranty he's beenn giving.... which is fair enough! (They are exactly the same ones he's selling singularly with the warranty)

    Inexperience costs the most. I cut my liquid 50/50 with Glycerin now and I have a homemade DSE901 passthrough (I killed the switch with dripping) converted to a manual with a PC reset switch. I killed a couple of atomizers and batteries with dripping and cleaning and wasted tons of liquid trying to get correct filling methods with cartridges. I now drip 100% of the time and am really loving E-Cigs. The price of passthrough's and batteries are pretty steep and verging on rip-off status in my opinion and definately not recommended for drippers. PS/Ecigs.co.uk are doing sealed manual passthrough's (around £20) which I recommend anyone who spends a lot of time at home to get. I use my own homemade manual with the kensington battery pack and will be happy to stay this way for a very long time, probably cutting nicotine levels down further.

    i think it takes some confidence to start tinkering with other substitutes and inevitably i will go down that road! i just need to forget about 'ciggies' first and then work on reducing nicotine! its been a great 7 days since my last smoke and boy does it feel good.
    to be honest, i dont even mind spending more on vaping as long as it is in someway helping me stay smoke free.

    can i ask where u buy glycerine....?????

    Best,

    C.
    i am inclined to agree that the positives far outweigh any negatives and in terms of cost, i am already sending back my passthru and 1 battery because they are defective, i think the postage will be what gets us with the overseas companies!

    well , taking a peruse over to TW , I gotta say the 5 packs of atomizers or batteries are a bloomin great price .. no different to china Prices and you got the ease of being a UK supplier.

    If Jason keeps those packs available he'll do a stormin' trade with them. TW will certainly be the place I'll go for parts at them prices.

    Any chemist. Boots do a bottle for £1. I'm currently using 'Care' brand but I don't think it should make much difference which brand as long as it is just pure Glycerin. The only Ingredient should be Glycerin BP 100% with E422 mentioned somewhere.

    Those TW mutipack prices must be new, I've never seen them before and yeah they're great value.

    "TECC parts have a 28 day warranty, and that's a lot of juice"

    I cannot get TECC to respond to my emails concerning 3 defunct atomisers that lasted about 3 days each.

    Well, since China won't supply UK businesses with JOYE kit directly - only through their UK distributor (the name of which has already been mentioned) - prices are, pretty much, set by that distributor and what prices they're willing to sell to other businesses at.

    The only other way to get JOYE kit is to buy Janty - but, there again, that's already marked up twice.
    E-cigs are not "quit smoking" devices - they are an alternative way to smoke, with a much reduced risk profile.

    Depends what you call expensive you can get a 901 kit for £20 a pack of 5 atty's for £17 and juice for about £8

    That will last you about a month total cost £45

    Next months will be cheaper because you should get at least 2 mnths out of 5 atty's

    So not as expensive as cig's but must admit i have spent about £150 trying various ecigs juice ect
