Hi Guy's

I started vaping in November and got to say I love it, still smoking the cancer sticks but have went from smoking 20-30 a day to now smoking 19 on average rarely more and occasionally less. Like most first time users (according to the posts on here anyway) I have been using cig alike models, unlike most first-time uses I wasn't particulary bothered about something that looks and feels like a cig- seems a bit futile trying to replace a habit with something that feels exactlly the same thing. Anyway I started with freshcig and from the start I loved it and could see myself gradually cutting down and stopping then three things happened - both batteries died, we had a day of gale force winds (hurricaine bawbag) and my Grandmother died. Whilst I waited on the replacement batteries my routine got disturbed I also tried Skycigs but I didn't like them. Also during this time I messaged the friend who introduced me to vaping to see what she reccomended she reccomended TotallyWicked - OMG their website scared the life out of me too much choice , liquids refilling cartridges how do you even know how to start ? The replacements for the faulty batteries came and I started vaping again and started stocking up for Christmas. Christmas morning (possibly still merry from Xmas punch ) I smashed my usb charger oops good thing I had a spare that night I smashed the spare possibly for the same reason, don't judge me it was Christmas and I had to wait until after the Holidays to continue my vaping despite having a full stock of batteries and cartridges frustrating , anyway lesson learnt no use having spare, spare everything but chargers.

Anyway when life started to return to normal I started to realise that if I want to stop smoking altogether I need to move on to something a bit bigger, I also tried e-lites and counted up the amount of "cigarettes" it equated too which was 18 rather than the 40 they advertise, kudos to them for being availiable in real shops rather than e-shops tho and I do like the taste I'm finding the cartridges in the cig-u-like models last no where near as long as they are "supposed" too in terms of cigs or money reading some of the threads on here I am starting to realise why but all the threads I have read so far mention model numbers rather than retailers and I have no idea where to start if I am going to upgrade my vaping needs.
Also worth noting I did fall for one of the "free trials " last night alarm bells rang when the add showed up in my inbox but my vaping friend "liked" their page on facebook so I thought it would be ok , I did however have the common sense to use a visa electron card that won't authorise payments if no funds availiable and no funds will be availiable as I don't use account.

Anyway dodgy sites aside can people reccomend uk sites and what they sell. I'd rather not deal with liquids straight away but from what I've seen you can get pre-filled cartriges and use liquids when more confident. I'd also like a reasonable timescale for how long a battery should last none of this six months when its actually two weeks nonsense. Oh and the same for atomizers (I haven't gone there yet but from what I understand these are the reasons why my batteries keep failing and life is better with a threepart) .

Oh and if it helps guide me I'm loving Strawberry flavours !

Some guidance really appreciated , sorry about my long post I think its a reflection on my confused state of mind

Thanks

Kirsty
