    How Confident Are We That These Are Actually Safe?

    If this is really worrying you - why not quit nicotine? Or, perhaps, go back to smoking those cigarettes that have been soooo proven to be safe! Julie

    Best gear to stock up on

    For me the juice wouldn't be No. 1 - atomisers would. I can make 0 nic juice from glycerine and flavouring and I can get nic from a patch or gum. I can't make an atomiser. Julie

    Anyone else shy about e-smoking in public?

    I keep my vaping as inconspicuous as possible when I'm in a public, non-smoking place. I am fairly sure that if vaping becomes better known here in the UK then it will also end up being banned. I like being able to vape in, say, Ikea without anyone noticing because it means I feel more...

    Strawberry flavouring

    It is an Asda's own brand flavouring. The reason I mentioned it here is that it does seem to be very difficult to find many different flavours here in the UK. Julie

    Battery question for a Novice.

    I think what people mean, and from my experience, is that a battery will last around 4 to 5 hours of actual use - I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I think in your situation I'd be tempted to take along a fourth battery, just in case. Julie

    Anyone have an idea on how to label carts?

    I've just started using peel-off border stickers (they were originally bought for crafting). Each sheet has loads on it and they come in lots of different designs. They work for me because I can wrap one small piece right around the cart, one or more around the atomiser (for juices that tend...

    How much tobacco did you use?

    I don't know the amount per day, but I was getting through around 100grams of rolling tobacco per week. I haven't quit completely yet, but now I'm down to around 25 grams per week. Julie

    Strawberry flavouring

    I was in Asda yesterday and noticed that they had strawberry food flavouring for 42p. I bought some and have added some to my JC Sweet Strawberry juice, which I found to be rather under-flavoured. It now has a really nice strawberry flavour. The ingredients list on the bottle consists of...

    LorAnn candy flavours

    I ordered from Barry Farm Foods few weeks ago and was initially charged $27.62 shipping on 21 bottles (to the UK). I got a very nice suprise when the package arrived a week or so later and I had been credited $13.32 on the shipping charge :). At the exchange rate for my CC at that time, this...

    UK resident - Newbie Questions

    This isn't a particularly UK/US difference question. I would suggest starting with 18 or 24mg liquid. I'm not sure where you've read that e-cigs.co.uk isn't recommended. Personally, I've had absolutely no problems with that site at all and would, in fact, highly recommend it. I think there...

    Can E-Cigarettes be more dangerous than normal ones for pregnant women?

    I am a child of the 60s. My mum smoked during pregnancy, as did the mums of a lot of my childhood friends. One thing I have noticed recently is that even though smoking is now seen as the most horrible, terrible, awful thing you can do whilst carrying a child, the number of children with...

    Australian ban; Egar illegal

    You all really have my sympathy. I only discovered e-cigs a few weeks ago and although I haven't yet completely quit analogues, I'm fairly sure I'm going to over the next couple of weeks. This news from Oz has meant me placing a very large order for juice today just in case something similar...

    I think maybe I've turned into a junkie

    I've spent £630.00 in just under 3 weeks! However, a lot of that was because I placed an order for a huge amount of juice today, plus some more spare atomisers, just in case the UK government try something along the lines of what has just happened in Australia. I haven't yet completely quit...

    Visiting my mum

    I went to visit my mum today. She has always hated the fact I smoke (she quit over 30 years ago and loves to tell me how easy it was to quit!). My DH had visited her yesterday to deliver Xmas cards and during the visit he had explained some things about the e-cigs. So I visited today and...

    Yuck!

    The only one I've hated so far is e-cigs liquorice. My current two faves are JC vanilla ice-cream and JC wild cherry. Julie
