    The new E-MiniCig frome-cig.com looks to me identical to the Loong Totem

    I made an order for the mini on the 5th October and received a email confirming the order but have had no communication since. After over 2 weeks and no delivery I wrote canceling my order. The money hasn't been refunded in over a week - though they took the money out on the same day the order...

    janty kissbox

    Thanks a million Ludo! Most generous of you. Looks like I'll be trying out a few flavours sooner than I thought ;).

    janty kissbox

    Thanks for the good wishes Kate. With snow forecast we might light a fire ... ;) Hell! It hasn't snowed here in October since the 1930's. Not that I remember - just heard it on the BBC.

    Question about Paypal

    I'm no expert Heart's Smoking but I've had more correspondence with PayPal than I ever wanted to. When it works its great - when it doesn't you end out talking to electronic switchboards and getting automated responses to your emails. There is no human interface to PayPal. This increases the...

    janty kissbox

    Kate - thanks for the reply - it's good to know that it isn't just my warped monoxide starved perception that sees the USB a weaker power source (for the Janty rig). Mind you - I'm using the USB as I'm writing and am happy with it. Come morning, I'll be unscrewing the battery from the charger...

    janty kissbox

    The AC 3-pin plug, lead and socket I got with my 901 fits the Janty charger as Kate suggests. When my Janty arrived (my first e-cig) with the 2-round-pin 'electric toothbrush' plug I was a little confused. I ordered a UK connection but there I was with only the bathroom to plug the thing in...

    halogen atomisers

    DC - perhaps you've a point and a lens could make a difference. I'll not be trying it - at short range the light causes spots on your eyes just looking at the laser dot but perhaps a highly engineered lens could cause heat. I do know that the laser is very heavy on batteries. I'll have a...

    The biggest thing I can't get over

    You're quite right Phil - the smoking addiction is very complex but extremely successful. I guess we should be thankful that the world's greatest minds haven't figured it out. If they'd found the answer it'd be included in every marketing campaign and I'd be drinking Coke/Pepsi morning, noon and...

    halogen atomisers

    I doubt laser technology is likely to provide any reasonable solution soon. I have a powerful laser hand held device (about twice the size of a fountain pen) that shines for miles (and has documentation that warns that the beam can cause heating. You'd need to be damned cold to notice!). I use...

    The biggest thing I can't get over

    Magwitch - I'd entirely agree with all you've said. The only thing I'd add is that "hit" and "nic. strength" are not the same thing - just 2 things someone intending to give up real smokes should be aware of. I OD'd on nicotine using my 901 with 36mg juice. I wasn't getting a hit and just kept...

    The biggest thing I can't get over

    I'm not sure if it's entirely down to liquid strength. Using Wicked 36mg (Virginia) in my 901 doesn't provide the hit that I get from using the same liquid in my KB Extended (with manual switch). The taste and vapour is similar with both devices but that all important hit only seems to happen...

    anyone try the new "liquid smoking" yet?

    I can't see it doing anything for me - I'm a collector of bad habits and don't need another one. Once tried Red-Bull and Southern Comfort with similar outcome to that advertised for this "liquid smoke" - it was nice - too nice! On a serious note - I think I'd like to know a lot more about...

    Best E-Cig?

    Firewire - I got the Janty KB Extended and a couple of 901b's. The manual switch on the Janty I've found much more satisfying - to the point that I've probably not given the 901 enough attention to be fair to it. With the 901's I got Totally Wicked (Virgina 36mg) and find it gives a much...

    When the e-cig brought tears to my eyes

    I'm afraid I don't trust myself to have the odd-cig - I'd end out smoking as much as I ever did while using the e-cig to fill in when I can't smoke. That's just me though - I know we're all different and I wish I had your self discipline Cass. Well done on making the change - it doesn't have...

    These damn cuts in my mouth..

    I haven't had this problem or heard of anyone else who has until now. But this does remind me of all my previous attempts at giving up that had my tongue developing what I could only call "canyons" - like those a kid's scooter leaves in your lawn. I just checked in the mirror - they're back! :(.

    What do you NOT miss about smoking?

    Thanks for posting that list Paige. I'm still in the early stages of having quit and was on the point of feeling sorry for myself - you know - those thoughts of "this is tough ..." etc etc. Your list has snapped me out of it ;). I'd add: Being able to stay in the pub and not having to...

    new member first 3 days

    Welcome to the forum Greyhound - I got my e-cigs just a few days before you. I've a Janty KB Extended and 2 901s. I started on Janty carts which were OK. The Janty liquid was better still (more of a hit) but then PillBox's Wicked arrived (Virginia 36mg) and it is in a different league - nicer...

    Janty thread - q&a

    Someone posted in an earlier thread that the auto-switch triggered whilst they were sailing. I can't remember if it was a Janty but as a sailor I find it believable. A rock concert once knocked one of my tooth fillings straight out once the bass guitarist started. Sailing never did that! I've...

    Juice priorities

    I decided "nicotine strength" the most import since its just coming to the end of my 2nd day vaping instead of smoking. If it wasn't for the nicotine I'd not have made it through the last 48 hours. If I last a month can I vote again and choose "Safety"? ;)

    anybody had trouble ordering from BestEcig.com

    Trog - I'd like delivery. I don't think companies should make false promises to bank-roll their ideas. They either deliver what they take money for or they get classified as a rogue trader.
