Hello from Glasgow

[Cazzy]

Its not often something this big gets past me but I only just stumbled across e cigs today

I've spent a good part of today researching and this site has been so helpful, well done guys. The video reviews from 'the hat guy' (sorry can't remember your name :O) were really useful.

I've decided to try the classic e-cig, i'm a menthol ciggy smoker so will opt for the minty/menthol cartridges.

I'm really excited about trying this, i've tried just about everything on the market i'm sure but this sounds like it could be the product for me, so fingers crossed. I'm not expecting to give up right away, if even at all but hopefully in time I may just be tobbacco free

Welcome !! You won't regret it, I tried everything to give up tobacco and nothing worked, but the e-cig, no problems at all. I really cant believe I haven't smoked a cigarette for a couple of weeks now.

There are plenty of good suppliers recommended on this board, in particular,

Electronic Cigarette | Free Yourself... | e-cigs Welcome and

The Electronic Cigarette Company (UK) Ltd.

Good luck !!

Hi Pete and thanx for the welcome.

Did you stop smoking cigs right away or was it more like weaning off. I'm trying not to imagine that i'll quit right away so that i'm not disappointed if I don't but its interesting to read that so many ppl just never went back to smoking.

 

[PeteMcArthur]

I intended to wean myself off gradually but it turned out to be a complete stop. I decided to use the e-cig during the day to see how I got on, but there were so little symptoms of withdrawal on the first day, I didn't light up a real cig. After three days I had no cravings at all for real tobacco. I'm still a nicotine addict, just one that doesn't smoke tobacco

I hope in a few months to gradually reduce the strength of the liquid I'm using and who knows, I might just stop altogether.

Sounds great Pete, what e-cig did you opt for?

Hiya Kit, thanx for the welcome

That's quite a long story... At first I hadn't discovered this forum and suckered myself into buying a Gamucci super-mini. This was expensive junk, it is not the same as everyone else's super-minis, expensive carts, difficult to refill, bad move. Tried it then gave up on e-cigs for a few weeks until I discovered the advice here

I then moved a generic 901, it was / is great, still use it. I have since got a black classic from e-cigs, excellent device, then a Janty Kissbox classic, expensive but different. Loads of vapour, less kick but more taste.

As you may gather I'm a bit of a gadget freak, you'll get lots of different advice here, my best bet would be to go with one of e-cigs 901 (mini). Get a spare battery and atomiser as well.

Thanx again Pete, it was the 901 I had my eye on. Won't be ordering for two weeks so its not set in stone yet.

When I saw ecigs for the first time yesterday, I was so sure I'd want one that most resembled a 'real' cig but have since decided that its probably not the best idea to go on looks, although I imagine i'll get a few different types eventually if I find they work for me (i'm gadgety myself ).
