Hi everyone! Amazed by vaping!

[hesta]

Hi there, I have been lurking around on here for a little while so decided to join up. I had been considering an e cig for a little while so came on here for info.

Can't believe how awesome vaping is! I have been a 30+ cigarette a day smoker for a long time, probably since I was around 16, started smoking when I was 14, and to be honest never really seriously thought about the health risks until recently. I enjoyed occupying myself with smoking, so needed something to replace that was a healthier way to feed my nicotine habit. Bought a eGo tornado c battery and a mini nova last wednesday (23rd Jan) and started using it immediately. The speed of the switch over was almost instantaeous. Smoked 2 cigarettes on Wed after I bought it, and 1 on Thursday, none since. So from 30+ per day to nothing in less than 48 hours! I only initially bought it to reduce cigarette consumption, but the cravings just vanished!

So today I celebrate my first full week of not smoking in over 10 years, thanks to vaping!

This seems like a great forum, with lots of pleasent users, and I look forward to being part of the community!

Just as a side note, I am now realising that I have no back up, should my device fail, does anyone have a suggestion for a nice cheap unit (ideally stupidly cheap) that I can leave to one side in case of emergency, I am pretty broke due to buying my device and plenty of juice! Still cheaper than smoking!

Thanks everyone!

hi! congrats on making the switch! I'd suggest a vision spinner as ur main battery and use ur ego as a backup. the spinner's pretty cheap and will last you the whole day w/o charging. I just charge mine when i go to sleep. u can find one for $25 incl. s/h.

Thanks for the quick reply, I will have a look into the spinner, doesn't seem to be too much choice in where to buy them in the UK, no doubt a little time on google will yield some results though!

Hi, this is my first post after many hours of reading posts on this forum.
Congrats hesta on giving up smoking, I am hoping to do the same after many unsuccessful attempts.
Hopefully vaping will be my answer.

Hi and welcome.

And a big congrats on your first week!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hesta]

Thanks for the positive replies! Feels great to not be tarring up my lungs!

just have 2 kits ready for all times and a pass through charger

I'm thinking along this route, as I already have a pass through, and the 1000mah is lasting me through my work day and into the night, then an overnight charge. Only thing is that this batt is new, so I would imagine its gonna deteriorate over time. Think I will have to wait until next payday and do some buying

But there again, trying the adjustable voltage route sounds good. Too many choices, and from what I have read there are many, many more! I have a feeling I will be referring to information here very often!

Edit: Does anyone have a recommended UK supplier? I have bought my kit from totallywicked as they have an outlet close to me (10 mins away) so went there, is there anywhere I should be aware of?

Try Liberty Flights. They are a UK company (online sales) that also does business in the US. I've purchased from their US side with good results.

Hi, nice to see a fellow uk user! I'm new to vaping too, bought my ego on Thursday and have only smoked 4 cigs! (All in one night, a night out). I've got a liberty flights ego and so far it's been great, not that I know much. There's a totally wicked in the town centre and be been getting my juices from there, because they can all be trusted and sourced. But I too would like somewhere new to try from, ont limited juices!

Happy vaping

Hi and also congrats on your first week of sig freedom.

Get spare parts so you never have to go back.

 

[hesta]

Thanks for the comments all, been and bought some goodies from vape escape, nothing too fancy just some extra 510 batteries, some cartos, a tank, and a couple of different clearos (might as well get some testing done on different stuff ) should keep me good for a while, and now I dont have to worry if I get a prob with my current e cig!

The reason I bought from totally wicked was that it was local too, I am really enjoying their red bull flavour! I am currently trying some liquids I bought from vapology too, but they don't seem as flavoursome, but I suppose thats the risk in buying juices from a new place! I could have ordered them with extra flavour, but didnt Currently trying their cappucino, but it tastes exacly like blue ribands, which is no bad thing lol!

Spoke to the guy who runs vape escape via email, and he seems like a really nice guy, customer service like that means I am going to try their juices next, but need to slow down the expenditure a little, so I will get through the ones I've got first!

What TW flavour are you on?

 

[connor11]

I've been vaping totally wicked red bull through the day, it's awesome! 14mg. Also like grape through the day. I'm on a mix of caramel and vanilla (8mg, i temd to chain vape at night) now to go with my tea, British as I am

Do a forum search for posts by Chrissie. She frequents the UK subforum, and often posts lists of suggested UK suppliers.
