Hello all,

after maybe 2, 3 month of reading almost everything in this forum i made the leap and ordered my first ecig from steve.... a pen style... i sort of hate the ones that looks like a cigarette.... we're doing something else than smoking... why it should look like one..:confused: no idea.... anyway.... a week later (somewhere in the middle of last month) I've got it... and i started to cut back the cigarettes slowlly.... and i took the decision to actually go electronic after the last one from the last pack that i had in the house.... that was Nov 30th... but two days latter the atomizer gave up on me.... i tried cleaning it, blowing it, looking inside with a magnifier, swear at it, but no luck.... it was dead.... i had another order to arrive but it did not show up on friday.... and now what.... i said to myself that maybe i can ride off the day or two until I'll get the spare parts.... yeah wright...:evil:... i went and bought a pack of cigs and smoked my brains out until Monday noon when i found the package in my mail box.... and I'm tobacco free since....


going back to the idea that vaporing is not smoking do you know if any of the manufacturers have any designs plans to make them in other shapes than a cigarette? personally i would much prefer to be totally different... we're are not smokers any more.... we are pioneers of a new trend and it should look like that.... this device is changing our life in public... we can be back socializing and not feel like rats in a corner seeing the exterminator comeing....


just a way to say hi and thank you all for a major change in my life....

Hello and Welcome,

I think Janty are coming up with something next year, there are some blurred photos kicking around the forum. Also I have a screwdriver, that certainly doesn't look like a cigarette, crack pipe or detonator perhaps.

I'm with you on this one, I really want something to look VERY different from an analogue cig. Loongtotem are showing a thing called a V11 but no prices yet and not many people enjoy ordering from them.

Cheers

Pete

j_royall I have to agree. i'm doing this because i want to keep smoking without the hassle in public, without the 4000 additives in analogs, and most importantly (for me at least) no more nasty ashtray smells lingering on my clothes, house, breath, or car.

i will say though, colors, finishes and LED-wise, I would love to see some new designs. shapes I'm not too concerned about. i like my e-cig to look like a cig. i would love a lightweight long-lasting battery e-cig in the traditional cigarette shape.

I think it would be better for manufacturers to concentrate on improving performance of the things already out there, rather than designing weird and wonderful contraptions (unless that turns out to be the only viable option).
I haven't had many problems after six weeks, apart from one dead batt, one dodgy one and one dead atomiser....so I have something to look forward to in the very near future. I managed to coax a classic atomiser back to life today after almost throwing it away, so a few quid saved there. They will probably die all at once.
 
Welcome,

There are more coming everyday.
Said before, Janty supposedly has a different one coming.
You have the Screw Driver.
The Ratchet (pipe)
Several Flashlights
A couple different tethered power packs
The Pen styles of course.
and i have even seen a Rubber Duck :D (no kidding)

You wont have to worry about them looking like a cigarette.
