Hi Guys, Thanks so much for the warm welcome, its much appreciated.
Nightshadow thats the brand ive been using, thank you for posting that, I have been using the tobacco version so the red tips. cant believe i have thrown loads of tips away
I suffer from Anxiety so quitting smoking was a big deal for me! I wasn't sure what was in the e cigs but it must be better than the chemicals in my Marlborough lites,lol
Does anyone know what E-liquid I can use?is it safe? do I buy it on Amazon? what strength do I buy? and do the little E-liquid bottles come with the little tube to drip them into my old tips like the bottle in the video kindly posted by Nightshadow?
That's is a lot of topics/questions, more than I can type up for the moment. I would suggest you go to this thread, and read most of the sicky posts (sticky= a pin on the right side)

You can use any type of e liquid you choose. If you have any local vape store that is where I would suggest you start. Here we have many that allow you to taste them before you buy, same goes for trying out bigger devices.
The most important thing (for now) is to ensure you get the right strength of e liquid to suit your habit.
If using the device you currently have at a guess I would say anywhere from 12 mg, through 16 mg to 18 mg depending on what type of analogs you used before, (lights/regulars/non filter etc) and how many pack)'s) per day you used.
If for instance you were a lights smoker, at a pack or less per day, then the lower range of mg should do you.
On the other hand if you smoke 4 packs of non filters a day, you may need 24 mg! I smoked lights also (1-2 packs a day), and was ok with 12-16 mg ranges, you may be different however.
It is ok if you need to try a few before you dial it in just right to suit you. If your mg is too high, you will know if you are overdoing it if you get light headed, etc. If it is too low, you will be craving an analog.
There is no guarantee vaping is %100 safe, but there is a %100 guarantee smoking is NOT. What I can tell you is I personally feel vaping is at least 95% safer than smoking. Cigarettes have 4000+ chemicals, and for sure cause cancer, and a plethora of other health issues, some I experienced first hand. E liquid has FAR less things in it than cigarettes. PG and or VG, PG is used in hospitals as a carrier for inhalable drugs. VG is used in fog machines at parties, special effects etc. then nicotine which you can taper off to 0 eventually if you like. Finally we come to flavorings, and this is imho the only area for any potential concerns. I do know there are a lot of people out there who are vaping well over 30-60ml of juice PER DAY. I have not heard any of them died from it. I would struggle to vape more than 2 ml a day myself, and with the type of ecig you are using it is likely you may only use 1 ml a day. Many people here easily go thru 4-10ml a day at least.
I can tell you that as a smoker I used to get frequent colds, add in chronic sinus problems (since then bored out with an auger) that cold usually turned into the flu, then bronchitis for a month of hell.
Since I stopped smoked via vaping, all of that went away. My sense of smell and taste are vastly improved, and I breathe easier. If i get one cold a year it is rare.
All e-liquid (unless pre loaded into a cartridge like the ones you have) comes in a bottle of some sort. Some have dripper tips like the video, others come with a bulb type glass dripper similar to a turkey baster but tiny.
My best suggestion: Just browse the internet for e juice shops local to you, then pop in to one and tell em you are a new vaper and need help selecting an e juice. It is what they do. They may be able to let you sample some different flavors. You may want to start with tobacco as it is similar to what you have been used to. But there are MANY yummy flavors to try that you may end up liking much more. I wouldn't vape a tobacco flavor anymore unless you paid me a LOT of money to do it. Otherwise check the link in my first post above for UK based shops, postage will be less, as well as shorter shipping times.
