I don't personally see how njoy's tobacco flavored juices are going to get any kind of public acceptance when vaped in enclosed non smoking areas. (small rooms, auditoriums etc) I took a few small descreet vapes with minimum smoke as an experiment in a room full of people today and I was at the front of the room. After about 10 min, the people in the back of the room asked whoever was smoking at the front to stop. It was like cigarette smoke, maybe not as strong, but that kind of stale smell. I was later told. The odor lingers around and kind of built up in the back of the room . Is my changing to another flavour going to have any different effect? I wonder.8-o

vaping around playground outdoors. None of the other moms or dads even noticed-or cared. Great conversation starter though. The downside of public vaping is that kids think it's a toy cigarette and are intrigued with the glowing tip. Gotta keep their grubby hands away and tell them "hey it's not a toy."
Vaped in a coffee shop. No body stared. Nobody minded.

I dont openly vape in non-smoking areas. If i'm in a cinema, restaurant etc i'll just take a drag and hold it in and the vapour tends to dissapear. I just let out whats left through my nose.

You should get yourself a different cig that doesnt look like a real one to avoid all the quizzy kids. I actually prefer something something that doesnt look like a real cig so that people dont think i'm smoking in non-smoke areas.

The light is kind of stupid isn't it. Blink. Blink. Pause. Blink . Blink. Blink.Blink. Blink like when it goes all emo when the batts are running out. You'd have thought they might put the light where it can at least be seen by the user. They don't put your dashboard display outside your bloody car on the bonnet facing forwards do they:confused::D Must be a Chinese brain fart.

Well I've popped the cherry so to speak. Interesting flavour but it was either that or coffee. Not much choice really. Besides I drink far too much coffee for my own good. So you will understand that I'm not that desperate to smoke it as well:D
I'd give my left tit for some of that new fangled hot cinnamon stuff they have over there in the Good ol US of A, Superstargoddess vaped a review. I Want. I Want. I Want...

Mmmmm.... I love cinnamon rolls, chai, Altoids etc. I would probably go nuts for it. Can't one, mix up yourself??

From what I've read not all cinnamons are any good.
I want a good arrse kicking cinnamon vape along the lines of Dentynes Hot Cinnamon gum. If only it vaped as good as it chewed:D

You are a DOLL :D after my own heart! I used to stock up on that stuff when I visited SA! Bought them in boxes at Macro! I had forgotten about that. Have you ever tried Cinnamon Altoids?

Today, Guys and Dolls, I vaped through the Waterfront. I vaped in a movie (but not for long, because I fell asleep) and I vaped in one of those build-a-teddy- bear stores.
No looksies, except for a couple of bored sitting women waiting for sunset to end the Ramadan fast, shrunken eyes and all, but,no, nothing out of the ordinary. Nobody paid any attention. Place was empty. Mind you, I think my atomizer is on last legs because the steam is but a piddle.

I wonder if these cheaper refills are sacrificing quality. I bought a 80ml bottle off cig-e for R80 and found the liquid to be a bit sketchy. I was at the waterfront in Cape Town and walk passed the twisp.co.za kiosk there. 20ml for R249 is clearly more pricey but the difference in quality is clear. No after taste and there is definitely no smell.

I am still confused by the whole 'this versus that' liquid if, as Stephen says, ... nearly all liquid is coming from one main supplier .... then how can there be a difference in quality?
Myself, I can't say that I noticed a difference in quality, although there is definately a difference in taste and smell between the tobacco flavours from each. ... and the Twisp liquid tends to make me cough, [although I prefer the flavor and smell] The price difference is not 'a bit' but huge .. - I wish I could fathom it ....but, when Twisp replaced 10ml bottles selling at between R199 - R229 with double sized 20ml bottles for R249 it indicates the kind of profit they were making on the 10ml bottles ..... They also shout "Dutch, -not China" rather loudly ....but the last I checked they had not posted anything in response here on the forum in a different thread. [I can't even find that thread started by Twisp now]
Cig-e says the suppliers from which they purchase supply 80% of the e-liquid in the world [presumably the same supplier Stephen Rowley referred to]

It is difficult to know what's in the refills as there is no watchdog for these.
I do know it is possible to purchase, separately, some of the ingredients found in refill bottles from the pharmacy. Perhaps a rework of the contents is taking place. I am known to lean towards the conspiracy theory from time to time however the cheapest on the shelf is usual that way for a reason.
