Hi and welcome to ECF and congrats on your decision. Chrissie, who's also from the UK, should be along shortly with suggestions and reputable vendor links.
How much do you smoke per day and what brand? PV starter kits can go for anywhere from $40- $300.00 so how much are you willing to spend? Are you looking for a cigarette sized PV or a "sharpie- pen" sized PV? Battery info- 100 mah= 1 hr normal vaping before recharge is needed.

Lol Vapoor Eyes, I'm here :D

Hello & welcome Fallen :)

Steer clear of the ones you have named in your opening post, they are all over priced & under perform. here is a list of good UK vendors -

ALL ABOUT E-CIGARETTES UK - Recommended & new suppliers (e-cig/juice sellers)

And if you want good battery life etc, this is the kit I recommend to just about everyone, cos it's such a good price & a brilliant kit :) Use discount code ECF10 for 10% off -

The VE Riva 1100 Deluxe Kit £34.95 - Deluxe Vaping Kits - Riva 1100 Kit Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

You will also need to buy some e-liquid as well. The above supplier does some excellent flavoured sample bottles, or you could have a look a some of the other suppliers in the list I've linked to :)

Here is a kit with everything you need. Sing up for the news letter and get 5% off everytime you order. I also believe it is on sale till midnight.

GotVapes StartMeUp New Vaper COMPLETE Kit- Everything Included [gc-NEWVAPERego-starterkit] - $79.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

You would do well to consider a starter kit like this. I have been smoke free for 7 weeks, 5 days and have spent MUCH more than this to get in the comfort zone of vaping! I have been lucky enough to meet other vapors in the "real" world, they suggested I start out big, and I should have listened to them. I started with a look a like and quickly upgraded, just as they said I would. You may not think you need all of this, but as it becomes an extremely enjoyable hobby you may as well get what you WILL need right out the gate.
Good luck and stick with it, I'm sure you will be back just as most of us are asking for suggestions on everything else vape related, the people here are wonderful and really will help you!
Also, spend a couple of hours reading posts and reviews and check you tube reviews as well so you can see what you are buying in action. :D

Thanks Chrissie can i usethe E liquid refills with the deluxe kit??

You can use any e-liquid with that kit :). The cartomisers & vision e-go that come with the kit (as with most kits) come without any e-liquid in them so need filling straight away. The cartomisers can be refilled several times over & the Vision ego even more often. Getting the 5 cartomisers plus the vision ego in the kit is what makes it such a good price.

Yep I agree the Riva Kit with the cartomizers and Clearomizer is a great price. The Riva/ Kgo is a solid performer. Here's a review by highly regarded ECF member PBusardo

You will never get the same taste as an analog in EJuice. I DIY my juices, love tobacco juices. My faves are RY4, DKTab, Tobacco Absolute and Black Perique- note the last 2 juices people either LOVE them or HATE them. Best to buy sampler packs because there will be juices you do not like. ALWAYS test/ drip new juices on the atomizer/ atty before committing a new juice/ taste to a cartomizer or a clearomizer.

Thanks Chrissie which E juice would be best for a smoke like experiance ...

It hasn't been long at all since I quite analogs, and you will not find a flavor that compares, but let's be honest, they didn't taste good to begin with. Don't be afraid to try some of the other flavors...when I started ordering juice I thought these companies must be crazy for offerring something called turtle cheescake, but out of desperation (spent two weeks and over $100 looking for a true analog taste) I ordered it...oh my....it's seriously good, along with vanilla, sugar cookie, cupcake, and I've tried vanilla tobacco from four vendors and all were great, not too sweet with a good "bite" that makes me feel like I am "smoking". Backwoods brew makes "malty" and it tastes like warm spun sugar. I'm not sure about customs and ordering from the states but I am sure the vets on here can point you in the right direction for your location. And make sure you order enough liquid that you don't run out! ;)

Yep oddly enuff when DIYing my juices vanilla is almost always added to my juices. I also agree as I converted someone 5= weeks ago and all he wanted was strawberry. I took him a bunch of samplers 2 weeks ago and he's now hooked on all sorts of flavors.
Cheers.

I'm going camping this weekend and hope to see a fellow vaper while there, I am going to beg some RY4 he has from BWB. I have tried 5 other RY4 flavors and honestly I can't see what the hype is all about, in fact, I hated them. They smell wonderful but ughhh...but he swears it's the best. I will update sometime next week.
But I did find that just about everything I DIDN'T like....well all I had to do was add some vanilla :thumb: Needless to say it is a staple at my house.

I have to steep all my tobacco flavors before vaping otherwise they're horrible. I found the same with vendor bought Tobacco juices also. DIY was tough at first but once I figured out the flavors I liked it went quite well but there was lots of testing. A number of my friends (mostly guyz) love the tobacco while the ladyz prefer desserts, bakery and fruits.

I tried them right out of the mail and yuck...then again two weeks later, a little less yuck by then. My husband enjoys them after two weeks, I just dump in some vanilla and voila...it's an enjoyable vape! (but mostly I save what I don't like for my hubby, his taste buds are dead :D)

LOLLLL my taste buds are also near dead...maybe that's why I love tobacco. When smoking analogs I HATED menthol. I now actually add some in to my tobaccos and really like it. If you need to steep something 1st day put it in hot tap water for 45 minutes. Place in cupboard.
Next a.m./ second day remove cap and place back in cupboard.
Next a.m./ third day try vaping it.
Cheers and have a great camping trip.
