E cigarettes

[Pol]

Ok i know there was a previous post about this but i couldn't find it ( look harder pol ya fanny i hear you say lol) Anyway i looking for advice on e cigs and related products or any other comments in general.
I have started using one since just before Xmas think i fcked my chest in Nottingham, its just a fairly cheap bog standard type Its uses liquid i prefer tobacco flavoured as i smoked roll ups. I've not had a cigarette or roll up since the 2nd/3rd January there has been a tough moments along the way. I'm also medium strength liquid (1.8mg). Basically i would like to find a e cig with a bit more kick to it that delivers time after time im happy enough with the strength of the liquid

Thanks for the links shush and the helpful advice contained herein it has certainly helped

After sum internet research reading reviews etc today i decided to purchase a innokin itaste mvp 2.0 it has variable voltage / wattage so you can set it to give you the 'hit' that you want, i even got the one with the camouflage 'skin' so it looks pretty cool as well. My first impressions are its excellent and definitely what I'm being looking for yes its a bit chunky and i can see thinking wtf when I'm using it, but its not a fashion statement
Thanks for any advice especially shush and Anna

Sounds good Pol, please let me know how you get on with it. I am still using the cigarette style ones. They have disposable filter sections which have the liquid. I re-fill them myself with basic bottles of E-liquid, but the filters are pricy to start with, and after you have re-filled them a few times, they go a bit manky. I am looking to move onto a "tank" system as they call them.

Just as a note, JS stopped smoking three years ago, and has been on vapour ever since. Says he feels a lot better for it. Anyone can make the switch, its never too late. Now it has really taken off, there looks to be ever better systems out there.

I will do shush i will report back in a couple of weeks should give me time to make a fair assessment. Another thing i like about this system is that you don't have to replace the whole tank every few weeks you just replace the coil part at the bottom so that works out a bit cheaper in the long run. I would definitely recommend the liquid types with the tank though I've not tried the other ones

Tank systems def the way to go. Broke my 30 year addiction. Vari-voltage seem better. Avoiding the tobacco flavour helped me. As for the cost, nowhere near the money I used to spend on fags.

Welcome back Anna

ditto a thousand times to that pol


i would love to take this up and stop having my nicotine hit from breathing in the smoke from burnt plants


but i actually have no idea where to start. thats the problem. where does one begin. i'm not capable of figuring it out. i need to buy a basic model, tyr it, and then take it from there. help!!!!

[Pol]

My advice go to your local retailer buy yourself a cheap basic starter kit. I would go for the liquid filled type. See how you feel then if like it check out the reviews on the net n work out what suits you best n upgrade to that or ask other e smokers for advice. I started smoking when i was in secondary school so over 30years i was smoking about 12.5g of rolling tobacco every day I've not had a roll up for over two weeks and i already feel better. I was spending about £30 on tobacco now im spending about £6-7 a week on liquid so the starting costs are already paid for

[Heno]

cool thanks man

i started smoking as soon as i tried it. nicotine actually levels me out somewhat. but i don't smoke a hole lot. just when i need them. like 5 or 6 rollies a day

couldn't touch a normal ciggy now. before now, marlboro lights were the thing. as soon as i smoked them i could smoke anything else. and before that john player black. still crave them

in a sense once i find something new i move on. so i'll have to make sure i give the best chance. i'll go to a shop and ask them, see what they say.

[Anna Woman von NRW]

Yeah as Pol said get your bum down to the nearest stockist and see what they say. There are a lot of these things around now and not all of them are good. First one I tried with didn't do the job, the smoke was too thin and feeble. The one I've got now a Totally Wicked Ego-C Slimline gives a really good thick smoke you can even blow smoke rings with (makes me look like Smaug  : Mind you he came to a sticky end through an arrow didn't he? Beware the Archer    ) mine is a girly one but they do a good range of chunky blokey looking ones.

Stop making excuses Heno, you're clever enough to be some sort of international corporate business mogul (it's ok I won't tell anyone you're an undercover agent of the Revolution subverting from the inside - ask Master Ray I told him that unlike Shush I can keep a secret..........Oops  ) so you're clever enough to work this out. You're prevaricating yer great nicotine junkie 

[Heno]

yes ma'am

[Shush]

Although I have been E-ciging for three years, I still don't know much about them. I have stuck to the same imitation fag-like product all this time.

The ultimate expert I know is Ian (on here ninja12r)

At Rock city he had what I can only describe as an E-cig bong. It was a large brass cylinder  with button on the bottom and large mouth piece the other end. If you were at Notts, and saw someone disappear in a cloud of smoke every now and again in the pit, that was Ian.

This is an interesting article about addiction. It probably won't make anyone quit smoking but it's food for thought anyway.
