A very interesting read Johnz , one thing i still don't get how can people grow up in the same family n all the brothers and sisters go on to lead normal addiction free lives yet one of the family can be led down the wrong path.

Good question Pol. I'm not a psychologist but I do find these things fascinating. Glad you liked the article.

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

Nice article - cheers Johnz

Certainly makes an awful lot of sense to me. That idea of Disconnectedness feels bang on.

Dunno the answer but I wonder if some of the Disconnectedness is from our individual internal genetic make up rather than just external environment/pressures?

Hey Shush - not tried Apple. I go for Blueberry most of the time (when I've not fallen off the wagon  :( )

Sorry about the lack of posts been busy
Anyway very much enjoying my new e cig, I've still not had a analog cig in 5 weeks don't think i will ever go back to them. Replaced the coil for the first time on my cig ( 5 for £8) they need replaced every couple of weeks. I personally stick to the tobacco flavours ( tobacco gv b&h l&b) and use medium strength 1.8mg.
Any smokers on the forum i would encourage to try it

Pol, on your machine thing, is that more or less all the maintenance you have to do ? refill with your liquid, and change the coil every now and again ? How do you know when to replace the coil ?

Tobacco flavours are OK, but to me they do not really taste like the brands they say they are like. Some of the fruit flavours are OK. Some flavours I try once and then make a dash to the bin for the pleasure of throwing the bottle away fast. The apple flavour I am on at the moment is quite nice, works well.  Have to confess, I use 2.4 strength liquid and always have, but that maybe because two years ago, it was hard to find any system that didn't seem like sucking fresh air.

With mine the smoke starts to taste burnt and yes that's all the maintenance it seems to need

Ta. I suppose that's similar to the disposable filter shaped part I use on the cigarette shaped thing I use. You cannot see when it is empty, it probably starts to burn the wool inside when the liquid dries up.

Yes that's all the maintenance i need to do I find that when i cant get a good drag out of it then its time to change the coil, have read that is you gently wash it in hot water and dry carefully it will last a bit longer. To be fair I've not tried any of the favours and would agree that the tobacco ones don't really taste like cigs On Anna's burnt issue maybe you have the power up to much

Where do you guys in England buy supplies, like new coils, if I may ask? In Sweden I've seen the stuff only online, but will be in England next weekend and would love to visit a shop, if possible :-)

Flavourwise I am a big fan of lemon, and blueberry. Has someone ever tried fried chicken or bacon???

Out of all the flavours I've tried - BlackJack is my favourite.
The only trouble is it's very Moorish.

I buy my coils online There is more and more specialized shops opening up Again depends where your visiting try looking online for shop locations Plenty of shops doing liquids etc but if your looking for that certain individual part it could get alot more difficult

Thanks Pol :) will be looking online then.

I´d only rather see the stuff in real, am still new to the vaping business and basically have no clue if the coils would fit.

For instance, the coil of my vuze ecig makes vape with the silver cig battery, but not the other way around. And, there are so many different kinds out there. It´s a wee bit overwhelming  ;)

Update Still not had a analogue cig after 8 weeks n don't want one. I very rarely miss them sometimes you want to sit and relax with one though.
Still sticking to the tobacco flavour liquids. Currently liking Marlboro, Lambert and butler and b&h as well as the trusty plain tobacco flavour. Usually have the ibreath brand but noticed cheaper types 10x10ml for £20 and still 1.8mg strength

Well done mate. Been puffing my puffer for two years and very very very rarely think of a fag. Poundland do liquids now. Only a tobacco and cherry one but the cherry is the best Ive tasted. I tend to vary from tobacco for a few months then back to fruit. Best thing ever invented imho.
