Resurrecting this thread I know it's a controversial one and @Ashtonian seems to get a bit of stick about vaping. Well, after 25 years as a smoker (5-15) a day, last week I bit the bullet and got an e-cig kit. Now I have tried many, many times to quit the cigs but always failed, hypnotherapy, patches the lot. This is the first time I have been able to quit for over a week, and despite the derision on here for vaping, I would recommend it to any smoker as an alternative. I already feel repulsed by the smell of cigs, as the flavours available for vaping are so varied and it provides the 'hit' to keep the cravings at bay. Just a message really to anyone out there who smokes and feels as they can't quit, give it a go. Just been to 3 day music festival too where I would prob have easily smoked 20 a day feeling much better and also that I have finally cracked it. Hoping to reduce its use over time but for now its helping me quit smoking, something I never thought I could do.

That is fantastic to hear mate! If you ever need any advice or want to know anything just give us a shout. The trick is, you want to lower the nicotine over time until you don't feel the need for it. At the start you are still wanting the hit but over time as you aren't standing there smoking a whole ciggie you become less and less dependant on it.

Basically that is vaping in a nutshell. Where smoking you are pushing a craving no matter now bad for you it is, you delude yourself just to get thst hit. Vaping on the other hand is just delivering a safer hit of nicotine , you only take a pull when you feel you need one. As described by someone on here a good while ago, it is like a futuristic medicine thing, you take your shot and get on with things. You aren't stopping yourself for 5 minutes a go to serve an addiction.

Absolutely . Noticed that after three puffs I'm happy and put it away again, whereas normally would always finish he ciggie - superkings too. Helped my missus has also decided to at the same time, so managed really well whilst drinking too which is when I am usually at my most vulnerable . Got the menthol flavour as that is what I smoked but got to admit the fruit ones are really enjoyable. Have started high (.18) as I wanted it to work, but will aim to reduce. Only got a cheap starter one but works for me! Noticed so many people using them now who used to smoke so got to be a good thing, and aiming to save a fortune!

You will notice the difference price wise as well. Assuming you have a starter type of pen, the liquids will last you much longer and the smaller price of each bottle compared to ciggies will be telling.

If you ever want a place to go if you want to buy anything or get some nicer liquids, there's a little shop down hannover Street called rojeans. Boss little place, fella in there is the ideal place to go to after you have started off. He doesn't sell fancy stuff so to speak, really helped me out after I started. And nit some hipster cloud place either, shops practically a cupboard lol
