E Cigs

[Benny Brazil]

Any smokers out there turned to these new e cigs? If so what are they like would you recommend them - couple of guys at work have been using them and saying they havent smoked a cigarette since and dont miss them at all - all the reviews of these e cigs say that they are similar to smoking a cigarette just without the side issues of smoking tobacco.

[lord bunberry]

I haven't tried them but I've been thinking about it. I'm using the patches at the moment and they seem to be working well for me. The only reservation I have about the e cig is that your not getting away from the habit of putting a cigarette to your mouth. But everyone is different I suppose and the main thing is just to stop smoking as its a horrible habit

Not had a fag in five weeks and loving it. Smoked for over 30 years and am not missing it at all. No coughing in the morning, not stinking of fags at night and have knocked several minutes off my 10km run time. I'm also about €40 a week better off.

Keep up the good work mate, it's well worth it in every way.

Well done. I'm going to do the half marathon this year so I need to stay off the fags. I've only done a week but so far so good.

No matter what happens, don't give up giving up. A week is a long time for a smoker so you've done the hard part.

[RyeSloan]

Been using them for 9 months and not smoked a fag after the first week. Know a quite few folk that have quit fags using these

I use sites like liberty flights or vape escape.

Currently using a vision ego spinner battery and a vivi nova atomiser....and all sorts of juice flavours!!

Can't recommend them highly enough and although you are still feeding your nicotine habit you are not killing yourself in the process anymore :agree:

Well thats kinda made my mind up - the guys at work using them said the same thing and all the reviews on the net were the same but still I was a bit sceptical.
Seems Skycigs are the most popular out there - so will probably go with them.

Thanks

[RyeSloan]

Benny I would recommend avoiding the likes of skycigs....it's simply branded stuff that you can buy elsewhere. It's also, in my opinion, pretty crap compared to what you can get by buying separates from the likes of the sites I suggested.
Put it this way....I spent quite a few quid trying And buying before learning what was good and none of the devices that look like real cigs are up to much beyond initial novelty factor.

I can drop you a pm later if you want that would contain a suggestion for a do it yourself kit.

That's what I keep telling myself. I've tried so many times before and I always do pretty well to start with but I can never keep it going. That's why I'm doing the half marathon to give me something to aim for

"Don't give up trying to give up" is the best advice ever. I tried a few times before finally managing it, even stopped for 6 months twice on separate occasions and failed. Tried patches, gym, everything...

So, to all the folks on this thread trying to give up- don't give up giving up, however you end up doing it. It is so difficult, and there are days when the cold sweats and being unable to keep your temper at every little thing and all that kind of thing just make everything a crappy fight, but keep going and do it, it's worth it. It's worth it a million times over.

Totally. I miss it too. I miss it right now in fact. I'm sitting in a ****ty club in SAo Paulo the missus dragged me to for a friend's birthday, watching people through the window *** loving their cigarettes and actually thinking about getting some tobacco, but I won't do it mate, because bottom line is, I am much much better without it, and so are you. The temper thing passes. It feels like it takes ten years, but it does pass. Turkish bath/steam room helped me with that, in case that helps- got roasted and took cold showers again and again. Hang in there mate. You'll come out the other side and you'll be much better for it.

i got an Ego Vision vaporizer from Vaporised on Leith Walk, starter kit was £17.50 you get a battery, cartomiser that holds the liquid, charger and a juice

haven't looked back since getting it, wide selection of favoured juices that are £5 and should last about 5-7 days

haven't been near a cigarette or wanted one since i got it, would recommend anyone try them

guys in the shop are sound too and will talk you through it, feel so much better and have saved myself a fortune

[VickMackie]

I bought myself a skycig earlier tonight. I've only ever half heartlessly tried to quit and lasted five days.

I'm overweight and whenever I've tried to hit the gym my breathing has been difficult and I'm feeling more tired than I should be because I can't get enough oxygen in me.

I'm hoping the ecig will let me 'smoke' but also help me on the training front.

Good luck. I'm running my usual 10k several minutes faster than last year already and I've only been off the fags since the start of the year. There's also the money saved, not stinking of fags and my boxing dummy is getting his face pummeled 3x3 minutes a day again. Keep it up, you'll start to enjoy many other things again.

I notice that I feel a lot more tired when I smoke. The five days I went before I felt like I had a lot more energy so that'll be good.

This skycig is meant to be 40 fags but not sure how that's measured. Any idea? I'm guessing it'll be about 3 draws per cig.

I've been reading that these things are getting pulled from shelves. I think the tobacco companies and pharmaceutical companies will try and either bury these products or take them over an produce them themselves.

It wouldn't surprise me to see these disappear as big business and government can't afford the losses of smokers switching.

Where do you guys buy the Liquid for the cigs in Edinburgh? Over here I just get mine from a normal tobacconist.

When I first started on the vapouriser I couldn't imagine vaping the fruit or coffee type flavours..I wanted a replacement for my cigs. Almost a year on and looking for a 'true' tobacco taste is long gone and often find myself mixing and mathcing flavours and trying some rather exotic sounding ones! My current flavour is Green Peach Tea...topped up with Georgia Peach...and oh yes it's peachy. Still packs a punch though as the nictone content is 20mg.

Still off to the battle cruiser this avo so will be filling the a tank up with tobacco flavour, I find when I'm drinking that I revert to desiring a good authentic cig replacement.

Great thing about e-cig though is that you can change flavours as well as mix and match anytime you want.

[StevesFamau5]

aaaaagggghhhhh im actually craving a real ciggie here. its been 6 weeks since my last and despite normality helping. the stress of a graded unit and presentation are making it really difficult.... :(

It should have a max level on it but if not fill it up to below the tube in the middle, you don't want any liquid going down that tube.

[Mon Dieu4]

yep should be a guide on the side, what kind did you get?

[Oscar T Grouch]

Thats almost my 1st full week off the fags, on the patches. I am still craving a smoke, every day, every time I do something I relate to smoking (waking up, after food, sitting at the PC, etc etc) but I think this is just the habit I am breaking, I do not have nicotine cravings, just want something lit and in my mooth :greengrin

On the subject of ecigs, Im going to a stop smoking session in Leith Hospital, they say they aren't regulated and they don't recommend them, they also do not break the habit (putting something in yer mooth to satisfy your nicotine craving). But if they get you off the cancer sticks then good, hope everyone who's giving up and posting on here is doing well. Its a hard thing to do, hopefully we can all be fag free in the coming months.

[sleeping giant]

Started this today and so far i'm quite impressed.

Takes a bit getting used to regarding how much vapour to inhale:greengrin

Just had about 4 puffs everytime i would have had a fag. Seems to be working so far.
Its a bit of an effort to squeeze the liquid out the bottle too:faf:

RY4 which is tobacco with caramel and vanilla

Swedish Fish haha crazy name but it tastes like the sweetie Refreshers

I got the RY2 when i first ordered and i've just reordered another 30ml. Might try different flavours down the line but the tobacco taste seems to be working for me so far.

I used Liberty Flights.

That's exactly what I found....tasted like my first ever cig. When you reset your taste buds like that you wonder how you ever got addicted to the horrible things in the first place!

[heretoday]

Guys.

Is it ok to have a fag now?

I've been dying for one ten years since!

[The Green Goblin]

Almost reached one full year without touching one. I still think about it. What I remember is that I felt a bit weird for the first 6 months, then it calmed down and I felt better. Best of luck to everyone on here who is trying to quit. Don't give up trying to give up.

[sleeping giant]

I'm 5 week and 1 day without a real fag.
Just got some blueberry flavoured e liquid and its the muts nuts.
This ecig thing is perfect for when i'm in my motor as this is where i smoked the most. After every job i would jump back in the car and light a fag even if the job had only taken 10 mins as some do.

Love this thing.

I've NOT smoked around 500 fags and only spent around £30 on E-Liquid. Still have a full 30ml bottle unopened and my 10 ml bottle of blueberry which has just been opened.

I reckon a 30ml bottle will last me a month and at £12 a bottle is quite a saving.

Ive just reduced the nicotine level from high to medium too.

Couldn't recommend this enough.

Cheers Si. Used your discount code again too :greengrin

Your not stopping mate, its just a different kind of smoking. Getting rid of the 2000 + poisons you inhale, saving money and still enjoying a puff. It's the way to go!

Well done all :thumbsup:

[RyeSloan]

So not one person on this thread or any I know have tried and failed to stop the fags through these devices....I know they are not a cessation approach as they still feed your habit but I must say that I think the health authorities approach to vaporising has been very poor. If you want to stop someone smoking just give them one of these things....job done :greengrin

Well done to all the guys on here, this thread alone must have cost the tobacco companies hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds!

Not sure it's saved me as much cause I can't help myself but try out the latest widgets on the market....I just procured a Vamo from VapeEscape....wow this thing is the muts nuts! It's pretty chunky but with a dual coil cart and tank on top it's bloody awesome. I needed to buy a battery and charger but the device itself is only about £30-£40 and although too big to take out and about its highly recommended. It's that good I reckon I will be able to step down a nicotine level as the vapour coming off my standard 18mg VG juice makes my head spin if I get too carried away!!!

Think the tobacco companies are starting to take notice and will be using their power to put a spanner in the works, can't see anyway you can ban them though, too easy to mix your own juice etc

Last I read there was at least a couple of American tobacco companies that had bought up e-cig brands in the USA...the market there is much more mature than the UK.

As for the e-cig, I'm in the Hilton in London til Sunday and sitting puffing at the bar. Call me an attention seeking twat but I'm loving the spectrum of reaction from other guests. It ranges from curiosity to downright jealously :greengrin

Wife has been using them for nearly 2 weeks now and the difference to her has been quite amazing.
All the nicotine she wants without the smoke,smaell and the **** gobbing up her lungs.
Savings...................worked out that if she can stay of the fags for a year, she will save nearly £3,000.
Great investment.

Wife uses Sky Cigs.
Lots of different flavours and depending on how you get on, you can lower the strength of nicotine gradually.
3 weeks and £106 saved already.
Funny thing is, she will still go and stand at the front door to smoke them.

If they class them as medicinal, then they will be taken off the shelves til they can carry out research. time to stockpile i think!!

Possibility that could mean free e-cigs through pharmacies?

[vein]

I spent quite a bit on a decent Green Smoke kit, plus I bought extra full strength cartonisers when the light strength ones werent doing the trick. Was a total waste of cash, I havent taken to them at all.

From doing a bit more reading it looks like I jumped into a purchase a bit too soon without doing my homework properly! Found a forum where plenty others have had the same experience with Green Smokes.

So I'm ready to give vaping another bash as so many of you on here seem to be pretty positive about Libert Flights. I've had a look on the site but I'm a bit confused about what I would need to buy. I see they have a basic starter kit for £24.99 (CE4 eGo v2 Single Kit ), is this what you guys have been buying or am I better off with something else?

Cheers

Purchased an EVOD clearomiser from liberty recently. Would highly recommend them.

Not the biggest capacity but these wee guys pack a punch! Great vapour and throat hit...even better than a good cart or the vivi nova on my spinner.

Not sure what the regulations will actually mean but not surprised the government couldn't help but stick their beak in.

I have to butt in there.

That "throat hit" that you enjoy is the same as the one you get when you are inhaling toxic fumes. It's an alien sensation that your body disagrees with but it's one you have persisted with and you now associate it with pleasure. You've learnt to put up with and then "enjoy" that sensation to get your fix of nicotine.

People are getting the same amount of nicotine from these vaporising products as they were from fags but they are still craving fags. However, the only addictive property in a fag is nicotine. What are they wanting??

The facts are that smokers are addicted to the worst drug in the world that gives very little pleasure (if any at all)...but it's the easiest to get "unhooked" from. How can smokers sleep eight hours at a time without being woken up by this raving sensation that dictates that they have at least one fag every hour during the day?

The hard stuff is in your head. The stuff like the associations with drinking, relaxing etc...it's all mince but it's the hardest to face up to because you just see the smaller picture when you are a smoker. You think it somehow looks and feels good and it's down to a lifetime of conditioning. Smoking has been seen as a positive thing subconsciously for over 100 years.

As for stopping, you can see as many pictures of black lungs and read as many warnings as you want but when it comes to those little cravings that you get then you will stick them at the back of your mind. They are "distant" worries but the immediate worries that the nicotine cravings give you are easier to satisfy.

Logic goes out the window and people will take draws off strangers to get their fix. I hope this vaping craze makes people realise what they are actually addicted to and opens their eyes.

You aren't any different to anyone else. At the flick of a switch you can be the same as the man who has never been near a smoking product.

Heres my view...I was a heavy smoker up until 5 weeks ago when I decided to try the Vapouriser..I havent touched a "real" cig since ...yes Im still feeding my habit by inhaling nicotine but the big difference for me is I am not inhaling all the carcogenic lung damaging artery clogging stuff that goes with it. I can chose the strength of nicotine I am inhaling & I can enjoy different flavours. On top of that I can enjoy the "throat hit" using 0 (zero) nicotine flavoured liquid. I have moved from 24mg of nicotine to 2mg - 0mg flavoured liquid in 5 weeks.

I dont "crave" cigarettes anymore, my habits have changed for the better, as has my health. I use my vapouriser if & when I choose, at work, on occassional breaks etc.

Financially ..wow ..£200 + a month down to erm .....£10-£15 ...a month ..& a fine pair o lungs tae go wi it ..

Anyone tried the whisky flavour yet ?

Sorry you are plain wrong in some of that. I don't still crave fags...in fact quite the opposite I feel a shame for those still using them and find their smoke quite off putting if I catch a whiff of it.

As for the rest of your diatribe...it's pretty simple people want their hit of nicotine and/or meet their habitual habit to 'smoke' without having to get it by inhaling dangerous and cancer causing toxins.

Sorry Guys that did sound a bit preachy and wasn't aimed at you personally SiMar. I can't really judge anyone else and what they like about vaping etc...and the throat-hit was actually a part of smoking I thought I enjoyed. It's just that cigarette smokers commonly use the fact they enjoy that as a justification for not even trying to quit.
I suppose it was aimed at those who smoke fags and those who use e-fags and find it hard to stay away from real ones. It's a subject I feel very strongly about and it's just frustrating knowing how easy it can be to quit. I'm not going to waffle on again about how I stopped.:greengrin

If guys like you two are happy vaping and actually know and understand nicotine addiction then hats off. I'm not being patronising and you know yourself how well you have done to lose the real fags.

I tried e-fags years ago and they were brutal. They didn't satisfy my nicotine craving and gave me pains in my chest so I have to admit that that experience has clouded my judgement. However, Things like whisky and vanilla flavour ones actually sound like they give real pleasurable experiences as well as craving relief. It's interesting to hear that you can get ones that contain no nicotine....sounds like a win/win.
I think they should be regulated though as I probably would have died if I had continued with my dodgy ones. No doubt the government will get their claws into it in more ways than one and they will creep up in price.:rolleyes:

No doubt the government will get their claws into it in more ways than one and they will creep up in price.:rolleyes:No probs mate, a year ago I done a product test for a non electronic menthol cigarette, this was a small white tube, probably the same size as a small (not king size) cigarette. It came in a packet sized box & at the bottom of the packet was a small inlet in which you pushed the tip of the cig into for 6 seconds, this injected a doze of menthol nicotine into the cig. When you took a "draw" the cig released a small amount of nicotine into the mouth & a "hit" similar to that of a normal cig.

After a week of testing myself & a group of testers were taken to a room & had a very intense question answer session with regards the product, ie what could be improved, flavours, strength, packaging, method of nicotine release, amount of nicotine release, ease of use etc. Another important part was who would be the target user, ie would the product be government endorsed as a replacement therapy along with patches, sprays & other inhalators, or would the product me marketed by a private company to challenge the tobacco companies with an "alternative" & "realistic" but "healthier" smoke.

The product I tested was obviously pretty crude & nowhere near the finished article, however I liked the concept, I liked the size of the cig, the small injection of nicotine & the ease of use. I also used this product whilst smoking my roll ups (as we were instructed to do so) & I occassionally went a full day using this product & leaving my baccy at home as I felt I was getting "enough" from this trial cig.

Will be interesting to see how that one goes.

Still can't find anything as good as half RY2 and half Blueberry. Vanilla is crappy , cheery is crap.

I've tried about 20 odd different flavours but always go back to the RY everytime, i like others like choc mint, apple, blackcurrent etc but that's for about a day then i have to go back

[RyeSloan]

RY is a great base...I rarely vape just one flavour, like to mix up two or three normally.

Huge difference in the quality of liquids as well...honestly don't rate the Dekang stuff vapourised sell and like to make sure there is always some VG in the mix.

Fussy bugger me sometimes :-)

Went down to Vaporized yesterday to pick up a starter kit, ended up going for a silver kit to get the 2 batteries and got B+H and banana flavour 18mg e-liquids. Started off on the B+H one yesterday and first impression was that they are like night and day compared to the more expensive Green Smokes I bought.

Filled up the other cartonizer with the banana flavour to see what it was like and its my favourite of the two (although the B+H is by no means bad!). I'm a creature of habit when it comes to smoking, taking breaks at work around the same times every day and usually out on the hour throughout the evening for a cig. By the time I'm home from work I'll have had 8-9 fags followed by another 4-5 at home in the evening, today I'm at 6 (although I am about to go out for one now to make it 7!)

That could have been less but I was feeling a bit self conscious at the smoking shelter with the vapouriser, tonight I'm thinking to myself I look bloody stupid holding a fag anyway so whats to feel self conscious about!! All seems promising so far, aim for tomorrow is to cut out even more of the cigs than I did today.

I didnt cut down on my baccy ..I just swapped it for the vapouriser. Try different flavours, mix one or two till you get the blend that you enjoy. As for feeling stupid ..dont, you know you are making an effort ...I had a few odd glances & stares as I "vaped" at the bike stands at the RIE.

Cheers for the encouragement, still going strong here. Yesterday was 5 ciggys, today is going to be the same and given Friday night would usually mean me smoking more I'm feeling pretty positive. Tomorrows going to be a test as I'm out at the pub tomorrow night and determined that I'm only taking the vapouriser. Its the Sheeps Heid I'm going too as well so no fag machine and no shops that are close enough to walk to. Hopefully I have bought my last packet of cigarettes!

I was at Jewel club & although you are allowed to use your vapouriser there I still went outside for a "puff" just as I had done when I smoked baccy ..although felt I didn't need to go out as often as I used to..felt good having a couple o puffs then popping it into the pocket again ..:greengrin Also just think ..when at a game, all those bog blockers who run out for their smoke..you can sit in yer seat & safely "vape" away ...:cb I do admit to vaping a lot more whilst watching hibs than I do when drinking ..just a nerves thing I suppose ..:greengrin

Just read through this at the back of four, jumped in the car, fired down to vaporised and fifty quid lighter came back with a starter kit!!

Quick update on my progress....As Sleeping Giant said earlier in the thread, these things do actually work! That fag I had on Saturday morning was my last fag. I came home on Saturday night from the pub having not wanted for a cigarette and even turned down the offer of one, I did vape alot though!

When I got home from the pub I gave the rest of the fags I had in the house to my wife to pass over to my mother in law. They were just an obstruction to actually stopping so I was glad to get them out of the way.

I wont lie though, I have thought about cigarettes now and again since Saturday morning but every time I do I just reach for the vapouriser and it satisfies my craving right away. I appear to have made my wife and kids happy plus I'm enjoying not reeking of smoke for the first time in 16 years so I have plenty motivation here to stop me reaching for another cigarette.

I really reccomend the banana flavour from Vaporize btw, its just like those 2p sweetie bananas you used to get in a mixture as a kid :greengrin

I wont lie though, I have thought about cigarettes now and again since Saturday morning but every time I do I just reach for the vapouriser and it satisfies my craving right away. I appear to have made my wife and kids happy plus I'm enjoying not reeking of smoke for the first time in 16 years so I have plenty motivation here to stop me reaching for another cigarette.

I really reccomend the banana flavour from Vaporize btw, its just like those 2p sweetie bananas you used to get in a mixture as a kid :greengrinGreat tae hear ..Im going up to vapourized on Thurs for a couple more bottles ...choices ..choices ..mmmmm :greengrin

Ps ..6 weeks today....not a cigarette smoked !! :agree:

[Hibee-Bongo]

That's me a week of the cigs, working really well. I would advise against the orange flavour, tastes like the flavoured flu drinks.

[Hibrandenburg]

****ing brilliant guys! Keep spreading the good news :greengrin

I have a couple of questions which I hope arent stupid!!

First thing is these clearomisers that hold the liquid, how long do they typically last for? I got two in my kit which are both in use so that I have a choice of flavours, I just dont fancy being caught out by one or both breaking one me!

The other question was on the different flavours avaliable. I know its going to be up to individual tastes but what do people on here like themselves and what sites or shops are you getting your juices from?

Cheers

Typically 2-3 weeks but I've had some that are still going fine after a couple of months, as soon as it starts to taste a bit off or burnt then change it

I've tried lots of flavours but my old stable is RY4 which is tobacco, caramel and vanilla, its a bit harsher than the fruity ones but sometimes i need that

as for other flavours i had a really good one lately called citrus explosion which was really refreshing

also like lemon and lime, tasted just like sprite

apple is good and so is blackcurrent

I've have a few that were lovely but a bit sickly, choc mint, hot choc and strawberry split ice lolly

if im after tobacco one i just use the shop on the walk but for flavoured ones i use

ecigwizards
liberty flights
vape escape
vape paradise

Must say that for small run companies the service I've had from them all has been exceptional

Cheers for that, I was going to pop back down to the shop on Saurday so I'll stock up on a few! Will give this RY4 a go as well, be interesting to see how it compares to the B+H one that I got and am still enjoying.

CheersIf you like menthol go for the triple menthol, good "hit" & plenty vapour ..Im gonna get a bottle of coffee on thurs & maybe a fruit one, had watermelon & red bull ..wasn't too keen on red bull though ..:agree:

[vein]

Went down to the shop again today to pick up more liquid and a few clearomisers. Ended up going for a bottle of RY4, blueberry and watermelon (will give menthol a go next time HH!). Expected to pay £30 but got a fiver off for which is always going to be a bonus!

As I said before everyones tastes will be different and I have to admit I cant take to the RY4 as well as I did with the B+H flavour. Its the vanilla aftertaste thats not really doing it for me. Will mix it up with some of the fruit flavours though to see if I can get a taste that I like out of it. Trying the blueberry one just now and its pretty nice.

On a side note thats me just over a week off the fags and feeling good for it :thumbsup:

[MSK]

No probs mate, a year ago I done a product test for a non electronic menthol cigarette, this was a small white tube, probably the same size as a small (not king size) cigarette. It came in a packet sized box & at the bottom of the packet was a small inlet in which you pushed the tip of the cig into for 6 seconds, this injected a doze of menthol nicotine into the cig. When you took a "draw" the cig released a small amount of nicotine into the mouth & a "hit" similar to that of a normal cig.

After a week of testing myself & a group of testers were taken to a room & had a very intense question answer session with regards the product, ie what could be improved, flavours, strength, packaging, method of nicotine release, amount of nicotine release, ease of use etc. Another important part was who would be the target user, ie would the product be government endorsed as a replacement therapy along with patches, sprays & other inhalators, or would the product me marketed by a private company to challenge the tobacco companies with an "alternative" & "realistic" but "healthier" smoke.

The product I tested was obviously pretty crude & nowhere near the finished article, however I liked the concept, I liked the size of the cig, the small injection of nicotine & the ease of use. I also used this product whilst smoking my roll ups (as we were instructed to do so) & I occassionally went a full day using this product & leaving my baccy at home as I felt I was getting "enough" from this trial cig.

Will be interesting to see how that one goes.**** ..just missed an e-cig trial wi Alba science ..£400 for 13 sessions (1.5 hourly sessions) ...but you have tae be a smoker ..damn it man !!!!! :cb ...

Taking that line of argumentation we should also ban aftershave and perfumes, except of course for those that have appalling body odour. Maybe bouncers should not only be looking out for degenerates who have the wrong footwear but should also expel punters who don't stand up to the sniff test.

Apparently you don't even have to hide in the bog for a quick puff,,,when I flew back in to Edinburgh from Brussels a couple of weeks back there was a guy sitting across the aisle sneakily taking a draw, nobody seemed to mind. It wasn't like it was a big plane either, it was a single seat-aisle-twin seat configuration so it was all very cosy!

Depends on the airline. Some will actually have airport security meet the aircraft if your seen to break any regulations. That's when things can really take a turn for the worst.

Ach it was good while it lasted!

The whole approach to ecigs from 'the authorities' is so muddled its beyond belief.

You would think a device so effective at stopping people smoking would have been enthusiastically welcomed by the medical world and the government but in all honesty it seems like half the time it's put a few peoples nose out of joint, people who have gotten too used to telling people what to do and not do that even though they are obviously a million times better than burning tobacco the mere fact they resemble smoking is good enough to ban them.

As a non smoker, with a hubby who smokes,I was talking to him about them and obviously don't have the same mindset so I have a few questions :-)

Are they not supposed to be used to make you break the habit totally eventually and not just replace the fags?

Why would you want to use them at times you wouldn't have been able to smoke previously? Is that not just increasing the habit?

Do any of you intend to stop using them eventually?

Do you remember the ads years ago where the kids were copying the adults and they claimed it led the kids to smoke? If your using one of these vaporisers will this not do the same thing?

I'm all for them by the way but I have to admit I'm a grumpy non smoker. I sympathise with smokers not being able to smoke where they want but also don't want to be in an area where people are smoking.
After the games, walking up ER is minging, I spend more time trying to dodge smoke than anything else. It get to me most when it's exhaled, the thought that that's rattled it's way round someone's mouth, then into their lungs and then blown out of their body into my face actually makes me want to puke :-(

Does the vaporiser do the same thing?

It's hard to get past the fact it's not a fag, in my head I know it's not but when I see someone on the bus with one I am not happy, even though I know it's not really any different to them sooking a lolly :-) the worst one was a woman in asda, I was outraged! Then fell out with myself for being outraged as she was obviously making the effort to stop, however she wouldn't have lit up a fag in asda so she could have gone another hour without one. I feel the same at the football, you went 45 mins before so why not now?

You all now have an insight into the life my poor hubby has :-) should he buy one?

You husband should definitely go and get one, the main readon being that they aren't bad for you like cigarettes are, they are much cheaper than cigarettes, I've went from paying around £35 a week to £10 a week. As for using them at the football, I could go 45 mins without using it and I did for the 2nd half yesterday, one of the main positives of the vaporizer is that you can use it anywhere but they seem to be getting bannef for no good reason.

[lord bunberry]

As for helping your husband stop you can gradually decrease the strength right down to zero, then either continue with just the flavour or stop using it completely as he will no longer have the nicotine addiction.

They are used as a healthy alternative to smoking, people use them to stop, others use them to cut down, I used a vapourizer to stop, never touched a cig in 5 months now.

Why would you want to use them at times you wouldn't have been able to smoke previously? Is that not just increasing the habit?

No, the vapourizer is totally harmless, I used to chew chewin gum during a game, now my alternative is Hot Cinnamon flavour liquid, tastes much better than the pissy watered down coffee.


Do any of you intend to stop using them eventually?

Not in the immediate future, I went from 24mg nicotine down to 10mg ..considering I smoked half an ounce of tobacco per day I have done well ..as well as my health improving ten fold I am also saving approx. £50 a week...I spend £5/10 a month on liquid.

Do you remember the ads years ago where the kids were copying the adults and they claimed it led the kids to smoke? If your using one of these vaporisers will this not do the same thing?

A Nicorete inhalator does the exact same thing without the vapour ..don't remember any public out cry over them ..

Definitley :agree:

This thread was one piece of inspiration for me to give them a bash and I havent looked back since I bought a kit just over 4 months ago. Took a few days of smoking fags alongside vaping before I kicked the fags into touch all together, not had another ciggy since.

They have really taken off at the smoking shelter at my work now too. At a guesstimate there are now 10 vapers that were all smoking 4 months ago with another few that have the kits but havent taken to them quite yet.

One piece of advice though that you will find further up the thread is dont waste time on the cig a likes, go for one of the kits from vaporized. I started off with a cig a like kit at the start of the year but just couldnt take to them, from what I've read online there are many more with similar stories.

My current favourite liquid is mojito flavour, its quite mentholly with a bit of lime in there too. Also still using blueberry flavour pretty regularly and waiting on a delivery of blackberry flavour to try out. I found a site www.misteliquid.co.uk/ (http://www.misteliquid.co.uk/) that sell the liquid pretty cheaply. 3*30ml is £20 which is really reasonable and 100ml is £18 which is really cheap. One thing I havent seen on this thread though is that the juices need to be steeped to get the best out of them, I take the tops off the bottles and leave them in the cupboard for a week to steep them. I found that mojito one was way too sweet for me at first before I realised it needed to steep, now its lovely :greengrin

[Mon Dieu4]

Steeping your liquid is definitely the way to go, i steep all mine for at least a week before use, makes it taste so much better!

[Jay]

Did you find your tastes changed as time went on, as your taste buds recover from the smoking?

I'm very intrigued by it all. Hubby's abroad just now but says he's defo interested. He's not a heavy smoker, he doesn't smoke in the house or in front of the kids. His problem is that he enjoys his fags but I think he enjoys the break, if he didn't smoke he would go all day without a break as he works alone and doesn't bother stopping till the jobs done. He has stopped before and doesn't find it hard craving wise but misses the habit of doing it. My only concern is that I think he would be self conscious using one.


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

[Mon Dieu4]

My tastes have changed since having one, that's the beauty of it though, you can mix and match the liquid, somedays i like the fruity ones and other tobacco ones, you can honestly find any flavour you like

My taste buds have come back with a vengeance since stopping smoking, as for being self conscious, i was as well to begin with but you would very surprised the amount of people you start to notice that have them, after a few days you won't care at all

I've saved about £1,800 alone since February when i started using mine, been worth it for that alone

[vein]

My taste buds are a lot better now too. I'm just using the fruit and menthol flavours now. I went off the tobacco flavour i was using.

Echo whats said about being self conscious too. If you look back in the thread I was self conscious at first but now I don't give it a thought.

[sleeping giant]

Jill has a point. I have not really cut down my actual smoking time. I have just replaced it.
I do plan to get down to zero nicotine then phase it out but at the moment I'm still on medium nicotine.

Still beats smoking for me. I can now kiss my kids without thinking that they are disgusted with the smell.

Stuart got a vaporized basic starter kit for Chrimbo. Tried it twice and nearly choked himself to death :) any tips?

He was given a wee bottle of dekang 18mg tobacco, he smokes up to 20 a day, is that about right for his needs?

I am going to order more stuff online so any recommendations on flavours and there is a ?clearomizer? Something like that, that's supposed to be better than whatever he has would it be worth buying?

He won't go into the shop so I need to do it online, any help would be appreciated

18mg is spot on for 20 a day, can be a bit harsh the first day or so, you need to get used to it or a milder flavour

as for clearomiser i use the ego c4 which is about a fiver

lots of good flavours out there, fruit ones are nice, coffee and chocolate as well, that parts purely down to personal tastes though

i know you want to do it online but can't speak highly enough of the boys in Leith Walk, will talk you through everything, let you try flavours out and there is no question too silly

Stuart got a vaporized basic starter kit for Chrimbo. Tried it twice and nearly choked himself to death :) any tips?

He was given a wee bottle of dekang 18mg tobacco, he smokes up to 20 a day, is that about right for his needs? I

I am going to order more stuff online so any recommendations on flavours and there is a ?clearomizer? Something like that, that's supposed to be better than whatever he has would it be worth buying?

He won't go into the shop so I need to do it online, any help would be appreciated

If its dekang its probably a 80/20 split of pg to vg. The pg gives the throat hit so if you lower that it may stop him coughing. Try joose juice website as youcan select your own ratio of pg to vg. Mate at work had same prob so I got him 30/70 pg/vg which helped him a lot.

Also dont be scared of non tobacco flavours. Im at 6 months off fags now and only vape fruity or minty flavours.

I would go into the shop, makes far more sense but he won't. Thanks for the advice, will pass it on. :)

That's me joined the e-cigs community. Ive been a smoker for about 25 years and had an on-off relationship with fags for a few years. Got my starter pack and im confident it's really going to help

Good luck. Been a year for me now and it's been no stress at all. Might even kick the e-cig into touch later this year.

What's the best starter pack to buy? Had a look on internet but still unsure what's best.

[Jay]

Hubby's stuck at it and is flying with his now. Will see how it goes when he goes back to work next week though. He has even agreed to go down to the shop! :)

If your looking on vaporized site you wont go wrong with silver pack which should be 2 1100 mah batteries, 2 ce4 clearomizers, charger and a bottle of juice. Should be about 45 quid and well worth the outlay. If your close to one of the shops though pop in and the staff will help you choose.

Not sure if there's any shops in Aberdeen so just looking to order on net. Will have a look at your recommendation. Cheers :-)

couple of my mates have started a couple of shops in Edinburgh that sells nothing but these e-cigs doing quite well from what I've heard. I used them when I went to Cambodia although you're not supposed to use them on flights but under a blanket it goes all right. however being in sweden you can get snus which is like a wee tbag under your lip great for long voyages however can't buy it out with sweden and the eu are trying to ban it here now, much like how they are trying to over regulate e-cigs.

Largely due to reading this thread, I have just purchased a starter pack from vape escape.

Started smoking when I was about 11. Once I was hooked (didn't take long!) I remained on about 3/day till I went to Uni, then it was more like 10 a day. 1st decided to stop smoking when I was 16. I'll be 34 next week!:cb

I have managed to stop every now and then for between a few weeks and a few months.

Recently, patches have been good for me. However, I am always tempted when I am out with friends, many of whom smoke. I am forever pinching a cigarette while saying "I am stopping tomorrow/soon/yesterday" (!)

So I am figuring/hoping that having a vapouriser might be the crutch I need to lean on when temptation strikes...

I can understand why non-smokers wouldn't want us using these in enclosed public spaces, but if the government is truly serious about getting people to quit, then they should avoid a public ban. They should recognise the significant difference between these and cigarettes and allow some space for them to work.

Like all products however, they do need regulation for safety reasons. The arguments about whether they are dangerous really need to be settled by Science. Until then, you'd be a fool to think they were even remotely close in harm to cigarettes. For that reason alone, people should be as free as possible to use them.

Just sayin', likes. :greengrin

seen a few of these being reported recently.

I'm strongly considering trying E-cigarettes. At the minute I pay £7 for 19 Sterling super king - it's crazy!

I hate smoking with a vengeance .. anyone smoking in my company will get an earful. Any smoking friends even get a hard time of it from me.

So at the game yesterday I was all set to have a go at the guy beside me as his e cig vapour drifted towards me ..
.. but what I got was actually quite a pleasant smell, which completely threw me!

I'm holding out on making a verdict on this until the passive effects are properly examined, but I think that even I might be willing to tolerate the e cig revolution.

Officially not allowed I believe, lots of places have banned them while others haven't bothered

Never smoked cigarettes but I have the (very) occasional cigar which is a wholly different experience so no e for me!

[#FromTheCapital]

Stopped smoking cold turkey on Monday, it's a ******* but its the best way of doing it imo. I can totally see the point of e cigs and any other nrt, but I'm trying to cut out my addiction to nicotine and the best way of doing that is by not having any nicotine.
