Pete Seeger Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Does anyone use these and if so can you give me recommendations as to which to buy? The only time I stopped in the past was using champix but the stomach cramps and crazy dreams got the better of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chae Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Used skycig buddy, very good starter pack and the refills are relatively cheap. Plenty of flavours too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed The Jedi Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Try having a look here mate, this is where I get all my gear and the boy who runs the sight is a top bloke. I found the e cigs the ones that look like fags to be pretty crap IMO. What I missed about giving up was the throat hit, the sensation of the smoke going down your throat and the only kit that did it for me was the one in the second link, pricey but well worth it IMO. Feel free to pm me any questions and I'll do my best to answer. http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/ http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/vape-escape-vision-1000-ultimate~397 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Seeger Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks for the links. How often do you have to buy refills in your experience? I smoke 15-25 a day so I'm currently a moderate smoker. How long have you been off the real cigs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Lighter Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 going by this link a mate sent me they are going to get banned http://www.vapestick.../e-cig-ban.html tax man needs smokers Big Pharma will be wanting a slice of the growing e-cig market to,if or when the government do eventually ban them expect the Glaxos and Pfizers to introduce their e-cig versions which will then be made available on prescription at taxpayers expense. I borrowed this from an e-cig forum.... It might be worth mentioning in your letters/emails to the MP's and MEP's the annual cost to the NHS for providing NRT Services (Nicotine Reduction Therapy) as been as follows: *NHS services ? (million) 1999-00 5.0 2000-01 21.5 2001-02 24.7 2002-03 24.7 2003-04 36.2 2004-05 46.8 2005-06 51.9 2006-07 51.2 2007-08 61.0 2008-09 73.5 2009-10 83.9 2010-11 84.3 2011-12 88.2 Source http://www.ash.org.u...nts/ASH_667.pdf That is a total of ?653,000,000 over the years and this only includes the service and not the cost of the drugs. At the best figures that can be found 94%, of these drugs have failed to prevent people returning to smoking.... To the op, I've been vaping now two years past January, I was a 30 year smoker and had tried all the NRT prescription treatments and the longest I lasted without a smoke was a week.

John Gentleman Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 They can't, and couldn't, claim to be a smoking cessation aid because the manufacturers/distributors would then have to produce a raft of scientific data to back it up. No problem for Big Pharma with their patches etc, but in the highly fragmented world of E-cigs (or 'PVs' ? Personal Vapourisers) it isn't going to happen. Do we live in a world where everything is allowed until proven unsafe, or in a world where everything is banned until proven safe? If it were the latter, none of us would be alive for long. They stopped me smoking in a week and I had previously tried every 'endorsed' form of NRT available (obviously without success). I mix my own juices and add nicotine to taste. Even then, I've slowly reduced the amount of nicotine liquid I add by about half in the eight months I've been vaping. IMO, nothing comes close to them in helping someone quit the analogues. The other big bonus is, having paid for your kit, it costs you virtually sod all to vape. Big Pharma doesn't like it, governments don't like it...................I'll let you guess in which direction it'll go from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossco Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 As far as I'm aware they are meant to replace smoking (because they are better for you). They are not to be thought of or used a something to help you stop. I used the E-Cig for a while and it was actually alright, but in the end after a few beers always ended up going back to the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Seeger Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I've just taken delivery of the one suggested by Jed the Jedi. What a piece of kit that is - Thanks for the tip! I've had a wee try of it and it gives you a really realistic draw. Very impressed with it. Just out of interest though how often should I be puffing it? Should I take several puffs at a time like I would with a ciggy or is it one puff until your next fag time? And well done Graygo, keep it up fella.

Lancashire_Lou Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Fella's replaced 60 a day with one. He's almost done a week now and Im pleasantly surprised!

Shanks said no Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Have been taking 2mg nicotine lozenges since January 2006, yes over 7 years. Am completely addicted to them. Better for me than the 20 a day plus habit I had, but its still an addiction to nicotine. Costs me about ?7 a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancashire_Lou Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 How can you smoke 60 fags a day? Where do you even find the time? Well they were roll ups so probably only equivalent to 30 actual cigarettes. Plus tobacco isn't too expensive when you know a lot of people who go on a hell of a lot of holidays... I don't know how people afford to smoke real cigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poultry Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 March 8th this year was my last cigarette, I spend on average ?30 per month on liquid and filters. The cost of me smoking was around ?300 per month, and I have smoked since I was 17 and now I am 49. Kids are happy the wife is delighted and I have a few bob in my pocket. Not to mention the fact I don't wake up during the night coughing my F****** gut's up any more and the chest doesn't feel sore now. Unfortunately the government don't like me anymore I wonder why.
