Hannibal Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 are these electric ones ok to use at the football? also how do pubs stand on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graygo Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 right going to give this one a go, the oversized ciggarettes are not working, especially when i am drinking would you still recommend the starter pack? also any recommendations on strength of the juices? are these electric ones ok to use at the football? also how do pubs stand on this? I got the starter kit posted in my earlier thread after many recommendations from a few forums and it's certainly doing the trick for me. I have started on the 18mg strength juices and hope to cut that down over time. Wee tip os to only buy small 10ml bottles in case ou don't like one. Cappuchino is bogging but I've enjoyed cola, lemon/lime, apple and fizzy sherbet Not sure about pub and the football although I've seen people using them at both, I prefer to follow my old habit and only vape in places I could smoke before. Good luck mate, best decision I've made in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graygo Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 is it worth starting on the tobacco liquid or not really? I got 5 different flavours initially including tobacco, the tobacco one is one I won't be buying again. Why not pop into the shop on Gorgie Road as I believe he will let you try them out. http://empvap.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropped from 2.2 ohms to 1.8 and what a difference How's everyone else doing? Well done mate. I'm still on the vape since 25th October and not had any urges for tobacco. Still trying different flavours, some good some not so good, all 18mg. Buying some new kit next week and actually looking forward to browsing my options. Not missing my yellowed ciggie fingers, hacking cough or morning lung butter gobs at all. Can't be long before it's heavily taxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still experimenting with flavours too, bought some from a new shop in Musselburgh last week but they didn't match up to my usual kind and were more expensive too so I'll be going back to my usuals. 5 x 10ml for ?10.

Belhaven have banned vaping in all their pubs, pretty sure most chain pubs will follow suit! Apparent reason is that in larger pubs it isn't clear to barstaff that you are vaping rather than smoking!

And in other news Police Scotland want to ban driving because they can't tell whether you've been drinking or not. Ridiculous decision. (the Belhaven one, the Police Scotland one I just made up) I never vape in a pub but that's got my back up. In a large pub it's not clear if you're smoking or vaping???? Go and check then and if they're smoking chuck them out, if they're vaping, leave them alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think their point is that in a busy pub they don't want barstaff wasting their time by having to check every 2mins whether the plume of vapour at the other side of the pub is vapour or someone smoking!

E-cigs are the mutts.... ?15 a month now unless I need batteries then it's ?35ish. I was spending ?200 plus on fags... Just about to have my 2nd skiing holiday of the season thanks to E-cigs!

John Gentleman Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yet to hear of anybody failing with the e-cigs I've known quite a few folk who've lapsed from e-cigs (the fag wannabe ones) and gone back to smokes. PVs though, based on anecdotal reports, have a very high success rate. Oz doesn't allow any nicotine in the e-juices sold locally (though you can import them, weirdly). So what we do is import 500ml or 1 litre bottles of nicotine e-liquid from the US and mix it with locally sourced flavours. That way you can 'tailor-mix' your e-juice to whatever nicotine strength you want (or need to get/keep you off the fags). Works like a charm.

JamboUpNorth Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Not a smoker and this belhaven decision annoys me. From what I've experienced, the e-cigs etc don't smell like smoke. IF you're working in the pub and you smell smoke, check the folk smoking and throw out the guilty party. If you don't smell smoke continue on until you do smell smoke.

Never had an e-cig, but from my experience with vapourisers. you're basically just coaxing the vapour out. You don't have to draw as hard as a cigarette, just gently breathe in with your lips loosely over the end of the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romac Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've just got the Evod starter kit from the link posted earlier on this thread. I've just went my first 24 hours without a fag! In the kit there were about half a dozen spare "coils" Could anyone tell me how often they need changed and how do I tell when they do? Is it the case that they just stop working and I then swap them over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done The coils last about 3 weeks (more if you've got 2 units and are using them alternatively) and are very easy to replace, also cheap to buy replacements as well. I think I paid ?6 for 5 of them. You'll know when to change the bottom coil as you'll get a horrible burnt taste in your mouth even with plenty liquid in the tank.

Les Izemore Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What's this talk of 'coils'. Do you mean wicks, like wax candles? My vape comes in 2 main parts, battery and tank. Within the tank is the liquid and a four strand wick that draws the liquid into the heating element due to capilliary action where it's vaporised. The wick needs replaced about once a month and are 4 off for ?5. Are we talking about the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovecraft Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 http://vaporized.co.uk/ On the middle of Leith Walk. If you are getting one, I would suggest 2 batteries so you always have a charged one. Means you are more likely to stop the fags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
