djf Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Just over ?200 saved once e-cig refills are taken into account versus if I had continued with my 15 a day habit. Just booked 2 weeks away in June for little over double that. Nicotine addiction makes you insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Izemore Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Oversized E Fags didnt work for me either. Best advice I'd say is get yourself into a decent shop. Either the Vapour Lounge in Broughton Street or near the Brauhaus or the one in Dalry. They are both widely aknowledged to have the best selection of kit and the most knowledgeable staff. I started off on a cheaper rechargeable kit from Dalry shop and the last few weeks moved up to the bit of kit above. It was dear but its less than I was spending on fags in 10 days. I use the 24mg e liquid because I was smoking about 20 Malboro Lights a day, but there are other stengths available. You want to try out a few flavours of juice as well. I found going away from tobacco flavours really helped me. Currently trying out Epic Juice's Wake and Vape flavour which is vanilla latte tasting. Ive been doing a lot of research into this as I'm a bit geeky when it comes to the tech behind all of this and it's amazing whats going on with it. The kit really does make a huge difference to the experience in terms of flavour, throat hit and te quality of the vape. I cant recommend the Innokin iTaste VTR highly enough btw! Another vote here for both The Vapour Lounge shops and Epic Juice Wake & Vape, that's my brand now and I've found nothing nearly as good. Plus, that iTaste VTR looks the business but I've yet to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm getting right into this now. Tried most of the Epic Juice flavours now. Wake and Vape is my go to flavour for the morning and night time Main Squeeze i like during the day as its got a menthol lemony melon taste Airheadz I like but I find the flavour a bit too much for using all day Big Stik's good as a change but again not one for all the time Apple Jax I didnt buy as I wasnt keen on the biscuity taste. I started off with the iClear 30s tanks but Ive just bought an XJet Clearomiser which I find is better from the first puff, ythe other one I find you need an intial puff before your main one to get a decent hit. One of these arrived on Saturday but Ive not had a chance to play with it yet. Its a Kayfun Russian 91% tank which gets great reviews. I want to mess about and produce my own coils next.

Bowmans_Boot Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I got one from Vaporized on leith walk and it is superb. The starter kit cost ?45 & I have saved a fortune in the last three weeks. I still smoke Marlboro Lights (my motivation was saving money rather than stopping altogether as I like smoking) but have gone from 15+ a day to around 7.

I'll give the Main Squeeze juice a go, sounds interesting, although the other juices you listed weren't for me. I think that's the main thing with people sticking with vaping is finding the right combo of juice and kit. I find the iClear 30 fine from the first puff but I'm using 18ml juice so maybe that's why it doesn't make any difference to my vaping. And making your own coils, wow, that's dedication.

Ribble Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 4 weeks past Saturday I bought the ?30 stater kit from Evo Vape on Great Junction St, used it quite heavily in the first week going through 2/3rds of a 10ml bottle of 24mg liquid so after a week I bought another 20ml of 18mg liquid. Currently sat with 3rd of a bottle of 24mg left and probably 16 out of the 20ml left of 18mg strength. Not had a single cig and maybe use the vape 3 or 4 times a day for a couple of puffs, even at work I still go out for a smoke when other people go out but can quite happily stand and chat for 5 mins rather than actually vape! Even going a day without any before I could get to the shop and replace my faulty battery was easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gentleman Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Got myself a provari with a rebuildable atomiser last week. large initial outlay but the flavour compared to an ego with a clearomiser is night and day. 29 days aff the snouts and counting... I've got one too. Superb piece of kit ? as it should be for the price. Only downside is its weight; I walk with a limp when it's in my top pocket!

Ron Burgundy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Got one last week and it's kept me off the tabs but my concern is how much nicotine I'm now getting. How often do you use them?

Scaffs I use mine in the pub, when having a drink with my hibs mate i find it highly amusing when i'm sat inside enjoying a pint and a vape while he is outside getting soaked in the pishing rain. I'm on patches just now. 5 days since i last smoked, managing, but tough. Do people actually quit completely after using the e-cigs for a while, or have they just replaced tabs with the e-cigs? I have basically just replaced them although i use my ecig less than what i was smoking, I reckon i'll get the nicotine level right down to 0 after a while. Then probably just stop completely.

Since these things do no damage to those around them (farting causes more annoyance) and are much safer than fags you'd think people would do more to encourage us to stop smoking!

I've got to disagree with you there, it can be pretty expensive when you get your first kit but after that it is very cheap, i have a few small bottles of different flavoured liquids that i have had for a few months now, i haven't had to spend any money for my ecig since i got them, so that's over ?100 in just the last few months i have saved that would have been spent on cigs, make the switch, better for your health and your bank balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djf Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Saved over ?1500 since I made the switch to ecigs earlier this year. If anyone wants to quit then can't reccommend enough. The other bonus which you might not consider is that you'll save even more as you won't have to go to the shops on a daily basis where you'll invariably pick up other crap you don't need.

Jamboman1512 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Anybody use atomisers with a drip tip, i have just started using one, get great flavour from it, good for when you're in your house, not ideal for when you're out and about, just add a few drops of liquid then vape away till the flavour starts to go then drip some more, good for testing new flavours instead of filling up cartomisers/clearomisers/tanks. Currently using mine with a bubble gum flavour liquid, mmmm. i'm using one of these cheap ones - http://www.vapeescap...html?cPath=7_28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaby Ewing Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Bought a proper one yesterday and haven't had a snout in over 24 hours. Been far easier than anything else I've tried, including having a drink last night and coffee this morning. Only thing I'm slightly worried about is being a total malco earlier and spilling a fair chunk of the liquid on myself when accidentally unscrewing the wrong bit as I went to change the battery.
