Boris Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Off to Singapore at the end of October with work and,if Wikipedia is correct, just found out e-cigarettes are banned over there.

DougieHMFC Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 They're banned within our office, which was the same for the last bar I worked in. Why? They're no bother to anyone. There isn't enough evidence to tell if they are harmful or not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold turkey or have the odd cigarette??? Dilemma! Not just Wilipedia I'm afraid, pretty hefty fines if caught. <<Electronic cigarettes are prohibited under Section 16 of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act (Chapter 309), which states that: No person shall import, distribute, sell or offer for sale any confectionery or other food product or any toy or other article that is designed to resemble a tobacco product or the packaging of which is designed to resemble the packaging commonly associated with tobacco products. The offence is punishable, on conviction, with a fine not exceeding $5,000 and in the case of a second or subsequent conviction, with a fine not exceeding $10,000. Please refrain from bringing the said product into Singapore.

Boaby Ewing Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 looking to change my E-cig currently on the Aspire ET BDC clearomizer and i dont really like it what is everone else using ? V-Scope TECC - about 75 notes. Not cheap, granted, and it's heavy - but it's worked better than anything else I've tried for getting me off the snouts. Nine days and counting, even with a few nights on the sauce. Only one real wobble as it ran out of juice just as pint number five arrived on Friday night.

Boaby Ewing Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Genuinely preferring e-cigs to smoking now. It's no longer merely a somewhat passable substitute. E-cig ran out this evening whilst out having a drink with a mate (who only smokes when he's having a drink). Cadged a fag off him before going home and had another from my last remaining pack after that... And it was shit. Now enjoying a last beer whilst watching MotD 2 and happy with the slightly-charged e-cig rather than having a tab. To non-smokers this probably sounds pretty pathetic but to those who love a snout (well me) it's a very welcome surprise. I hope in a month or so the embarrassment factor of whipping out what looks like Doctor Who's screwdriver will see the nicotine habit kicked entirely.

graygo Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I've been on the e-cig for 11 months now and still feel like I'm doing something dodgy when using it outside the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janjo1874 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 It will be a year next month that I stopped smoking cigarettes and started on the standard ?20 job from Vaporized. I got myself an Innokin iTaste VTR about May or June which has served me well (great for working in the construction industry as it's very robust) although getting a bit sick of the iclear 30 tank and the shan coils so I've just bought myself an Eleaf iStick with a Nautilus Mini BVC and they should be delivered tomorrow. Anybody used either of them yet? Also I've been toying with the idea of getting an RTA but unsure how time consuming that can be and how often you need to change the coils so if anyone does this I would appreciate some advice.

Don't know about an RTA but the Nautilus Mini is easily the best tank I've tried. Easy to clean and maintain, no leaks and coils last a good while and are simple to change. I just changed to the version with the 'honeycomb' metal outer cover as I broke my last one by dropping it but this version is really robust. I'm just shy of 14 months off the baccy now and could never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night and day to the iClear tank I've been using on the VTR. I will be looking into getting a metal tank for it too. The Eleaf iStick is also a brilliant bit of kit, alot smaller than I was expecting and for the size it packs a decent punch at 20w. Absolute bargain at 30 sheets. Would defo recommend it. Had another look at RTAs and fancy giving a Kayfun or a Russian 91% a bash but can't seem to find any in black in the UK. Does anybody know where I could get my hands on one or the other?

Boaby Ewing Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Almost dropped 200 plus notes on a hand-carved wooden device just a minute ago. Saving money by quitting and all that Thing ended up looking like an 80s mobile phone by the time you had the tank on top so went for the TECC Curve instead (50 quid). Seems like a really good smoke and the battery should last longer than my previous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I had my last cig on Jan 3rd this year. I just use the basic vaporiser thing as it's quite light and handy just to shove in my pocket. I can honestly say I now prefer it to smoking. Apart from the health thing, I just like that I can puff away on it without the need to go outside and smoke a cig. If I'm out at the football or on a night out, I just make sure I carry a spare battery, liquid and atomiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzroy Pointon Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Three months I had an e-cig. Since then I haven't smoked a cigarette and the vapouriser broke on Thursday. I haven't replaced it and don't intend to. I wouldn't have been able to stop without the c-cig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just using the most basic version of e-cig fro Dr . vapour I was walking along a pavement (as you do) a couple of weeks back on Sunday morning, nice sunny day. A guy about 40 yards in front of me was puffing away on a cigarette for what seemed like the entire time I was walking. The smell was ****ing rancid.

22HMFC22 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Just upgraded to an ipow battery and aerotank v2 from kangertech, can highly recommend both.

mugwump Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Tried an e cig - pencil style, months ago and could not take to it - straight back to cigarettes. Five weeks ago after seeing this thread went into the Vapour Lounge in Broughton Street who gave great advice. Ended up buying an e-grip and not had, or really thought about having a cigarette since. I started off on the 18mg USA mix now mixing the 18 with the 12mg, (though i suspect I could be happy enough with just the 12mg). 30 + years of over 20 a day now feeling pretty confident I can stay of the fags although I suspect it will be a long time before I can go out the house without my e-grip fully charged.

chester copperpot Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 So a more expensive ecig is the way to go, thought so tbh.

Haken Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I usually go to the Vapour Lounge in Broughton St. Was down last week to get some juice. I like trying different flavours but always have a few of the wee bottles of grape. I saw they had a big plastic tub filled with various flavours that they were selling for a pound a bottle. I'd picked out a couple of grape and noticed a sign saying they were doing a box of twenty of these bottles for ten quid. I asked if that was right and was assured it was. The boy asked me what I wanted and I ended up with a box of twenty bottles of grape. 50p a bottle! So I treated myself to a wee Free Dom, which is ginger bread, and a Charlie's Chalk Dust strawberry ice cream. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
