£33 quid - that was a starter kit with 2x 1100mAh batteries
two attys and a free 10ml juice of my choice (went for RY4),
considering I spend aout £20 per week on baccy, it seemed
like a good deal.

Would kind of like a pass-through, and a better alternative to
cartridges, but I've yet to see a suitable option. Tanks leak and
need syringes to fill, cartos seem like a waste.

All in all the idea of the e-cig is great, but the implementation
still needs work to remove the faffing around. That being said,
I've only smoked about 6 analogues since I got it, so mission
(nearly) accomplished.

Oh and by experiment I meant in using it in the style of a Media
Vape as above.

That's a really good deal, actually... Even if you only use it for a couple of weeks you're saving some cash... Use it for a month or two and you've payed for a weekend in the Dam!

I can't say i use a syringe to full my tank... The cap just pops off and i can pour straight in... Some peeps do think thats why they leak, though. I agree about the faffing, but it's outweighed by: Cost, health and not having to pop out to the garage at 2am for a pack of ten!

I managed to stay tobacco free for six months... Then 2 weeks in Spain undid all the good work... That was followed by 5 months of smoking hash... So, it seemed pointless to continue using it since i had to use 'baccy anyway! Still use it at work, or in public buildings.

Never used any of the add ons... Now that seems like faffing to me... I just use the standard kit.

Have you bought many flavours yet?

So out of interest how do these help stop smoking ? They still have nicotine as an active ingredient so ok you may not smoke analogs :roll: fags but surely you will still have your addiction ?

They're not an aid to quit smoking... They're the futuristic alternative :D

They contain no tar, no carbon monoxide or anything else that might kill me, AND they work out a fraction of the cost of real fags.

They really are similar to a Vaporizer(weed) in that they are used to directly conduct the one and only chemical we want, rather than the 1000 we dont.

...And they taste better!

Yeah I did a pick and mix:
mango - tooo nice
peppermint - ok
cinnamon - bit sickly
'Virginia' - nice tobacco imitation
RY4 but in a PG/VG mix to see the difference.

There's some really yucky sounding ones out there
(Belgian waffles?), so it's easy to waste loads of cash.
I was surprised at the mango though - nicer than I expected.

Smoking means combustion.

Combustion means carginogens and carbon
monoxide (that goes for weed too).

By vapourising (or more correctly atomising), you
eliminate the combustion bit - so it isn't smoking :D

Is the Mango one of the Decadent Vapours range? ...If so, it ain't bad at all...

If you do get around to buying any of the TW:Decadent Vapours, i highly recommend the Green Cow, which has a very strange Red Bull taste, & the Apple Pie, which is far more addictive than real fags!


...Honestly, i must have 20-30 flavours lying around that i'll never use just because i love those two so much!

Got mine from Freedom Vape - labelled as such, so I'm not sure it's the
same (unless they all use the same concentrate from China :))

BTW how long do your atties last on average?

You know i must be quite lucky... I never change my atomizer!!! I had two 901 attys that never died, just faded... And my Tornado still has the original atomizer, and that had 6 months of reasonably high use followed by 6 months irregular usage... Although, some can go almost immediately, so i hear.

Just keep them fairly clean and you should be alright.
