I stopped smoking and took up vaping last year. Was fag free for a good 3 months.
I'm smoking again at the minute but when I'm not massively fucked up I'll be going back to vaping.
Swedish fish was my favoured flavour. Keep at it de. You can upgrade your kit in time to variable voltage batteries.. You get a much better 'smoke' out of them.

ive got a variable voltage battery but not one with a display, they are a bit manly. but i am gonna start making my own wicks though. have you ever yanked one apart and seen how flimzy the coil wires are?
i keep flitting my flavours. i started off on amber leaf flavour then i moved onto strawberry and now i'm on mental. i don't know if i'm gonna stick with mint though it tastes like neat vodka or i could of put vodka in it when i was drunk last night. Anyway Swedish fish sounds lovely. where the fuck did you get that?

No. I've never dissected a wick.
Swedish fish isn't a fish flavour. It's an American candy flavour. Pm me your address and I'll send you what's left of my 2.4 mg bottle. I've switched down to 1.8.

2.4? i'm on 18mgs, love and i wouldn't like American Candy its sounds too sweet.
there are vid's on youtube you can watch about about coil rebuilding i trust this guy. he waffles on a bit, but about 15 minutes in he get's under way.
and planet of the vapes forum sell all the bits. its basic electronics really, looks kinda fun. i'll let you know if i electrocute myself.

I don't use vivi novas. I use the t2 tank. Replacement wicks are 7.50 for 5 so I wouldn't build my own.
2.4 = 24 1.8 = 18 I'm on 18 from 24. Leftover 24s = sherbet and swedish. If any thread readers want, just gies a shout. They're unlikely to be used now I've dropped.

I moved onto 11mg a few weeks ago can't remember when exactly but am a little apprehensive of moving onto the lowest strength before reaching zero.
i know there is no point in me continuing after reaching zero but i think the act of inhaling is what i missed the most. This week i shall be preparing myself to take the plunge to the low, which could be as little as 8mgs per 10ml. But i've tore my brain away thus far and it's been a piece of piss to perfectly honest so a reduction in sorts shouldn't be such a hardship. i was expecting a bit of a backlash the last time and i never received one which was quite odd. i don't understand how nicotine works with the brain but it seems that my brain isn't as effected as i once first thought. i may have proven my mum wrong. she said i wouldn't cope without smoking. i haven't truly yet but i am not that far off. And i don't have the funny thought of what is the point of life without smoking this time. i did with the patches and i also had nightmares. I thing e-cigs are getting a bad rep for no reason. huh! well, the reason could be because the government are loosing a shit load of duty. Shops don't make that much on a packet of fags. I bought some wholesale and it was less than a £1 for a box of 200. thats 10 packets and the shop owner makes pennies on it. i don't even know why they bother the running of the lights must cost more that that.
anyway i'm happy vaping and wetherspoons are pissed at it.
Any establishments in your area who have gone above the law and banned e-cigs?

I'm all for vapeing, e-cigs whatever the difference is, but I'd prefer not to have them in public buildings. It took me long enough to give up smoking myself and I'm glad that there is no smoking in pubs etcetera. I'd like to see the results of independent scientific research before I'll be happy to be in a room with vaping on a regular basis. I know that the liquid is fatal in tiny amounts if ingested accidentally (ie a child). I can understand establishments not welcoming a inhalent. I've yet to be convinced that it is a safe thing for me to be inhaling. If all smokers swapped to vaping, that would be a lot of vapor inside buildings.

No not really but I'm half and half smoking and vaping again. I just started using a hypertank with a vivi nova so I'll let you know how the wicks go.

There's a lot of vapour in buildings anyway since each exhalation of breath creates it.
E cig liquid is just a vegetable flavouring, a dose of nicotine and a propellant of the same variant as those used in asthma inhalers.

someone was vaping at a gig I went to recently. It smelt like candy floss or popcorn or chewing gum. Really sickly sweet and made me feel ill. I would rather they were outside with it.

So you want smells to be banned? The vegetarians are gonna have a field day if this goes through. Cooking bacon in public will be the first one to go.

heh, I wouldn't go so far as banned, just don't like being stuck in an enclosed space with chemical smells. Air fresheners or scented candles and soaps also make me feel ill. I couldn't work in a store selling them.
