Good afternoon, gentlemen.
A friend of mine wants to give this vaping malarkey a try but, faced with a huge array of various gizmos ranging from a tenner to sixty-odd quid, is unsure about the best option. Any advice regarding a decent vaporizer, one which offers value for money and readily available refills, would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Pokermonster, there are so many devices available these days that it could be a nightmare for a 'beginner' on which to choose.
However, this site has served me very well for the last couple of years or so and your friend can have a good browse through what he/she fancies, at their leisure. Also, at the moment until the 8th of July they are offering a 30% discount on all E-liquids. Plus, if they use this code in the discount box if they place an order, they get a 10% discount on all their orders, no matter how small they may be: ECR69 http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/ |

You, and your friend, are welcome Pokermonster.
I can't say how glad I am to have discovered vaping - and I never, ever wanted to stop smoking. It now costs me approx £5 a week to satisfy my nicotine pleasure - instead of about £20 a day (which is what my cigarettes @ 2 packs per day would be costing) - without any of the 4000 odd chemicals which are the injuries parts of tobacco. |

I was a 50gm a week tobacco smoker for donkeys years until last August when I switched to vaping. I used up the last
of my one pouch of tobacco, and haven't bought one since. I've gone through a number of vaping devices in the meantime, and have now settled on an Aspire Atlantis atomiser and Evod 50w battery pack. The difference to my health is amazing, breathe easier, haven't had a cough in nearly 12 months, walking uphill is a doddle, and my house smells fresh like it should, not like an ashtray. I make my own e-liquid, muster up a 20ml bottle for pennies.... the mark up in shops is scandalous! Governments around the world are trying to tax vaping out of existence, could it be the loss of tax revenue by any chance? The amount of mis-information being fed to the public borders on the ridiculous. Another website Pokermonster could refer his friend to is http://www.planetofthevapes.co.uk/ They also give discount codes to members. (free to register, as most are) |

ps. A year last February, after moving house, I registered with a new doctor surgery.
One of the things they do with new patients is you have to have a medical. Part of the test was lung function, or COPD test. Luckily I passed, just, but was given the usual 'give up smoking or else' lecture. I had another test at my request in April this year, and have been told I have the same results as a non smoker.

Many thanks, John, your advice is much appreciated. I'll pass on the information to my mate.

I tried taking one to work about two years ago but it kept snapping in my pocket. I could do with finding a heavy duty one and giving it another try.
I really do enjoy smoking though, and the thought of never having another f@g again is quite scary. |

Felt the same way s.kenbo... I wouldn't light another rollie if you paid me.
There's plenty of reasonably priced tougher units out there, you need to go and take a look in one of the vape shops, then buy online at half the price  |

The Kangertech Range are really good for newbies. It's easy to get lost with all the products available. But basically you need two things. A battery (which are universal) and an atomizer (the top bit).
Most people have changed from the CE5 ones (the plastics that used to break/leak) to stainless steel/glass atomizers. You want a battery above 1000mah and ideally variable voltage (VV). Vision Spinner are the top make but beware of the many fakes. You'd be looking to spend £25-30 on two batteries (in case other ones breaks or when on charge) and around £10 on the atomizer. From there on in you'll need the juice (obviously) range from 6mg up to 20mg (highest stronger big throat hit and nicotine rush). You'll also need replacement coils. These are the heating element within the atomizer. Typically your atomizer will come with one or two coils so no problem initially. These will fade after 2-3 weeks use but replacements can be had for approx £10 for pack of 5. A bit of advise for newbies and regulars alike, they've found a dodgy ingredient in the 'creamy' types of e-liquid (such as Vanilla, Custard) with some vendors are using so stay away from them until that blows over. |

if i were a vaper i'd be tempted to use something like this
http://www.cigbys.co.uk/our-products/electronic-cigarette-kits/e-pipe-ii-kit/ or maybe this http://united-kingdom.info-electronic-cigarette.com/electronic-cigars/ and i would also get an urbane accent, a dapper suit, and a much more intelligent and philosophical set of musings. |

John,
Pleased to see you have been successful in kicking the habit, think i am probably at the stage you were, when you decided to quit. Was going to see out the summer and stop, having read the post`s from you, today seems the right time. Thanks for posting and keep it up. |

^ I was like you Clough, just bite the bullet and do it. I did last November and don't regret it at all. I was a 40 a day man. Started on 24mg strength but now down to 6mg.
I have two devices, both from Totally Wicked (they are online and in store). The Totally Wicked One is a great device and because it's shaped like a Zippo lighter doesn't snap in your back pocket. The other is a Tornado II Sub-Mega. Both give more vape than the cheap pen type ones, which are okay to start with but these are much better and more satisfying. http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk/ |
