Electronic Cigarettes

[woodelf]

Has anyone tried these electronic ciggies and do they work and from which shops on the high street can they be bought? Ta Muchly.

[jno]

aren't shops under some sort of duty to sell goods fit for purpose? Flat batteries are not, no matter the price.

Hi Woodelf,
Another thumbs up her from me for the Ego. I started on e-lites [the ones that look like a real cigarette] and with Boo's help and guidance found the Ego. I too love to smoke and look at it as not so much giving up smoking as changing brands. I've been smoke [stinky type smoking] free for 16 months now and would not be with out my vaping kit!
My advice, don't bother with the look a like ones, go straight for an Ego!

Hi Lisa (if I may?). Right, if you can remember, of course you can, from where did you buy your eGo (Ego), which model number was/is it, how much and what did you get when you bought it - and what do you have to do now to keep up? I'm sorry for being so pedantic, but if I don't get this right, then I may as well....
And Many Thanks to All who have helped with this.

Yes you may of course call me Lisa!

Bear with me as this will be long winded! :0) But learn from my mistakes lol

You do need a kit with two batteries, one to be used and one on charge, these batteries are really good though and will last a couple of days per charge. And I use mine a lot!

I bought this to start with...

And it's good but you then need some of these... as opposed to the cartridges it comes with...

They attach to the Ego battery and are so much easier to fill with the e-juice/liquid, and give you a better and cleaner throat 'hit'. The amount you fill them with lasts longer too, so you only have to re-fill once a day [depending on how mush you vape]

Then all you need are your liquids! I have worked my my through various tobacco and fruit flavours and now 'vape' menthol. This really is of course a personal choice.

Loads to choose from though.....

For me it was the best thing I ever did in regards to my health and please do feel free to ask anything else you need to know :0)

There are lots of starter kits here http://dx.com/p/quit-smoking-usb-rechargeable-low-density-electronic-cigarette-w-dunhill-flavor-tar-oil-black-138215
I got one from them and found them really good for the price.
Prices start at about £3 for the rechargeable ones.

Aside from the fact that that site is priced in dollars and Woodelf is on the UK buying cheap versions like that really is a false economy. I went through a few of the cheaper ones before settling on the Ego and I know of many others that followed the same path. I really wished I'd gone straight for the Ego and saved myself hundreds [yes hundreds] of pounds.
After the initial cost of the kit I now spend around £6 a month on juice and no more. I used to spend around £250 a month on cigarettes... hangs head in shame and disbelief!

Wouldn't it be better to give up smoking completely,though its really tough I know. Arent these efags supposed to help you wean off, not be a permanent replacement

[divegirl]

As has been mentioned earlier in the thread by Boo and something I echo myself, I didn't want to give up smoking. Its as simple as that really.

I knew I should for both health and financial reasons but I enjoyed it. This way I still get to 'smoke' with out the tar lining my lungs, the smell and at a fraction of the cost.

Some use it as a way of stopping smoking and if that works for them then that's great but as an adult I can choose to vape as long as I like :0)
