looking for e cig setup, want to quit tobacco. .

Smoking anything isn’t good we all know that. I’m not looking for any advise on quitting or anything. I also don’t encourage anyone to smoke any kind of cigarette.

That being said I realize this isn’t the proper forum either but I know some people here use e cigs and i’d like to ask if you could help me.

I’m looking for a complete setup. Something that will last at least a few hours using a few min at a time. I’d like to have it not too big. Can use any batteries and im willing to get charger and batteries too.

I have no idea whats good. I’ve seen lots of stuff on fasttech etc and im unsure of what is quality.

Thanks for any replies and if wished I’ll delete post ( don’t want to encourage smoking)
Please keep posts to suggestions for ecig setups only thanks.

If you’re looking for something not-too-big, I couldn’t possibly suggest anything better than an eGo spinner kit.

Get whichever of the battery options you like - the 650mAh lasts for many hours and is smaller, the 1000+ lasts even longer, but it’s a little bit bigger.
For Cartomizer, get either the Kanger T3 (my preference) or the eGo Clearamizer (also very good)

There are other places to get the Spinner/twist, and I have no affiliation with MyVaporstore - it just happens to be where I buy from.

For liquid, I’m a huge fan of Tasty Vapor. http://www.tastyvapor.us/
There are other places, but the consistent quality, good service and AWESOME selection of flavors keeps me going back.

Fantastic site and recommendation pilot. Has everyhing I need. I’ll be ordering a couple different sizes just to have options. If it works out I’ll be one happy guy. Less lung damage and more money for flashlights. Win win. Thanks again.

Happy to help. Good luck! I quit cold-turkey using an eCig about a year ago. Literally - Pack and a half a day to nothing in one day. That was after smoking for… a long… time… Hands down the best thing I ever did for myself. I still enjoy a puff on the eCig here and there, but I don’t even buy liquid with nicotine any more - The eCig flavors are good enough to enjoy “just because”.

I was absolutely amazed how well it handled my cravings. I started with liquid that was 24mg nicotine strength - did that for a few weeks. Then I started buying one bottle of 24mg and one bottle of zero nicotine and mixed them… Slowly got myself down to zero nicotine, and I swear I never even noticed. One day I realized I was smoking the zero mg and that was it. Nicotine addiction GONE. I still get the craving for the ‘act’ of smoking here and there, but the eCig is plenty to cure that desire even without Nicotine.

Awesome product.

edit: If you decide to buy from tasty vapor, I suggest getting the mix with 20% - 30% VG. It makes the liquid a little less harsh on your throat.

If you’re looking for a suggestion, this is my absolute favorite TastyVapor flavor.

Thank you for your story and recommendation. I have quit a few times before, but like you say, the act is what keeps me going. I’m probably going to go with just flavor and I’m sure I’ll be ok. (I’ll get nicotine one for my friends to try, anything I can do to get people to quit)

With a 1.5 yr old boy I hate smelling like tobacco and it lingers on my hands and clothes. The smell and health issues with smoke, im sure vaping isn’t “healthy” but probably better, make me want to stop. I want to be able to run and play without being winded and not to mention any other side effects of tobacco smoke.

My birthday is coming up soon and I can’t see any better present for myself then being “smoke free”.

Thanks again.

As somebody who joined the 100% smoke free club only a couple of weeks back there is only one thing I can say…

DO IT!

It tastes better, costs less and you will feel better than you have in a long time in just a few days.I’ve tried other ways before and vaping has proven to be by far and a way the easiest ride of any of them. I spent a couple of months moving from analogue, I had a couple of bad weeks over a two month transition but the general trend was in the right direction. Finally decided I was ready to make the change and haven’t looked back since. I’m now at the don’t actually want a stinky cig thank you very much stage - I’m staggered by the change.

Get yourself a few flavours as your tastes will change very quickly in the first few weeks, many people who were ardent tobacco heads end up on fruits. Also don’t worry if you do fall off the wagon, as you’re getting a nic fix from the vape it’s no where near as hard to start again.

You can do it!

I’d order up a bunch of small 5-10ml bottles of different flavors of juice. That’s the ticket to making it work. The juice that works.
Any of the cheap ego kits from fasttech would be a good place to start with. Then from there you’d know if you need more power (battery mod, vv, 5/6/7.2v…), different attomizer (dual coil, tank, dual coil tank, higher/lower ohm), higher/lower nic juice…. It’s really a never ending search for your perfect vape (sound vaguely familiar? :stuck_out_tongue: )

One word of warning - don’t cheap out. You don’t have to spend a million bucks, but if you go for the really cheap stuff, I can tell you what will happen…

1 ) You’ll get it and try it.
2 ) You’ll think… Hey, this isn’t bad. I can cope with this…
3 ) You’ll buy flavors and vape away and even start to like it BETTER than a cigarette
4 ) You’ll have stopped “Smoking”
5 ) All at once, all your batteries and/or atomizers will die
6 ) You’ll realize its going to take at least a few days to get replacements
7 ) You’ll buy a pack of cigarettes
8 ) Start back at step 1.

Watched it happen to my friends that went the “Really Budget” route. You don’t need the 200 dollar battery packs and 86 coil atomizers, but go with something reputable. KEEP Spares. I’m not kidding - if you run out of ‘parts’ (they do have a lifespan) and you’re not free of the addiction, you’ll be right back on the fire-sticks.

Withstanding PilotPTK, I suggest not to rely on such cheap products that makes you dependent. Keep a strong will for what you have decided. I gave up my 17 years of smoking with just a strong will, fistful of chocolates and consuming health drinks frequently made me forget that I was a habitual smoker. http://tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.com helped, inspired and boosted my confidence that I could do and I won.

that is very true. i may always suggest cheap ego kits, but im referring to them as cheap in price to get started not quality. also, try to keep at least two batteries at all times. when i was using egos, i had something like 5 or 6 at any given time in rotation. i also had a handful of regular 510 batteries and a janty stick in the car attached to a usb power source.
also, these days just about any gas station has those 1 time use ecigs at the counter. i dont recommend using just those, but if you are in a pinch they will work. usually priced at $5-10, they are not cheap… but hey, $#!T happens and sometimes you need to bite the bullet to make it through. sometimes i will forget a spare set of batteries, or my atty will die, and i will need to buy one

I used Snus to help me quit 5 years ago.

This thread has inspired me to try vaping, I’ll likely order a starter kit from fasttech, but any recommendation for a Liquid supplier in the UK?

try this UK based forum cat. quite a few faces from here

Top man gords , much appreciated

Just quit.

It may well be simultaneously one of the hardest yet most rewarding things you may ever do.

I’m down to around 20 a month, and have been for over a year, I don’t smoke during the week now, just a couple at the weekend with a beer, so I was hoping that an ecig with no nicotine would be a good substitute.

I literally went from getting my ecigs to not smoking like that. dropping to zero or low nicotine, depending on availability took one order of eliquid.

they are helpful but addictive in their own way. an addiction familiar to many here, namely shiney metallic tubes arriving in the post from places affar and all the tinkering that goes with it.

And then, the hunt for the perfect vape.

I’ll hold my hands up, I’m having a hell of a lot of fun with it, but I wont lie, I get a new build and a new flavour that I like, I tend to hammer it for the first day, even worse if I’m on a long driving job, once the novelty wears off, I go back to a more sensible measured approach.

As an example, I picked up a new supply of eliquid this weekend, in the selection was an aniseed flavour and one called hot cinnamon, I also built up a new coil/wick set up that really did it for me………

I’ve had to lock up the aniseed and hot cinnamon because I dont want to use it all up, its really really nice. The coil and wick set up? well I just replaced the wicks tonight and now I’m trying out other flavours in the same set up.

its certainly a far cry from buying a pack of amber leaf and some filters and rolling up, thats for sure. If you can quit cold turkey, well thats cool, I did it once, but found it easy to slip back into the habbit with a smoking partner. Now, I absolutely wouldn’t go back to cigs, if I ran out of batteries and eliquids or a coil failed and I couldn’t repair it, I’d just wait, but I do do my utmost to ensure that that is not an issue for me.

bob over to the vaping forum, we’re pretty much all newbies ourselves but we do our best to help anyway we can. The advice above is good, don’t scrimp on the initial purchases, don’t be affraid to try flavours you perhaps wouldn’t have considered and definitely dont cheap out on tanks, a good (good really doesn’t need to mean expensive) tank makes a hell of a difference.

If there as good as the review, Just found some here in www.safercigs.co.uk/ASPIRE/cat705284_2105949.aspx

Is there a vaping forum that is like BLF where there is budget (cheaper) items and other better items also?
