I went back on the fags recently and decided yesterday to switch to an electronic one, so, not knowing anything, and unable to find any honest reviews on the web (have you seen how many vape sites there are !), I just bought whatever Tesco were selling, which turned out to be a thing called the "Cirro 2". I've had it a day an it takes a bit of getting used to, but I'm wondering what other folks experiences are ? It tastes a bit cold and 'dusty' compared to a real fag and I don't know if this cough is just the shit from the fags I've smoked recently or this electronic thing.
My mate - and my hairdresser I found out yesterday, both use this stubby type one with a digital numeric display on the end - I haven't been able to find out what ones they are though.

I'm not so keen on ecigs; even the high strength don't seem to do much IMHO. My first vape was from Tesco too; a basic black, pen style one. The main issue I had with that was liquid spilling out and eventually clogging up. Last Xmas I got a 'tank' style vape which is perfect for me. I managed to find a cheap generic pen style one too recently.
It's kept me off the cigarettes for just over a year, mainly I guess, because it's about as close as I get to lighting up without actually doing so.

- I think some of the people using these are kidding themselves and you are no better off than cigs - maybe less carcinogenic but plenty of other dangers that are just starting to emerge and even the carcinogenic thing can vary from one vape juice to another ......latest scare is vapes causing 'popcorn lung '

When you want to give up, this might help you. Ridiculous habit.
He didn't piss about with liquids or modular stuff. We went to a McColl's corner shop and they had a little cig a like thing called NJOY that was like £8 for everything including a carrying case and batteries and a few capsules. It looked really good value. No fucking about with liquids, one part is the battery, one is the nicotine, you just chuck the cartridges away when you are finished. The carrying case carries 2 ecigs with the rechargeable batteries (incase one runs out you have a spare) and the cartridge attached ready to smoke, 3 spare cartridges, and in the bottom is the adapter for charging it via usb, so it is all there. And it is about the size of an iphone 5.
He tried stopping loads of times, but it took him maybe a couple of months with that and he hasn't smoked for over a year now. (Yay)
Apparently it wasn't amazing, but then, if you spend hundreds on proper modular vape kit, then it will be quite nice, and you will never want to stop. At Least if it is mediocre then you won't keep on doing it. He smoked Drum and it was enough to give him his nicotine fill.
Blu do a similar thing as well.
Also my girlfriends step dad has pretty much the most kitted out drip based vaping system you could get, hundreds of quid, its fucking cool as heck, he messes about with loads of flavours and nicotine levels, massive thick clouds, loads of cool settings to mess with. But at the end of the day, if it is that cool, and you have that much money invested in it, I wouldn't wanna stop.
Vaping is safer than smoking and could lead to the demise of the traditional cigarette, Public Health England (PHE) has said in the first official recognition that e-cigarettes are less damaging to health than smoking tobacco.
The health body concluded that, on “the best estimate so far”, e-cigarettes are about 95% less harmful than tobacco cigarettes and could one day be dispensed as a licensed medicine in an alternative to anti-smoking products such as patches.
To produce flavour and smells they add a shit tonne of additional additives you don't want. I could list them but if your not a chemist it's just a list of joined up words that score a lot in scrabble.
I used to regularly get bronchitis, a 48 hr virus would inevitably lead onto it, but since I started vaping I haven't had it once.
Funny how the new regulations play nicely into Big Tobacco's hands. Vaping will become less prevalent and people will go back to fags.
When I've heard people talk about them it sounds like a hobby listing the equipment and the flavours, more like someone who has bought a nespresso machine than someone undergoing a medical intervention. Bit of an odd pastime from my perspective I must admit.
Also e-cigs will be available on prescription from 2017, apparently.
