Well, I actually prefer them. They are similar but not quite the same. The vapour is just like smoke, the nicotine is there but it's more a case of finding a flavour you like. Most hard-core "vapers" think that RY4 flavour is the nicest including myself.
I recently had to wait for a new atomizer to arrive (my own fault for not keeping a spare in stock), and went back onto baccy for 2 days which tasted bloody awful!!

The link below is my own private site (can't be found via search engines). I sell the same type of e-cig there that I smoke, along with the fluids for it. It's a bit bulkier than a real fag as you'll see... but it's the dogs balls compared to anything else I've yet discovered. The bonus is that it has a "fluid tank" rather than using throw away cartridges, so it's far more effective and efficient than the other types.

Anyway.... it's www.smokeydokey.co.uk ( catchy, don't ya think? ;) )

My friend uses them, there more of a fashion thing than an aid to stop smoking.
Plus she mainly uses them at home, in pubs clubs etc to smoke inside legally rather than to help her give up.
I wouldnt recommend them - my other friend used the NHS service and found them very helpful!

I bought an e-cigarette towards the end of last year from our very own wmrcomputers....his website is www.smokeydokey.co.uk. As it says on the home page, they do not look like cigarettes at all. I know a few people who have bought cheapo ones that do look like cigarettes and they've said they are pretty useless! The one I have is brilliant - very realistic effects, USB charger, choice of flavours etc.

I haven't given up smoking but tend to use the e-cig when at home.

i have now set a date for quiting smoking! 30th march...wish me luck! going to get my ecig wednesday. i'm more determined than ever now after reading all the effects of smoking!
i'm going to start off high on nicotine then reduce it every month until i'm nicotine free...well thats the plan anyway, i just hope i can stick to it!

Personally I wouldnt go too high - I'm a heavy smoker and 18mg was giving me headaches as I was overdosing on nic! lol. 12mg suits most people fine

the market sells them...£10 set
Be VERY careful.
1. They're extremely cheap and have wimpy batteries that don't last an hour or two.
2. As they are extremely cheap the atomizers burn out fast
3. Most of them have chinese fluids - google the dangers if you must.

They're okay for "giving it a try" but that's about as far as I'd go

Well i've just :google: -ed 'chinese fluids' and am now pretty sure that Stafford is suffering from a 'Kidney Yang' deficiency.

If you are suffering from any of the following;

Loose stools
Infertility
Sexual dysfunction
Premature ejaculation
Chronic vaginal discharge
Loose teeth

- it's almost certainly because you voted for Lefroy.

i looked at the ones on the market. they use cartomizers. i'm won't be buying mine from there though. there isn't enough information about them for my liking.

A few posts under my belt
I gave up smoking just under a year ago, and went to e cigarettes about 4 weeks after I quit.

I am now addicted to my e cigarette and its upkeep costs me far more than my 1 pouch of rolling tobacco used to cost.

I have tried a few e cigs but for reliability I tend to use my Titan 510.


Prior to quitting I smoked for 25 years (since I was about 13) and giving up was easier than I thought it would be (though it was still hard!!)

Although I don't intend to smoke again, I just feel like a smoker who isn't smoking at the moment.
And my voice is higher.

Which e-cig did you go for in the end, if you don't mind me asking?
