in I wanna buy it or do it
I used to smoke less than ten cigarettes a day. Now I use e-cigarettes but find I'm chain vaping! Vape pens might be a better option as low or 0mg liquids are available. I would prefer to buy from a high street store rather than online. Is there a well known chain of stores that sell them? I've only seen e-cigarettes in my local supermarket.

    Which e-ciggie are you using? Nicolites (Sains/Tesco, poss others) do 0mg carts, but quite expensive for what you (don't) get.

    Nicolites but because I'm chain vaping it's costing about half what I spent on cigarettes per week. Supermarkets don't seem to sell the vaping pens which would enable me to buy juice that has low or nil amounts of nicotine. I could buy it online I suppose but don't know what brand to buy. Thanks

    ebay is prob your best bet to be honest.

    all the specialists sites are really expensive.

    just look for ego cartomisers / atomisers and ego batteries, plus a usb charger. youmight also want a carry case, as the pens can eb a bit delicate when thrown in bags / pockets

    stock up on as many spares as you want plus a usb charger.

    ebay also has a lot of different nicotine free liquids, some sellers might sell low nicotine, but officially this isn't allowed on ebay so you will need to message them to ask.

    something like this

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Double-E-Shisha-Starter-Kit-ego-CE4-650mah-with-zipper-case-Twin-WHITE-COLOUR-/111323573245?pt=UK_Collectables_Tobacciana_Smoking_LE&hash=item19eb66ebfd

    this is quite a basic kit in terms of the cartomisers and batteries, but is great for a beginner.

    search youtube for "beginners guide to vaping" videos, they are very informative

    start with an ego with a kanger/evod tank.
    then if you fancy it move on to a vamo or svd

    be careful because the mah on the batteries are not always true. higher the Mah the longer they last per charge.

    I have been vaping since last april. you will be lucky its costing me 10 pound per month.

    all eliquids are made by myself and I use an svd.

    If you are "Chain Vaping" - you may find that you would do better by going-up to a stronger nicotene fluid for a while., then dropping down again after a few months when you are properly ready.

    Its taken a while but I've come right down in fluid stength this way.

    lol I chain vape and I am on 0-3mg. mostly chain vape during times of stress.

    Started on skycigs.... @ 12 mg

    just lower the nic and chain vape your head off with a decent setup lol

    btw try custard , pineapple, sex on beach or coffee(Doppio Espresso (Caffeinated) by decadent vapours , cappuccino flavoured vapes

    triphammer eliquid is ok but its far cheaper to rattle eliquids up yourself.

    Thanks everyone. I'm a bit clearer now. Have watched a video on You Tube about the Kanger Evod. Next questions! If I'm going to buy online I'd like to buy a decent quantity of liquid. How much would be an average month's supply? Also my tongue gets sore as I think vaping has a drying effect on my tongue. The web seems to recommend VG juice instead of PG or a mix?

    I no longer measure my eliquid intake. pg/vg mix is personal preference. I used to be high VG however I am now 75/25 or 50/50.

    vaping sometime makes you thirsty.

    For gourmet flavours try http://www.vapeescape.co.uk expensive
    for plain flavours try http://www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/ ( they use mainly inawera flavourings.) they are cheap
    You may also want to try http://www.liberty-flights.co.uk/ good selection of everything

    if you go down the road of mixing your own LTE sell all the kit and a range of basic flavourings/base nic.
