    Hi all,

    I'm after a new eciggie kit as a substitute for smoking until I can kick it all together. I managed 8 months last year until my cartridges were discontinued and I slid back to an occasional ciggie as a result.
    I had managed to switch to nicotine-free, fruit vapour cartridges and as yet I haven't found anything similar - any suggestions?
    I'm ready to make the investment, I just don't want to find myself 'relapsing' due to availability issues...

    I started on the Ego C about a year ago and haven't smoked a normal cig since. Most of my friends who have stopped use the CE4 starter set which is £20 from savingmoneysavinglives.org I use the crystal kit from there which was about 35 or 40 pounds but can change the atomizer heads. I also use the liquids because they have the best quality flavours I have found so far.
    Hope this helps.

    I would have a look bout, as you really need 2 batteries, and their C4 starter kit (with 2 batteries) is cheaper elsewhere. Check out the AAEC forum for advice on where to go for good prices and discount codes.

    I know Dave I have tried other liquid but it's never has as strong a flavour. Haven't been able to find the same mix of the bikini martini anywhere else either, so pay a little more for it.

  • Hi all,

    I stopped smoking in October last year using an e cig, one thing that was important to me when i switched over was that it looked and felt like a real one before moving onto the bigger devices at a later date. Haven't touched a real one since and the kit I used initially is still in use now when I'm out and about. Came with a pcc (portable charging case) so I never have a flat battery when I'm away from the house. I won't post the link of where i got mine from as i don't know whether its allowed especially seeming I am new, but if anyone wants info on it I am more than happy to answer pms etc.

    ecigs really are an healthy alternative.

    Good luck all.

    Under the DSR, they should provide an address and a phone number, not just a web contact form.
    I would be careful.

    There are many good suppliers out there which do provide this info.

    Also a quick search of "Bikini Martini" brings up many sellers of it. At much cheaper prices.
    But if you are happy paying £20 for 30ml, that's your choice. I just don't want any newbies to think it's the norm, as it isn't.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    I bought my hubby a starter pack, plus 5 refills (so the whole thing comes with the equivilent of 140 cigerettes, for £20 approx from Cigees.com

    Next day delivery, no messy liquid, but a wee rechargable "cigerette" that glows, and gives off "smoke" (water vapour)

    Now I am not a smoker, but he is doing really good on them, says they are grand, and £20 odd quid for 140 cigerettes can't b bad

    My husband is a serial smoker and quitter, been off them 7 years and then back on them, and this time 10 years and back on them (yes, I could kill him if the smoking doesn't!) But he is off them again, giving it a good go, long may it last!
  • They don't have much choice Smilerdog!

    Have you moved onto a bigger kit now?
  • Hi Karma,

    They were selling ego kits with the tanks which i bought also but they have since took them down cause they found they were leaking and wouldn't sell them because of that. I now use my ego battery with there cartomisers and use the dv juice and keeps me from wanting a cig without trying. I may well try a variable voltage kit very soon.
  • If the ego bats are a 510 fitting, which I presume they are, you could try Mini Vivi Novas or several different types of clearomiser!

    Pop across to AAEC and have a look at the vendor thread and list of discount codes :)
