    As far as I am is concern so I am think that it is not so much helpful for me to get the right deals over here and it would not make me help to find the right deals over here.

    I think you are someone who's primary language is not English? Not sure what you are trying to say?

    I haven't read the rest of the thread (bad of me, I know), but one concern is the quality & quantity of the 'ingredients'. As a (currently) non-medical product, there are very few safeguards in place to prove what the seller is actually selling.

    However, no fluid yet tested in the UK has turned-up anything significantly harmful or unexpected.

    And if you had read the thread, I think you would find this has already been dealt with.

    Also, most of the claims about "dangerous" or "poor quality" fluid components can be traced back to just one scary article, written from a pretty obviously US and anti e-cig viewpoint. Its findings havenever been replicated since!

    There's an excellent deal on right now, £7 for a simple starter kit (battery, charger, e-cigarette thingy) you just need to buy some liquid (£3 from the same vendor).
    Cheapest way I found to try and see if vaping is for me.
    http://paradisevapeuk.vstore.ca/egoce5-blister-pack-p-536.html I can't comment on the quality because I haven't tried it, but it was mentioned in a vaping forum.

    HTH :)

    Just wanted to update since my last post. I am still using the SD Keyrings during the day, for work, but at home I now have an ego-CE4 1100 and an ego twister 1100 (variable voltage). My favourite vaping liquids so far are Raspberry, Cherry, Menthol and a lovely combo of Blackcurrant, Liquorice and menthol ("BLM"). I use menthol or cherry pre-filled cartomisers in my SD Keyrings. I've found very cheap but lovely juices at LT e-cigs (10% discount code is LT10) At 10pm tonight, I will be ciggie-free for 20 days!! :j

    The best thing EVER though, is that my OH (who has mental health issues and has now smoked for 37 years) has now switched to the fabulous vaper I got him for his birthday (the Vgo2 VV Variable Voltage) and is on day 3 without a roll-up - the longest he's EVER gone without a "proper" fag - and he's happy as larry with no intention of going back. :j He's loving the flavours and the only one he's not in any real rush to try is the tobacco one :rotfl:

    I am loving how our house now smells. During a particularly heavy vaping session on Friday night, with us both on the BLM juice, our lounge smelled like an exotic Egyptian shisha bar, but within a very short time all smell had gone.

    Ashtrays are now packed away in the cupboards and now that we are both getting our sense of smell back, I'm busy washing curtains/cushion covers, etc, to get rid of any trace of tobacco smells.

    e-cigs have, quite literally, given us a new lease of life! I'm in no rush to reduce the nicotine from 18mg but probably will one day. It's so lovely not feeling guilty any more, and being able to breathe properly!! :j:j

    PS: According to the quit meter I've got, as of this minute I haven't smoked 489 fags and have saved £178.61. That is more money than I have spent on e-cigs/vapourisers and liquids in total and doesn't even take account of the £4.50 a day my OH has been spending on tobacco/papers. And obviously now I have the equipment, I will only be buying juices - about £35 a month for both of us!

    That is excellent, skint. Well done. And now the EU bustards want to stop you doing it.

    They don't care about the health issue, they just see everybody moving over to these and not paying huge amounts of tax on tobacco, so want to get money out of us all. I have no doubt the bustards will bring this in, as will the UK and USA govts. USA is trying to add 30% tax. Make me sick, you'd think they'd be happy as they are the one's telling everyone to stop smoking as it costs the Govt. too much, but they don't actually want to lose all the tax.
