Mike, I'm having yet another difficult day cos of "other things", and you've cheered me up no end :D:D:D:D

I understand just how you must feel, worrying about your e-cig conking out - I've been watching Mirage for some time, especially as they say they've got an improved battery - you're the first person I've seen who bought it. Well done for being so independent

And please keep us updated.

Fabulous :T

so far, id recommend the mirage to anyone, i went for it purely because how near it resembles a normal cigarette size. I cant compare battery life with any others, but ive just been making sure both batteries are charged up in the morning and it lasts me all day no problem.

do let the other things stop you being focused veronarona,,,,PMA wins the day (positive mental attitude)

I haven't had that said to me for many a year - if I didn't know that the person who used to say it would never smoke, I'd think he'd come back to haunt me

Update on my search for e-juice:

My e-juice finally arrived today from totallywicked and I have to say, Veronarona, U was right..the 11mg is quite weak....it tastes like marlboro extra extra light lol So im gona jump the 14mg and go for the 18mg...il keep the 11mg for when I start cutting down so its not money wasted. For the mean time atleast il have something to smoke whilst I wait for my 18mg from OKSmokey to arrive..Right now to get the right taste I keep toppin my cartridge up after a couple of puffs...hey no complaints, if I didnt try it, i wouldnt have come to a concrete decision as i have.

Thanks as well for the advice mikeouk keepin my fingrs crossed for u...hope i can get to that stage where I dont pick up a normal ciggy...I am seriously hating real cigs now...wit a major passion...

I had a smoking visitor a couple of days ago, I nearly choked

Clio, I don't think it's the nicotine strength that makes the flavour stronger - I mean, if the 11mg Marlboro is not a strong enough taste it's unlikely that the 18mg will be either. It's quite hard finding a flavour that "does it" for you, I haven't yet. I mix mine together after I've used a bit.

I can't be checking back to see what's already been discussed so forgive me if I'm repeating my or others' info... but did you know that Totally Wicked is now doing e-cig juice unflavoured and food flavourings to go with it? Today I got "chocolate & hazelnut" and have mixed a couple of drops into a rather tasteless juice I got elsewhere. The flavourings are all foodie ones though, no baccy ones

If anyone is looking for a non sweet e-liquid, Totally Wicked's black tea is awesome :j

Great throat hit as well, but if you really can't stand the taste of black tea, it's not for you :-)

Mike, you have cheered me up as well

E-cig containers:

I've just been tipped off that Jason of Totally Wicked (whose eBay ID used to be Pillbox38 but he stopped selling there because of fees etc) has had some tins made for carrying e-cigs. On this link one of them is for the Mini (he calls it "DSE" but several models are DSE + different numbers, the Mini is the DSE901).

Just checked out that link they look great - I love the idea of having the two mini bottles with it - I have been wondering where to get an empty bottle so I can mix the 36mg juice with the glycerine

I think theres a combination of things you have to get right before using an electronic cigarette becomes a better experience than a normal one.
1.You have to experiment with different flavour carts or liquid, i know there were certain brands of cigarette I wouldnt smoke because i didnt like the taste, same goes for e cigs.
2.Ive found that I have to draw on the e cig in a different way to a normal cig, its more slow,long and steady and then open the mouth to get the vapour to the back of the throat.
3.It takes a few days to get used to the extra weight of the thing.

this is what ive found anyway and i guess if i hadnt really wanted to quit real fags I might have given up on the e cig pretty quickly. I also think its helped me by buying one that isnt bigger than a normal cig, its just over 9cm long and i dont think having one thats longer than that would have worked.
