I've suggested getting 2 starter kits because I know you will be better supplied - 4 batteries, 2 chargers and 2 atomisers will keep you much "safer".
But just get started.
veronarona
any advice on the juice.
thanks.

When you're starting out, don't count the fags you do smoke - just count the ones you DON'T
It keeps you thinking positive, realising how much better off you are, no matter what setbacks you may encounter!

Power now back on & even though Veronarona has kindly replied I'm going to C&P my reply ;D
If you buy from a good seller you will get two batteries with the starter kit - this is essential as you need the spare battery while the other is on charge. (sadly some sellers make their starter kits appear cheaper by only supplying one battery - IMHO that makes the starter kit as useful as a chocolate Tea pot!)
As Veronarona says, it works out cheaper to buy 2 starter kits than all the spares seperately. However, if you are looking for a minimum spend to begin with just to see how you get on with the e-cig - go for a starter kit with 2 batteries (can be bought for approx £25.00) plus a bottle of e-liquid (juice) & yes a spare atomiser - though not essential to begin with you will need it at some point.
No need for any blank carts at this point as you can refill the carts with the juice.
As you are a 35 a day smoker I would recommend either 24mg or 36mg juice - if you find it is too strong for you, it can be cut with glycerine. You can buy a small bottle of glycerine from most supermarkets (in the baking section,next to the food flavourings) for about 45p or a large 100ml bottle from a chemist for about £1.00.
As for which flavour e-liquid to go for -that isn't an easy one to suggest as it is all a matter of taste. Hand on heart - there isn't an e-liquid (yet) that tastes exactly the same as a real cigarette.However, many people end up preffering all the different different juice flavours to the taste of real cigs. My favourites are Hilton, State Express (tobacco flavour with a peanutty taste) Black Tea (very dry) & surprisingly Cream flavour. Others have ended up loving the fruity flavours or chocolate/coffee for instance - sorry I know non of that is much help but it really is a matter of taste
one question when you get the bottles of juice is there enough room in them to water down,or do you need another bottle.

just a thought,because im just starting to stop would you peeps say go for a tobacco or flavour from the beginning,tobacco may help ween me off but flavor mean the start of a change.
again sorry for all the questions but im really desperate to stop the fags.

You're driving me totally nutz
You'll get tobacco-y flavoured carts with your kits, you might as well get a smallish bottle of tobacco-y juice. Whatever you get you'll have to be prepared for sweetness in it, it's the propylene glycol base. Nothing will taste exactly like tobacco. Marlboro, Hilton, 555, and I think there's one called Tobacco... www.oksmokey.com does Golden Virginia, he's not had it for long and I haven't tried it. I have tried the Old Holborn Double Flavour thinking I could mix it with VG and retain some flavour, and it's OK-ish.
I wouldn't go for non-baccy flavours to start with - although my favourite is cappuccino but it's only made by Janty.
For god's sake get yerself started, you can branch out when you know what you're dealing with.

George @ OK Smokey is doing a Christmas Special with coloured e-cigs, you get 2 atomisers, 5 filled carts and 10 empty carts, plus a tin and "padlock" :huh: for £33 delivered (his prices all include P&P). His juices come in 15ml bottles - why not try the Golden Virginia 38mg :eek: @ £8.50:
http://www.oksmokey.com/store/product.php?id=275
and an extra charger, maybe a mains charger (the one that comes with the kit is USB which you plug into your PC, but it could be handy to have a mains one as well), that one's £6:

The e-cigs are very dashing, metallic coloursGeorge is a quick sender and is responsive to any problems.

You are just as likely to work out the maths as I am (which isn't very likely, actually :rolleyes: ).
Get 2 starter kits from Simon @ https://www.ecigs.co.uk from this list, according to (1) what's in stock, (2) what colour e-cig you'd like, and (3) what colour LED (light on the end) you'd like:
http://www.e-cigs.co.uk/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=10_88
and a bottle of "Regular Tobacco" juice Extra High 24mg (it's higher than the carts you will get with the kits, but not so high that it'll make you dizzy, and you can dilute it with VG):
http://www.e-cigs.co.uk/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_103_30&products_id=1272
