No it sounds better,

I don't want to be associated with smoking now thanks, there is no smoke involved

Don't forget charging doubles it's weight.

:rotfl: OK sorry, couldn't resist that, that's the sort of thing that if someone said it to me, it would make me think twice, even though I know it's rubbish

Hehe I almost fell for it;)

Been reading through all this and the beginners site, still can't get my head around all the different types..still. I think I would rather go for the 'big gun' straight off rather than waste money on the E-cig.

My question here is how much do they cost, where do you buy them, have you really saved any money?

Totally wicked has a £19% money off code only valid today, FACEB191. Just ordered a few flavours to try, was recommend to them by another vaper (doesn't quite have the same ring as smoker, lol). HTH

And with fab flavors such as hot chocolate, cherry brandy, apple, grape, peach, etc going back to nasties is just not appealing:rotfl:

My Riva cost £29.50 for the complete kit, got a free bottle of juice with it too.

Depends on what you want, and I am sure one of the more experienced vapers can advise more fully than me. But I found that the Riva is excellent for beginners, plenty of vaping power and the battery lasts all day.

You can change cartridges & atomisers for cartomisers (all in one), these hold a lot more liquis, so you are not topping up all the time.

As for e-juices 5ml for £3 & 10ml for £5, usually there are special and bulk offers for around £15 - £20 from suppliers

I spend at the moment around £11 - 15 per week on juices & accessories, it varies

Bu yes I have definately saved money since using e-cigs. given that I'd spend around £30-40pw on nasties,

Hopefully this will help you and I am sure the more experienced can correct me if I am wrong anywhere

Come here and ask the same questions.

It's far better than debating it all here.

Just to add.

For me, money saving was secondary to my health.

I needed to stop smoking, because my health was getting worse, breathing was getting to be a problem, my peak flow at the doctors was way down and I didn't need them to tell me that, I could feel it

I haven't had my peak flow measured yet, but I can feel it's way better than it was. I am breathing easier.

But money. I smoked about 6 packs of fags a week. At £7.10 a packet now what I used to smoke.
Per week. 6 x £7.10 = £42.60
Month 4.33 x £42.60 = £184.46

So for the 5 months I've been off fags, I would have spent:-
5 x £184.46 = £922.29

So far on vaping I have spent about £160 on kit and £200 on juice.
So £360 in total

And I have 3 kits, one of which I shouldn't have bought, which was an expensive cig a like, which only lasted 4 weeks before I got fed up with it and bought a Riva.
I haven't been backwards with buying kit, if I think I need it, I've got it, I don't want to go back to smoking

I also have alot of juice, I bought many different types to get the right one for me and have enough to last another 3 months easily.

So £360 on total
Lets make it £400 as it's a round figure and I'm sure there are some other little bits I may have forgotten.
So £400 / 8 months =£50 a month.

With smoking, it would be
8 x £184 = £1472

I have enough batteries and main kit, to last now for a long time.
