    I am now in my 1st week of NOT smoking a real ciggie, don't really want one to be honest but I am a little grouchy today In have 1 battery gone dead on me, thank goodness I also bought the SD keyring. I am feeling itchy and hungry all the time, fine if I am popping mints all day but not much good for the waistline HaHa.

    Is the itchiness down to tobacco withdrawal do you think, or is it just me going loop?

    I am having to refill more than ever now ,last week I could go 2-3 days, now it is everyday yet I am not vaping any more than usual.

    Wonder if I used the patches it would be better, or are you not meant to use them whilst still taking in some tobacco.?

    Hope this feeling goes away soon or I will give in and start on the real ciggies again as I am very weak willed.

    Perhaps you need to change to a new cartomizer? They don't last forever and do tend to loose absorbency!

    That makes sense Karma....

    I'm having probs changing cartos (boge LR's) in a chibi tank on a lavatube...how many holes to punch. How wide (how many turns of the carto punch)...how long to soak?

    Erme, ask one of the guys on the other forum! I was kindly given a mod tank with a punched carto, i condom filled the carto as usual then just popped it in the tank and used my spikey thing to fill up around it! i have no idea how to actually punch one though! I thought you wwere best using SR on a LT?

    I'm now the proud owner of a Paws Mod (bright pink with purple paws), thanks for the recommendation, just waiting for some SYB bats to charge so as I can give it a whirl!

    I doubt I would ever get my head round all the bits and bobs to do with a tank or mod, I am still happy with the riva and sd keyring and have no urge what soever to upgrade - 8 weeks today since I last had a real cigarette so tomorrow 8 weeks totally without
    Need to get back to getting finances under control now kin kid at uni as savings are zilch

    Very well done Prep! And you are right, you don't need to get your head around all this other stuff to quit smoking with e-cigs :)

    I'm so pleased your set up is working well for you :)

    I had my last cigarette on 31/12/2011. Since then I have been exclusively using my electronic cigarette (a Totally Wicked 'Tornado Tank' in pink) and I LOVE it. Never going back.
    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    I think I have the carto fixed....3.5 turns sort of sorted it....

    But now I think I punched it annoyingly (cos it's a nuisance and don't look 'right' though I doubt it makes much diff) too high up LOL
