Hi All,
I'm not exactly new to the vaping experience - I bought an NJoy set last year, which uses the pre-filled cartridges. I was quite happy initially with it, and had a small variety of flavours, but my interest dropped off a little (though I was a much happier bunny on my long-haul flights last year - even if I did have to do it sneakily because of their unreasonable attitude to vaping).
I think the main problem was the lack of vapour - and I suspect the full benefit soon ran out of cartridges, leaving a rather unsatisfying vape.
I decided to get an eGo CE4 with charger & 10ml of juice in the market last weekend, and I have to admit to being much more impressed, not to mention rather taken with the idea of mixing my own juices (and have already spent £95 on a 1090ml of ingredients).
I've only just discovered that the unit I've bought uses a disposable head, which is a bit disappointing, and research has indicated wide ranging estimates on how long each is likely to last. However, the consolation is that, as far as I can make out, I could add a reusable tank with the battery I have, so at least it's not an entire waste if I decide I don't want to be forking out for replacements on a regular basis.
I've found I've had much greater success in replacing cigarettes with this one - I usually smoke 15-20 per day, which has dropped to 5 per day without feeling deprived. At the moment, I'm allowing myself those few special ciggies through the day - coffee break, after lunch/tea, mid evening - and I'm not being strict about NEVER any more. If I want mkore, I don't beat myself up about it, but 5 per day seems to be sufficient (unless I'm with other smokers). At present, I'm not regarding it as a stop-smoking plan, just a reduction and avoiding picking up the country's tax shortfall as much as possible.
As time goes on, I may cut out some of those special ciggie moments and replace with a vape - and maybe one day the e-cig will be all I'll need - no pressure.
If I get to that point, then I'll start to gradually reduce the nicotine content until I'm nicco-free. Then if I want to pack in the vaping, I will, but no reason to if I want to hang on to the comfort and all the fun flavours.
I find that strict ciggie deprivation timetables just make me edgy, which makes me need them more - so I'm not placing any expectations on myself, just choosing to replace as many cigs with the e-cig as I feel comfortable with at the time.
My nic, VG & PG arrived today, but none of my 19 flavours yet - really hoping they arrive tomorrow so I can play over the weekend!
