I'm not quitting nicotine, I abandoned that idea.

I'm gradually lowering my nicotine dosage, but with five of the six people i work with being smokers, I think I'd have to change jobs to completely give up.

This was key, I got down tp 1.5mg nicotine but hanging with the smokers and accepting the odd biff combined with a ban on campus for ecigs shafted that. I've been on 12mg for a while, going down to 9 again. I can probs hang at 6mg.

Also, some advice for Noxy:

If you're looking for something a bit more advanced, have a look at the various package deals you can get from the online stores. As far as a tank goes, the brands to look out for are Kanger and Aspire, they're generally reckoned to do the best tanks around. If you find anything from them with adjustable airflow, that should be decent. The actual device that you attach it to has a few more options, with quite a few brands who do decent kit, but I'm not too sure if you can go too far wrong here as long as it's got variable voltage and/or wattage. Also, don't worry too much about the listed wattage levels for devices, that won't affect you if you're just getting started. Keep an eye on what people say about build quality, and you'll have to make a choice between something with a built in or replaceable battery. A built in battery tends to be the slightly cheaper option as you don't have to add on the cost of a charger and spare batteries, with the downsides being that when the internal battery goes, the whole device is likely to need replacing, you can't keep a spare battery on you for when you're out and about, and, with some of them, the whole device may be unusable when it's charging.

100 ml of what?

My Vamo has been retired, and I've treated myself to a Sigelei Mini 30w. 30w is a bit excessive for me, as I normally only vape at 10, but if I do decide to sub ohm in the future, I've got the option now.

The box itself has a really nice weight to it, despite its diminutive size. The included silicone case and buttons have a great, tactile feel and the size is perfect. Just nice in the hand. It's also about an inch and a half smaller than my vamo, so much more transportable, and won't be constantly slipping out of my pocket. Generally feels really well built and more expensive than the £28 I paid for it (from vape inc. with a discount code. Next day delivery for free too! Seems like a good outlet)

I swear I get a better vape from it at the same wattage too. Highly recommend getting this box if you're in the market for a new ecig.

I also ordered some juices from Manabush. Got their sample pack, £30 for 8 10ml bottles. The first one I tried is phenomenal. Powwow sauce. Nutty, buiscuity custardy goodness, with the merest hint of tobacco, though that shouldn't put you off. Amazing. My. Favourite. Flavour.Ever.

Next one i tried was called Ixicacao, a chocolate based vape, again with a hint of tobacco. It's really nice, but a little sickly. Half a tank every now and again. I'll let you know what I think of the others as and when I try them.

Wow, that's cheap! Have you used them before? Is it good stuff?

There's a place in the UK that is also suspiciously cheap called LiQuid. Basically one pound eLiquid. Not tried them, but have decent reviews on potv.

How long do these things last without a charge? I'm a bit of a shit smoker because I only really tend to smoke in the car (or if I'm drinking). So generally I have 2 fags on the way to work, 2 at lunch and one on the way home. If I just left one of these things in my car how long would it last before I had to take it out... forgot Id taken it out... charge it... die the next day because I've forgotton it... buy fags.

I'd it's just for the car, you may as well buy a pass through.

That eliquid from tel aviv turned up yesterday. Measured it and it's just over 100ml. Two weeks from order to arriving. That's alright like.

I can't say for sure on energy sapping, I've always found fags or ecigs more of a pick me up than anything else, but you'll certainly feel healthier.

Do you feel healthier when you cut out smoking and start doing this instead?

Deffo, more lung capacity, I can vape whilst maintaining moderate to high cardio activity. Nicotine attaches to your blood cells though, tar cakes the lungs if what I said sounded somewhat counter intuitive.

Is it the smoke or the nicotine which saps your energy?

No idea what this is! If you ditch the nicotine, you're looking for something else, I guess that's what you experienced in the past?

Nicotine is an appetite suppressant, this was quite a controversial claim but further studies have found it to be true. It's still a contentious claim despite more recent findings. Eating healthily (or even just MOAR) will improve your energy anyway (o:

What's your liquid like, dawg? Does it taste chemically, like petrol station liquid or good, like regular liquid?

Anyone got any ideas about budget weed vaporisers, the pen ones specifically? The cheapest seem to be about £25 and act more like pipes than vaporisers. The best rated are about £200 which is way more than I want to spend.

I can't help, but am interested in this as well.

I've got one of the £20 ones and can confirm they're pretty shit. It's a bitch to operate correctly and, even when you do, it burns half the weed.

Those ones that fill a bag look like the best, but I've never tried. Another option is to make some juice to go in standard vapes.
