E-cigs
« on: 09 January 2014, 01:34:59 pm »
Ok thinking about trying one of those E-cigs
Anyone out there use , used or have one
If so which one and how do you rate it any to avoid because there rubbish ?
 
 I've looked at loads of web sites but I cant find a comparison web site
 
they all seem to only sell one make ! a few different models maybe
 but that all
 
to be honest any advise would be welcome !

They are not 'giving up' smoking, its just a nicotine replacement.

I'd love to be free of nictotine  :(

hi, snapper,..i use the VIP..ones reason being they the closest to hand rollin fags i could get?..you get atomisers that screw on the ends!!...a pkt of 5 costs around £7.00 off there site on nett?...a starter kit costs in the region of £15..t..20quid....you can get diffrent strengths of atomisers 16mgs and 24mgs"...i find the 16,s suit me best?...they have diffrent types also?..ie,...hand rollin tobac,...ordinary filter type tobac,..etc,..been using one for 2yrs now and they very good!!...the equivelent of five atomisers is approx 200..fags based on approx 40 decent puffs of each!!....cheers clive

So your getting about 8000 puffs per atomizer?

That cant be right.....

*my bad, thats for 5 atomizers, so thats 1600 puffs per atomizer, still seems a hell of a lot?

Looking on their website and there seem to be two sorts, cigarette looking ones or pipe looking ones.
Which ones do you mean, got a link for me?

we sell these on our stall, and most of the vapours are actually nicotine free, the strength is of the liquid if you read them carefully there is no actual nicotine in them bubble gum, root beer, and coffee are the fav flavours at the moment, although a lot of women like the chocolate

It does indeed add up. Even with the "cheap" fags (for e.g. mayfair), at around £7.30 per 20. 20 a day is still £2600 odd a year. thats just shy of 4k if you smoke 30 a day!!

I try to explain this to my missus who smokes and she says of course it sounds like a lot if you add it up like that  :rolleyes :lol

Few of my mates reckon these are better than the cheap cartridge ecigs. the evape gives more to back of throat for less suck and ofcourse various flavours and nicotene strengths to be had


Not tried myself as I just said foc it and stopped without gimmicks:)

OMF do you mean the ones in the you tube clip are the ones you sell ? if so do foccers get a special deal ?
 
do you know which flavours have nicotine in ?

A mate of mine swears by his Tornado. I've had a couple of blasts on it and it definitely hits your throat. Plenty flavours too.

Very basic you get two types ones that use cartomisers (like a refill tip) and others that use a tank which you fill with a liquid that you then vape (this being the cheaper way of doing it) the tank will require you to change the atomiser dependant on use. They come in many different strengths from 0 mg nicotine upto 54mg
Have been using different ones now for almost 3 years big thing to remember is to take longer slower drags
yes you can get a fag hit off them dependant on what MG you choose (would say 18 or 24 to start)
Lots of flavours to choose from   
Dont ask it's a chef thing
