Any smokers here? Wanna quit?

There are many types Stefan, but I think the clearomizer V3 are reinforced. Basically old ones used to crack for fun! New ones just don't. You may have to ring a shop and find out if they fit your battery OK. But one you are looking at looks great.

Cheers, Oli! Yeah I'll definitely try that one, looks great, you can match the colour with the battery, and the pin/head is at the bottom of the tank. I'm curious to see the difference.
And, as a side note, today I celebrate one week without smoking!

olishea

So you gonna try the EVOD? let us know what you think of any products you try out. The only difference between the new clearomizer and the old ones is they don't crack. Will be interesting how you find a new tank. I really wanna try a new atomizer but kayfun STILL not in stock.

Well done!

I'm amazed how effective these vapes are and how many of you have picked them up!! And actually quit!

Big pat on the back for Stefan!!

I'm regretting buying Apple E-liquid, it's great at first but then reminds me of sickly apple liquor.
Definitely sticking with red bull flavour (AKA Energy Cow and Torro Rouge) I highly recommend it.

Two stories I saw today. Government just can't stay out of your business.

E-Cigarette Vapors Have High Concentrations of Metals // FDA About to Rule; Cancer Society Demands Investigation

http://www.pr-inside.com/e-cigarette-vapors-have-high-concentrations-of-r3629143.htm

schemes at the World Health Organization to try to ban – or more likely tax heavily – it at an international level.

Yeah I see them heavily taxing E-Cigs at some point. I'll buy a serious amount of E-Liquid the day before they do!

With regards to health concerns. Buy an atomizer that does not come into contact with any soldered parts. The kayfun or any other wick type rebuildable atomizer merely heat a liquid on a silica wick.

With regards to E-Liquids...buy one that is manufactured in the US or UK. There are various companies and you can also buy vegetable-based E-Liquids which produce more vapour too.

All I know is, I'm not coughing up brown tar every day.

Another thing, since vaping I no longer get acid reflux which I was taking medication for daily (omeprazole). Bonus!

Funny how "Cancer Society Demands Investigation"...how about you just start with smoking, you know, that thing that is proven to kill millions every year.

They actually tell us cigarettes contain formaldehyde, benzene and CYANIDE....but they are making a fuss over stray metal elements in some E-Cigs. Classic.

Kayfun 3.1 finally came in stock today! I ordered within minutes of the shop opening to ensure I definitely got one. They sell out within a couple of hours. I got mine from cloud9vaping based outside London.

So this is what I ordered today...

Kayfun 3.1 in Satin finish,
Provari Ring,
2 Batteries,
Charger,
Wick,
Wire.

Also ordered a Provari Mini 2.5 in Black Also very hard to come by, sold out pretty much everywhere! I get my delivery on Friday....can't wait!! This means I never have to buy replacement atomizers again; only wick and wire which costs peanuts and comes on a 10 metre roll.

The Kayfun uses a vacuum seal to naturally draw E-Liquid from the tank onto the wick. The wick doesn't actually dip into the Liquid, this keeps things cleaner. So even if you have a tiny amount of liquid left in the tank, you will never get a dry hit as the atomizer draws every last drop. Flavour is apparently enhanced too.

I'll see what it's like anyway, people on vaping forums are referring to Kayfun photos as "vape porn" so I guess I made the right choice.

I'm gonna take a look at the Kayfun, apparently DFW Vapes has stock, I'll try get there this week.

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks no cigs.

olishea

Vape/Render porn all in one video!!

The kayfun comes with the small glass tank and the steel one, so your choice which one to use; see video for variations. You can also get a full clear tank from top to bottom, but I'm not keen.

Damn you, Damn you all to hell, I'm off to buy some Marlies and order one.

olishea

Don't do it!! Just get the vape!! And some 0% nicotine E-liquid seeing as you don't have the addiction any more.

Box

Nice idea, but I think I'll give it a miss.
I started chewing gum a while back to help keep my mouth from drying out while running, never liked gum before, pretty soon found myself buying it by the truckload.
Had to give that the flick too.

olishea

So one minute you'll be vaping, next minute smoking crack?

Box

I'm already smuggling 10kilos of crack every time I fly.

olishea

That must be uncomfortable!!

Provari Mini arrived today. The quality is superb, very heavy little gadget and I love the feel of it.

Now I need to wait for everything else to be delivered tomorrow.

Congratulations on 2 weeks smoke-free Pete!! Still going strong?

Very strong, not even thinking of cigs. Wonder how all the other guys are doing however.

olishea

Well done Stefan!!

I used to be worried about even attempting exercise because I was getting so out-of-breath and dizzy. I used to be seriously into weight training and smoking just ruined that. Even standing up was making me dizzy, I don't think I would have lasted to age 35 smoking at the rate I was. It's sickening to think I was voluntarily poisoning myself for years, I'll never touch a cigarette again.

Solo next month I'm gonna try DIY E-Liquids. Here is a forum link and a video to a well-known vaper called ghoti who shares his recipe. Very meticulous and detailed explanations. (You should find this easy-peasy with your food education background)

+1 on that. I'll make 2 weeks as well tonight. All the words Oli posted in his first post are this thread is true. I had a hard day at work, moving some big furniture, lots of stairs, couple of hours of effort etc. and I didn't felt suffocating like I used to. Somehow , I can't stand smoke smell anymore....
I hope other guys are doing fine. It's been quiet lately.
Cheers everybody!

Kayfun 3.1 just arrived.

Speechless. Works fantastic, adjustable airflow, just perfect. Cracking taste, so sweet. My coil and wick worked first time too

Will post photos later.
