Any smokers here? Wanna quit?

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.
-
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.
-
Don't do it!! Just get the vape!! And some 0% nicotine E-liquid seeing as you don't have the addiction any more.
-
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. -
So one minute you'll be vaping, next minute smoking crack?
-
I'm already smuggling 10kilos of crack every time I fly.
-
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.

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.

Cheers Oli and enjoy your vaping!
I bought that Evod clearomizer to see if it's better. And it is.I'm vaping right now one of my first juice (24 mg Coca-Cola). The TH is stronger, clouds of vapours. I bought a new liquid, 18 mg apple, but I don't like it. It gives me a bitter taste at the end, although when I inhale the vapours I feel apple and smell like apple. I should mention it's a "VG" type of E-Liquid. Any thoughts about this matter? I mean, none of us talked about this, as far as I can say right now, I definitely prefer PG juice. It was another brand as well. I should dig some more about this, as I'm going to buy another Evod and some spare pins.
I'm still waiting for others opinions, as they didn't said nothing after they started vaping. I'm most concerned about Frederik. It was kind of disappointed, mostly because of the E-liquids. It seams it is important as well, what you're vaping, not only the rig you got.
Cheers,
Stefan -
Getting the right juice is important and in the beginning it's a hit and miss. I got Turkish tobacco (tastes like Camel) Island tobacco (tastes like coconut) Razzlemint (tastes like raspberry and mint) and Premium menthol, I hate the menthol as it's like sucking cold air on a frozen morning, I occasionally use the Razzlemint but it's meh!, I have however created an awesome juice by mixing the coconut and Turkish liquids.
Next time I go to Vape store I will take the time to try everything (they have over 300 flavors so I best take the time and some water as it will be a long day)
I did find this online that discusses pg and vg, I use a blend of both.

Basically nicotine is suspended in a PG base normally. PG gives throat hit and flavour, VG creates plumes of vapour.
A 100% VG E-Liquid is very thick, like treacle and is normally watered down with de-ionised water. A combination of VG and PG is usually preferred, see video above.
Good news on your atomizer Stefan.
The Kayfun is great, but not without beginner issues. You have to get the coil and wick perfect. I'm getting a burnt hair taste at the moment which is revolting. Plenty of support from cloud9 though and I'm getting better at making the coil. By tomorrow I will understand it.

Here is an image of my Vape store, all that stuff in the back are sample juices to try.
