      I work in a small shop, only five guys, all smokers. At this moment, only one still light up stickies. At first, they looked strange at me, laughing. Now, we change impressions about liquids and such. One of them tried a fag yesterday (don't understand why) and he told me he was so close to puke .
      I'm 18 days smoke-free, which is A LOT for an ex-smoker.

        It was 8 weeks smoke-free for me yesterday. 😍

        My chest doesn't wheeze or crackle on exhale. I could never completely clear my chest, now my lungs feel clean. I don't cough any more.

        I feel like my lung capacity has tripled. No dizzy spells, I can blow up balloons without passing out. My VO2 levels must be off the scale now, I can run and train without any noticeable shortness of breath.

        My blood pressure has reduced. When I coughed from smoking, I could feel intense pressure in my shoulders and hands, like pins and needles pain. I discovered this was a sign of very high blood pressure and it really scared me. I have not experienced any such problems since. My resting heart rate has also decreased 😄

        My skin looks better. Less dry, and "grey"....smoking gives a grey transparency to your skin and ages you quicker. I used to have black bags under my eyes constantly, no matter how much I slept. Now they have nearly gone!! I look so much better and feel more confident.

        WOW. What a difference.

                My friends and family are still using EGO tanks so I will get them to try the EVOD instead.

                Just took a picture with my toys Oli, you can tell your friends that EVOD is at least as good as any EGO tanks, if not better. But they look ten times better!

                  Cheers Stefan.

                  I really want one of these vape stands, the smaller hole is to hold your atomizer at the battery connection while you change the wick and coil. All the other vape stands look like spice racks 😆 They also do a stainless steel version but I can't find a picture, I think they do a range for the EGO too.

                      Do you think that's how they manufacture them? It looks like ceramic, can't be certain.

                        Ceramic, plastic, who knows. Either would be fine I'm sure and both are easily printable.
                        It was just that I thought you were getting into 3D printing, perhaps I'm getting confused again.... oi vera.... have I had me meds today?

                                      Tried some new E-Liquids yesterday from a different shop....Huge difference!!

                                      There really is lots of variation in throat hit/flavour/vapour production trade off between manufacturers. It's all about personal preference.

                                      The new blueberry flavour I got is just beautiful. The old blueberry I tried from another shop tasted too artificial. This new brand I'm using are fantastic, the fruits really taste natural.

                                      Now the new liquids are MUCH thicker, almost like treacle. This is because they contain more VG in the ratio. This suits my Kayfun rebuildable perfectly.....so I suggest if you're looking at liquids and want more vapour production just check how thick/viscous it is.

                                      I tried a brand which had no VG in and throat hit was too harsh with little vapour.

                                      Normally I pay £20 for 50ml, now I pay £26 for 100ml, so almost half price!!

                                      edit: i bought from a UK company who I thought had initially ripped me off, but they apologised for delivery delay and parcel is on its way. 😄 i'm really loving the VG based blueberry flavour, so glad everything is resolved!

                                        How's everyone getting on? Gone a bit quiet recently.

                                        Stefan: my girlfriend and my mother are now using the EVOD atomizers, as per your recommendation. They do look better than the EGO and there are no leaks at all. This is the main reason they wanted to ditch the EGO atomizers, they occasionally leak through the mouthpiece. The coils are also 3x cheaper to replace. So thank you for that! 👍

                                          I was only thinking of this thread today when I was cutting lawn.

                                          I'm interested to hear how everyone is doing off the smokes
