Any smokers here? Wanna quit?
-
18mg is fine. good hit on the throat. I quit on 18 mg no problems. Now I have 12 mg in my other vape to cut down even more. I'd say if you smoke 20 or over, go for 24mg. If you smoke lights and less than 20 a day then 18mg is perfect IMO.
I had the worst possible "setting" to quit but still managed. Felt like life was really kicking me down past few weeks, one disaster after another......but never bought a packet of cigarettes.
I spoke to my father's cancer consultant and he puts nicotine in the same category as caffeine in terms of its negative effects. So don't listen to the anti-nicotine brigade, I heard this from someone in the most senior medical position you can hold in the UK.

So after some research, it appears the rebuildable atomizers such as the AC9 and RSST can be a nightmare to setup properly. Also,the stainless steel wick has been known to cause headaches, which I am prone to so best to avoid.
I am now looking at the Svoemesto Kayfun as recommended on the cloud9vaping forum. It's completely rebuildable but uses a silica wick, so no headache! The flavour/vape production are apparently great but I can't confirm yet.
Here it is in a couple of setups, same Kayfun atomiser, just different batteries/covers.
So Pete looks like I'll be getting the Provari too as it fits very nicely, you can also get a small ring so it sits completely flush. Provari is getting a good review everywhere from what I've seen.
I borrowed this photo from cloud9vaping that I found yesterday, very active and helpful forum.
So my next rig will look like the bottom one in the photo.
Although I will get all stainless finish and stainless mouthpiece too.

Great stuff, I love my Provari, here is an image of what I bought, I like the stainless tanks, lots of supplies and parts.
Red tank for Raspberry mint, clear tank for Camel lights, Black tank for tropical coconut and Cyan tank for premier menthol.

Do you really wish to see my pot kit too? I can take a picture if you want...
-
Wow quite a range of flavours you got there. It's good how your tanks come with spare atomizers. What's ya favourite flavour so far? or should i say favorite flavor
That's the reason I'm looking to buy a rebuildable, you only need to buy wick and wire instead of full cartomizers/atomizers. Very difficult to get hold of though, they are made by individuals instead of big companies so when stock arrives they sell out within minutes. I even had to subscribe to a newsletter so when stock arrives I can get one immediately!
-
Yeah, I have a good variety, so far my go to flavor is Camel lights aka Turkish blend, as it's the one that completely takes my cigarette cravings away. Every tank comes with 4 atomizers so I'm good for a long while, and my Vape store is 3 miles away and they have everything one can imagine so I'm good, oh, they also make custom vapes to order.
They had a Hookah vape as well as a few different skull shapes, a snake and a grenade one, nicely made but some of those custom ones cost $$$$$ -
Sounds awesome! The vaping community is just so helpful, they have vaping meets too. There is one in Dallas, so keep an eye out. Although sounds like that shop has everything you can imagine and staff to go with it! The shop I go to is tiny and only sell one device. So have you still remained smoke free? Glad you are enjoying your experience.
-
Still smoke free, 4 days and counting,last night we BBQ'ed with some smokers, I had no desires to stink like they do now that I can smell it.
-
Congratulations mate. They say after 4 days it's just psychological to go back to analogues. I don't envy smokers at all. I feel sorry for them stood outside bars/clubs/cafes, I'm thinking "dude, just have a vape!"
Strange how smell and taste return so quickly and yeah smoke STINKS!! really bad! After senses return to normal your body begins ejecting the old toxins almost immediately, lung and throat tissue begin to regenerate. Research suggests your lungs recover in half the time you have smoked. So, as I have smoked for 10 years, in 5 years I can assume my lungs will have fully recovered. Until that point you just get better and better...smoking is almost like self-inflicting an illness. Now you need to recover.
Got a new lease of life now, I'm noticing I don't get out of breath running/walking up the stairs. So embarrassing answering a phone panting because your VO2/haemoglobin levels are so badly affected! No more of that shit!
-
You guys have convinced me!
I'm starting up again so I can swap to the vape. -

:lol You crazy Box!To anyone looking for a high-end setup the Kayfun has an excellent name, in fact, I have seen no negative reviews.
For people in UK, cloud9vaping shop in London supply the Kayfun, but they get sold out IMMEDIATELY online. So, sign up to the SvoëMesto Kayfun Notification List to get news of stock delivery then pounce!! Sign up to the notification here:
So I will be getting a Provari V2.5 (like Pete's) and the Kayfun Atomizer. There is also a ring to make the provari fit flush to the Kayfun. I may get the Provari Mini if the battery lasts me all day,not sure yet.
Then all you ever have to buy is Nichrome wire and Silica wick....no more atomizers/cartomizers....you just coil on a new wire and wick (dirt cheap).
Shop links. I have absolutely no affiliation with any companies mentioned by the way, these are just the only guys who sell them in UK. You can buy the Provari anywhere with relative ease.

I'm on day 3 without smoking, and I'm feeling great! How are you guys doing ?
Kim? -
Well done Stefan, you should be very proud of yourself.
Best mod EVER!!!!
-
Don't even joke about it, someone from apple will see that and next thing you know everyone will be sucking on an iVape.
-
iVape
You onto something.
5 days smoke free, this is working.
Oli, when can you tell it's time to change an atomizer (besides categorical failure)

Taste gets a bit shitty. Almost like you can taste the base of the E-liquid instead of the flavour, it becomes quite obvious.

Well you have a different brand, so I can't say with accuracy. On average they last a week for me and I'm vaping all day. If you keep switching between flavours I imagine they will last up to 2 weeks each.
Basically each week I am using one atomizer at £5.
So that's £260 over the year (+ travel)....so you may as well just buy a rebuildable at half that price.
Makes sense to me and you get superior flavour and vapour production. -

Kim?I haven't received my eGo kit - yet...
Hopefully it'll be in my mailbox today when I get home...
(most likely there will be a note in my mailbox with a message that I'm able to pick up the parcel at the post office tomorrow...)I'm looking so much forward to this and my wife have decided to join me as well...
