            Well done Walt, congrats!
            Now, buy some more juice because you'll need to change the taste from time to time. Don't forget to drink liquids more often, because vaping will give you a dry mouth feeling.
            When you'll be buying new coils , make sure you'll get the 1.8 ohms version, like the ones you have with the original kit!
            Good luck!

              So I've been looking for good deals on e juice and found this place. They have e juice base liquids in lots of sizes up to a gallon of base and more flavors I've seen on many sites.

                Wow a gallon of e liquid!!

                I would sample any liquid first before you buy a massive amount. You may get bored of the flavour or mixture quite quickly, try a few different mixes of VG/PG and find what suits you best. I think I've settled on 50/50 for my atomizer.

                I can't believe how cheap E-Liquids are in the states! 😆

                  After reading all these posts ordered one for myself. Can't buy them in shops here so ordered a starter pack from http://www.e-lites.co.uk

                  Should get it by post in a week

                  Seemed a good start for me

                  45 years of smoking, several quits ... did not work... 👊

                  Now is time to quit

                  Thanks Oli

                      Well done Markus! 👍

                      You will find the E-lites are OK to experience vaping, but they are not the best devices. They don't produce anywhere near as much vapour as the atomizers we have tried and tested in this thread, plus you have to keep buying the cartomizers instead of just buying liquid. Bad value for money over time.

                      For a beginner setup I highly recommend the EVOD. Quick, cheap and satisfying. The coils are cheap and easy to replace.

                      For a more advanced setup you need a 22mm mod such as the Provari with a good atomizer such as the Vivi Nova or even a rebuildable one like the Kayfun. This is a more expensive setup but just perfect IMO.

                      If you are buying from UK based shops I highly recommend Cloud 9 Vaping. The online shop is open 3 days a week at the moment as they are currently expanding their business and will be 24/7 shop again soon. They also have a forum for any questions and advice. They are highly professional and helpful and also send a free toffee with your vaping supplies!! 😄

                      If you visit the online shop and it's closed just check the opening times.

                        Found the Cloud 9 but it wa offline (as you said) 😕

                        Bt there was a Finnish site too.... http://www.esmoke.fi

                        They seem to have a great collection of EVOD models.

                        I'll get started first with the e-lites, lets see where it takes me

                        My wife said it was about time !!

                          You will enjoy e-lites but when you compare to an EVOD or better, there is a huge difference. I don't know anyone who has stayed smoke-free using E-Lites...so when it's time to order some more cartomizers for the E-lites, just go for the EVOD instead. Probably works out same price but over time the EVOD is much cheaper; in fact any atomizer where you add your own liquid is much cheaper. I'm not trying to put you off, just making you aware that if you enjoy the E-lItes you'll THOROUGHLY enjoy a better device and stay smoke-free. 👍

                          Let us know how you get on! Best of luck, you can do it!

                          That website looks good. You shouldn't have to import stuff for UK, it's more expensive over here. 👍

                              Hi guys 😄,
                              This is just a wonderful thread.
                              I smoke 20 light cigarettes a day and seeing all the excitement on digital smoking here, I am jumping on 😄.
                              Ordered myself a couple of EVOD BCC clearomisers to be fitted on EGO-C twist battery packs.
                              Basically it's the Sketchup of the e-cigs isn't It 😄,
                              Pete is on the 3DsMax of all vapes (Provaria?) so there is a picking order too lol 😄.
                              As it is not legal to sell nicotine in Australia, I ordered some juice from Hongkong and NZ.

                              It would be so awesome to be able to say that Sketchucation made an end to my cigarette addiction 😄.
                              Hail guru 😄.

                              A couple of weeks before the mail orders are in and I will be vaping away. Fingers crossed 😄.

                              Go for it Chris, I am 11 weeks cigarette free as of yesterday. I never gave up smoking, I just gave up smoking cigarettes, vaping is by far more satisfying.

                                  woo hoo!! more quitters! best of luck guys! 😍

                                  I guess the Ego Twist is a variable voltage battery? Yes I would say you have the SketchUp of E-Cigs but with a variable voltage plugin! 😆

                                  Yeah the Provari is excellent! In fact when I saw Pete's I just had to get one myself! The new kid on the block is now the Svoemesto Semovar, but I won't be changing because I'm more than happy with the Provari. I bought an EVOD as well for when I'm out and about due to its nice small size.

                                  Pete is right, vaping is far more satisfying. Find a good juice and there is no reason to ever pick up a cigarette again.

                                  Speaking of juices; I have ordered a DIY kit where you can mix your own flavours. It works out significantly cheaper than buying 10ml, 30ml or 50ml bottles. Plus I know these have been lab tested and completely safe to vape. This is all the E-liquid companies do....mix up a batch and then sell at an inflated price.

                                  So I ordered:

                                  250ml nicotine PG base (54mg)
                                  250ml PG
                                  250ml VG
                                  Flavour concentrates (Juicy Fruit, Blueberry and Strawberry)
                                  5ml syringes
                                  30ml mixing bottles
                                  De-ionised water

                                  All you have to do is use a mixing calculator and mix everything up. The nicotine base is 54mg because you have to dilute it with the VG and PG to achieve your desired level.

                                  With the mixing calculator you can set your final nicotine level, the percentage of flavouring, the VG/PG ratio and how much E-Liquid you want to end up with; it's really quite simple.

                                  Will let everyone know how I get on and take some photos of the kit. 😄

                                      Chris, twist is SU +Artisan. Like most vapers say, you'll be able to find the "sweet spot"
                                      That means, you'll set the voltage according to your resistance ohms. A sweet spot is the perfect setting for you in order to get the perfect amount of vapours, th, temperature of the vapours. That's very subjective, from vaper to vaper. Check this graphic chart and stay in the green zone! 😄
                                      I started to vape almost when Pete started. I haven't smoked since. I could not thank Oli enough for this thread. So thank you Oliver once again, and congrats for everyone!

                                        Thanks for the Vape chart, this helps, glad to see I was spot on (2,8 Ohm at 4.2 volts), I did it by taste and feel. I agree this thread changed my life, maybe even gave me more life to live.

                                          I admit I am smoking more cigarettes now in anticipation of 'Sketchup + Artisan' to arrive 😄.
                                          Indeed, I am attracted to the variable intake so I can fine tune.
                                          While waiting for mail, I keep on 'lurking' (pun intended) here to 'absorb' more tips 😄.

                                          I can imagine vaping away while reading a 'SU 2014 wishlist' thread, makes the annoyance less lol 😄.

                                            No worries guys, I'm really happy (and surprised) you have all adopted vaping so quickly! I said that if only one person quit I'd be happy, but now there's a whole bunch of us!!

                                            Thanks for the chart Stefan. I had been using Ohm's Law Calculator but this is a quick and easy reference.

                                            Got my DIY E-Liquid this morning, gonna watch some tutorials and I'll make my first batch. Gonna go back to 12mg nicotine, 16mg is a bit too much for me now.
