      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. πŸ‘

      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. πŸ‘

          Hi guys πŸ˜„,
          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 πŸ˜„.
          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 πŸ˜„,
          Pete is on the 3DsMax of all vapes (Provaria?) so there is a picking order too lol πŸ˜„.
          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 πŸ˜„.
          Hail guru πŸ˜„.

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

          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! πŸ˜†

              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. πŸ˜„

                  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! πŸ˜„
                  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.

                      Thanks for the tips guys πŸ˜„.
                      I admit I am smoking more cigarettes now in anticipation of 'Sketchup + Artisan' to arrive πŸ˜„.
                      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 πŸ˜„.

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

                        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.

                              Just mixed up my first batch of DIY E-Liquid (Juicy Fruit flavour, like the chewing gum). It really is easy and very satisfying! Much cheaper than buying small bottles of premixed liquids. Sorted!!

                                    My first observations after having the set ....
                                    Tobacco taste vape is yuk.
                                    Vanilla (without nicotine) is yummy πŸ˜„.

                                    Still smoking cigarettes , meh ...less though , about 10 a day (opposed to 20 before)

                                      You'll find many people start using a tobacco flavour and quickly adopt fruity flavours. I personally can't stand tobacco flavours any more. Fruit is where it's at! πŸ˜„ When you find a good flavour you'll never look back, try get yourself into a good vape shop and sample some. I must have gone through 20 or so flavours before I settled on Juicy Fruit and Blueberry. I highly recommend DIY mixing when you have discovered your favourite flavours. Good work though halving your cigarette intake.....and that's even without nicotine in the liquid! Great stuff!

                                        I dunno, I still like tobacco flavors, especially the Turkish blends, one thing for sure is if I drink beer I do not want to vape a fruity flavor, that is where the tobacco flavor works best.

                                          Maybe I've not tried a good one. I had RY4 for a while but it wasn't for me in the end. I've got a selection of different flavour concentrates to try for DIY liquid, so maybe I'll have more luck there. I do occasionally crave a tobacco flavour when I smell someone smoking....just not had a nice, smooth one yet. Many of them seem to have a nutty-smokey flavour like Marlboro Reds which I'm not keen on.

                                          Can't beat vaping and drinking!! πŸ˜„
