Chocolate Rasberry today, just gorgeous. May even rival my beloved Gingerbread.
I've started to really get my sense of smell back, which was not good today in my very public office after people being drenched in the heavy sleet....

Ledaire · 13/02/2014 16:28

It's much better than the black cherry. Glad you like it Smile

I've just ordered three more to try from Allergic's post about premier e-liquids Blush

Ledaire · 13/02/2014 17:46

Cantable the chocolate has arrived. Our post is shocking! Thank you so much, and for the lovely note also Thanks

Ledaire · 13/02/2014 17:47

Cantabile Smile

Cantabile · 13/02/2014 18:41

Glad it got there Ledaire - our post's pretty bad too. How do you like it? Glad you're OK, btw Blush

Allergic, well done. You have inspired me to make a tiny bit of effort towards this no smoking lark, so today on the occasions I felt myself reaching for the fags - which until now I have done without let or hindrance - I have made myself just have another vape instead. So far only had 3 fags - unheard of; since taking up vaping, I'd still usually have had 7 by now. So thank you. This is easier than I thought it would be.

FlockOfTwats · 13/02/2014 18:52

Order going in on premier e cigs.

Its my birthday on Saturday and OH has asked if i wanted to treat myself so contemplating what e cig related paraphernalia i can squeeze out of this. even though i hate birthdays and normally do everything in my power to pretend they don't happen

Ledaire · 13/02/2014 19:00

Cant - it's very nice. I was looking for a tobacco flavour and tried a couple with no luck, but this has hints of it Smile

Allergictoironing · 13/02/2014 19:06

OMG Hangsen Chocolate Milkshake is Da Bomb! Whereas the normal chocolate flavour, though OK, isn't what I would call chocolaty.

Cantabile I found leaving the cigs in a room I didn't usually spend much time in really helped, as you have to think properly about whether you really want a cig or if vaping will do. Mine started in the kitchen (only used for cooking, washing etc & not sitting in) then migrated to the spare bedroom upstairs. So a real cig took an effort, whereas the vapestick was to hand - for a naturally lazy person like me, no contest Grin. Plus I wouldn't just light up out of habit, it had to be a conscious decision.

Ledaire · 13/02/2014 19:19

Oh no - I ordered milk chocolate thinking that choc milkshake would be too creamy. I've had Irish cream before and it was vile.

Gorja · 13/02/2014 19:21

Another draft question..... I bought this yesterday and it was delivered today.

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360829696608?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

When I pick it up it kind of vibrates and feels like something is turning around inside it.... Is this right or has it been damaged??
Can't try it properly yet as it needs charging, but none of my other batteries have done this?

Ledaire · 13/02/2014 19:28

FlockofTwats if you haven't already got one:

My Precious

Allergictoironing · 13/02/2014 19:50

Ah well Chocolate Milkshake IS rather creamy, which is part of why I like it!

Gorja there is definitely something not right with that, a battery shouldn't vibrate & doesn't have any moving parts - think of a torch battery. There's only one battery operated thing that comes to mind that vibrates - are you SURE you've done the right link? Wink

magimedi · 13/02/2014 19:57

I read your post Gorja & was about to give the same reply as Allergic

There is deffo something wrong with your battery - but you could win the "vaping in strange places" comp hand down at this rate.

Seriously - I would be looking at having it replaced.

I personally wouldn't buy batteries off e-bay, you really don't know what you're buying. Go to a reputable online vendor.

Anyway, I've currently got a weird mix of quintessence and vamp vape from t juice in my tank. Not totally unpleasant , but will be happier when this tanks done!

About the final fag thing. The way I dealt with it was just taking the leap and binning all my smoking stuff, fags, lighters, ashtrays, everything. The relief when I did was wonderful! That was 8 months ago, haven't looked back

Ledaire · 13/02/2014 21:32

With all the rain we have been having, a nice benefit of vaping is not having to deal with washing water-filled ashtrays of grimness.

I did keep a couple filled with fag butts to strengthen my resolve for a day or two.

Ledaire I have an ego twist, Is it better than that?? I use my Itaste VV most. Im thinking the itaste 134 mini will make a nice present, when it comes out. Hopefully will have a date for release tomorrow when DP goes into the vape shop (He emailed innokin to ask them).

I have ordered the following from Premier

A vivi nova tank
Red energy
Sex on the beach (Mainly for DP he liked Totally wicked sex on the beach)
Irish cream (For me, i like joose juices irish cream)
Lemon Limed
Juicy peach
Mango
Red delicious apple
Butterscotch
Chocolate strawberry
And Caramel Toffee

Now to wait impatiently for saturday (Hopefully, if not, monday).

Ledaire · 13/02/2014 23:41

The ego twist is the same thing.

Your liquids sound fantastic!

FlockOfTwats · 14/02/2014 00:09

Im quite pleased with the selection Grin

Allergictoironing · 14/02/2014 11:17

Frustrating morning (job interview put back from 2pm to 4pm, then to 5pm) and not the faintest urge for a real fag Smile. Plenty of sucking on the vape stick though!

Ledaire · 14/02/2014 14:02

Well done Allergictoironing - will be thinking of you later today Smile

I vaped in M&S earlier and also remembered using my cigalike during Les Mis at the cinema under my coat. This being because I had to go out for a real one and missed Fantine dying so I wasn't chancing something like that again!

Ledaire · 14/02/2014 17:18

Hope it is all going well Smile

My liquids arrived, all seven of them and apart from the pineapple, all need to be steeped. Hangsen Champagne smelled like it should be renamed Hangsen White Lightning!

I am far too impatient to put then away for a few days so they are nestled with the tops off in little tupperware containers and in ramekins (finally a use for them!) on the airing cupboard floor Grin

KatieScarlett2833 · 14/02/2014 17:30

Fancy a lemon one, happy to pay for a good mix, any recommendations?

Ledaire · 14/02/2014 17:53

I've just bought lemon meringue pie but it's more cakey than lemony iykwim? I was wondering about sherbet lemon as well. Hangsen do a lemon lime if it's fruit you're after. Hopefully someone will be along who have tried them!

KatieScarlett2833 · 14/02/2014 18:01

I'm looking for a sharp but sweet lemony one. Hopefully someone will know Smile
