So what nice shiny things did you order?

Ledaire · 16/02/2014 16:44

I ordered a silver case. Not very interesting I'm afraid!

I am looking at Twists now.

KatieScarlett2833 · 16/02/2014 16:53

Currently bleaching my nasty teeth with white strips to remove the last of the cig staining....
Yuck Confused

Allergictoironing · 16/02/2014 17:01

I'm looking at another vv battery (the EGO Twist after the conversation earlier) and a case, plus anything else I think I'll need in the near-ish future. Don't see the point of making 2 orders when 1 will do!

Ledaire · 16/02/2014 17:15

That's a point, Katie - it won't be a complete an utter waste of money bleaching my teeth now. What are you using and is it working?

I've seen a Twist for £17.99 but I am now over the Rainbow one (ha!)

Looking forward to trying the Milk Chocolate from Hangsen but will be passing on Lemon Meringue Pie if anyone is interested in trying that.

Ledaire · 16/02/2014 17:37

Is anyone else finding that along with giving up cigarettes and taste and smell returning that they are more discerning about liquids? I happily vaped one from the Socialites counter that I can't stand now!

Allergictoironing · 16/02/2014 17:46

Gods yes Ledaire - dug up my old cigalike & it tasted vile compared to the tobacco flavour I'm vaping now!

I may have had a bit of a shopping accident at fastTech just now - couldn't decide which size carry case I needed, so ordered one in each of the 2 sizes Shock. But it's all so CHEAP! And the $ to £ exchange rate is such that I had a pleasant surprise when I paid Grin

Ledaire · 16/02/2014 18:11

"Shopping Accident" Grin

I must admit that when I saw the category, "e-liquids and e-solids", I was hopelessly excited until I realised that solids are hardware like batteries and not like... something else. I imagined crumbling a chocolate flavoured oxo-cube into my clearo Confused

The smell thing gets even better. Last week I could smell perfume on people and this week, the actual clothes in the shop. And a cigarette smoked by someone half-way down the high street. He was barely visible!

KatieScarlett2833 · 16/02/2014 19:19

Crest 3D strips, have to say they are working well so far.
And YY to smell, I've spent the day washing curtains Grin

Ledaire · 16/02/2014 19:20

Thanks Katie.

I wouldn't go that far, I washed mine just before Christmas Shock

Allergictoironing · 16/02/2014 20:09

Can't face washing mine until the weather improves a bit, far too cold & damp to be washing curtains! I just keep going a bit mad with the febrese for now.

Ledaire · 16/02/2014 20:16

Fabreeze here too. I like to air-dry them.

I am going to give up trying liquids. I can't seem to get better than JAC Vapour chocolate and cherry no matter what I buy. I have bought similar from Hangsen as a last-ditch attempt but that is it now.

Will focus on e-cig solids from now on.

Also - I've taken to drying my clearos on the floor of the airing cupboard along with steeping liquids. Would this be okay do you think?

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 16/02/2014 20:27

e-cig solids are a thing and you don't want them. Every review I've seen says they're shit and this time we really don't know what's in them!

I'm putting a fasttech order in now for me and DH, I'm getting stubby 1300 mah batteries and twists. Has anybody seen any fripperies I can't do without on there? (already have both size cases and lanyards).

I can't bloody smell a thing because I'm still stuffed with cold Angry

And, my dentist now reckons the staining on my teeth must be to do with all the strong tea I drink because they stain up just as fast since quitting the cigs. AngryAngry I'm not bloody giving up tea.

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 16/02/2014 20:28

Drying clearos in the airing cupboard sounds fine to me.

Ledaire · 16/02/2014 20:32

They're a gel Shock

Hope your cold gets better soon.

magimedi · 16/02/2014 22:17

Flowers that reminded me to take my clearos off the radiator!

Can someone please tell me exactly what these solids are? Am most puzzzled

Arctic Lemon, most refreshing Smile

Ledaire · 17/02/2014 17:17

Hangsen milk chocolate and Alchemist's cupboard Lemon Meringue Pie available if anyone would like them. Ten ml tasters (with some vaped) 2.4% nicotine.

I ordered three new testers after posting last night that I would not be trying any more flavours Grin

Ledaire · 17/02/2014 19:22

Also Hangsen Mandarin.

I really should stop buying fruit flavours. I never like them!

KatieScarlett2833 · 17/02/2014 19:26

I went back to one I opened and left at the start that I really didn't like (maple syrup) it's been lying for about 10 days. It's completely different and very nice.
I'm going to steep them all before I decide from now on.

Ledaire · 17/02/2014 19:34

I've noticed loads of improvement in mine after a warm bath, steeping in the airing cupboard and shaking / air squeezing ten three times a day.
I still don't like them. The universe is face-palming trying to tell me this but I am very optimistic Grin

KatieScarlett2833 · 17/02/2014 19:39

I never thought about putting them in the bath, genius!
I love a bath and can play with the bottles at the same time, like ducks Grin
(Am a big vaping SADDO)

Ledaire · 17/02/2014 19:43

I bathed them in the sink like newborns but Shock Shock Shock

I COULD VAPE IN THE BATH!

I still can't get used to taking it upstairs if need be.

And that post-coital cigarette could be introduced much earlier even during

Allergictoironing · 17/02/2014 19:44

Well with all the money you aren't spending on cigarettes Ledaire, you can justify trying to get the perfect flavour for you Grin.

I'm in a similar position to you - trying various different flavours but nothing quite matching one of the very first I tried (pineapple in my case) even though some are not too bad. I have a friend who's recently started vaping so I'll let her try all my rejects.

How's the throat feeling today?

In another 3 hours or so I'll have been a whole week smoke free - I think the Cadbury's Caramel in the larder is definitely in order as a reward!

KatieScarlett2833 · 17/02/2014 19:50

I am SO going to vape in the bath.
About 9pm, I've decided. With my duck substitutes.
not wondering at all where to put the vape stick during the sex
