Will sign when I get to an actual computer, as will DP, my vaping Uncle who convinced me to try and my Gran who can now sleep easy at night that I am not going to end up with lung cancer before I hit 25 (I was a very heavy smoker at times and have smoked since I was very young, this is not unlikely).

Vaping mango today but the nicotine is too strong, need to go on the hunt for low/free nicotine.

Have you got a vaping shop near you, Shro - they willusually let you try a few flavours out.

We have a bricks and mortar one (whatever that means) a few miles away and I have about 10 near my work but most of them are crap but one is holding a bottle of pineapple for me tomorrow. I'm really busy today so can't get to the good one, I will go to the one I bought my main vape stick from.

Do you have any idea what's going on with our back up? It tastes like it's burning, we only bought it yesterday. It's a mini ce4.

So pleased to hear that!

Thanks Plenty. Benign nodule. Discharged and he said, "all I would tell you to do was stop smoking cigarettes and you have already done that"

Thanks to these threads Flowers

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 06/03/2014 10:38

How is your throat now?

magimedi · 06/03/2014 10:43

Ledare That is great news!

What are you going to do to celebrate?

OP posts:
Ledare · 06/03/2014 10:45

Still hoarse, clearing throat a lot, but that's because the tissues are regenerating and I'm not drying it out smoking.

Ledare · 06/03/2014 10:46

magimedi, treat myself to new kit, of course Grin

magimedi · 06/03/2014 11:04

How did I guess??

Congrats! Ledare! Flowers

Great news Ledare! Very relieved - probably not as relieved as you though GrinThanks

I ordered some liquid from Dark Star, as linked to here. It came quickly, was well packaged. They included a freebie of a lime flavour, and a card with a discount code. Their liquids have a 'bottled on' date and they advise that you steep it for a week before using. One bottle, blackberry - not to be mixed up with blackcurrant - had been steeping for a bit longer than that when it arrived. The other 3 had only been mixed a couple of days before. So I've tasted the blackberry but not the others. It is blackberry taste, as you get in flavoured products, nice enough; a bit weak which may be because most fruit flavours seem to be a bit weak. However, I'm letting it steep for another week to see if that helps.

I have ordered dh and dbro to sign the efvi petition. Neither of them are agitators so arms have been twisted. They both vape, and the legislation will affect them negatively. Sometimes they are just difficult

Well done to all you vapers; keep on vaping! Sadly I'm too far from the meet-up, but I'll vape something special while thinking of you!

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 06/03/2014 12:26

Where is the meet up? Finding it hard to get through this whole thread!

Jux · 06/03/2014 12:34

I'm not sure it's a real meet-up, Schro. Just vaguely mentioned between a couple of people upthread.

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 06/03/2014 12:38

Dammit, I was hoping for a MN vaping party! Well I am in Glasgow if anyone near there decides on one :o

Dwerf · 06/03/2014 13:24

If a battery blinks like it is empty when used, but the charger light glows green as if it was fully charged when Itry to charge it, does this mean the battery is fucked?

QueenStromba · 06/03/2014 14:42

More likely the charger than the battery. I bought a load of the blister packs and found that most of the chargers conked out pretty quickly.

magimedi · 06/03/2014 14:52

MEETUP

Allergic said she's possibly make a trip down to my neck of the woods (Eastbourne, East Sussex) & Plenty & Katie were also up for it. It's all very vague at the moment but if it goes ahead I'll post it so everyone sees it.

It will be a vaping of vipers Grin

Battery can blink if you puff too much - after about 8 seconds of use it will stop & blink.

Ahh okay!

Have bought nicotine free...

rosiesarered · 06/03/2014 16:12

Hi all hoping you can help me. want to get an e cig but don't know where to start really, i want a proper vape rather than a fag look a like but all the jargon is making my head spin, need to get my hands on one to start understanding it better.
Can anyone link me to a complete starter kit with all the bits i will need to start vaping but that i can add to if i need to??

QueenStromba · 06/03/2014 16:13

What sort of budget do you have rosies?

rosiesarered · 06/03/2014 16:17

Will 50 be enough to get something decent? would rather pay more initially if it means spending less in the long run

QueenStromba · 06/03/2014 16:22

If you want to skip straight to something really good then I highly recommend an itaste MVP2 - that's a really good price for them.

Ledare · 06/03/2014 16:23

Can someone please help with this question?

I haven't a clue, wasn't allowed nicotine replacement in my day.
