Awesome, it takes a while to find your feet with e-cigs and get a routine going, but after 2 weeks or so you'll be settled in. And then you can start lusting after shiny new stuff you don't need!

This is so true. Just ordered my self an aga-t2+ from could9vaping. I already have a VH Genesis (DID clone) which works great but I keep cracking the poly tanks and while the metal tank works fine I like to see the juice. The aga-t2+ comes with a Pyrex tank and is only just over £20.

I'm really getting into mesh wicks. Everything I used to use seems pretty weak flavour wise now. It is a lot of hassle but when you get it to work the coil lasts ages and is so good.

I'm temped to try the new Kanger T3 Been hearing real good things about them. I like to have a pre-made about for the times 'everything is wrong'. I like boge cartos but they are far to small for me to use. These are big enough and could be a good backup.

Devrij did you get your Vamo yet? I'm still not 100% sure if it is the next mod for me. Wondering if to save up a little more and get something really nice. Then I think, well why? It is just a metal tube with a button and a chip in it why spend more? My V1 Lavatube is really on its last legs misfires all the time now and the end caps pop off.
 
I started vaping all those years ago when it 1st hit the scene. Kept me off the fags for over a year and then fell back to the ciggies.

Just started vaping again, 3 weeks off the ciggies and been smoking my Screwdriver Mod and homemade USB computer passthrough mod.

Just ordered over £200 of kit from TW with 10 bottles of Juice and the new Odyesse mod.

Hopefully will keep me off the 35+ ciggies a day and easily recoup the cost in 1.5 months

I did, and I really like it. I had an issue at the start where it would misfire 50% of the time, but then I switched to wattage mode and it works perfectly (even when I switch back to voltage mode) so it seems to have been a firmware glitch. Feels excellent in build quality compared to my old LT. I put some panasonic batteries in which has really helped. My only issue is that the battery spring gets quite warm (lots of people have swapped it out for a low resistance hot-spring), but it's an easy fix if you can be bothered.

I can see myself using this indefinitely though :)

Welcome back mate, there's lots of cool stuff out there now :) Let us know how you get on with the juice you picked up, I'm always after reviews on good liquids.

I still think my LT was a great buy. I've had lots of use from it and it has taken a load of abuse. Been dropped from my desk loads of times (mostly by the cat) and dropped on paving Ibiza. The later versions all had a lot of problems from what I've read so they are going to have trouble selling the new one at such a high price when lots of lower end mods are about now.

I'd heard about the spring issue but a lot of vendors are sending out the replacement one with new orders (and some retrospectively) The V2 is the same expect the spring is changed.

Seems everyone has good things to say about it. Going to order one.
 
I need some new juice suggestions....

The two favourites I've bought in decent sized bottles are Watermelon and Strawberry both from TECC. Ive bought a pack of 5ml sample bottles from VapeEscape and quite frankly they were rancid, all had the same horrible background taste, Ive just got some more from the same company but this time from the Griswalds Gourmet range, and and this is also horrendous, all have a similar taste to Lockets, but sweeter and more sickly, even the fruit and menthol/mint flavours.

Im quite happy with menthol and fruit flavoured suggestions and perhaps something a little stranger, what do you reckon?

By the way, if anyone wants any of the crap I mentioned above you are welcome to it, if any madman is interested I'll give more details of the flavours I have, which doesn't really matter cos they all taste the same, BAD.

Cheers.
 
I use mainly 2 eliquids from house of liquid, the Cigarillos and puros, never get tired of those 2 even a year on.
As an alternative, I like Vermillion river, the KY4, Maplewood, and applewood, all really nice.
And boba's bounty when you can get a hold of it, is really great too.

But then, Eliquid taste is very subjective, I found when i first started, that the quest for a good juice to my personal tastes took me a good few months to find. It does get easier once you find a few you like.
 
The FDA in the States have started their attack on e-cigs again. This is probably one of the most depressing quotes I've ever read....

"We are concerned about the potential for addiction and abuse of these products. We don't want the public to perceive them as a safer alternative to cigarettes."

-- Rita Chapelle, FDA spokeswoman.

We don't want the public to perceive them as safer? Even though they undoubtedly are? I mean seriously? So they're fine with the likes of Nicorette selling their ineffective nicotine products as safe alternatives though eh?

Also what does she mean about people "abusing" e-cigs, does she mean some people might stick them up their bum?

I dunno why they don't just come out and say "The tobacco and pharmaceutical industry employ a lot of people and generate a lot of cash and we don't want to endanger that", at least I'd respect her for being truthful.

I'm more worried about the EU. If we let the Tobacco Products Directive go through and the UK implement it as stands, juice will be limited to 4mg/ml.

http://www.clivebates.com/?p=739 Gives a good overview.
 
Im starting to branch out in terms of the gear im using, only a couple of month ago i bought a Vamo, and a genesis from vapourhut, shortly after that i bought the Aga-T+ and an IBTanked pyrex tank for it (still using it) and Tomorrow my Poldiac mechanical mod comes, £153 on some steel :( shineyitis has bitten me hard...oh and im getting an AC9 Genesis soon aswell from the states.

I'll be happy to take 'em! Hell, my all-day vape at the moment is Griswald's Arctic Pipe. Love that stuff.

Give totally wicked's gold standard stuff a try. As much as Im not a fan of the company, I've been very impressed with that particular range. A friend gave me a go on his Melon flavour which was really nice, and I regularly vape the blueberry concentrate which tastes like pie filling

As for all the legislation, it just seems crazy to me. "what if vaping becomes the new smoking? People will get addicted and continue to use it!" Duh, but isn't that better than them continuing to smoke? It bloody IS a safer alternative! Tools.
 
Got my Aga. It is vaping like a champ and is much better built than my VH Genesis. I like the o-ring cap instead of screw because you can make sure the air hole matches the wick. It is heavy been steel and pyrex but feels solid. Vaping some raspberry juice in it and it is really clean. Using the thinner wire that came with it is working well, I normally use thicker stuff.
 
Am I the only one you makes my own juice? Screw paying £12 for a bottle of 30ml pre-made stuff when I can make the same thing for a couple of quid. It's only three ingredients and it also means I can make it stronger or weaker as I see fit.
 
My Odyesse and liquid is at home waiting for me to unpack on Friday :)

Just got email from some jobs worth pointing out that company E-Cig policy is to treat them as normal cigs.

No point fighting it, contractor and no rights and the company is a very large global, so no chance. Just keep it descreet :)
