Some nice indepth info, thanks folks. I've just looked at the selection available locally, the CE4 looks to be pretty good, but I'd like some opinions from people more experienced with vaping before I splash out £40 on something that might not be any good.


Get this stuff instead:

You get a higher capacity battery that allows you to change the voltage output. The EVOD is also better than a CE4 or clone by far.

The e-Go Spinner battery pack seems pretty spiffy, especially the 1300 mAh version (probably lasts more than 2 days if you're not vaping like mad from a full charge), the max voltage of 4.8 must give quite a kick, and you can turn it down if that's too much.
However, I personally still prefer the USB pass-through versions, so I can use'em while they charge too (I usually stick the one I use now in my computer's USB front panel once or twice a day to keep it topped up just in case).

For the clearomizer, I'd also get some of the 1.5 Ohm and 2.2 Ohm heads (the default 1.8 is nice too), just so you can combine different resistances with different voltages.

Probably best start with 1 spinner battery, 2 clearomizers, 4 extra spare heads, and at least 6 (preferably more) small (10 ml) bottles of liquid, each of a different flavour (would be best if you could try them first, and DON'T insist on just tobacco-alikes), and with different nicotine contents (don't go under 12 mg/ml, don't go over 36 mg/ml initially), from which AT LEAST one should be pure PG, one pure VG, and the rest whatever base (or mix of bases) you like.

Start with pure commercial liquids, but don't be afraid to experiment with home-made mixes - not just flavours, but also bases and concentrations.
You can make the mix right inside the clearomizer tank, pour a bit of each, then just close and shake well before use.
Oh, and you don't need to fill the tank. It works just fine even with it mostly empty.
Best start with at most a quarter tank, just in case you don't exactly like the liquid you started with.

Cheers for the advice, I'll bear it in mind when I purchase Big smile

Drip atomizers are awesome for sampling existing liquids (since you only drip a couple of drops of liquid on it before vaping, and most of it goes poof, plus they're easy to clean) and generally have a nicer feel for the vapour...
...but they are (IMO) a complete pain for long-term frequent usage, which more than decompensates for the other advantages.

I would buy only one of those for myself at most, and use it very infrequently.
They would however be very nice to have (free of charge, or for a nominal session fee) in a customer sampling area (where a lot of liquids would be available for testing) - and I've seen a few shops around here doing just that. Of course, you also get your own disposable mouthpiece cover to go along with it.

OK..so far it is working amazingly well.
36 hours after last "regular" cigarette. Normally, I should be a raving lunatic by now and a danger to myself and society. But I ain't even mad.
It's the first time that nicotine replacement is actually working for me- nicotine patches and chewing gums did nothing .

edit: this is what I use.. I just went with the cheapest model available.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

I went with the EVOD, money is a bit tight so stuck with the 650ma batteries and 1 tobacalike, 1 fruity flavour e-liquid.

Day 6, I haven't murdered anybody which is good. This needed a bump because it's so damn helpful.

Glad to hear it ;)
In a few weeks, you're going to start really disliking regular cigarette smoke smell :)

Glad it's working out for you. You should definitely consider getting the Spinner at some point, variable voltage is a whole other world. After some time, you'll actually be able to taste food and smell things. Also, don't limit yourself to any specific range of juice: there are a lot of people out there mixing up some delicious stuff that you'll never get tired of.

Oh, and don't chase the nicotine rush with these things. It isn't there and there are cases of people trying to chase it and getting sick as a result.

Stopping? Heck no.

I've stopped for 5 years once, a year as well and a couple months.
I was fine cold turkeying myself erry time, but I just really enjoy my smokes.

I don't really have a choice, it's quit smoking or the SO imposes lackonookie on me, evil wench Straight

Plus points, I'm starting to regain my senses of smell and taste, I no longer smell like an ashtray and I'm not so much of a social leper anymore.
