c/s Astronomer. I was gonna say the same (not as eloquently/informative :() but couldn't be bothered.

Astronomer 04-12-2014 06:14 PM

Yeah, exactly Mojo & CB. Though, if you wanna make some money I guess it's a very lucrative and unregulated business so get it on it now... ha.

FAO e-cig users, what are your favourite liquids/mixes?

I've been using an e-cig for two weeks now and haven't had a proper smoke, so I'm pretty happy about that. I've got a load of different liquids, mainly because I got a tobacco one with the e-cig, bought a tobacco one, a cherry and a cola in a 3 for £10 offer, and then hit the clearance section of eCig Wizards site and bought 8 bottles, all different. Some of them are rank, but considering they were all 60p-80p I haven't wasted any money - yet!

This is a legit setup guys.

Edit: Also notice the kick ass signed picture of Thierry Henry added to my regular (and very dark) background. My footy fan friends will appreciate it for sure.

Day 1 has started today. I don't expect much from from myself but I'm about to be a broke motherf*cker so maybe that will help.

^Good luck mate, I know how rough it can be.

I've been off smoking cigarettes for a little under a month save for the occasional one I've bummed off my friends while drinking. Glad I cut it, I can go for a run without hacking up a lung now.

Step 1 : Quit smoking.
Step 2 : Do this "go for a run" thing.

Check reviews they speak for themselves. I will keep recommending this until someone gets it. Recommended it to a mate & he has just passed 1 year smoke free now.

Surely someone else on here has read this?

curious to see what people make of this:

I'm sorry to always be such a bummer guys :(


I noticed however that my own vaporizing has some weird effects on me, that just feel unnatural and has made me pick up the pipe, albeit with a different substance.

news stories like these keep the montra "if its too good to be true it probably is" circling in my head

Scarlett O'Hara 07-30-2014 10:25 PM

I don't smoke anymore but I seriously want a e-cig.

Yeah, I read about that and feel so validated because I always felt like it wasn't so above board like people were making it out to be.

Goofle 07-31-2014 01:35 AM

Nothing this good was ever likely to be perfect. And I very much doubted it would have been 100% healthy, but it's definitely better than cigs and cheaper.

Maybe it's time to quit properly though.

Try that book m8. £7 or £4.50 on a Kindle.

Or Google it first. You know, see if anything, uh, comes up. Cough.

I have a copy of it but I havent read it yet. My e-cig has been doing a good job though and I'm feeling quite comfortable without cigarettes at the moment, so I may yet start it. I have it loaded on my phone so I that I can start to read it whenever.

Cuthbert 07-31-2014 02:45 AM

Cheers Mojo. I do nick things but not books, I just prefer reading a physical book to staring at a screen. It's the one thing I won't illegally download.

Allen Carr comes across as a smug twat in it though so be warned.

Mojo 08-02-2014 01:41 PM

I buy paper copies of books too and would sooner use a Kindle as a book end for real books than to read books on, but a self-help book on giving up smoking that I may or may not yet read ? I'll make an exception. :p:

RoxyRollah 08-04-2014 07:49 AM

so this not smoking is not going well at all... :(
and on a side note, if I hear a classmate say " people contaminate my air"
Im going to feed her my pack of cigarettes.
Go out the front door woman.Don't hang out in the smoking area.Jesus where the hell do you want ppl smoke? This isn't Korea, just cause you don't smoke does not mean others don't...:mad:

Another reason I don't want to quit. Who wants to become a douchey nonsmoker? Especially an ex-smoker. They're the worst. They're just smug, as if the fact that they successfully quit and you didn't somehow makes them better than you, and they always start any anti-smoking lecture with "You know I used to love the smell of cigarette smoke, but now I can't stand it." Well then **** off , Lung Boy.

St.Roostifer 08-04-2014 01:19 PM

Damn, bad time for me to chime in. I woke up this morning and decided to give quitting yet another try. I've had some messed up health issues the last 4 years and am pretty sure 25 years of smoking has been the biggest contributor. So far it hasn't been so bad, but I know it will become more difficult as my body loses the build up of nicotine.

RoxyRollah 08-04-2014 01:26 PM

^ best of luck....Im apparently to weak right now.

Are you ****ing kidding? Wafting their pretentious little hands under their noses, twisting their little faces at every available opportunity, always being on hand to give some really key, vital, good advice and generally just looking down their noses at smokers with some misplaced, pompous sense of superiority that is all centered around the one good, positive decision they have ever made in their life, to quit smoking, after decades of sucking down 40-a-day.

This is WHY I quit. I get to join the club now.

RoxyRollah 08-08-2014 12:26 AM

Dont you dare advise me...Know it all!

Old Tape Record 08-08-2014 03:38 AM

The first 2 weeks are pretty hard,especialy if your friends are smokers and their smoking infront of you while you are struggling not to.I am clean for 3 months after 10 years of smoking
