Any Vapers?

Not open for further replies.
Just a little update from me. It's now been 4 days since I gave up real cigarettes. I have still not had a craving for one at all and am enjoying the vaping. I plan on buying a better kit at the end of the month with a couple of batteries.

Health wise I feel a lot better already, much more than I expected actually. I normally get tired around 2pm each day and could do with a lay down for an hour. The last 2 days I have not felt that tiredness at all.

So I am very happy so far. And after doing a few more calculations now I know the cost of everything and how much I will use, I have calculated a saving of around 1100GBP per year over what I was spending on tobacco.

Congrats!! Keep it up!

It is weird isnt it? How you start to feel better after a couple days.



I remember reading that by switching to vaping, one of the first changes you go through was clearing the body of Carbon Monoxide which takes 24-48hrs.

From 2-4 weeks you start getting a better sense of taste back.

Then breathing begins improving.

Over the course of the next year other health benefits and things such as cancer risk/heart attack risk dramatically decrease.

I wish I could find that article now because I can't remember all the exact details but it was interesting.

OK guys, all of you owe me money. Because of you, I took the plunge and will give the Inferno a shot. It is supposed to be delivered Tomorrow. Crap that stuff is expensive. I spent as much on the juices as the Inferno costs, and have no idea what they will taste like. Very unlike me.

I really hope it works well for you too Steve. I think it's great that you are prepared to try it after so many years of smoking. Good luck and keep us posted.

At this rate we will need John to open up a vaping sub forum lol.

Yes there is Menthol. It's just what juice you buy to go in it. I'm sure there is a better name for it. I just call it juice, kind of like I call BP forecourts gas pumps. :thumbsup:

I bought some menthol but don't like it. My favorite flavor liquid at the moment is watermelon and they sell loads of liquids at my local BP station funnily enough.

Ive never been a menthol fan myself.
But I like the cooling effect type menthols like a Koolada or vapor Ice. No real menthol flavor to it, just a cooling effect. Great as a mixer.


At any count, I've seen many experiement with Menthol as a mixer. Apple+ Menthol or Watermelon+Menthol Ive heard many say is really good. Never tried either myself, as Im not a fan.
But, Bannana + Menthol leads to an interesting mix. Probably wont try it again though LOL.


As with any flavor, some are great and some bad. And it varies from Vendor to vendor.
For example, in a Volcano ejuice you may try Something like Blueberry and its not so good (Just an example) Yet someone like Victory may have a Blueberry thats amazing.


Oh and one thing that may be useful , STEEPING !!!!

Basically if you get a juice thats a bit harsh or not really tasting like it should, you may need to steep it a while.
All this really means is let it sit in a cool dark place for a few days to a couple weeks. Sometimes the juice is so fresh it hasn't had time to properly set up.
It does help the flavors mature.

A good idea is let it sit 24 hrs. Then, shake well - take the cap off - let it sit another 12-24 hrs uncovered. Shake well and try again.
If you have to let it steep a wekk or so and its still bad, its just a bad juice. Nothing will really help it.
But, it most cases, this helps alot of them that are borderline in a couple days.
