It included the charge, re-fill bottle and two liquids I think.

He paid £45 all in with a couple of extra bottles. (local shop on Hayling Island)

This either seems very expensive or it was a deluxe version!

Any ideas or preferences on a particular brand? Don't want to buy on eGay.

I'd rather buy from a reputable company and pay a little bit more.
Home Bargains sell ego kits for £7.99 ,,

but unless your buying the original joytech ego kit your buying fake ego's ,,,the fakes are very good though so id just get one of those if i were you,,,

and if you dont mind waiting a couple of weeks, china is were there all made anyways so you could cut out the middle man ,,

Yeah, not keen on buying fakes.
It's bad enough that have next to no regulation.

For starters I'd recommend the evod or Mini Protank 2 kits. New coils are cheap, widely available and very easy to rebuild if you want them even cheaper. http://myepack.co.uk/ are very good, reliable and quick to deliver.

I've been vaping for over a year now but I do find myself constantly puffing on it. Anyone else found that they are pretty unreliable,I must have gone through 5 batteries and 8 tanks. I've just got the new kangertech aero tank mini and it seems to be very good,a lot of the cheap ones only last a few weeks. The amount of flavours is amazing.

Got myself a jenson s900 with blueberry/mint flavour. Although I didn't realise when I bought it, the liquid is 24mg! Will get a lower flavour soon, but impressed so far.

I've been slowing switching to 'vaping' over the last coupling of months. I have gone from 4-6 roll ups throughout the day down to 1 or 2.

Now I am on day 3 with zero tobacco and can honestly say that I actually prefer e-cigs.
Can use them anywhere, no smell, more money in my pocket and I don't snore as much, which, doesn't bother me but for my mrs, it is like a new beginning.

Time will tell whether I have just replaced one habit with another, but hey, it's a step in the right direction.

Eight months without a cigarette now, vaping played a major part in my giving up.

Well done chaps. I'm still vaping, probably always will and can live with that... get it.

Using a Kanger EMOW now, the new heads last a long time and give good flavour and vapor, highly recommended. Have an Vision Spinner 2 and my MVP2 battery, both excellent.

I swing between premium juice sourced from http://www.cloudhousevapor.com/ and http://www.onepoundeliquid.com which is very cheap and pretty good.

Jesus all this vaping malarky is confusing to say the least, i had no idea it existed, i thought there were just e-cigs that look like regular cigs out there. Anyway as a smoker myself i fancy giving this a try, is it really worth getting one of these Kanger kits, atomiser, battery, coils, tanks wtf is all this stuff? So the liquid has the flavour/nicotine content, how long does a tank full last? How long do the coils last? I assume the coils produce the vapor? What does a higher voltage do i've seen on some of them, increase the draw "resistance"?

I started vaping a couple of years back but gave up after a couple of months and starting back on the cigs again, then earlier this year I suffered a major stroke and was advised to think about giving up, as I was in hospital bed bound for a while I couldn't smoke anyway, but was desperate for a cig, anyway came out of hospital and was determined to give up so starting vaping again, and have been ever since, don't get me wrong it does still require a huge amount of will power but it really does help. Just please if you're thinking of giving it a go get a decent kit, as the cheap ones are really crap. Mine cost £75, I can turn the strength up and down, battery lasts a good couple of days and my atomiser is made out of strengthened glass so it doesn't break if I drop it.

This is a good kit, I'm using the same right now, although I bought the components separately. http://www.ukecigstore.com/kanger-em...combo-kit.html

I also have this battery as it lasts two days http://www.ukecigstore.com/itaste-mv...ion-2-kit.html

The liquid contains nicotine is different strengths, start at 18/24 then you can take it down if you like, I usually have 12 or 10mg. The tank will depend on how often you use it, but I fill up a couple of times a day, no problem carrying a bottle around and it should last a good while, depends on the size.

Atomizers need changing every week, sometimes more, sometimes less. You an rebuild them yourself, I did it for a while and gave up on it as they're so cheap.

Higher voltage will give a warmer vape, more vapour, you can get really technical but start low and work your way up. Variable wattage does the same but adjusts to the resistance of the coil you use.

The kit I linked above has variable air flow so you can change the 'draw' I like mine quite airy nowadays, its just nice to be able to choose.

When you first get it, use it a lot, I remember having some cravings but nothing like not smoking.

I'm quite likely going to get one of these batteries as the reviews are good http://www.cloud9vaping.co.uk/epages.../ELEAF-ISTICK-

Good deal on the EMOW kit http://www.cloud9vaping.co.uk/epages.../KN-EMOW-MEGA-

I use the Innoken iTaste VV v3.0 with the kanger megatank. Very good bit of kit.

I haven't smoked since April and although I was only a social smoker, I really did enjoy a tab with a pint.

A decent e-cig kit (as opposed to those cigarette lookalikes from the garage) totally kills the urge and you don't stink of smoke and feel like crap in the morning.

Don't knock the cheap ego vaporizers. Yes, they may not be as good at the £75 jobies mentioned earlier but at £8, it doesn't matter if you break it. I find them good enough for me.

It's an older battery, you can order the components of the kit I linked separately - same page, pictures on the right hand side - not all colours were available earlier but they do have one to match your lipstick.

We have been "Vaping" for 15 weeks now. Seems a lot longer to be honest. We're currently using the Kanger EVOD's which seem ok and are quite cheap.

We were using the Hangsen liquid but then found this guy

Well worth a try

Search YouTube there are tons of good tutorials for rebuilding.

You'll need
Kanthal resistance wire
A jewellers screwdriver or drill bit
Tweezers
A gas torch style or lighter
Organic cotton
A magnifying glass
A bit of practice

I've built old style Kanger heads, and have a good stock of parts for desperate times.

The updated heads I'm using now are dual coil and a lot more difficult to build. I doubt I'll bother.

Yea agree, the dual coil heads can be made to last a bit longer just with some cleaning in water, when they get bunged up, from what i've read.

Vaping is brilliant.Stopped for 6 months which was amazing.Need to find another supplier though.

Really is the best thing to help smokers.Non smokers dont even comment!

Got my Kanger mega kit today, fantastic, getting a better hit and flavour than on the **** Bought a few liquids, british tobacco, prime and some butterscotch, all 18mg. The brit tobacco is a bit harsh using my preferred voltage of 4.3v. Is it ok to mix a little bit of the liquids, or best just to wash out the tank before refreshing? And how low can you let the liquid go in the tank, until the flavour goes completely? I used a whole tank of liquid in a day, is that normal?
