e-Cigarettes - Recommendations?
Discussion
I've tried them, a few different brands, and to be honest they are overpriced considering the quality. Iirc they're all made in China and are pretty crap - even though they look pretty - and you'll just get addicted to the nicotine (and look like a knob) anyway.
Why don't you stop kidding yourself and just give up properly?
Try Alan Carr's quit smoking book and take a look at the Quit Smoking thread on the Health forum.
(if you quit you can shag for hours.
fact.)
Eta. I quit 27th December after reading that book.
I can't shag for hours though.

I thought he was funny! The thing is, you need to be able to suck on it like you would a normal cigarette, and this you can. I was initially after a Green Smoke one after I'd read they were the best, but after seeing his review of the Green Smoke then the Tornado, my mind was made up! (not you Derek, I'm sure you quite nice. If a bit dangerous!)
Take a look at www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk. I'm using a Titan 510, but the Tornado is also worth a look. I haven't worked out how much these things cost to run, but it's pennies.

Not quite true. The Screwdriver is made in the UK. These seem to get good revues and cheap too:

Not quite true. The Screwdriver is made in the UK. If they are made in the UK they'd be triple the price.

I couldn't see anywhere on that site where it said "made in the UK" just "dispatched from the UK" which means they are imported.

These are GENUINE SD kits featuring the original and still made in the UK MKI ScrewDriver.
Loads of people are having success with the e-ciggies here. So much so a few mates outaide of work asked me to get the details for them. This is what I sent them...
"This is the details of the electonic cigarette stuff that everyone is raving about here that I mentioned to you and promised to send on. I know Steve is a hardened smoker but Dave (a guy here) beats him hands down and if he (and about 30 other people at work) can try it I'm sure Steve and could. It really is having great results
There are 2 brands:
1) http://www.electroniccigaretteinfo.co.uk/
With this one if you go down this route, you should go for the £39.99 kit on the right hand side of the page. It contains the £20 starter kit (which is th left hand option) but the batteries in the starter kit only last 4 hours so if you were at the pits or something for a weekend then it would run out. The guys here speak from experience and they all end up with the £40, so save yourself the time and extra £20 in the beginning.
This one comes with pre-filled cartirdges that need to be bought and then they walk around with essentially a plastic cigarette packet in their pocket - very similar to normal smoking habits except the electronic fag is black. They therefore need to buy cartirdges every now and again but that is a 2 minute order process online.
2) http://www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk/products/s...
This is a simlar product the otehr half of the guys are using - it looks more like a cigarette in the hand and uses bottles of liquid to load the electronic cigarette with nicotine solution.
If you go to this page - choose the "Super" option. That's what everyone raves about.
So the choice is - do you want a black ciggie with no fuss about "loading" it as you just screw on a new top then option 1 OR do you want a more familiar looking cigarette but a bit of faff about once a day as you load the "filter" with liquid which equates to about 20 fags then option 2"
Hope this helps

Heck. I might even give them another bash.
