You, as a smoker, have choices, like choosing vaping or smoking, and...

1) Life or death;

2) Wealth or poverty.

OK, perhaps this is a bit strong. But is it? We all know that smoking kills. On the other hand I am aware of no deaths caused by vaping. We also know that smoking costs a bomb, and vaping does not. Vaping feels like smoking (better actually, with all the lovely flavours available) and you still get your nicotine, and you avoid carcinogens and second-hand smoke, and you save money.

Cogito ergo vapo....a real 'no-brainer'!

Which E-Cig? A Beginner's Guide..

This site is intended for smokers who want to switch to e-cigarettes. Most 'newbies' tend to start off with a small 'lookalike' cigarette, either a disposable, or an e-cig with a charging case, that allows you to charge your e-cigs 'on the go'. The portable charging case (or PCC) is needed becase the batteries on these e-cigs are small and need regular re-charging, but you will have chosen a smaller battery because that means a smaller e-cig, that looks more like a traditional 'analogue' cigarette.

A little later, you might prefer an e-cig with a larger battery. Because the batteries are more powerful, you do not need a charging case - the battery will keep you going for at least half a day, and some much longer.

Then, you may decide that your bigger battery would go better with a 'tank'. A tank is a small chamber that attaches to the top of your battery, into which you put e-liquid. Now, with a bigger battery and more nicotine, your vaping experience is more flexible. These cigarettes, though, look less and less like traditional cigarettes, as the batteries become more powerful and the tanks get bigger. In addition, the tanks do not vapourise the nicotine, and so you need an 'atomiser' between the battery and the tank which also adds to the overall size.

I recommend that all new vapers start with a small lookalike e-cig - either a disposable or a PCC-based kit - that way, you can try 'vaping' with only a small outlay.

In the beginning, many of the small e-cigarettes were not much good, and there are still some out there that taste bad or just do not last well. All of the products on this site have been reviewed by me and tried by me, and, indeed, continue to be used by me (as I still haven't decided which one I prefer!). But - they're all good - they give the satisfaction of traditional smoking, but, of course, no carcinogens, smell, tar or carbon monixide. And practically every vaping option (unless you live on disposables) is cheaper than smoking...
