Have been using an ecig for some days. Spent most of my life at 3 packs a day. the eliquid I have is the strongest: 24 per milliliter. No good at all. It’s the other alkaloids that do the trick. am currently soaking wintergreen dip in veg. glycerine and when more vg arrives will try the same with snuff. The cigarette (e) that tropical bob mentions in his #4 video is no longer available. So will soak snuff packs as per another youtube video

Also look into whole tobacco alkaloid e-liquids which have become very popular in the vaping community.
@Roderick that sounds interesting. Can you post a link or two for sites that stock or explain them?
+1 on the WTA ejuices. Check out http://www.aromaejuice.com
I had added some wintergreen “dip” to vegetable glycerine about 8 days ago. too lazy to filter but drew some off and added 50/50 to nicotine ejuice. It’s great. As good as a cigarette. Have some snuss packs soaking now and will try it with snuff soon the addition of tobacco made all the difference.
The cigo does look like a lot of hassle for seven puffs. As you say, early days but it also looks as though the atomiser charred i.e. burned the tobacco so essentially it’s a bad type of cigarette/cigar/pipe then? Definite ban or mega tax.
Anyone thinking of trying vaper then please come and join us on http://ukvapers.org/ What puts some people off is cheap e-cigs that don’t vaper well and have a short battery life but find the right equipment for you and the right e-liquid and its great. I use snuff all day long and when i am out but evenings in front of the TV i have 3 e-pipes my favorite is a handmade e-pipe converted Peterson Highlander and it is so so relaxing. It is no different to snuff in that you need to find what suits you i now order my snuff by the half pound but had to try many small tins to find my favorite. Same with vaper you need to find what your comfortable with with me it is an e-pipe and then the right e-liquid and there are lots about. For me snuff and vaper go hand in hand but thats me
thank you pr luk. just joined your forum and posted if anyone knows an ecig that will take a glycerine moistened snus pack
this is the only one I know off bit spendy thou the ploom itself looks nifty http://www.ploom.com/

Big Tobacco bets a packet on e-cigarettes By Shannon Bond in New York Electronic cigarette©Getty Big Tobacco in the US is raising its bet on the growth of electronic cigarettes to offset the decline of traditional smoking with Reynolds American, the maker of Camel and Pall Mall launching its first smokeless, battery-powered device. Reynolds, the second-biggest US tobacco company by market share, has hailed e-smoking as a “game-changer” for the industry, with chief executive Dan Delen on Thursday calling the launch a “fantastic business opportunity”. More On this story * Sales of e-cigarettes continue to soar * Big tobacco push for cigarette alternatives * Bloomberg takes aim at cigarette displays * Advert for e-cigarettes to be shown on TV On this topic * US investigates robotic surgical devices * US regulator approves first bionic eye * Lawmakers demand data on energy drinks * FDA examines pain pill formula regulation IN Tobacco * Japan adopts more cordial investor scene * Imperial profits fall as smokers cut back * BAT lifts prices to offset slowing sales * Smokers turning more to illicit tobacco Reynolds’ move comes as the industry steps up its investment in alternatives to traditional cigarettes. Marlboro-maker Altria, the biggest US manufacturer with about half of the US’s market share, plans to launch its own e-cigarette this year. Lorillard was the first big manufacturer to enter the US electronic market last year with the acquisition of Blu Ecigs for $135m. Goldman Sachs estimated that the electronic cigarette sector generated sales of about $300m in 2012 while analysts predict that revenues will reach $1bn in the next few years – a fraction of the $90bn US cigarette market but one of the few areas where sales are growing. Smoking rates in the US have been falling for years due to higher taxes, smoking bans in public places and health concerns. With traditional cigarette sales dropping an average 3 per cent a year, according to executives and analysts, the industry has come to view e-cigarettes as an opportunity to hold on to customers. E-cigarette users inhale a nicotine-laced vapour, replicating the experience of smoking without the smoke and carcinogens that are released through combustion. This means that they can be consumed indoors . Mr Delen said e-cigarettes were a category where Reynolds hoped “expanding growth [would] mitigate some of the volumetric decline” in traditional smoking. The US market is highly fragmented with about 300 companies selling Chinese-made e-cigarettes to American consumers, mainly over the internet, said Ray Story, chief executive of the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association, an industry group. He added that it was a simple process for the large manufacturers to enter the market, as “they have distribution points already set up”. Reynolds said that it would market its device, called Vuse, to existing smokers. Mr Delen said about 30 per cent of US smokers had tried e-cigarettes in the past six months, but few had made the permanent switch. Vuse will be sold in a similar way to razors and blades, with disposable cartridges that click on to a long, silver battery-powered unit. Mr Delen acknowledged that the electronic market faced an uncertain regulatory environment. The US Food and Drug Administration has said it plans to regulate e-cigarettes, but has yet to propose formal rules. “We look forward to interacting with the FDA as they begin to promulgate regulations,” Mr Delen said. “We as a company are in a great position relative to any regulation.”
Thanks.
No worries i never registered just stop the page loading before it loaded the deferrer script
The cigo won’t take off IMO. Too much hassle when you can vape e liquid a lot easier. It’s just like smoking without a lighter, but all that fuss and messing about for 7 puffs? Not worth it. Stefan

Sounds like you have tried poor quality e-cigs i have one that ok is as big as a cigar but will last all day in use i also have a pipe that will last all day with no problem. I use and love my snuff when i am out but evenings and relaxing in house i vape and love that too. That is why i joined the vaping forum to get to know what to buy without wasting my money and to know that i could if needed vape all day without changing the battery. Peter
@pr1uk on the contrary I do use e cigs regularly and own a couple of high end mods. I just think the product in the video above is a waste of time. Stefan

I heard something on the news this morning about ecigs being withdrawn from sale in the UK until they are “properly checked and accredited”. Do they also mean taxed?
