B.A.Nana - you can buy any old crap indeed, but we don't buy that!
I agree, legislation will kick in at some point - 3 options as far as I see - ban, tax and/or regulate. We will see - no point worrying about it yet and deal with it when it happens.
e-lites are crap, so that's a non-story - as indeed you intimate.
It's going off big time at the moment - one popping up on every street corner, but we are the first in our immediate area, so hopefully have the market for now. I have a main business, so this is a sideline - hopefully it will lead to bigger things, but nothing lost in the meantime. 2nd shop opening soon hopefully!
surely as people give up smoking (are these not just an aid to that end?) your market will decline, not expand? Or are you just trying to make money by replacing one addiction with another?
Maybe it will decline, but at the moment the market for the product we are selling is growing. I'm not replacing one addiction with another. People are addicted to nicotine. I'm not changing that, just providing a different way of delivering it - and arguably a much safer way. I've been using one for 7 weeks now and my lungs feel a lot cleaner and my fitness has improved no end.
Good for u chap, keep it up
But I know loads of others who have quit/are quitting, and they're all using some form of the above.
They have not quit they have simply changed the way they get their fix from nicotine
and arguably a much safer way
Would be interested to see research on how good this is for you I assume you have some [ i can hear you googling from here]
No actual research on this is there
Are those chemical liquid in the e-fag safe?
Liquid made in China?

Sorry, should have said "the;ve quit smoking cigarettes" which is the important thing, cos its them that ****s your lungs.
Glad to hear the shop's going well.
It's not the nicotine that's the issue though, it's the effects of absorption of PG and VG.
There was some concerns that water molecules could form within the lungs whilst vaping IIRC.
My wife uses them at the minute. I stopped 4 years ago & have stayed stopped.
I too was concerned about where the "vape juice" came from therefore bought pharmaceutical grade base ingredients and done my homework. It now costs between £0.10p - £0.16p a day to "vape" and the dosage can be altered to suit. The grand master plan is to drop a milligram a week over 24 weeks then quit. Probably.
Thanks for the mostly positives 😀

Considering you are inhaling vaporised vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol - both found in foodstuffs (we only supply the VG), flavourings and nicotine I'd think it a safe bet that it's not quite as harmful as tar, salt peter, arsenic, formaldehyde etc etc. Wouldnt you? I'm guessing until I provide you with extensive medical proof that you'll carry on the same stance though!
Stu does raise one concern we are aware of though
I think you'll find that PG is in many medicines as well
I think the general consensus about the water molecules is that its no biggie.
I'll try to find the info for you. It was quite interesting.
Oh, and good luck by the way. I wish you every success !
It is indeed stu, including asthma inhalers I've read somewhere

I gave up smoking around 22 years ago and have never wanted to go back. Interestingly a few weeks ago my daughter visited and she had an e-cig with her. For some unknown reason I asked to try it. 😳
My thoughts were that, yes, it's another addiction for those trying to quit but also ex-smokers could be tempted back. For example, the typical habits of smokers are lighting up after dinner/when socialising, if one has any smoking friends left etc etc. The act of choosing what flavour,knowing that it's safer etc., could perhaps entice ex-smokers.
S'OK though, I've no intention of going back. 🙂
Edit: Of course good luck Artist!
