The shop has only been up and running a few weeks (had another one previously - long story/business partner/greedy/fallout) and not really rushed to get a website to be honest as the online market is flooded, so in a buck to current retail trends, focus more on local area sales - all over Facebook though.

Don't feel too comfortable talking shop on here, as it's though I'm touting for business. Will throw a few coppers the way of STW towers as a goodwill gesture anyhow

Anyway - will email you.

Oddly enough, in the last few weeks two shops have opened up near me in York when previously (for years) there was only a small concession in an old school tobacconist shop.

For a business that's pretty much been 100% online for the last six years (that I've known it) it's great to see it moving to proper shops.

I think I'd have to pay a fortune for Google Ad Words to even be noticed - and even then, doubt I'd be able to compete with the big players.

It makes a nice little business though, especially as a sideline - I don't expect to get rich from it, but do hope to expand at some point.

As an aside - anyone who needs a little business venture, I'd be more than willing to point them in the right direction - as long as they aren't on my doorstep 😉

Can you drop me an email too (gswood AT gmail DOT com) re the variable voltage 'twist'. I'll be looking to upgrade/add early next year as I've just bought another ego-t 1100 with a vivi nova as I've been really impressed by them both.

Cheers
Graeme

I'm working tonight on the motorways but will try and get back to you guys tomorrow.

Just for the record, I emailed Stw office earlier today and mentioned how this thread had developed and asked for details to make a donation.

Not sure how I should conduct any further replies, but for now I won't give any more details of what I sell in this thread.

Cheers

I'm coming towards the end of a bunch of Nova STV atomiser coils I was sent. Been thinking for quite a few months of trying out a bottom coil tank, if you can email me with a link to your website STR, that would be great.... hopwood[dot]mail[at]gmail[dot]com

Evening all. I thought I'd resurrect this thread to see how everyone's getting on? And obviously, with it being new year, if anyone else has binned the evil weed

After mouthing vague and unconvincing platitudes about doing so for ages, I dug the Tornado-T out, got some more liquid, and I've now not had a fag for 5 weeks. Yay for me! 🙂 More importantly, is that I find the thought of having an actual cig pretty disgusting. Even when I 'be had a beer.

How's everyone else getting on

Our Hangsen Golden Virginia is a popular choice fallsoffalot and the equipment is loads more reliable than a few years ago

Binners, I'm still off them 🙂 and I wouldn't return to them now, that would be a waste of the last 13 months!

Fallsoffalot most people find the basic ego type batteries to be robust, I recently tried a slightly newer version of an ego type Battery & it disintegrated after a couple of weeks.

STR,, have you given out the stw discount code yet? 😉

2unfit - no, as I don't have a website.

However, I'll do anyone who contacts me a decent deal.

I did contact STW towers regarding my involvement on this thread, but never heard anything back 😕

Found this thread Dec 2012, ordered some stuff and began vaping when it arrived 27/12/12. Not had a cig since, and that's after 37 years on 20-30 / pack of rolling baccy a day. VERY happy with it, all the things I like about cigs, nicotine, silly hand/mouth habit, but without the nastiness. Can really feel the difference when riding up hill. I'd started to seem susceptible to coughs and colds every 2-3 months and only had one minor cold since switching to vaping.

The first 3-4 months were a bit frustrating while working out which kit worked for me. Now using;
HS Delight standard strength liquid -tried a few flavours, but always quickly came back to this, which to me tastes the way a freshly opened pack of B&H smells.
Kanger T3 clearomisers, metal sleeved version as it's more robust. Easy to replace the spare heads cheaply when the resistance goes up.
Ego Vamo battery thingy, which allows me to change the voltage to get a consistent vape.
Efest 2000mah batteries, which last a reasonable amount of time.

It's worked out about half the price of smoking over the year, even including all the kit changes in the first few months.

I find this set up works well and reliably for me. A bit of a faff when traveling, though a lot less faff than looking for smoking opportunities all the time!

Really happy to be off the fags. This has been the best thread on here for me 😀

Amen to that brother!

I dumped the nasty smelly things and went on the e-cig again. Getting on for 7 weeks now.

Due to a shoulder injury, today was my first time back on the bike since I knocked the fags on the head. I can't believe how much easier I'm breathing on the climbs. So…. fat? Yes! Slow? Most definitely! But no longer wheezy. Result!!! 😀

And well done 2unfit2ride!!!

Another update on my progress! Well I still haven't managed to really quit the nicotine, but I have finally found an atty that allows me to enjoy a vape at slightly lower levels (from 18mg to 11mg), I am now enjoying a "Kayfun-Russian" type device with a microcoil & pure cotton wick, the results are amazing if you have the patience to try a few different builds, I bought a knock off from ebay & it works great!

I've had mixed success with recoiling my atomisers, about 50% work, altho I'm sure I'll get better at it and work out why some aren't working (I suspect I know). Most recent recoil was giving 1.5ohms and altho working well, it's going thru eliquid like I don't know what.

Good old STW. Want to get a kit for my Dad and this thread has been a great help.

Could do with some advice on e-liquids though. Just for a bit of history, smoking is the habit of a lifetime for my dad - started at 11, and is now 68. His lungs are shagged - emphysema, steroid inhalers, the works. He has periods of being off the cigarettes, but he relapses and will start again, not back to his 20 a day habit, but smoking none the less. If we are being entirely honest, he probably doesn't really want to quit, 'the damage has already been done', but my mum does say that she can notice the difference when he stops, the wheezing and coughing subsides.

Hence my wanting to get him a kit, with the hope that when he does feel the need to have a stealthy fag, he can get his nicotine without the smoke.

I appreciate that the e-cig flavours are a personal thing, but does anyone have any suggestions on what I can get him started with? I will be sending a kit back over with my Mum (they live in South Africa), and wouldn't mind sending a couple of samples over too. He is fairly old school, and smokes strong brands. My worry is that he gets the stuff that is usually included in a kit, thinks it is rubbish, and doesn't pick it up again.

vaping can feel a bit weak after proper smoke but I found the cigar flavours were strong enough not to tempt me back.
There is a site called liberty flights that has a liquid called Winston after Churchill that most of my smoking friends said was very close to a normal tobacco flavour but is still different. It would be a good idea to get him a selection of the stronger flavours then he might be intrigued enough to try different liquids instead of just going straight back to the fags. Good luck.
