I&#8217;ve been smoking Golden Virginia for a good number of years now. It was just the thing to do, all my teenage heroes smoked, I was really in to heavy metal (still am) so part of the &#8216;uniform&#8217; at the time was to have a fag on the go. Let&#8217;s face they looked cool, that and a bottle of Jack Daniels! I have tried giving up more times than I care to remember. Problem is I enjoy smoking (most of the time) &amp; NRT never seemed to cut it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I first came across ecigs about 4 years ago<\/strong> when some people at work were on about them and decided to try them. I wasn&#8217;t interested at the time. I did try a nicorette inhalator 10 years ago, but they were absolutely awful. Last year though, my local shop started selling <a href=\"http:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/e-lites-m12\">E-lites<\/a> so thought I would give them ago, initially they were good, for a week or 2, but it still wasn&#8217;t like smoking (not like a proper fag), not enough vapour to blow smoke rings etc. So I started smoking again. then went on to Whites ecigs and they were just the same as E-lites. It was after this I decided to try a Vivid refillable one, but still didn&#8217;t get on with it. No joy until I found my current brand.<\/p>\n<p>My chosen brand that I am very happy with is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/e-cigarette-starter-kits-c1\/e-liquid-starter-kits-c8\/intellicig-xl-pro-pack-p240\">Intellicig&#8217;s XL Pro Kit<\/a>. To me I find it fills all my needs. It has variable voltage, but even on the lowest setting it produces enough vapour to convince\/trick me in to thinking it is a real cigarette &#8211; smoke rings galore! Since I have been using this I have no cravings for cigarettes, unlike I did with my first attempts with ecigs. The only cigarettes I have had is when the battery ran out, which is usually about 8pm. The cigarettes I did have I did not like the taste of so the most important thing I have done is to buy an extra battery.<br \/>\n<strong>I think Intellicig is great<\/strong>, when I get a craving the first thing I think of is the ecig and NOT a cigarette.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Intellicig-XL-Pro-Ecig.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-152\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/image-factory\/89af539a65ee08362b69abff3eabd78b44084ca1~257x300@2x\/images\/products\/4zst6RXgAy7vGRshHFrS9o7zwUFNcH5vp2Ee3o3Q.jpg\" alt=\"Intellicig-XL-Pro-Ecig\" width=\"300\" height=\"257\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I came across The Electric Tobacconist as the Intellicig site did not have any XL Pros in stock. As this was the case I thought I better look to see if anyone else sold them and also if I could get accessories from elsewhere, as I don&#8217;t want to find an ecig I get on with only to find I can&#8217;t get hold of supplies.<\/p>\n<p>The Electric Tobacconist is a great site, they offer free postage, it&#8217;s easy to use and find what you want. Also at the time they weren&#8217;t selling the replacement dual coils so I sent off an email to The ET and now they stock them. Service or what?<\/p>\n<p><strong>After the initial outlay vaping is going to be a lot cheaper than smoking<\/strong>, my finger tips are no longer yellow, I don&#8217;t smell, well not of smoke at any rate. When I need my nicotine fix I don&#8217;t have to go outside in the rain to have a smoke. Mind you I always check with the owner of the establishment first as I believe there is a vaping etiquette to be observed as we don&#8217;t want this to get banned like smoking did (I live in Wales and they are already talking about it).<\/p>\n<p>I have tried other brands, but with the XL Pro I don&#8217;t have to keep buying clearomisers, I just have to replace the dual coil and this is as close to smoking that I have found without actually smoking.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you&#8217;d like to send in your &#8216;Vaping Journey&#8217; for the Electric Tobacconist blog, please email us first at help@electrictobacconist.co.uk and we&#8217;ll tell you how to send in your story.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every fortnight we run a &#8216;guest blog&#8217; feature about the &#8216;Vaping Journey&#8217; of one of our customers.
