Re: electronic cigarettes e cigs
I tried everything but just couldn't kick the habit ( this was 3 years ago ) then one day I read about ' Champix ' it's also got another name but is apparently the same product and is prescription only, hey presto I only needed one course of tablets but some people need longer my 25+ a day habit gone.aiden01 wrote:tell us all your secret how easy it is then some of us need that extra help.DB1100 wrote:Just give up ,it's not that hard I did and I don't want to be breathing that stuff in at work,it's bad enough listening to local radio,get outside with your electric gizmo's.
Ps... this is NOT a miracle cure and you must want to give up ( willpower needed )
GOOD LUCK

Re: electronic cigarettes e cigs
I thought about the lifestyle of the head of Players,and how my habit was allowing him to have thing's that I could never afford,he could have numerous holidays in beautiful places around the world whereas we couldn't,I imagined that he was laughing at me for smoking and giving him all these thing's,and if I could give up he would be out of work and struggling for money,try it mate,once I got this fixed in my mind I found it so easy.Just imagine everyday you don't smoke,he gets more and more desperate,it worked for me mate good luck.aiden01 wrote:tell us all your secret how easy it is then some of us need that extra help.DB1100 wrote:Just give up ,it's not that hard I did and I don't want to be breathing that stuff in at work,it's bad enough listening to local radio,get outside with your electric gizmo's.

Kirklees firefighters' warning after E-cig explodes on its charger in living room

While most of us know that cigarettes can cause fires, fire chiefs are now warning that the battery powered electronic versions have also caused blazes and claimed at least one life

E-cigarettes can pose a fire danger, firefighters have warned.
While most of us know that cigarettes can cause fires, fire chiefs are now warning that the battery powered electronic versions have also caused blazes and claimed at least one life.
Kirklees firefighters are some of the latest to have to deal with an incident after an e-cigarette exploded while it was being re-charged.
No one was injured but red hot flying fragments left scorch marks on walls, floors and a sofa.
An e-cigarette is a battery-powered device that converts liquid nicotine into a mist, or vapour, that the user inhales.
The two main types have either a replaceable cartridge or require refillable liquid. There are many different brands, all with their own specific charger.
Firefighters say the most common cause of fire appears to be either using incorrect chargers or over-tightening the screwed connection to the rechargeable battery resulting in mechanical damage.
This causes the battery cells to decompose, creating heat and possible failure.
A third danger is caused by “over charging” as unlike most mobile phones, many lithium-ion batteries within e-cigarettes do not have any protection to stop the coil overheating, which can lead to battery exploding.
Sean Fearon, fire investigation officer for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, said that the owner of the e-cigarette in the latest incident, in Batley, had in fact followed the instructions.

Mr Fearon said: “However, a lot of research is going on nationally into the potential problems surrounding e-cigarettes and the initial indications seem to point towards incorrect charging rather than faulty products.
“I imagine that some people may get e-cigarettes as Christmas gifts and I advise potential users to follow our safety tips.”
An investigation into the Batley explosion discovered the e-cigarette was about one week old and had been recharged twice using the wall socket charger.
On the third occasion it was being charged using the USB connection on a laptop.
After 15 minutes, a yellow flash and loud bang were seen and heard by the occupants.
The e-cigarette had exploded causing burning fragments to be fired across the living room, causing some burning to the carpet and scorch marks on the settee and opposite wall.
The most serious incident of note outside of the West Yorkshire area was in October , and resulted in a fatality in Derbyshire.
The fire was as a result of components from different e-cigarettes being used together along with an incorrectly rated charger.
Only use the charger supplied with your kit – there are many chargers on the market that will only work with one brand of batteries but can cause problems with other battery types.
Do not mix and match components from different e-cig manufacturers.
Never over tighten a battery on to the charger – plug the charger in first, then gently screw the battery in until the light on the charger flashes and then stop.
Never leave them unattended whilst on charge.
Clean the battery centre pin and charger contact at least once a week with tissue or alcohol wipes.
Remove battery from charger when fully charged.

Re: electronic cigarettes e cigs
I gave up even the e cigs a couple of months ago.
Was on low strength juice for a few months,got bored with it,tried no nicotine for a couple of weeks,threw all my bits away and have never looked back.
30 odd years of smoking stopped.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
