Keep at it guy,it is definitely better for your health.
I have been vaping for just over a year,down to the lowest strength Nicotine,in my chosen e juice.
I have no interest in Rhubarb and custard and all the other flavours,I just wanted something that tasted like the tobacco that I used to smoke.
I keep two packets of (untouched)Baccy at hand to tempt me,and hope to throw them and the e stick on the fire soon.
Try this site,
http://www.fasttech.com/category/3009/c ... e-liquid//
delivery to the UK does take around 3 weeks,but it is low cost and very reliable.
On the battery front,I tired of spending out on ecig specific batteries,which failed after a few weeks.
I cobbled together a "red-neck" version,using a battery carrier and a push to make switch from Maplin,and the tank connector twisted from the top of a defunct battery.
For irony I housed it in a cut down cigar box.
It runs on regular rechargeable NIMH batteries,and quality ones of those are available at a reasonable cost.
I use an Evod glass tank,and replacement atomisers,available from the above link,and the battery pack accepts Ego and 510 tanks,carts.
I'll post a stripped down pic.
It is amusing to watch peoples faces when I use it,most think I am using a Walkie Talkie!

depends on the laptop battery but most will have either 4 cells or 6 cells
of either 18350 or 18550 or 18650 types of batterys
which are the same type thats used in vamo battery mod or itaste vtr or cloupor mods
but i like to have a cloupor type,ideal size, variable type, (but thats my prefferance)

just googling about making a box mod and undecided which type im after lol

Been vapipng for about 18 months now. I'm not entirely sure that it is saving me much money over cigarettes, but it is certainly much more enjoyable.

I have a Hana Modz DNA30 clone which I love (tend to vape around 25 Watts).
I have various tanks, but my Kayfun Lite RTA is my favourite go-to.

Found that my favourite flavours are the Relentless range from P-Vapes, quite expensive, but so full of flavour and leave a lovely sweet taste on the tongue. Recently I did find some juice that matches the flavour and sweetness from Midland Vapes - the Nirvana range, and a bonus as slightly cheaper.

I have ventured into making my own juices, but was never too happy with the results. I am planning on trying again - just need to get some more PG (have plenty of VG from boots and enough nicotine to last a short while!)

I reckon that hand-rolling (100g),pipe tobacco was costing me £25 a week,,a year ago.
Shopping around for inexpensive vaping gear,I have spent £330 in the last twelve months,everything but my time included,and I have kit for at least another month,the hardware much longer.
It is certainly saving me money,even though I get through 30ml of juice in a week.
Of course,I'll save even more when I finally give up ecigs.
The start was New Year when I chose to quit vaping in other peoples homes and vehicles,even though no-one that I know that doesn't vape objects to it.

Interesting link,thanks.
I only checked out the Dekang e juice prices,as that is the brand I favour.That site didn't have my flavour.
100ml bottles from the link I posted are half the price.Shipped.Slowly.
And before the world and his wife climb on board with cheap Chinese rip-off stories,which country invented vaping?
Despite various European web sites claiming "Italian Flavourists",apart from DIY mixers,using some Chinese ingredients,e juice as far as I can tell,all comes from China.
As always,I am happy to be proved wrong.

Easydrinker, you'd be surprised at how much juice doesn't come from China.

Despite being invented there, as we all know, China are well known for their cheap products. My favourite juice tends to come from America.

A lot of the sites I use make their own juices rather than generic brands (ie dekang) using ingredients from the UK.

Whilst juice itself is not regulated, the stuff that goes into it is - you just can't get that kind of 'guarantee' from Chinese ingredients.

A quick update to this thread, and a possible warning, If you wish to pick a fight with me, now is not the time.
I have an evening/this evenings worth of E juice left.
Enough is enough, I'm kicking this crutch away.
For the next few days I expect to be as grumpy as the Grinch.
The problem my brain/mind has is informing the rest of the body that it is for long term good.
That that doesn't kill me makes me stronger..

Still using mine, approaching 2 years now, but I've reduced my nicotine content and use them less frequently.

I get all of my juices from this place, English juices all at £1 for 10ml bottles.
