Hey everybody, I'm looking for some information about smoking alternatives, particularly ones that are readily available and relatively cheap in the UK.
Some back story, Tater smokes...a lot. 2 packs a day of Lambert and Butler silver. He complains about the cost and has considered (and bought) just about everything he needs to roll his own. Rolling doesn't have all the chemicals, but there's no filter which means more tar. I'm much more concerned with the hazards to his health, but IF vaping is equal or less than the cost of his current habit, then maybe I could convince him to give that a try instead.
Problem is, there are tons of options out there and all the research I've done has landed me no closer to a decision about what vaporizer brand, model, or style to gift him with, except maybe a pen in black or chrome - something masculine and unassuming. Then again, since he does smoke often, perhaps a bigger tank would be better. This is made even tougher since it's probably a different market and brands in the UK. Seems from the website that Tesco carries 4 brands: Elites, Vapestick, 10 Motives, and Nicolites. I suppose one of those would be best as I know for sure he can get refills should he decide to make the switch.
Then add in products from the UK Ebay site...forget it!
Perhaps I should just buy him a cheap starter kit with a few different fluid choices and if he finds them acceptable he can upgrade himself to a different one that better meets his needs.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this?
