Quitting smoking is hard. One study estimates that daily smokers may try quitting an average of 30 times before they succeed. [1] But did you know that if you manage to stop smoking for 30 days then you're five times more likely to quit for good?
If you've tried to quit before, you'll know how hard it can be to resist the cravings and keep going. Many people try to quit 'cold turkey' but after the first few days it can be hard to keep the cravings at bay. In fact, only 3-5% of smokers who quit cold turkey are able to quit the habit long-term.[2]
Smokers who get the right support however, are three times as likely to quit successfully for good.[3] Here at Totally Wicked we have 14 years' experience in helping hundreds of thousands of smokers to transform their lives. That's why every October we set out to encourage even more people to take that first step on their journey to being smoke-free with the Totally Wicked 30-Day Challenge.

Ready to make the switch?
So, you’re ready to take the first steps to a smoke-free life. The first thing is to find the right vape kit for you. We recommend a first vape that’s simple to use and easy to maintain. Fiddling with settings or struggling to get to grips with a high-powered vape at is never the best start. However you may want to upgrade your vape at a later stage. We’ve selected a range of Starter Kits designed to make the transition from smoking to vaping as easy as possible. Examples include:
Skope Air
The Skope Air is a simple mouth-to-lung (MTL) device that is perfect for many new vapers. It’s draw activated, which means you can draw on it as you would a cigarette. The tank is easy to fill and the push-fit atomisers simply click in and out with no fuss. The battery should last most vapers a full day, but it will also charge quickly using the USB-C connector. Here’s what some of our customers have to say about the Skope Air:
“Been vaping with this product for 4 weeks now and not had 1 single cigarette. This is by far the best vape I’ve tried and successfully given up smoking after 20 years! Out of all the vapes I’ve tried this vape is the closest to smoking that I’ve found, very easy to use, battery is brilliant, so happy I found it”
“Having smoked every day for the past 10 years and at least 20 a day for 7 years I have found transitioning quite easy. Since starting to use this product I have not had a cigarette in over a week. Easy to set up and maintain, and the value for money when compared to what I was spending on cigarettes is amazing. Vaping like anything will not work for everyone but for me it has been a great decision and I would recommend anyone to give it a go.”
Tornado GTL
If you’re looking for a more classic pen-style design and more features, the Tornado GTL is a step-up from the Skope Air. A sleek MTL device, it features push fit coils, a durable plastic tank, sliding top fill and USB-C quick charge. It comes with a choice of 3 coils, so you can find the level of vape that suits you, The lower resistance the coil, the more vapour it will produce. The slightly bigger battery will also give you around 10-12 hours of vaping for the average user.
“I recently purchased this product as I was looking for an upgrade and I can say in my opinion, the Tornado GTL was right on the spot. I was looking for a pen-style device with more durability as the glass kept breaking on me and something reliable, with fast charging and great flavour. I'm very pleased to say Totally Wicked managed to meet all my criteria with this device and I could not be happier with it. I enjoy the plastic tank, as it does not break easily, the magnetic pod is very strong and sturdy so it never falls out and it is even draw activated so it feels very sophisticated. It is a top fill device which makes my life really easy and the push-fit coils allow me to have a great vapour experience no matter the place!”
