TI AM a newbie… I’ve been reading through this Forum for days and have only scratched the surface of what is available here. Your information is massive, (and kinda scattered all over the boards), so it’s unfair to imply that a newbie is too lazy to figure out where to start in the world of vaping. Yes, we want guidance because, of course, we’re newbies… We just want to know what works for all of you, and why you prefer certain models over others. We hope that through your experience, we will find the one that will work for our needs at the time. Most smokers - turned – vapors (especially the girly girls), have a an idea of what we want to start with. Some newbies have no idea where to begin. This is why some of us will ask and re-ask the dreaded “what kind do you recommend”? It’s because we don’t have the first clue about the various choices out there, and we’re feeling pretty secure that some of you have those answers……

Be kind to the newbies… If you notice someone is recommending a model that may not fit the questions being asked, simply add your own two cents in. Most newbies are hoping to receive several opinions to choose, and from those of you who actually have the experience to share.

I think it’s great that you seasoned vapors are willing to help those of us just coming aboard. It is gives us the courage to take these steps in hopes that one day, we will be tobacco cigarettes free. You’re encouragement on this board is worth far more that you realize… (even when you debate over issues). It’s gives us something to think about…

A few months ago I was introduced to e-cigs through a friend who quit smoking analogs after trying the electronic version. (it’s the same time I was diagnosed with COPD – ugh, very early stages of the disease). I’ve smoked more than 30 years (2 pks a day). I purchased an njoy at a local gas station. It’s was a bit strong, but I was impressed with how much the experience resembled actual smoking (a cigarette). It didn’t hold my attention for very long because it ran out of smoke/vapor too quickly and the cartridge refills seemed a bit costly. (it also tasted a little bit like licking an ashtray) NOT that I’ve ever licked one… LOL

A couple weeks ago I purchased a better quality e-cig in the mall (beneficialcigs.com). This one has flavored disposable cartridges. I’ve since learned (through this board) how to refill the cartridges with my own creations. This has been kinda cool… only nicotine free so far. I’ll add that later if I need to…

Back to the reason I began writing this post… I’m researching my next e-cig purchase. There’s a lot out there to pick from, and it gets confusing for someone who doesn’t have the experience you guys have. I’m a girly girl… nothing bulky for me. I want a sleek feminine look that puts out a powerful vapor and hit.

Any suggestions? (
:blush:)

I purchased EM RiVa eGo 1100 mAh starter kits and additional batteries in each color available. I have since graduated from cartomizers to clearomizers. I'll never go back to carts... What works for me is the Kanger T3S eGo Bottom Coil Clearomizer and I ordered Kanger T3S eGo replacement heads (1.8 ohm). These clearomizers fit my riva batteries 510... I'm good to go folks!
