Question for the noobs

[Kent C]

Thanks to optsmk for asking the question. At first, I agreed with Deschain, thinking most do get back to us but then seeing the responses afterwards is pleasing to know. So new members and lurkers speak up. This type of feedback is encouraging Even if you just post once! And thanks to the other responders!

I know from some surveys that the ratio of lurkers vs. actual posters can be quite large according to the subject matter and I'd encourage anyone lurking to join up and at least say 'Hi - I read the forum and decided upon x' etc.

I am sorry to say that I too was a lurker. But after 3 days of internet research (i.e. mostly here), I ordered an M402 black matte starter kit from Absolutelyecigs.com. And because of all this research, I ordered juices, extra cartridges, a syringe, & tweezers from several U.S. sites. I am particularly in awe of Shawn at LitecigsUSA.com. And soon he will be carrying M401/M402 manual batteries.

I haven't received my kit yet, but I will reply as soon as I have tried vaping for the first time.

I cannot thank all the members on here for all the great advice, tips & tricks, etc...

Thank You All!!!

I lurked and lurned here- the next day I bought a 306, this week I am getting a 901. Vaping covers 2 major addictions for me: nicotine & gadgets, and is a metric crap ton cheaper than analogs and laptops. Its been nigh about 2 weeks and I like it very, very much!

I purchased a Red Dragon before finding this forum and had a problem after about a week or so (Red Dragon instructed me they had just updated batts and chargers. I could return mine for the updated model). After reading some previous posts, asking a few questions, and utilizing the Q&A section here I bought a KR808D1 and love it. I have had it for 16 days and have attempted to smoke 1 cigarette. After 2 or 3 drags I put it out. I have no desire to smoke. Can't see myself ever going back. I would like to find a stainless steel batt with blue led for mine if anyone knows where to get one. I can't find them.

I have been trying to quit smoking for over a year now. Nothing was working,
I saw one of those Smoking Everywhere kiosks at the mall was intrigued, but being the skeptical person I am I went online to do some research and found this site.

I spent hours on this site reading and decided to take the plunge and ordered myself a 510 starter kit. The day it came my husband and I both tried it and were very excited. It was different but we both thought that this might actually work.

It's been about two weeks now and I am amazed at how much I have cut down. I went from a pack/pack and a half a day to less then 10 a day! I'm hoping to transition fully and just today ordered a PCC.

I'd like to thank everyone on this forum. This place is so informative and supportive. If it wasn't for this forum I might not have tried PCs but everything I read here about people's experiences (and how I didn't have to pay $150 for one) made me think it was worth a try.

Now I'm hoping that maybe I can get my mom to try one of these...

I lurked here for about a month before taking the plunge. Read and watched everything. Ordered a 510 kit with PCC and extra juice from cignot. What a pleasure to deal with, even sent them my resume (they just hired some new help and aren't' looking). i also ordered some juce from TW, though it hasn't arrived yet.

I've had this 510 now for four days and well, it's just not cutting it in the nic department. I smoke Swisher Sweets little cigars and I inhale them. My friends won't even touch them they're so strong. I currently use 24mg, but ordered 36mg form TW. I hope that stuff does the trick. I have to constantly vape to get any satisfaction and I'm afraid I'm pushing my atty too hard. I love the taste and flavors and everything else, just not getting the nic. Plus I'm still trying to get a hang of filling the carts and not overfilling them. But I am learning. Just tonight I held a lighter to the end of the batt before realizing my level of cigarette conditioning.

When I get brave I will try the PTB mod and see if that helps me. I ordered five batts so batt life, while short is not an issue. I'm also learning to draw differently. Long and slow instead of short and fast. Getting used to it though.

Time will tell...

I went the lazy route, and bought a Volcano (Or Blu, or, J88b...or whatever you prefer to call it) and I have to say I'm enjoying it. Only day two with it so far, but I haven't had a regular cigarette since picking it up. Already put in an order for more carts, and another atty. Gonna see about getting some juice too.

My only complaint, is I sometimes get this...almost fishy taste from time to time while vaping.

Four days or so after on whim deciding to look up electronic cigarettes (prompted by seeing a Blu banner ad enough times and almost immediately finding this forum), and I was puffing away on a 510 starter kit from cignot. A pretty inexpensive risk to take on something that was likely to turn out to be a momentarily novel distraction and quickly forgotten. I am thrilled by the result, as I missed the joys of smoking tobacco and this not only fulfills that desire but exceeds it in enjoyability. It's not a weak imitation of another experience, it is a whole new fun activity in itself.

I ordered more 510 supplies and numerous juice flavors. The 510 being my first and only e-cig, I have been more than happy with it and await with anticipation my first 510-atty compatible PV mod. I will be trying out other models for fun, after seeing people rave about cartomizers enough times, I will be giving those a try.

TBH this forum is insane. Yesterday i was reading a sticky and forgot where it was ( due to the fact that i have been trying to quit analogs ) now i cant find it at all. This forum is huge it has so many topics about the same things in so many sub-forums its insane and overwelming. WOW

PS this is my first post but i have been reading this forums for the last 2 weeks now

I did a lot of online research and purchased a KR808D before actually finding this forum. I got it because it looked like a cigarette and seemed easy to use. I've been vaping now for about 3 weeks and enjoying it very much. I think I made the right choice for me with a 2 piece unit.

I lurked in the forum for at least 2 weeks gathering lots of great info that has helped me a lot. I'm happy with my KR808D and appreciate all the hints on cleaning and refilling cartomizers, buying e-juice and everything else.

Thanks for a place with such great people willing to share their experiences and help out us newbies.
