New to ecigs...new to the forum!

[DaDornta]

Hello!

I am a new e-cig user...I just placed my order for a 901 mini from puresmoker (the kit) along with an additional battery and 5 more carts...

I wonder though, should I have also ordered an additional atomizer? How long do they last if one does not use liquid in them?

I am NOT new to Vaporizing by any means. I was among some of the pioneers of vaporizing for ...*ahem* other substances. I own a variety of vaporizers, including a Volcano and Supreme Vaporizer. I have done reviews on many others as well.

Recently, I have sought to quit my "can a day" of snuff...So i took up smoking. I used to go through a can of snuff a day -- which equates to about 3 packs of cigarettes. I am now down to a pack of cigarettes every other day...Yay!

I've done the math, and even with a new atomizer each month, a new battery, and 3 "five packs" from pure smoker -- I'll save around 500$ a year! My packs of yellow american spirits cost me almost 8$ each here in Alaska!

I had a question to veterans...

When people ask you "what are you smoking" -- and you describe to them what it is -- how do you actually tell them that what they think is smoke is not smoke? How do you explain that it is a vapor? That the risk of second-hand smoke is negligable?

I am very excited about my purchase -- and I wonder if I am the first Alaskan to tote this around?

Many of my smoking mates in the building (aren't smoker connections great?) will be very interested...I need to learn as much as I can and be as informed as I can to answer any and all questions they might ask...

One thing I know I'll like already -- no lighter! AND -- it can be windy outside and you wont have any problems!

I hope to make some friends here!

Welcome to the forum, hope you like esmoking as much as most of us do. I tell people it is a water vapor, that disipates quickly. I tell them there is little or no after smell and no threat of second hand smoke, since it is not smoke. That seems to make everyone happy.

I sent an email to Steve as soon as I got my email confimation, and saw that the shipping address was my billing address...(im lazy and need to change my stuff)...

Within an HOUR I had a reply and assurance from him that I would not have to drive across town to my old (but still valid) address (I just moved) to get my new gear!

Talk about impeccable service!

Has anyone ever tried to vaporize actual tobacco (loose/rolling kind) before?

DaDornta,
I'm sorry I missed you in chat. I have talked to some people and if you look around here you will see that the Volcano and Supreme Vaporizer's prime use is not recommended for the DSE901. You can't put solids in this item. Phillip Morris has come out with a "Tobacco atomizer" you can put a cig in and atomize the tobacco off the cig. That may be the way to go.


Side note: My hubby and I were in Alaska working this summer for C season Salmon.
