Smoke51

[judasburrito]

Hey--you asked about the Peewee from Puresmoker, and I can help you there. I have an identical model from NJOY, the NPRO. If you decide to go that route, I'd definitely order from puresmoker.com (I got ripped off pretty bad on NJOY, I think). It's a good model, especially if it's important to you that your device look like a real cigarette. This model is known as the "supermini" or "RN4081" as well--you should be able to find more information with a thread search.

I haven't tried smoke51 or loongtotem style, but it seems like, cost-wise, chucking atomizers out with spent cartridges is just a bad financial decision at the moment. Also, one big tip I have is that just about every pre-filled cartridge out there tastes awful (the ones i've had, anyway). Have a look around the forum, and find yourself a few cheap bottles of e-juice you think you'll like.

As for nicotine, I recommend starting low and working your way up--check out this thread: Nicotine safety

(Working off my bad karma here, Kate...)

start low and work my way up? That seems kind of backwards for me lol. I already consume very high nicotine levels, im like almost a 2 pack a day smoker. I was thinking get the highest and work my way down. so i can quit nicotine.

It seems the nicotine works differently for everyone. I smoked 50-60 lights cigs a day so I started with medium and that didn't do anything for me. I was still craving analogs like mad. Then I went to high and that didn't cut it for me either. Still craving too many analogs. I really just don't think I was getting enough nic. I have just ordered some 36mg...that should do the trick

Besides, I have some no nic if I need to cut it.

But I see others start out lower. I also see others start out higher then go lower (maybe I'll be able to do that someday?). I think those who quit smoking the first time they picked up an e-cig were really lucky they found that right "mix". Hopefully I'll find mine.

Just be really careful if you're playing with anything higher than 18, and here's why.

You probably smoked once every 30 minutes or so as an analog smoker.

Vaping, for most people, is different--there's no way of really knowing when you're 'done with a cigarette' so many people vape for 30 minutes or an hour straight. Do this with 36mg nicotine juice, and unless you smoked 5+ packs a day, you will knock yourself out pretty quickly, and may even need a trip to the hospital.

Just trying to be helpful--don't want people hurting themselves. Check out the link in the previous post, if you haven't already.

+++++ Here are lots of karma points for you Judasburrito

[paladinx]

well the place that im thinking about buying from doesnt even have catridges that high. thats what im confused about. They said their 8mg cartridge is the equivalent to a marlboro red. Are they blatantly lying, or are their cartridges different some how?

[frazzledglispa]

One thing that you will find is that there are many many lies in the e-cig industry. A single charged battery will last a week, one cartridge is the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes. Completely safe. Legal to smoke anywhere, etc...

I don't believe that 8mg is equivalent to smoking Marlboro Reds. Based on what I read on the Smoking 51 website I don't think I would believe them if they told me that the sun sets in the west.

Yes, there is a lot of misinformation about esmoking.

The problem here is that you've been looking at disposable atomiser cartridges Paladin. I don't know how nicotine is measured in them but for ordinary juice it is mg per ml (except for Johnson Creek which is mg per 1.2ml).

Some people say a Loong Totem disposable cartridge lasts for a day and some only get a few hours. Some can be refilled a couple of times and some can't.

[paladinx]

a day? They are saying one cartridge is like two packs. who knows. I don't know. Ill be honest with you, after reading this forum, I am getting more discouraged about trying E-cigarettes. Everything seems to be inconsistent, a hassle, and everyone seems to make complaints about every product lol. Either they dont get enough smoke, their batteries die, the atomizers get clogged. Plus no one really knows how safe these things really are. I might just buy snus, and try that method of quitting smoking. seems a lot easier and less of a hassle.

My two cents:
I'm 20, been smoking marlboro menthols since I was 14.
For about 2 years since I turned 18, I have been smoking 1-3 packs a day fluctuating, and I got my penstyle yesterday.
I started with the low nic cartridge, and it was ok, then switched to the high and it was great!
Then, as previously said, i puffed on it for a good while and got a bad stomach/headache.
I switched to taking it easy and once I got used to the e-cig and how it felt I tried the lower dosages and felt the exact same. Been puffing on a no nic cart since 3.30 now and I still haven't wanted a real cig since.
If you thunk snus would work better for you, then by all means go for it. But for me it was the act of oral fixation/nic that "got me off".
