A geeky choice

[Popa]

First off, I'm not a real smoker, more like a geeky smoker, who only smokes to produce the smoke itself, looking cool at the same time. Therefore, the whole idea of buying an e-cigarette bares the only purpose of showing my geeky existence to the public (and to occasionally answer questions), but not to an extreme manner. Such situations would include vaping in a train, where the process will only draw more unwanted attention, including law enforcement authorities, who have never heard of an e-cig, which in result would probably get me arrested for disturbing the peace. I've been reading on and on this forum for several days now, jumping from one topic to another. I've already filled my PureSmoker shopping cart and am ready to push that Buy button, but still have some hesitation.

After some vague research I've concluded that I don't really need any nicotine, since I'm not a smoker originally. So, there goes the 'Zero/Nicotine Free (0mg)' choice. I really like the coffee taste due to being a coffee-addicted geeky nerd. However, there isn't any Zero Nicotine Coffee Flavor bottles, so I'm either going to order a 4mg one (which is highly unlikely, considering the previous point), or choose another flavor. If I am indeed satisfied with the product, I'd like to keep dripping the liquid 0-nicotine into the cartridge. There goes the '30ml' choice.

Now, the question is this: which model should I buy (if any)? Should it be the Mini (like a regular 80cm cigarette) or a DSE901 (like Marlboro 100s)?

It's not cool, it's a bad habit. Count yourself lucky that you're not addicted and get a life.

Good answer and straight to the point.

I can see the attraction some non-smokers would have with these. the same way it's not only cigarette smokers will enjoy a hookah now and again but definitely steer clear of nicotine if you want to try them out. don't even be tempted to try a small dose. unfortunately there might not be a lot of options for zero nic users but you can always get a flavour that is not strong and perhaps spice it up with bickfords or lor-anne flavours.

like someone said earlier today, it comes down to this. the size of a device in most cases determines how much liquid they can contain and how long the batteries last. those 103 model minis are generally thought of as being inferior to the 901's. but the new m401 minis have gotten good reviews.

Gee, I didn't mean it like that, that's a pretty harsh response. I just wanted to get others' opinions on more appropriate model type. The fact that I only have 1 post doesn't mean that the post contains useless info (i.e. spam). Kate, your posts that I've read are very informative and I thank you for that. I also apologize if I caused any uneasiness in your answer.

...definitely steer clear of nicotine if you want to try them out. don't even be tempted to try a small dose...

Thanks, dc2k08. I'll definitely consider going with other flavors and avoid nicotine.

Sorry Popa, don't take it to heart, it's not personal.

For goodness sake though, if you must esmoke don't take nicotine, it's very addictive. Really, it's not cool or smart.

Janty do zero nic juices and you could mix your own with glycerine and/or propylene glycol and flavourings. Have a look here - DIY e-liquid - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

A DSE901 is a good choice.

Again, apologies for being off with you, telling you to get a life was wrong of me.

Welcome to the forum.

Are you in the US? If so, puresmoker.com has cola in 0 nic (you'll probably love it)....and pina colada (like pineapple) and coconut, i think.

I didn't check all the flavors so you might want to look at the others too. But I agree with the others....try to stay away from the nic. IT IS addicting....that is why we are all here now!

If you're not in the US....then my suggestions are moot. In any event, good luck!

BTW...the tiny ecig looks more like a real cig but the cartridges don't hold much juice and the batteries have to be recharged more often. The 901 seems preferred and looks like a cig but with a cigar type mouthpiece.

That's totally cool, Kate. I respect all of your posts. On another note, people prefer 901s over Minis. For a real starter (like myself), what is your recommendation based on?

Sorry, I thought I'd posted my location. Brooklyn, NY. As for the other flavors, thanks, SambucaLu, I did take a look at them, but I really have a thing for coffee: I drink it for breakfast in the morning, and now I can smoke it to get through the day.
