this site has completly discouraged me from using these things

[Silence]

Wow! Lots of overwhelming info in this thread alone lol... I am also a newb to vaping. Long time smoker trying to quit. I bought my nPro before I found this site and I think I made I made a pretty good choice. Resonably priced seems sturdy and leaves me not caring if I have an "analog" or not. 2 questions... 1) I have order juice and am curious how to tell when i have added enough? 2) Why does it seem like I am ALWAYS having to charge it? I get about 2 hours of vaping tops.

Thanks for all the good info...

Hi Sunny! I'm new too and all the information that I've read is overwhelming. However, first things first. No one can make you want to try vapping. That's a choice you'll have to make on your own.

Secondly, yes, there is a lot of information on vapping. Here's what I did to help me.

1. I read through the forums to get an idea of what vapping was all about.
2. When I realized it was something I wanted to try, I also realized that being new, a
starter kit was the way to go.
3. I made a list what kind of smoker I am - heavy, 1-2 packs a day, mostly at the
computer, tendency to light a smoke, put it out, re-light etc.
4. This helped me to decide what I wanted from an e-cig.
5. I listed all the brands that came close to my expectations.
6. Then I listed what extras I would need to suit me.
7. Researched the brands and started narrowing it down.
8. When I decided on the DSE901 starter kit, I went price comparison shopping. Who
could give me the most for my money, plus service.
8. Then I placed my order

You have to understand that there is no right or wrong with what you choose. You are choosing to suit your needs, not someone else's. Also, as with any new venture, there is a learning curve. You did that when you started smoking - how to inhale and not puff, how to hold a cig, how to carry it, what brand you preferred, how much you're willing to pay etc.

Now, take a deep breath, think about what you want and go shopping!!!

Lots of good info in this thread, but I have a couple more tips for ya.

I started with a 510, and I think that's a very good model to start with assuming you want to deal with the filling of carts. It's definitely more work than analogs, but it turns from a chore into a hobby rather quickly.

I was a menthol smoker, so I ordered a ton of menthol juice with some other flavors mixed in. It turns out that almost four months later, I have most of that menthol juice still sitting in my drawer. Experiment with flavors, and don't overstock yourself with a certain flavor juice until you know it's what you really like. Vaping isn't smoking, so you won't necessarily want to stick to menthol.

And the final tip - when you finally do get your kit, your atomizer will taste like something awful. Don't get discouraged by this. They are filled with primer to keep them from drying up in storage. You'll want to blow this primer out. There are quite a few threads on here that will help you out with this.

Good luck!

1) I have order juice and am curious how to tell when i have added enough?

When you see liquid pooling at the top, you've added the right amount. Dab any excess off with a tissue/napkin/whatever and you're good to go.

2) Why does it seem like I am ALWAYS having to charge it? I get about 2 hours of vaping tops.

I'm not sure what the nPro model is, but charging batteries is one of the hardest things to get used to. This is why a lot of people will upgrade to a battery mod (prodigy, chuck, silver bullet, GG, etc) at some point in their vaping career.

See bolded answers above.

Thats true, I just ordered my chuck, but I don't think I'll be using it outside the house. lol So I'll use my 510 out and about and save the chuck for the house.
