New to vaping! - E-Cigarette Forum

gep642 · 11-18-2009, 04:07 PM

Hey dudes!

I decided to get into this whole vaping thing and am really excited about it. I just ordered a Green Smoke (after doing a little bit of research and watching a few Youtube reviews) and am pretty excited about it getting her in a few days (should be friday!). Looks like people here don't think too highly of it, and some of you didn't get refunds when you returned yours but... well, I've wasted money on dumber things! Though I can easily see this turning into an obsession. I don't even have my first PV and I'm already thinking of ordering another....

Anyway, any advice or suggestions as to how I can enjoy my new hobby?

Read the directions and learn how to get the most satisfaction from your device. Make mental notes of what you enjoy and what you would improve. Use this list to assist you in evaluating another purchase.

Oh, and stay off the forum for a few days. There is way too much information on ECF, much of it bogus, that will overload you. Enjoy your Green Smoke.

Thanks! I guess I'll come back once I've given it a try. Oh and, even though people here have said negative things about it, I'm still looking forward to it and have high hopes.

Vape, vape, and vape some more. Once you get it down, you'll love it.

Oh man, it just got here. I'm charging it now. I'm so pumped, and so is everybody in my office. I'll let you know how I like itttt..

welcome and ENJOY!!!!!

Alright! I tried it out and it is pretty enjoyable! Though I wasn't really sure at first what a throat hit meant, I think I know now, and that's probably the only negative thing about the Green Smoke so far. A soft throat hit feels like you're smoking a cloud, right? That's kinda the feeling I get from this, and it isn't as satisfying as an actual cigarette. Soooo I guess the question I have is.. Any suggestions as for the next battery I should try?

I'll probably use this until my carts are empty, maybe ordering something (either more carts, if I get used to this gear, or another battery if I get some good suggestions/inspiration) when I'm down to one or two left, so here's your chance to help out a newb!

#1) I would just order e-juice from one of the many vendors and refill the carts you already have... much cheaper that way.

#2) Battery mods (if this is what you are asking about, if not i'm sorry) all basically perform the same function, higher voltage = more power to the atty = more vapor. They come in varieties of of voltages 3.7v and up. the basic thing to know here is to research them all and find the one that will support you the best. I.E. warranty, customer service, shipping time/stock, craftsmanship....

Hope that helps

Congratulations on taking the first step!

Go ahead and look into other devices and order one or two. The only way to find out what works best for you is to try different ones. Once you get it figured out you can take the others you have and save them for special situations, emergencies, for friends to use while visiting, or sell them.

I have accumulated three different models at this point - that's one new one a week so far! I have two or three more on my list to try. I know it is kind of overkill, but what the heck. It is still cheaper than what I was paying for cigarettes.

I have found virtues to each of them. I like the 501 manual when I'm out at a concert or a bar with a DJ. I have decked out my M401 with rhinestones and whatnot that suit dress up occasions. And my M702 has been delegated as my 'out all day at the zoo or amusement park' with its nifty little charging case!

Best of luck to you and enjoy the journey!
