Let the quitting begin.My first eCig just arrived.

Three things that are different right off with e-cigs. The new atomizer has a rather offensive taste, but will go away after some use. Changing from tobacco to vapor is something like going from coke to diet coke, after a while it taste as good if not better than tobacco. And finally, vaping uses different techniques than smoking an analog and you have to learn what works best for you. Vaping is not the same as smoking and you have to go through the learning curve to get to the promised vapor heaven. Once you have been through the rites of passage you will enjoy vaping more than you did smoking, at least for me I did. There's some wonderful flavors to experiment with and the possibilities with mixing you own are endless. I would like to know how successful people have been with getting off tobacco with e-cigs compared to the other nicotine replacement systems used. I personally believe that vaping has been successful more than any other system or technique used. I have been tobacco free for 5 months now and without the e-cig that would be impossible. The e-cig is going to make many people healthier and save more life's than anybody knows yet. I don't even think about a cigarette any more, but I think about vaping all the time.

Welcome Bulldogge,
Don't worry about Vaping all the time... You'll find your happy spot. Picture if you will:
Wednesday afternoon my Pure Smoker Passthrough arrives at my door. So now i know where and what i am going to be doing this Thanksgiving weekend. Sitting at the computer, Mixing Low nic juice and vaping my days away... well look, it's Friday night and i am still mixing some nice stuff. Don't even come close to wanting that dreaded analog and if thats what it takes, oh well.
But, good luck to you.. Remember you have friends here.

If you are looking for a stronger flavor, make sure you give RY4 (Ruyan #4) a try. Whats great about that flavor is that it tastes like so many different flavors to different people. To me it tastes like what a new pack of cigarettes smells like , with a hint of carmel and then the last part of it has a kick of citrus in it.

Just make sure to prep yourself for the shedding of the tar in your lungs. I went to the ER because I was having problems. It went away after a few days, but I was an Ultra-Light smoker. For me it was similar to a mild sunburn, barely noticeable, with a bit of tightness in the lungs.

It took a few weeks before this kicked in (the tar cleaning).

Welcome,

I am new to vaping also. I just started approximately a week ago. I have still been smoking regular cigarettes, but my consumption has dramatically decreased and is dropping each day without even trying. I hope to be off of cigarettes completely sometime next week. Yesterday I had 5 cigarettes and this is from someone who chained smoked 3-4.5 packs a day for about 25 years. I am currently chain vaping 36 mg liquid.

I have only tried e-juice from a few different vendors; however, the e-juice from myfreedomsmokes.com seems much more flavorful and the vapor production appears greater with this juice. The customer service is also excellent. The night after I submitted my order, Chris from myfreedomsmokes.com actually called me at home and said I forgot to get my free gift (2-20ml of the 24 mg e-juice). In addition, he noticed that everything I ordered was the 36 mg e-juice so instead he gave me 2-20 ml in the 36 mg strength. A very nice guy!

So far so good. I have dropped to about 1-2 cigarettes per day. I am still to really warm up to the flavor. Scouring the web for the next flavor purchase. I am leaning towards the Ruyan #4, or a coffee flavor.
I am also looking a some of the Johnson Creek stuff. There was some mention on this site about their flavors killing the atomizers, but then I read that this was a problem with a batch, but has now been solved. Can anyone offer up knowledge of this? I did scour the thread, but its huge and was difficult to find conclusive evidence of what happened, if anything. And I just do not have the time to read 30 plus pages of thread.

Welcome to the world of vaping. I am also glad to see another newbie starting out with a M401, the 510's seem to be taking over the world.

Check out the Mxxx series forum for some good information. I especially recommend the thread on dipping. I'm very fond of this method now, and the 401 atty's are perfect for it.

Even when I purchased a Bartleby mod, I had Jay make me a 401 version so I can continue to dip.

Good luck and have fun!
