Let the quitting begin.My first eCig just arrived.

[Bulldogge]

Hey everyone.

This is the beginning of my journey to quit smoking. My order of a M401 from EVAPERS just arrived. Price was good and the communication from the guys there was quick. I took some time to familiarize myself with the unit before jumping in.
The packaging was good there was no damage, and I had great communication from this vendor.
So far I have tried the 3 flavors I have (Tobacco, Butterscotch, Watermelon). The tobacco is so-so, it really turned me off at first, but has gotten better. The Butterscotch is probably not going to be my favorite, but the Watermelon...now that's where it's at for me at the moment. This surprises me, I would of thought that I liked the heavier flavors more. I still would like to find a "heavier" flavor that I like to go with the food, & the coffee. Thats what I like the most about the analogs.
I now have to remember to take it slow and not keep puffing on it all day. I never smoked in my house, so the temptation to keep going at it all evening will be strong.
Still waiting on another order from buyreddragon.com to show up. But so far I am happy with my initial unit.
Let the adventure begin.

The initial bad taste would be the atomizer. When it first comes in there's something coating it to keep it from drying out. If you take the atomizer and put your lips around the threaded end, with a paper towel in front of the bridge, and blow... it should take it out. Or you could wait and it'll go away after a while of vaping (couple days).

I would recommend that you assign each atty its own flavor. If you're using multiple flavors on the same one, it'll eventually have the flavoring from all of them in it. That'll diminish your pleasure from each different flavor.

Don't let your atty get too dry or too wet. There's a sweet spot for it, you'll find out. Also, the cartridges you have right now are filled with the poly-fill material. I'd strongly suggest you look into the PTB mod. It's a simple way to increase the longevity of your carts. Can put more drops in and it wicks better if done right.

To answer the question you had in another post: I blew directly into a non-smokers face (with his permission, a friend of mine)... he did detect a slight smell. Said it was almost like sweet pipe tobacco (was using johnson creek's Tennessee cured tobacco flavored) but he said it didn't smell bad to him, whereas analog tobacco smoke really stinks. Haven't had anyone complain yet, and I basically vape everywhere. The smell won't last more than a few seconds.

Hope you enjoy your new toy ^.^b and as I'm sure you know, if you have any questions people here are glad to help answer.

Congratulations on your decision to buy an ecig and welcome to the forum.

Try ordering some sample size bottles of eliquid from different suppliers to try. If you like the flavor, you can order a larger size.

I can personally recomment HV liquid from Nhaler.com for liquid with great taste, vapor and throat hit.

Agree with Beckah Order several sample bottles from nhaler and go from there As your sense of smell/taste returns you may start enjoying different flavors Best of luck

For Mseries stuff, i can't recommend absoluteyecigs.com enough. They have virtually every Mseries model there is and have pretty darn good CS. Plus, you're buying direct from the folks who manufactures them. I'm glad that you like your M401. You should get the PCC, manual batts and passthrough next. It will rock your vaping experience.

Congrats on the step you took and welcome.

Being able to "smoke" again in the house is heaven! Congrats and welcome to ECF.

HappyVapor is in Canada. They have FlavourArts and some other really great e-liquids and e-cigs/supplies.

Welcome to the forum!
Glad to see another one pick up the m-series. So many people seem to be stuck on 510's, and I really think the m4x's produce some wonderful vapor, and they're so close to the size and shape we're used to as smokers.

If you ever smoked menthols, I suggest giving that a try. It's a truly bulletproof flavor.
Also, coffee, which I especially enjoy mixed with chocolate and/or vanilla. Though it tastes nothing like tobacco cigarettes, it reminds me of smoking in all the pleasant ways, and none of the negative ones.

Wow, still can't get over how quick the replys come in this forum. Thanks for all the tips guys. I'm starting to notice some increase in the flavor. I wonder if it's the atty or if it's kinda like when you try certian things in life for the first time. Those that have an "aquired taste"...ie scotch, wine, cigars. With those things the more you try the more flavor you can pick out.

Congrats and best of luck! It's a bit of trial and error to find the flavors that you really like, and your taste will change a bit over time. I thought that after 40 years of smoking, I'd want tobacco flavors, but I found that I prefer things like coffee, pear, cherry and vanilla - I'm vaping on some really good Cafe Machiato from Tasty Vapor right now. I don't recall knowing anyone who, after taking their first drag of a cigarette said, "Man, this tastes great!" - I'd bet that most of us gravitated to the brand that tasted the least like old socks. It's great to have so many better choices now.
