Atlanta, GA area E-Vapers?

[Xothin]

I got lucky with mine... not too lucky, but lucky enough. He charged me $100 instead of $150 and gave me a break on some of the parts.

I did find out later that they don't sell 901s, they sell the RN4075, which is a cheap knockoff... the batteries are garbage, already returned 3 and about to have to return another one. Glad it has a 1 year warranty.

Since then I've purchased a JOYE306 (which I love except for the really short battery life, I use it in the car on the way to work), an m401 (intellicig branded) and an m510. I love the m401 because of the long battery life, but dislike the carts because I always have to carry around something to push the inner cart out.

I've seen the screwdriver and its a great idea... but I couldn't see putting that beast in my mouth to get my fix.

The pictures of the SD are deceptive. It's no longer than a 901. And the way you have to hold it to activate the switch, no one can really see it anyway. But I guarantee one thing, once you try an SD, you will think you have never really vaped before. That is how good it is.

I'm also from Jonesboro.

With as many people here from the Atlanta area, it's curious that I still get stared at while using my e-cig at Georgia State.

Someone mentioned opening a shop at Little Five... I've been expecting something like that there for a while now. You should do it! I can guarantee you at least one regular customer!

Alright, so.... I finally got my 901 in last Monday. I didn't want to post about it until I had a few days to try it all out and see what's what.

First off.. the starter kit cartridges tasted awful. Wow.. just awful. Luckily, I decided to just go ahead and order a bottle of RY4 before I even had the 901 , so I waited patiently, not using the e-cig, till Wednesday when my juice shipment came in.

....I haven't had an analog since Wednesday morning. It's seriously so weird. I've been at least a pack a day smoker since I was 15. And then.. I just stopped. I'm only using 11 mg nic juice too. I definitely had withdrawal symptoms the first couple of days... headache, a little shaky, etc. But I can honestly say I haven't craved an analog at all - not after a meal, not when I wake up, not during any other "high trigger" times. When I get a craving, I just vape. And when I'm not vaping, my e-cig is usually still glued to my hand, but for some reason I'm not overusing like I thought I would.. I think just having it in my hand and knowing I can use it whenever I want prevents me from abusing it.

Glitch, it's interesting that you get stared at on campus.. my bf goes to GSU and I don't think he's vaped there yet, but at least you'll have another person around to share the gawking.

As far as public encounters go, I haven't really been out much.. end of the semester crunch and all. But I went to see Flight of the Conchords with a bunch of friends at Fox Theatre on Saturday (which was a freakin blast, by the by), and 3 of us vaped during the entire performance. I think if you're discreet and considerate - covering the LED and not blowing vapor towards anyone - it's really not that big of a deal, not one person noticed. Afterwards, we stopped at Estoria for some drinks, and I really can't even count how many questions I answered and how many times I had to write "e-cigarette-forum.com" or the websites of some of my fav suppliers on the back of receipts pulled from my purse. It's kinda weird to me how a city as diverse as ATL is so in the dark about e-cigs.. lots of people seem to be very interested though.

The only negative encounter I've had so far, I guess, was with a man walking out of a Target in Mabelton. We crossed paths as we were walking through the parking lot and he just stared for a long time, and said something about "drugs" to the woman with him. ..Because I totally just walk around strip malls in Cobb Co. with a blue LED'ed electronic crack pipe.

Aaanyway, enough rambling from me today! It's pouring down here in Macon and I'm pretty bored. Sorry!

Damn, I wanted to go to that show

Anyways, took the dog to the dog park up in Dunwoody yesterday. Flew under the radar for a bit, covering the LED, holding in the vapor till it dissipated, etc.. After a while though, I was full on vaping in the open. Got a couple of odd looks, but no one really said anything. I guess when they see that you're not ashing and they can't smell the "smoke", most people move on. I do think the one old couple that was there were whispering something about drugs and pointing in my general direction, but who's to say?

At any rate, it made for a very plesant afternoon and a nice calm puppy for the rest of the night.

The best part of the whole thing, however, has to be being able to "smoke" at my desk. I work in tech support and have very little patience for stupidity (not a great combination). Being able to get a quick "fix" while dealing with a particuarly difficlut customer makes things so much more managable

At any rate, already looking at my next purchase. Need to get a spare battery for my 401 first (dog already chewed up one of the two that came with my kit...). I'd like to go ahead and get a screwdriver, but my settle for a 901 with a usb passthrough for now.

Thanks for all the advice guys!

Kind of off topic, but is anyone going to the Stephen Lynch show on 05/09?

Ha.. no, didn't know he was coming. And you missed out with FotC, it was pretty hysterical.

I'm in the Snellville/Lilburn area of Gwinnett!

Glitch actually got me interested in ecigs and I ended up getting one of my own. I'll be a regular in little five as well!

I live about 2-3 miles from that Target! I vape around (in) there all the time!

I visit the Best Buy in Jonesboro quite a bit, and every time I go in there I get either stared at or questioned about my PV. As a matter of fact, yesterday a woman standing outside (man I really am glad that isn't me anymore) stopped me and asked if I was using one. When I confirmed, she said that she had a card in her pocket for a distributor. If I wasn't in such a hurry to get what I needed to get done, I would have stopped and given her a little more information.
