Last weekend my wife and I decided to give e-cigs a chance to help us quit analogs. After tons of research here, I figured we needed 510s with plenty of spares and charging devices.
By the time I listed all the gear and necessary devices, I found that I had to get things from different places. Most of the stuff - 510s, chargers, attys, batts, pass-thrus, juice, etc, etc - came from one place. But they didn't have PCCs, so they were ordered from another place, and I tossed in some 24mg juice since the strongest I had ordered from the first place was 16mg.
Then I started reading about the possible side-effects of PG, I decided to order some VG, just in case PG had adverse affects. More e-store searching ensued, and I found a place that had VG and a 510 kit with a *purple* PCC. My wife is nuts about purple, so I ordered it along with some VG.
Yesterday, we received 2 of the three packages we ordered. Guess which package didn't arrive? Yep, the big one with all the 510 gear.
Luckily, that 510 purple PCC kit did come. But the only chargers we had were USB, and that one battery seemed to take forever to charge off USB, even though the PCCs charged quickly.
I searched here, trying to figure out how long a new battery took to charge on USB. I didn't find anything definitive. But I knew that battery had to fully charge to properly condition it.
Two hours later I remembered that we had 6 more batts on the way, and I could afford to "lose" one due to improper conditioning.
We fired up the solitary 510 with some 24mg Marl - we're both Red smokers - and got through the metallic taste of a new atty. Interesting. Not bad at all. We passed that single 510 between us for a while.
We then tried out the almond VG juice. Even better! Tasty!
After an hour and a half, it was time for me to hit the sack, so we had a "real" cigarette as my wife called it.
Um, kinda, well, not so good.
After 1.5 hours sharing a PV, the analog didn't taste as good as it once did. It was quite a change between almond vapor and burnt leaf chemical Marlboros.
But here I am in the AM, getting ready to go to work, and I'm puffing an analog and chain-hacking the morning cough. My wife will get to use the 510 for the day, and I'll make my workday with analogs.
Hopefully the other package will arrive today. And hopefully the batteries will be fully charged by the time I get home.
Wish me luck.

Either way, I'm stuck with the red one for now, but I like red too, so it's okay. I'll be more investigative of options the next time I find myself ordering one, though.
