Hello all! New vaper here looking for a bit of advice. I am very new to vaping and am looking for some help/recommendations.
I'm a young guy who has been smoking traditional cigs for about 5 years. I've recently become determined to quit before I do too much damage to my health and am very intrigued by the concept of vaping. Over the past 3 months I've experimented with a few different brands. I started with a couple of the basic models you can buy at the gas station (Mark Ten, Vuse) and quite frankly found them to be utter garbage. I nearly gave up right away, but was encouraged to try White Cloud after reading a few stellar reviews online. I was initially impressed with their Cirrus 3x model, which offered much better battery life and flavor than the other models I tried, but then again it isn't that hard to improve on the crappy overpriced gas station brands.
I'm now at the point where every puff seems less satisfying than the last, and feel like I'm in danger of relapsing back to the analog cancer sticks. I was hoping that if I made a post highlighting what I like/dislike about my Cirrus that a wiser, more experienced user could recommend a better setup based on my personal preferences. So here goes!
The Pros:
1) The Flavors - I've tried about ten different flavors and honestly, they've all been pretty darn good. I especially enjoy the Bora Bora and Atlantic Cut. huge improvement over the Vuse and Mark Ten.
2) Convenience - I feel like their two day shipping cost is pretty decent at $7, I like being able to get them fairly quickly and not having to fill the cartridges myself, just open the package and start vaping immediately.
3) Nicotine Level Options - The other models I've tried all came with only one option for nicotine strength. With the Cirrus I've been slowly working my way from full strength down to light, and ideally would like to continue to ultralight. Eventually going nicotine-free is a goal of mine, so the option to keep vaping without continuing to feed my nicotine dependence sounds very appealing to me.
Things I'm Ho-Hum About:
1) Battery Life - Again, as advertised, way better than the other brands I've tried, but I feel like they are exaggerating when they say it lasts three times longer than their competitors. I'm not sure what the industry standard is here, but as long as I remember to charge it at night I'm usually good for the whole day, which works fine for me.
2) Size - This kind of ties in with the battery life. It's obviously way less bulky than toting around a pack of smokes, but I wouldn't mind trading a bit of sleekness for improved power or battery life.
3) Price - Definitely noticed that I'm saving money compared to buying traditional cigs, but I feel like a better value has to be out their somewhere.
The Cons:
1) Really I have only one major gripe with my Cirrus, but it is a HUGE one for me... and that's the general dissatisfaction with my puffs. I just can't seem to get a good, solid hit off of the thing. If you try to hit it too hard it starts overheating and leaking liquid, which can be really nasty if it gets in your mouth. On their website they even acknowledge this problem and advise users to take long, slow drags. I just can't seem to get used to this and find myself craving that feeling you get in your throat/chest when you take a nice, solid drag that really fills up your lungs.
So based on my experiences so far, can anyone recommend me a setup that would give me a more satisfying puff without sacrificing the things I like about my Cirrus? I'd really appreciate any feedback that anyone is willing to provide. I have to go to work soon, but will check back every few hours to answer any questions and respond to feedback. Thanks in advance!
