Welcome Cate! I think you need 5 posts before you can post links (to keep spammers out of here). Then it will take an hour or so for your status to be updated. Post "Hi" to a few newbies and you'll get there in no time. Congratulations! You're both doing great!

Psoup, you may experience some adverse side effects from quitting smoking/starting vaping. There are many people here who can help with that. Also, check out this thread if you haven't already done so...

Welcome um . . . . Fh! It takes 10 to 15 minutes for nicotine to take effect. Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, which compete with oxygen in getting into your bloodstream. The "nicotine rush" you get with your first cigarette of the day is actually just oxygen...

Welcome psoup! I smoked 2 packs/day for about 28 years, and 24 mg juice works well for me. Nicotine releases dopamine into the brain, which makes you "feel happy." The nicotine is metabolized by monoamine oxidase (MAO), so the "feel happy" doesn't last very long. Cigarette companies have...

Yes. Condoms (some people prefer to call them "silcone caps"). .... plugs. Always save your condoms and .... plugs so you can reuse them. Cartridges come with one condom. Cartomizers come with two condoms and one .... plug. This is very useful for us newbies to know!

Welcome JcP! These are lithium ion batteries. The instructions that tell you to charge 8 hours on the first charge are a holdover from older battery technologies such as NiCad. Any charging beyond the green light is merely a waste of electricity. Many vapers rave about Mrs. T's e-juice, but...

Welcome Katy the veteran vapor!

Welcome Ravage! As CaptJay said, blow the primer out of the atomizers before you try your eGo! A primer is added to the atomizer to keep it moist. My first e-cig was an eGo, but I wasn't aware about the primer and had an awful first experience. If it wasn't for the vets here telling me what...

Hi Minda! I think you will benefit from this forum, or at least enjoy your time here!

Got it Ciele. "When I inhale from a cigarette, warm smoke fills my mouth." I don't know how to replicate this because it's not that important to me, but some of the box mods might help. "I then breathe the smoke into my lungs and can feel the warmth in my chest." Personally, I'm more...

Welcome Jon! For a beginner, most people would recommend a KR808 or a Joye 510. These are great choices if you're able to charge your spare batteries all day, because they don't last very long. I started with a Joye eGo, which is the same thing as a Joye 510 but the battery lasts about 7...

Ya gotta feel bad for the oldtimeys who don't spend much time in our forum.

ctry, thanks for finding this. I'm trying to keep my vaping low-profile at work, so I've been keeping some stuff in the car. Even with the windows rolled down a bit, I've been worried about how hot it gets. Thanks to you, I'll be getting one of these! Imagine; just add water!

I have a couple of questions for you Ciele: How long were you smoking cigarettes before you came to the realization that you couldn't get by without them? A couple of days? A couple of weeks? A couple of months? I have some bad news. Vaping is a substitute for smoking, not a replacement...

Welcome Spyder. Hold on!!!!!!! If you only intend to use it while driving, you're wasting money on an eGo battery. Here's a 5V car lighter adaptor for $9.00 (scroll down): Miscellaneous And here's a USB passthrough (manual, with a botton to turn it on) for $15.00 that you can plug into...

Welcome sahara. The 510 was an excellent choice. Good Luck!

The straw mod only supposedly helps you add juice to the cart. For me, it was useless. I've never tried the tea bag mod because I have no need to. As I understand it, the pyramid tea bags are made of a different substance than square tea bags, so square tea bags may not work. What you need...

Welcome to the forum olivier!

Congratulations Michael! You mentioned nightmares when trying Champix. Many who try to switch to e-cigs also experience vivid dreams or nightmares (possibly just an increased recollection of dreams). Nicotine releases dopamine into the brain so you "feel good." Monoamine oxidase (MAI)...

Most people will recommend a Joye 510 or KR 808 for a beginner. The problem is you have to recharge the batteries every couple of hours. I started with a Joye eGo, which is the same thing as a 510 but has a much bigger battery (it's not shaped like a real cigarette) that lasts about 7 hours...
