OK, So I've successfully converted my 5th analog smoker to e-cigs this month. In doing so, I've been taking notes on each one and trying to come up with a real strategy that works to get people off of analogs and into vaping.
I figured I'd share some of this information with the forum here, both for new vapers and for people who are trying to convert analog smokers over. Here goes, in no specific order, the 10 tips for a new vaper.
1) Convenience is king. Make sure you get a battery setup that's going to last between times where it's convenient for you to charge. A PCC is an absolute essential for 510 users!
2) Order extra juice. Whatever comes pre-filled is fine when you first start out.
3) Try some non-tobacco! Tobacco flavor is great for that comfort period where you still feel all weird about vaping and worried about dropping analogs, but there are some dynamite flavors out there that are really enjoyable.
4) Follow the conversion plan: For the first few days, carry both analogs and your e-cig. After the first few days, stop buying analogs. Try to stretch out your analog supply (your EPIC last pack) by vaping more. Once the analogs are gone, vape 100%.
5) Vape as much as you want for the first month! It's like having your tonsils out - you get all the ice cream you want! Crush all cravings by vaping them away.
6) DRINK WATER! Water helps with both nicotine cravings (which you might get as you go through conversion) and also hydrates you and helps to keep your taste buds fresh.
7) Take vitamins. I recommend that all new vapers start with a regimen of b vitamin complex. B really really helps with my mental state and energy levels which is key for fighting off the analog mental cravings.
8) Keep a backup, just in case. Later, keep a backup to your backup. The $20 njoy npro duo kits they sell at 7-11 in connecticut are perfect backups. Everything is pre-sealed, the battery is pre-charged and it comes with 2 disposable cartomizers. Can definitely get you through until you can get to a charger or an atomizer if you burn one.
9) If it tastes funky, top it off. If it gets too hot, let it cool off. If it isn't producing vapor, blow it out a little.
