7 year smoker. Looking to start e-ciggin'

[KennyD]

Hey guys,

Well I stumbled upon this website and have some questions.

I have researched the past few days on here.

I am going to go with the Joyce 510. I am a pack and a half a day smoker of Marlboro Menthol Lights, and am looking to quit this habit. I LOVE smoking, but hate the effects.

I am familiar with vaporizing. My friend has a "Volcano" (herbal lol) vaporizer and I am about to order the Silver Surfer Vaporizer for herbal blends.

I hear this BAN from the FDA, and I would like to try this product before it is not available. Money is not an issue, I have plenty of credit cards and how can I justify my 6-9 dollar a day habit on regular Menthols?

Heaven's gifts, is that my best bet? I am looking to buy a whole kit tonight, hopefully have it by next Monday.

What should I be looking for? 2-3 extra batteries...maybe 2 extra atomizers. I want a few different blends of nicotine levels. I'd say I am safe with the highest dose, then a medium dose.

Could you be so kind as to direct me? I have to go play basketball (Even though I am a chronic smoker, lol I can still play full court basketball and outrun NON-SMOKERS).

I am looking to better my life, quit stinking up the place, and save my lungs.

(Vaporizing is great for "herbs"....90-95% of the chemicals are absorbed through this method lol)

Thank you,
Kenny D.

It looks like you are off to a good start and the 510 with the manual batteries is a good models for beginners. Definitely get some extra atomizers and at least one extra battery. Then if you really take to it, look into getting one of the models that gives better performance with batteries that will never be banned such as the Prodigy from puresmoker.com or the Super T. Then at least you won't have to stock up on batteries. Heaven's Gifts is a good supplier. Their juice is good and the price is good. You are wise to start out with a little higher nic level such as 24mg. Many members have posted that they like their RY4, Cola, Hilton and Kent flavor juice.

I've used eastmall.net to stock up. They have good prices on the 510 starter kit and 5 packs of atomizers and batteries. If you spend ovr $150 air shipping is free and mine get here in 5-6 days. For the liquid, so far I like that from Nhaler the best, but it's a matter of personal preference.

The best idea might be to get some 24mg juice and some 11mg juice in the same flavor.
That way you can mix it to different strengths without affecting flavor, until you find what you need.

And if money isn't an issue then don't order from Heaven Gifts because it will take too long.
Order from someone here in the United States and you'll have it in a few days.

Does it really seem like the FDA would ban it? It just seems like they are not willing to approve it anytime soon. I really hope there isn't going to be a ban. That would be ashame.

Look at all the things that are banned and illegal right now. We'll still get our stuff somewhere.

cignot.com has the Joye 510 for 35.00 and menthol juice that is not bad I was a menthol smoker myself. Their shipping is fast too I had mine in two days from hitting the order button.

 

[Crankyfuzz]

One other suggestion as a new vaper get the pass through and wall adapter (just dont trust plugging into pc) you wont regret it. Not only will it make the first charge bearable but it will come in handy. Another thing you might want to look at is a PCC case for the 510 lets you charge on the go.

 

[hittman]

If you are looking for a good menthol, I would suggest either the nuport or 555 menthol from nhaler. I am an ex-menthol smoker and tried several menthols before I found the 555 menthol. Now it is my favorite and I always have some on hand.

 

[KennyD]

Ok guys, I am a little lost.

I went to Cignot. I think I am going to order this:

Joye 510 with PCC - Special 65 dollars free shipping.
Included in this kit is 2 complete Joye 510 cigarettes (2 atomizers and 2 batteries), 5 prefilled carts, 1 AC charger, 1 PCC in the color of your choosing and your choice of 2 accessories. Cartridges are whistle tip.

Ok. So basically, this is two batteries, 2 atomizers. Since this is my FIRST use of this kind of vape, would I be better off buying ANOTHER atomizer and battery, so total I would have 3. 1 for use, and 2 backups to keep me vaping throughout the day?

Also, how long do these pre-filled carts last....I smoke a pack and a half a day so I heard one cart is one pack? I don't want to keep constantly ordering, maybe I should buy another set of carts so I could at least try it for a week or so. I would get the Menthol, they are the only cigarettes I have smoked. Maybe a 24mg and then an 18mg to see how I handle it.

How does this sound to you guys? I am new to this scene, and although I don't mind spending money to STOP SMOKING, I don't want to THROW money away either.

Any help is appreciated guys, I will make an order tommorow pending reviews of what you guys are posting.

I'd recommend just getting the kit and see if you like it, Then get extra parts as you see fit once you try it. And consider TotallyWicked, based in west florida, maybe a quicker ship and it seems to have more variety.

 

[mach]

Oh, and if you're a heavy smoker, carts will not do alone, get yourself some e-liquid, it's the only way.

So I was in the same boat as you about a month ago. Loved smoking, smoked for 7 years, but needed to quit. I was at a pack a day, but could easily down a half a pack when drunk in about 4 hrs.

Ecigs are so amazing to me. You are definetly making a good decision by starting them. Even if they give you trouble at first, stick with it. They arent cigarettes, but something completely new and different to you, so it will take some getting used to. My first day I felt a little nausious and it tasted weird/hit my throat weird. But that was only my first day. I started with blu (newb move) and moved on to 510. 510 game me trouble at first, but I kept with it and I now have my mom smoking one (42 yr smoker). Shes hoping to quit cigs altogether next monday.

Deff get some liquid, its a must. Prefills suck in comparison, price and quality wise. Also, I personally wouldnt up it to 24mg. I use a little less than 2ml/day and thats about 38mg of nic/day. Twice what I used with ciggys (roughly 20mg/pack). There's talk about absorbtion rates being lower, but I found 18 is a good balance. Not too much, but enough if the absorbtion really is lower.

(note on absorbtion: an analog has about 10mg nic, but only 10% is absorbed. Some say absorbtion through vaping is lower than from smoking, and some say its higher.)

 

[KennyD]

Thanks Mach.

This e-juice you speak of, is it Nicotine in a bottle you mean? I saw a video on youtube and the guy was putting it into the factory cartirdge from the TITAN 510.

Speaking of which, the TITAN 510 is the same as the one I showed you right?

Thanks for helping the newbie. I am just trying to get some relief from smoking. If anything, it can HELP me stop smoking real cigs as much.

Thanks Garrell6888. This liquid you keep speaking of, isn't that what I was listing? Sorry this is like discovering the herbal vaporizer all over again. (The best thing I've ever used)

Yes kennyD, you buy the e-liquid in a bottle, then drip it into the spent cartridge. The cartridges come with liquid in them but they last about 3 cigs worth. So you can refill and use the same cart many times, I find a week until it gets chewed, gross, and the felt pad inside doesn't absorb well anymore. And yes, all the 510's are the same whether they are called Titan, Yeti, or whatever. I use a 901, mini, or Elite mini, all the same, but I've ordered a 510 because research shows it's a good one. I used to smoke a pack of marlboros a day, very expensive here in Canada and actually am put-off by cigarettes now once used to vaping. These things can be fidgety but trust me, well worth it. Eventually get spare parts but two atomizers and two batteries will get you going. Just get the bottle of e-liquid ( menthol in your case ) It's the only practical way to do this. You may want to search the forum for menthol recommendations because the sample I tried once didn't seem the same as a menthol cig, but I'm no authority on that flavor. Hope I've helped you, as a Canadian, I'm almost a Floridian, right? Ha ha...

 

[KennyD]

Sorry to spam this post guys but I am so interested in this...

I went to the TotallyWicked website and they have a TECC-TITAN Black FULL PCC Kit, for 70 bucks. I can't post the link because I don't have 15 posts.

Kit consists of:
• 1 x Black Portable Cigarette Charger
• 1 x Black or White Titan Atomizier
• 1 x Black or White Titan Manual Battery
• 1 x USB Charger cable
• 1 x Mains Outlet USB Charger
• 1 x Car cigarette-lighter USB charger interface
• 5 x Cartridge: Tobacco High
• 3 x Cartridge: Tobacco Med, 1 x Low & 1 x Zero
• 1 x User manual

So, I should buy some of the e-liquid....I would prefer a menthol blend. Maybe I try the 18mg first. I am a little confused because on those cartridges with it, it says Tobacco High....

Any help is appreciated. I plan to be a full-time member on this site and review anything that I use. I am pretty confused

Thank you,
Kenny D

I think that is wishful thinking unless you are so rich money is of no concern. And I believe I read one of your posts stating you have stocked up. So why would you suggest a new person not be concerned if you have stocked up???

Thank you mach. I am going to go to bed I will come back on here tommorow and see what replies I got. Yes, ALMOST FLORIDIAN lol just a TAD bit north of me hahaha..
