Hi I'm a noob also, been lurkin' & reading for a few weeks now & had not posted yet thanks for the "place 4 the noobs to post thought "....:thumb:
THIS PLACE is GREAT...a little DEEP :?: but GREAT! Soooo much info .

I started googling e-cigs after my sister showed up w/one, an $85 401 kit that she found online somewhere. :facepalm: drag huh?

Her issue was that it made her head spin :laugh: , so she thought she would bring it to me...I smoke more than her but Ultra lights she does lights. So thats how I came across this place, was trying to find out what I had etc. I determined the problem is that the carts were 24 MG & yeah they made our heads spin, So after reading for awhile & shopping around ...I found strictlyejuice & ordered a 901 kit ($27) & some low & very low e-juice small sample bottles & blue foam pcs... fluval in my 401 was questionable... & our order showed up in 3 days ...and we were off !

She did well (no analogs 7-8 days) then she started to feel like her face & throat was swelling ??? We have alot of allergies & it's hard to tell if it was the e-cig or not (she had also moved into new house) So she put her's down. She really was very pleased with the whole process & her new 901,now she is so upset by the whole thing she doesn't even want to discuss it. I am thinking I need to order some VG supplies & do the DIY thing & see if she has the same symptoms... I need to get her up & vapin' again .

My experience was also great but doomed ... I like the 401 and all seemed to be going well (no analogs) till the 4rd day. I woke up & was all happy to go grab my "silly cig" as I had been callin' it & It wouldn't WORK !! waaaaa I was crying with in about 5 mins of trying to figure out what was up ... the light lit up but NO VAPOR ...I lasted about 30 mins before I was @ 7-11 with tears in my eyes buying cigs ! It sucked !! But I calmed down & got on here & started lookin' for an answer ...found it @ utube . Once I saw the video RE: NOT TWISTING your atomizer I realized that I had probably twised it a million times, so I fooled with it..twist/suck/twist/suck & I found that there was sweet spot where it would work. So now I am very carefull when removing cart & it works most of the time.

So I am still smokin' analogs & lookin' for 401 spare parts & more flavors to try & have about decided that I'm just going to order another 901 kit. @ $27 & free shipping how wrong can it be :laugh: atleast I should have one working all the time & quit buying analogs!

Hi everyone, here's my story.

33 year smoker...started at age 12 (but who's counting anymore right?) All I'm interested in counting now, is how many ciggs I'm NOT smoking!! A much more productive thing to count.

Anyways I've tried everything over the years. first it was the gum....I found myself one day with 4 pieces of gum in my mouth, contemplating a 5th while lighting up a smoke....yeah that didn't work so well for me...

Next it was Hypnosis...spent some money for a seminar... attended... totally believed I was cured while I found myself pulling over to buy another pack of smokes on the way home (because I had thrown mine away during the seminar.... as instructed)....moving on..

Lets see... Wellbutrin...uhhh yeah, that didn't work either, I found myself sneaking around the side of the house to smoke...??? this was worse than being a smoker!!!! Now I was a 40 year old smoker who felt like I had to hide to smoke like when I was 12....LOL...

NEXT!!!........ Chantix...OMG... that was a fun scientific expirement!!! It turned me into a chick!!!! All of a sudden I had feelings....LOL I wanted to talk... and not just to my wife...but to anyone who wanted to listen...I remember one day I was at my dentists office talking to the girl who ran the office about all these new found feelings and she jokingly said, "Hey, would you like to go to the craft fair with me and a few of my girlfriends this weekend?"...LOL... I almost said yes!!!.. That's when I knew Chantix was seriously affecting me, in a not-so-good kind of way... Not Good...LOL I almost ended up in divorce court....not good .....really....not good.. Finally my wife ( who hates smoking with a freaking passion...said "Please go get some cigarettes!!! My response was, "What.... you'd rather me smoke....than... feel things???....LOL

After that episode< i was convinced, I would be a smoker for life and there was no help for me.... but I'm a very active person and at 45yrs old, I still think I'm 21... but my body was at the point where I was beginning to really feel the effects of smoking for 33 years... So I knew I had to do something..

I saw a co-worker with one of these crazy e-cig things... I talked to him about it, he sent me to a website, I read and read, watched some youtube videos and 2 hours later I'm placing a 149.00 order for some type of ultimate joye510 kit... (yeah, I know I probably paid a little too much, but I got a bunch of stuff I probably would have skimped on and tried to get by without) it came with 4 complete rigs, a bunch of chargers, a bunch of spare empty and prefilled carts...

I really like the 510, but just ordered an Ego/ with the bigger cartomizer...can't wait...

I'm 2 weeks and 1 day analog free....I love it!!!! so does my wife...

just so you know, I will be sending you the bill for a new wireless keyboard...since i have now spewed mine full of coffee after reading your post (kiddin' ;)) FUNNIEST one in a while, especially this -

"Next it was Hypnosis...spent some money for a seminar... attended... totally believed I was cured while I found myself pulling over to buy another pack of smokes on the way home (because I had thrown mine away during the seminar.... as instructed)....moving on.."

non-smokers just don't understand how tough quitting can really be

Another suggestion if you are near a computer for long periods is to pick up a passthrough (PT). It really makes it nice to use the PT while sitting near the computer and save the batts for when you can't be around the computer. It was definitely money well spent in my case.

I quit my job a full months ago to build a business that I was doing on the side and now spend ALL day on the computer. This has really increased my smoking level as it's just too accessible. I work outside on my patio (yes, even in AZ in the dead of summer) because I find I just am more focused if I have the cig and ashtray right by me and we don't smoke in the house.

I think my kit comes with a pass-through and you guys have convinced me to add a manual battery to my list.

Can't wait to join you in the vaping experience. That package should arrive before the end of the next week!

Nice thread idea. i feel the same about WAITING for my PV to come in the mail... I was certain mine was going to be in the mailbox today when I got home from my errand running, I was completely excited about it... got home.. NOT THERE.... ugh, and I had it timed out perfectly so I had no more analogs left by the time I got home. Needless to say I had to break down and run back to the store and get another pack. Hopefully my last pack ever tho, good riddance, I say! I can't wait for mine to get here. I'm putting my hopes on monday!!!


I am counting on Monday too...Maybe we will both be happy vapers on Mon....:vapor:

Good thread!

OK, like a good newbie, i've spent quite a bit of time reading and checking out video
reviews... All i wanted was a simple ecig to try out. Had no idea of the large variety.
What a bunch of never-get-out, pale faced goobers nit-picking every single detail...
Yup, looks like im gonna fit right in.
