After a false start (note to self, wear your glasses)

[Claire O Miser]

After reading an article called "Smokers (and E-Smokers) of the World, Unite" I decided to become a member and here I am.

Also today I bought my first "real" e-cig, after wasting a fortune on cheap CE4 type e-cigs and never really knowing whether they were going to work from one puff to the next. I love my new one.

Welcome to ECF!! What did you get?

It's a Kangertech EMUS. I know it has a relatively short battery life and smallish tank but it has really good reviews for quality and reliability. I just smoked it for the first time an hour ago and it was bliss. I got two in the set so I'll always have one ready. I chose that one because of the 1.8 ohms and the fact that I could replace the coil. And it's really pretty. I've survived for four months on standard CE4 e-cigs and I was getting fed up with my desk drawer filling up with the parts of the ones I gave up on in disappointment. I literally have about 10 batteries (bottom bits as I call them). But what put me off getting a proper one was I found it all really confusing. I've learned a lot in the last few hours, researching it all. But I still have my L plates on. But I'm so pleased with it. Every puff is consistently throat hittingly satisfying (using 24mg spearmint juice.

I'm going to save a lot of money with this (it wasn't expensive) as I won't have to buy a whole new one about once a week, just change the coil. If I look after it carefully and change the coils etc. how long do you think it would last ? Sorry if that's a clueless noob question.

 

[Claire O Miser]

Thank you ! I'm looking forward to finding out more, not just about the e-cigs. It has been a favourite rant of mine for a long time about how despicably smokers are treated and I can't believe how governments and respected organisations are getting away with trying to place the same stigma on vaping. Well,they have to have someone to demonise I suppose.

Welcome! I remember back in the day, haha, when I started out on those ce4 tanks, and then I was introduced to larger ecigs and mods. Now I just need to get into RBA.
Hope you enjoy your stay

 

[Claire O Miser]

I'm still a learner but I did research it as much as I could. It's probably a bit lightweight compared to the advanced set ups that knowledgeable vapers have but I'm really happy with it. Oh its a Kangertech EMUS. I got two, as they have a fairly short battery and small tank (1.2ml).

 

[Claire O Miser]

I did actually buy one about a year ago. Don't laugh, it was one of those that look exactly like a cigarette. I thought it had potential and tried to find out about better ones and then I gave up looking as my head was about to implode. I think the CE4 ones are good in a way though as when they do work they are good enough to encourage people.

Welcome Claire, I must warn you that once the Vape Bug bites it can get just as expensive as smoking. You just have to pace yourself and close your eyes when you visit ecig web sites!

 

[Claire O Miser]

Kangertech EMUS. I know it's a beginners one but it's still a world apart from the CE4. I have a sinking feeling it will get out of hand once I get to know what all the others do. But right now I couldn't be more pleased with it.

 

[Claire O Miser]

I nearly went for Mick Anickle-Mods.

 

[edyle]

well you'll save yourself a bunch o pounds by checking here first before you buy your next setup.

i had accumulated about 6 ego type batteries when I first started last year; thought I'd be good for a year; they started giving problems after about 3 to 4 months; didn't help that the charger I had home went faulty; I had another at work; if i'd had them together I might have picked up on the fault sooner and maybe I'd have stuck with eGo's longer;

but in the end it gave me the excuse to get myself a zmax and a vamo for christmas.

 

[Claire O Miser]

That's just as I feared. It wasn't about the money, although I do notice I now have enough money for luxuries like food. I just wanted to stop smoking without any unpleasant withdrawal or becoming really bad tempered. Moving over to e-cigs was virtually painless. Whoever invented them should get some sort of huge pat on the back.
