After first day and a half

[jmanning]

Ok, I got the eGo kit, charged up the bats and started vaping a day and a half ago. I was smoking about 1 1/2 to 2 packs of analogs a day. I have not smoked a single analog since I got the kit! This is a big accomplishment for me. Very happy with the eGo.

I do seem to have a small issue getting a consistent draw. One time a slow, steady draw gives me good TH and "burn", next time with the same draw and it is too light. Sometimes a harder draw works better.

Thanks for all the info on the forum. I would have wasted a lot of money without it.

Congrats. I'm on day 8 without tobacco, at first it seems hard but the days pass quickly. If you feel yourself craving a cig just vape until you can't vape anymore lol. I smoked for 16 years and it feels incredible to finally have the demon of tobacco off my back.

37 year (2 pack/day) smoker here....ashamed to admit it.

I'm a month into no analogs and keep an old half pack sitting on my patio so I can see them. No way I'll pick one up now.

When I first quit analogs, I kept some 36mg juice to kick the urge down into the dirt.

I had a hard time getting things to work consistently too. Vaping isn't like smoking, it takes a little practice to get it to work right. Are you using carts, carto's or dripping?

I had same problem with 510 good vapor but would run out kinda quick for me.

I bought a bunch of prefilled carts, Marlboro 24mg, and some of the same liquid, so I am re-filling the carts. Seems to work better just after a re-fill.

Inconsistency is the nature of this partcilar beast. It will get better as you get more experience, but it will always be there to annoy you.

Cart's don't hold a lot of juice so you'll need to keep it topped off. Take about 5-8 drags, then refill. That's what worked best for me. I recently switched to carto's (cause I ran out of cart's) and they'll work for a lot longer between refills. Cart's seem to have better draw and flavor than carto's but are a bit less convenient.

A "carto" is a cartomizer?

Also seems the whistle-tip carts may work better than the round for some reason. Maybe too early to know for sure.

yep, refilling is the key to making it a real pleasure and joy, and fun with all the flavors to try

Now it isn't just a nic fix, it's a new food group of flavors to try and, a new electronic gizmo to get accessories for, modify and play with - oh boy, talk about addictive and desireable.

 

[cskent]

Yes, a cart is a cartridge and a carto is a cartomizer.

Ok. I think I am getting this. What seems to be working now is 1. refill often and 2. remember proper inhalation technique, slow, long draw. With these 2 things it seems to be working much better.

My wife is also a smoker and want to vape, so I am trying to get this down to something simple that I can prep for her. She is not patient enough to fiddle with something all day, she will just grab an analog.

Cartos may be the best way to go.

Cartos are a bit more expensive than carts. They are also considered disposable. But they are convenient. I've been paying $7.95/5 pack. They seem to do pretty good for about 4 to 5 days and then the vapor production falls off a bit. I keep one going for each flavor.
