Just registered and I wanted to give you guys a little background of myself.
I have been a smoker for about 12 years (a pack and a half/day Newport/Marlboro Menthol) before my first encounter with an e-cig at a kiosk at a local mall. Being the naive person that I was, I bought one (for $250 ouch!). Needless to say, I got ripped-off, as the batteries did not hold much power (died after a few puffs), and they did not give much throat hit. Went back to the mall to try to return the heap of garbage I just bought to get slapped with a no return policy.
I was a little discouraged after that, and went back to smoking, but in the back of my mind I knew that the technology had promise. I revisted the e-cig after running to a local smoke shop and bought a disposable, and it worked a little better but had the same run in with battery life. I was smoking less, but I really wanted to totally kick the habit. Thats when I decided to do some heavy research.
After much afterthought, I decided I was going to take another risk and bought a kit online from Bloog (I still wanted an e-cig that looked like a cigarette and not a cannon so I decided on a KR808 style batt.). The day that I got it shipped to me was the last time I ever smoked a real cigarette, and I finally found what I was looking for to begin with: a permanent alternative to smoking (since I was adamant about smoking and had no intention of quitting).
Since then, I have tried to reach higher levels of vaping and have tried different variations of the eGo style batteries (Riva/kGo etc.) and cartomizers. My current setup right now is a Provari Mini V2 with a punched LR Boge cartomizer and a Phiniac tank. I am looking to settle down and actually save some money from buying all the hardware, and doing some research on rebuildable atomizer and a simple mechanical mod that will last (Zenesis/Odysseus/Penelope atomizer with a GGTS comes to mind right now but they are always sold out!).
Lastly, I would like to thank all of you in this forum as you guys have been a great help. I have been reading this forum quite awhile now as a non registered member and have been watching Youtube videos of highly respected members of this forum, and you guys have helped me kicked the habit for good.
Cheers to a longer life and continue vaping,
Ramil
