Hi all. I'm new (obviously. lol). I've been lurking on the boards for the last little while and finally decided to register.
About me....I've been smoking over a pack a day for about 45 years now. No major medical problems from it yet (knock on wood), but I am starting to notice shortness of breath and decided it was time to stop pushing my luck.
I'm one of those people who can claim I can quit any time I please....I know because I've done it many times. hehe. End result, of course, is that I remained a pack-a-day smoker.
I saw an ad on the weather channel for Blu, checked out their web site, and decided to start doing a little research because it looked like something that might just work for me. Thanks to all the great advice on this forum, and watching a ton of videos on the different products, I decided not to make a huge investment for starters so I purchased a Joyteche 510 kit from GotVapes for $25. (nice little kit, btw)
So, after all my "research" & video watching, I then proceeded to make all the obligatory newbie mistakes, such as not blowing out the transport juice from the atomizer, etc. I must say, that stuff tastes pretty nasty. lol. Which reminds me, why don't they ship those with a pleasantly flavored transport juice instead? But, back to the subject......
Once I got it all sorted (ie:did some more video watching and forum lurking), I have to say I absolutely love it. My little 510 kit has convinced me to go ahead and purchase the kit I really wanted from GotVapes designed for newbs like me. Just waiting for payday to arrive. It's got 2 ego 1000 mah batteries, charger of course, 2 stardust clear ego cartos, a carrying case, 2 juices, a cone & an applicator kit. Very nice. I think it's going to be perfect for me. I'm also ordering a mini Vivi Nova to go with it. I'll worry about vv once the shopping bug hits me again.
Within the first week of using my little 510 gem, I found myself only smoking about a half pack a day, hence my decision to go ahead and order the nicer starter kit. I'm not trying to go cold turkey or anything (from past experience, I know better than to try that, hehe). I've just found myself not reaching for them as often. Instead I find myself reaching for my pv.
So anyway, that's me. Introduction and all that, hi, how are you, etc. Love this forum.
