Asking for advice- Total newb here..

[demorphius]

Before anything, let me be completely honest. I'm not a heavy smoker, and honestly, a pack of smokes lasts me about a week. I've trying to get off the stuff for health concerns, and browsing around I found a link to the blu cig website. I'm intrigued about what an ecig has to offer. I was lurking through the threads and I've read a LOT of bad things about ordering from blu. I noticed a lot of you guys prefer the 510s, but that only leaves me with a million questions, and one of them is wtf is a 510? I've never used an ecig, and I hadn't heard of one 'till the day I found the blucig site.

What I'm asking is for advice. I guess I'm leaning towards the blucig because it seems simple, and honestly I find all this dipping stuff and different parts a little intimidating, and the mass of information here is a little overwhelming. ^ ^ I just wanna take a nice solid step into this. If I don't go for the blucig, I have no idea where to start, what I need or anything of the sort.

Any ideas? I'm at a total loss here.

It is overwhelming isn't it? I am new and went with the 510. From everything I have read, don't go with Blu. They have pretty packaging and make it look good. But I read that it takes forever to get your order, and most people end up canceling. I got two 510 to start with. It is black and just a little longer than a cigarette. But you can get them in white. I have one charging while I'm using the other one. So far it's working real good for me. I decided the other day that I want to try a penstyle, so now I have one of those coming. They say it lasts longer because of the bigger cartridges.

I am cancelling my BluCigs order - instead I bought a Tecc.510 Titan ECig starter set from these guys:

The Electronic Cigarette Company
(check the supplier review section, there's a forum for these guys, I can't post a URL on this forum yet, too new. You'll see my quick review there).

It took all of two days to arrive (just yesterday in fact). Like you, I'm not a really heavy smoker, and this is my first try at an Electronic Cigarette. The set I bought is basically a 510, and everywhere I'm reading on these forums rates the 510 pretty highly (higher even than the model that is the basis for BluCig). I'm finding that there's a small learning curve to getting it right but it's pretty damn cool all around. I'm thrilled that there's no ashes, residual smell, none of the negatives that come from cigarettes and cigars. I can really get used to this.

Definitely get some liquid to go with it. The cartridges seem to dry out closer to the atomizer (before they're really done). A couple of drops gets them going again and it's really easy. I got a coffee flavored liquid just to try out a flavor and it's working great. Again, I'm a newb at this.

Thank you all so much for your replies!

After I posted this, i made it a must-do to read all I could and I ended up ordering a m401 from Midwest Vapor on Friday. It got shipped yesterday so I'm very anxious to get it.

BlackBird, yeah I ordered some juice to go with it. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. Haha.

I got an m401 on Friday and am very happy with it. I have an L88B on the way (Exact same thing as Blu), but I doubt if I will like it as much as I do the m401.

I found the blu very very appealing, i was willing to wait the three weeks to place an order and then wait another month just to get it.. I felt the same way about the forum, i dipped my toes into it and all i did was read about 510's 401's 901's and 801's, and about people dripping liquid into they're carts and what not... it totally turned me off to want to try anything else; but then i started just reading and taking it all in and i ended up ordering a dse084 with some extra batteries to make up for their battery life issue... im now looking into getting a 401 as my next ciggie. now, i wouldnt place an order at blu for my worst enemy!

... anyone know where to get really good camel juice?? I'm still on analogs and i really love my wides!
