BigFatDan is all set and ready to go!

[BigFatDan]

After less than 12 hours of being a member on this forum, I've already made a couple friends. Everybody is really nice.

I tried purchasing a Revolver Infiniti Ion Deluxe starter kit (69.99) and 2 30mL bottles of Menthol juice (15.99 ea)


mynameisrob immediately went onto the revolver website and told me that I'd be screwed and redirected me to Crystal Clear vaping for my new e-power kit that I've just ordered and Blue Mist vaping for my eliquid which I've just purchased 2 (5-pack) 3mL sampler packs from in all sorts of different flavors.

Balthezar Prodijadd and Zogem were also all very helpful and nice.

After staying up til around 4:30 in the morning with mynameisrob, he had not only redirected me to a more superior product at a cheaper price but had also taught me a lot about ecigs.

I would just like to personally thank this whole forum. I will definitely be a very active member here.

At 6 packs a day, I am also glad to say that I believe I can successfully quit smoking with this ecig. I can't wait to post a success story on youtube in a couple months when I'm absolutely sure I've kicked this habbit. I'm disgusted at my eCig banner. I can't believe how many cigs I would've smoked by now if not for this crappy gas-station ecig. It's so nice to be able to breathe easy again.

Thanks everyone,
Dan

Also, the revolver just came 5 minutes ago. I assembled the pre-filled cart-o, tasted like junk, dripped the atty, tasted like garbage. Just like everyone said. Bringing it back to USPS to have it mailed back to them. This thing is junk. Has like 0 TH flavor is garbage and it has weird threads that don't fit anything.

Was that a typing error or did you actually go through 6 packs a day?!

Boy am I glad you found this forum.

 

[BluSwatch]

Dan .... you smoked 6 packs a day???? Wow, good for you!

 

[Tersur]

Welcome to the ecf. At 6 packs a day be sure to stock lots of juice.

 

[Balthezar]

Sounds like all we have done here in the last 12 (give or take) hours has paid off for you my friend. I'm really glad we could help you sort all this out, and Rob is really a super contribution to this forum. Good luck, and stick around, pass on some of your experiences to other new members (that's how I got such a high post count in such a short time, reading, learning, and experience, then passing it on to others). Looking forward to hearing how you are doing.

Thanks everyone and yes, 6 packs a day. I picked up the habit of chain smoking at my old job. I was a booth operator for a parking company for 8 hours 12am-8am in the morning I got about 20 customers a night (15-20 minutes of work) so the other 7 hours and 45 minutes was pure chain smoking.

Welcome! Be sure to get spare parts for any ecig you depend on. For an EPower I would recommend a spare switch as well as spare batteries. Super T Manufacturing is one good place to get batteries. And get plenty of eliquid for starting out - new vapers are the ones that run out. The mail runs slow these days too. And you may want to consider dabbling in DIY. I recommend juice high in PG and low in VG to let nicotine's TH through best (but some VG helps add nice vapor and buffer nicotine irritation). Drink plenty of fluids - vaping can be drying. And buy one bottle of juice that is lower nic in case you get any of the over-nicced symptoms like headache, rapid or irregular heartbeat, cold fingers, hazy ill feeling. And remember to smell the vapor. Cigs dump their smell all over you - you can't help smell them. But you have to remember to let your nose have some of the vapor.

If you go through a lot of juice and want to try DIY - the ECF DIY section (and one step up is the Eliquid recipes section).
Read the guide here which also contain lists of where to get flavorings and other useful info
DIY E-Liquid

And you can get starter kits for DIY at both OneStopDIYShop and DIYFlavorShack. Some people save a lot of money with DIY. Work your flavors out with small batches plain PG before making your real juices.

Even with this little gas station ecig I'm still getting nice clouds, I just drag til the auto-turn off and then do like a half french inhale/ghost then blow smoke rings. I'm sure I wont have a problem with the nic level, but if I do I could just order some lower leveled stuff as well.

Oh did anyone mention some of the symptoms you might get changing from analog to e-cig? If not, this might be informative.

Thanks, I'll read up on that later on.

BTW Dan - a couple of those sales I mentioned.

Sales -

V4L.com - 32% off with code TURKEY32 ends 11/25 11AM CDT (they may mean CST)
And all orders over $50 net receive a free new style V4L AC to USB adapter
(BTW their cartomizers are KR808D-1, and their juices good for cartomizers - thin and pretty clear, at least those I have gotten - my 2 every day juices are WOW juices)

Gourmet Vapor until Dec 10th - 50% off with code cindygetwell

And I recommend if you create your own flavors at GV, do others a favor and mark your flavors private unless one turns out well, then go back and make it public. Also be aware it can take weeks to get your GV order after a sale - everything is custom there and their sales are huge. My fave there is vanillarum (a customer creation)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, the vaping supplies I could buy with a 6 pack a day habit?

 

[BigFatDan]

@Dormouse Thanks again for the heads up and coupon codes!

@RedZone my cigarettes were rolled with a Premier Crank roller and Mint/Menthol Pipe Tobacco Mix. My average cost of cigs was $0.95 - $1.20 per pack.
