Hey everyone, I'm Rayder. I just bought and e-cig called a Fuma Electronic Cigarette (...::: FUMA International LLC :::...). The starter pack came with one battery, one charging unit with aUSB dongle, one regular flavor and one menthol atomizer. This pack cost $35 (US). I also bought a refill pack of 5 atomizers for $15.
I made a slight mistake when I registered, I didn't give props to sirlordwhitman as the referrer, since it was his YT vid ( YouTube - FUMA electronic cigarette REVIEW ) that pointed me towards this site. If the mods could maybe correct this little oversight and properly credit him with a referral +1, that would be great. Not sure how important such things are here, but I like to give credit where credit is due.
His review is pretty spot-on with my experience thus far.
It's been about 3 hours now since I smoked a real cig. I'm going to see how long I can go without a real (or "analog", as I understand it to be called) cig and only smoke the e-cig and see how it goes. But the problem is, I normally smoke nearly 1.5 packs per day. One atomizer is supposed to be roughly one pack of smokes. A pack of 5 atomizers is $15. This will yield me 3-5 days supply at best. At this rate, the unfortunate reality is that it is cheaper to just keep smoking real cigs....health issues notwithstanding. I can get a 1lb bag of tobacco for under $20 and get over 2 cartons of smokes out of it. The same amount would cost me over $100 with e-cigs. There has to be a less expensive way to use e-cigs.
I've read around the web a bit and noticed that this FUMA e-cig looks identical to ones they call KR808D-1 and DSE901 models. Are these generally considered decent e-cig models? I mean, it seems good to me now, but I've only had it a couple hours, so it's too soon to really make an informed opinion. Is there a cheaper way to refill, or maybe buy refillable atomizers as opposed to just throwing used ones away when they die and paying $15 for 5 new ones all the time? Because that's gonna add up quick.
I'd like to use e-cigs as a way to eventually quit cigs altogether, but really need to cut down the cost of the refills to make it practical. Any good tips, tricks and/or links would be appreciated.
