My husband and I are trying to get into this. I want to know the ease of use, comparison to regular cigs, and brand recomindations. Ive looked at the njoy and PureSmoker. I just want to know if its worth the trouble. Ive been smoking for about 6 years and my husband about the same. And with the refills on pure smoker not all of them come in all strenghts, why is that, thanks for any help!

go with puresmoker...get a dse901 mini or a penstyle...and some eliquid and spare atomiser and battery for whichever model you choose,because parts fail...

ecigs take some maintenance,but theyre much preferable to smoking...

as for the cartridge question...hes probably just low on stock...

I concur, puresmoker is a no-brainer. As for the stock, once he is out of something, it is reflected on the website, so you won't have to worry about back orders; what is there is what he has. He is pretty low on most items now, but I was told this week he is getting in some goods, so check back.

Steve is the guy from puresmoker, known as cashmere here. He is great about answering any question you have! His customer service is of superb quality.

sweetaddiction -

I recently bought a 901 from Steve at puresmoker to test with my wife. After about a week of trials, we decided that we could indeed use this to get off of analog cigs.

I just placed another order with Steve for some more equipment and some assorted fluids so we could go ahead and make the tranition for good. I even bought another 901 for my best freind because I want him to quit analog cigs as well.

Steve has a great attitude, his prices are reasonable, and he is very quick to respond to emails. I know there are other very reputable sellers on this forum as well. If you look around a bit, you should get a pretty good idea from whom to buy.

If you aren't sure about taking the leap to try this, buy a single kit and test it with your husband to determine how you feel about it. My first order was about $70 which is about the price of two cartons of analogs for me. I figured this was a reasonable price to give it a good testing before buying more equipment and supplies.

The carts last about 5 - 7 cigs (3 or 4 for me), but I top them off with the liquids that he sells. As far as strength goes, it is going to depend on you guys. Most people on this forum suggest to start off low and work your way up as needed. I didn't heed that advice and went straight for the 24mg strength liquid.

The order that I just placed with Steve had a lot of 36 mg liquids. The 24mg liquids just wasn't cutting it for me. I smoked ultralight analogs at about 1/2 pack per day or more. From what I understand though, the 36mg liquid is VERY strong and one should proceed with caution. I figure worst case scenario, I just thin the liquid with some weaker liquid if it winds up being too strong.

The Penstyle from Puresmoker or NJOY is the winner if you are looking for the longest battery and cartridge life. I tried this out thinking I would supplement without no intention of totally quitting. After I purchased the unit, I smoked it for 1 day, and never had another cigarette again--that was 2 months ago and I have no desire AT ALL to ever smoke a cigarette again from day one.--Best thing I ever did. Good Luck.
Consider buying blank cartridges as well and e-liquid to fill your own cartridges. Good Luck!!

Your best bet is to go with the small -10ml- bottles and get a low, medium, and fierce strengths each in a different flavor. Try those as they are and if you find that you like it stronger, mix some the lower strength with higher strength and vice-vera if you want it weaker.

On another note, don't go into this with the idea of quitting analogs (aka cigarettes) because just thinking about leaving such a large part of your life behind will be enough for most people to give up.

So I suggest you get a starter kit from Steve at puresmoker along with 2 extra atomizers and 2 extra batteries and the aforementioned juices and continue smoking while introducing yourself to vaping. Overtime, you will notice how disgusting cigarettes taste and the headache you get from smoking and then you will naturally smoke less and less analogs and vape more and more.

Plus, there is a learning curve to vaping, so having cigs around while working out the kinks will remove the stress from learning this new method of nicotine replacement! So if you forget to charge your batteries, or an atomizer goes out, you won't just throw it in the trash and give up; have a few cigs while it chrges up and keep with it!

Good suggestions to buy a few small bottles of juice and experiment. You need to "dial it in" for yourself, body chemistry is a weird thing...

I would say though, if you're considering extra batteries and atomizers (which you should be - never be without parts!) then I would recommend getting 2 starter kits instead. Slightly more money, but then you have the 2 extra batteries and a spare atomizer as well as a second charger. Chargers don't fail often, but unless you like to carry one around with you it's great to have more than one. I leave one at home and one at the office. If I've run through too many batteries without recharging, 2 chargers allow me to catch up. Plus, a few extra carts at the outset never hurts either :)

Good luck!

I have been trolling your forums for about a week and decided to join today. I just found out about these e-cigs about a week ago from a spot on AOTS. I really appreciate all the advice on here, it has been very helpful. I hate cigarettes but love the "act" of smoking and don't want to quit. This is like a dream come true for me. I will be placing my first order this week, and have emailed puresmoker a couple of times. They are very quick on answers and friendly. I looked at VaporNine, and they look the same as Puresmokers products, is there a difference? Also, I can not get liquids where I currently am (big desert), do you have to have liquid, or will cartridges work ok on their own?
Thank you for any help.

Whenever & Wherever you decide to purchase your e-cigarettes and accessaries, Don't go to Njoy. They charge Double or more for their equipment. From what I've been reading here, Puresmoker's Peewee is exactly the same as the Njoy Npro (which is what I use). I just placed an order for xtra atomizer for my Npro through puresmoker.

Welcome to the forum new members :)

There is a lot of good advice here. I'll just add that Njoy customers don't tend to be very happy about them.

This is a good thread for understanding the nicotine we are using - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/3598-nicotine-safety.html

Sensible people work out their level of tolerance and start off at a dose close to that. Make gradual adjustments up or down if that doesn't work for you. Please don't become one of our members with an overdose and hospital story.

This is the best thread for hints and tips - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/2562-helpful-links-videos-new-user.html
