In my happy place
COPD, as I said in the PM you sent me regarding the esmart clearamizers I would take Mohamed up on the offer. The beefier set up would serve you more and it is something you can build on rather something that you could get by with. Most people start with the cigalike batteries; which your 808 is one, and move up to the eGo type.

I don't normally do this but in your case with your health bills etc. PM me and I'll send you my ego and usb wall charger. I only use them say 10% of the time so it's not a big deal on my end. I use my passthrough, vamo, gripper etc most of the time anyway so it's not hurting me anyway. I feel like it's time for me to help others and am glad to do so.

I just PM'd you back but so that others know. It isn't hurting me that much. I have 4 ego batteries, a vamo v3, a gripper, a usb/battery passthrough etc. So giving out 2 batteries, usb/wall charger, 1 tank, and maybe a 30 ml bottle of juice depending on if COPD likes the flavor and nic level I have isn't hurting me too bad. 90% of the time I'm using something other than my ego batteries I got with my starter kit anyway.

I view it as a pay it forward type of deal.

You'll be getting my genuine joytech ego starter batteries...they aren't VV but I've been wanting to buy a few of something like these New Ego C Twist CE5 1100mAh VV Vape Vaporizer Pen Starter Kit Clearomizer | eBay just to give to new vapors to get their foot in the door and see if it will even work for them. In all honesty I would suggest a cheap VV device as opposed to my genuine joytech ego-c batteries for new people anyway. I really like the VV (variable voltage) aspect.

Anyway it's no problem and glad to help someone get started.

BTW I'll give you some pics of what I'm sending when I get home. There is a knife mark at the bottom of each one with a \ and one with /. I originally did that so that I knew which was which. A later used a label maker and put a E1 and an E2 on them to further clarify which was which. The one marked with E1 or the \ is bit more used and doesn't seem to hold charge quite as long as the one marked with E2 or / one...but still lasts about 8 hours with moderate use.

Not sure if you can even see it but the knife slash / is barely even noticeable...it's in the lower right hand corner of the 2nd pic...like I said not really even noticable and not sure if the focus of the camera helps that in any way. You can also see the E1 label I was talking about. That should just peal off if you don't like it. I just used it like I said so I knew which was which.

lol...and eventually you'll want to upgrade to a VV device such as MVP2 or Vamo...and then you'll want a provaria...and then...and then ;) I started with an eblu very similar to your cig-a-like that you have. Nothing wrong with them for starters. It got my foot in the door and still use them from time to time.

FYI I've been fortunate enough to find a new job where I'm getting approx same benefits but about 50% bump in income. So I was feeling more generous than normal ;) For an old geezer like myself this was an amazing job opportunity and even though it's only a 3 year contract job I could not turn it down. In case you are interested this thread has a little more details http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...mployeer-how-approach-existing-employeer.html

Not to get political but I know some say the "trickle down economics" is nonsense...but whenever I get paid more I tend to give more out. Paying nephew to mow lawn is an example. I got a pay raise back then and figured I'm getting too old to mow so I'll just pass that forward to nephew who needs the money more than I do. He wastes it on video games, movies, and ipad games but that's his choice on how to spend the new income ;)

You sure are a sweet person! :) We need more like you.

BTW. I LOVE my Vamo. More than my Provari. :) I went backwards. Purchases the Pro first, then the Vamo for a backup. Now I don't even use the Provari.

LOL! Don't worry about the pics. I'll love them no matter what they are! And if you ever need a new line of work, you could get a CDL and run with me :)

You a truck driver? Never would have guessed that from your profile pic ;) I only like driving during the sunlight hours...at night I can't see very well. Not sure I could deal with the long term borden either. I mean AM radio is only going to entertain me for so long before I get antsy. I like to stop every 2 hours and stretch the legs out on long trips anyway ;)

Hopefully these pics will take this time just reposting the same ones but using the "Insert Image" button...maybe that was my problem? Not sure how I did it before?

I love my vamo as well. Not exactly a stealthy mod so don't use it much outside the home. I did drop it when I was on a Cruise a month ago and the 510 threading got screwed up. I used some needle tip plyers to squeeze the threading back into place and luckily that fixed my threading issue. But yeah for a VV/VW device that's about as cheap as they come. And worth every cent in my opinion. MVP2 would by next suggestion for a VV/VW device if you like the box style instead of the pen style.

Thanks for the compliment! When I'm on the road, I don't have time/place for that kind of hair/makeup. I look like this when I'm working Face_22.jpg

Satellite radio (old time radio classics, like The Shadow, Fibber McGee & Molly, etc.) used to keep me entertained for hours. Book radio too.

Anyway, these pics look wonderful! I'm so excited! I'll get an address to you tomorrow - even if it's my doctor's office!

Yeah that looks more like the truck driver I was expecting ;) I'd keep your current profile pic ;)

They have a lot of books on audio/cd's now...that might help with the boredom as well. My nephew read all of the Hunger Game books and I ordered those in audio format just so that we would have something in common to talk about. They now have two movies out and one more coming. I take him to those and get popcorn and treats. I don't have kids of my own so nephew and niece are the next best thing and I tend to spoil them from time to time. My niece seems to like to go grocery shopping with me and I think the only reason is I allow her to get bag of candy or some other treat she finds each time. Ohh well I don't mind bribing them to get some quality time...but now I am getting side tracked and digressing quite a bit. You'll find that I do that from time to time on posts.

Thought I'd throw my PM in here in case anyone wants to add to comments. Didn't include any personal info so all is good ;)

I'll try to get it sent out on Saturday...maybe Monday? Just going to use standard USPS shipping so with forwarding and all of that not sure when it will arrive...maybe a week? I'll let you know when I send it and will post some pics. I'm thinking I'll also be sending you one of these Empty Tobacco Oil Needle Tip Cap Bottle For Electronic Cigarette 10mL - US$1.19 I think I ordered 5 from FastTech 6 months ago for about 70 cents each. They make refilling your cartomizers (the top part of your current gas station cig-a-like) much easier. I also use them to fill up my tanks. I don't know I just find it easier to use that then the eye dropper type bottle they send...a little more precision.

I think you said you liked fruit type flavors so I may send you a half a bottle of either watermelon and redbull flavor. I think those are 24mg / ml so may be a bit high for you let me know if you don't want me to send this.

Other than that I'll send my two ego batteries and a tank. I generally don't do it but some people clean the tank with a rubbing alcohol or everclear solution before use. I'm going to send you an unused already sealed in plastic tank but some still clean before use. You get some that give you a weird flavor if not cleaned before use. Google that or ask on ECF if you have concerns or questions about that.

Other than that you'll probably want to order another tank or two. Just so that you have backups and have different flavors to use during the day. I also generally buy 5 attomizers for a given tank that I purchase. They can go bad in 2 days - 2 weeks - 2 months or not even work out of the box ;) Those are things that heat the liquid up into a vapor. They go bad from time to time so you want backups. I'll have to check my current situation when I get home and figure out if I can throw 1-2 extras of these in for you...depending on which tank I have unopened and presealed in plastic.

Somewhere on top of the world
I drive an 18wheeler for a living, and I'm a chain smoker. But last December I suddenly and unexpectedly went into respiratory failure and had to be hospitalized (via ambulance - whole story is at http://mytruckalogue.blogspot.com/). I've got to quit, but it isn't going to be easy.

I need something that will gradually let me quit, so maybe 3-4 drags at a time would be a good thing?

I just can't spend a lot of money right now, so I want to be careful what I buy - make good investments, etc.

I noticed you are ordering 0 nic. There's nothing wrong with that at all, I'm just wanting to know why you decided you didn't want nic content. Are you still smoking regular cigarettes and if so I'm thinking a little bit of nic in your juice might decrease your analog use a bit and also make it easier with your cravings. Like I said though, if 0 nic is working for you no worries..

EDIT: Sorry, I just read ALL the posts and I see your wearing the patch.. Makes more sense to me now.... Have you had good luck with the patch so far?

Scroll back a few pages and she answered. I was wondering the same thing. She's getting patches from hospital/doctor for free. You can't beat free. I think she is looking at nic liquid for future options. But for time being going with the free route.

Only thing I can personally add to this is they need a step 1.5 assides from a step 1 and a step 2 and. When I dropped from step 1 to step 2 with the patch I lost it and started smoking again. With vaping you can either vape more or less nic like you do with a cig depending on situation, mood, etc.
