Hi all,
I'm Chris...Thought I would chime in finally as I've been lurking for a few weeks.
I heard about "e-cigs" one morning on the radio and thought this must be some telemarketing crap or else I would have heard about it before. I usually ignore these kind of things, but the thought of an electronic cigarette kept popping back into my head... about a month ago I starting looking into them and discovered they have been around for a few years... Why hadn't I heard of them before October of this year?
I was overwelmed by the different types and couldn't figure out what to order. I knew nothing about buying parts, so I ended up finding a site reviewing "brands". I read a few reviews and ordered a Safe Cig kit. Two days later I was at 7-11 and saw Njoy kits ($19.99) next to the regular cigarettes. Out of excitment, I snatched one up and a 5 pack (another $19.99) of menthol Cartomizers... I was not a menthol smoker, but did read that tabacco flavor was nasty. Anyway, I LOVED it! Within 3 days I considered myself an ex smoker for the first time in 20 years! Since I am only 33, smoking has been a huge part of my life. I've never really tried to quit because I enjoyed it toooo much and didn't intend on quitting when I started vaping either, I was just curious and wanted a way to smoke in my office and in my house. after 3 weeks, analogs smell nasty to me. I can't believe I used to smell like that.
Anyway, I prefer the small cig style PVs because they are compact and I don't care much about vapor production, just taste(especially) and throat hit... I don't mind charging batteries (I have 8 & a pass through).
My only MOD to date was cosmetic. I don't my PVs to look like analogs, so I started sanding all the white paint off the batteries (510autos & 4081 autos) so they are silver looking. I also removed the .... colored stickers from my cartomizers.
I am very interested in DIY flavors and have started doing little experiments. Can't wait to learn more from this group!
