Considering vaping...

[kirby]

Hello all!

First of all, I have to say congrats. I've been poking around the forum for a couple days and it seems to be a great little community. Where are all the a-holes???

Anyway, I am considering vaping. I am looking pretty strongly at the Volcano/Blu starter kits. I love that carrying case and it seems a very reasonable kit from my lookings.

Now here is why I am considering vaping and not just doing it... I quit smoking cigarettes 4.5 years ago. I really enjoyed ALL aspects about smoking.... well, except the health and smell issues. Still all this time later I miss the taste of tobacco. And these Volcano's look like a miracle to me.

I like the fact they are based in the USA. While this doesn't mean they are made there, not sure where, it does ease ones mind about the quality of the carts. And they can contain no nicotine... So what's not to love?

I am not looking to become reacquainted with nicotine, just the flavor of tobacco on those stressful days in my stupid cube when I want a drag the most... And maybe a bit more often.

Oh, and first post.

I had quit for 3 months i dident feel the need for nicotine but still kinda wanted to smoke but vaping fix's that i use 0mg hand made juices.

Please dont use nic.

no nicotine juice works well for people who have been able to stop for a few months or more i think.

Good for you, Kirby! Bet it's going to be a breeze for you to vape zero nicotine after quitting years ago and staying quit. You'll have a great time with flavors -- although you're probably saying that you don't want a "flavor", just the tobacco flavor. I said that, and I was dead wrong.

BTW I quit, not because I wanted to, but because the landlord would evict me and tie me to a railroad track now that the building has a total smoking ban. This was not the best incentive, so I'm ultra grateful to ECF and e-cigs.

@opyrus, good call on just using the juices! It seems 0mg really isn't that popular.... yet.

@keyzgirl, I have no intention of going back to nicotine. Seeing my then gf now wife break down crying was all the help quitting I needed. I'll never do that to a love one again. Oh... and hope you don't smell the oil where you are...

Once you start vaping, you will love the flavors. I thought I wouldn't like flavors but I vape flavors more than I do menthol.

Nice to see someone from Joliet, IL sign up. I grew up in Joliet. Ridgewood to be exact. Class of 94 Joliet Central.

@marlise, The flavors do interest me too! I used to love Camels Turkish Gold. I always thought it had a hint of vanilla in it.

@laborer75, drove past JCA just an hour ago on the way home!

DO not get the blu cig. The best is the Joye 510. Mimmics an analog and looks similar. atomizers and batteries will last longer. you may want to try the titan tornado. Just depends on how much you can afford. Either of these will save you in the long run. You may want to try looking at Totally wicked.com .I started Ecigs 1 yr ago and have not smoked one cigarette since I started. I tried the blu cig (cost in long run much higher) the 901( didn't like the way it smoked and then the Joye 510. Now I use either the dse 905which uses rechargable batteries or the tornado for longer battery life. You may want to get the mega batteries if you decide to go with the Joye 510. the battery lasts longer in between charges.

@sleepwalker, the 510 may be the crowd favorite but its not priced well for the newbie. I may not like vaping.... doubtful, but maybe! And I'm not going with Blu. As soon as I get my wife to understand there is no tobacco or niccotine, I'm ordering! Yes, I know propylene glycol is there and its effects.

@keyzygirl, best of luck. I used to work for BP... lets just say this accident isn't really a surprise...
