Hi all, and Happy New Year!
I'm brand new here, and having spent hours upon hours wading through the collected wisdom, I know this forum is the right place to turn for help choosing my first kit. I am sure every addicted analog smoker thinks his or her own proclivities are much more relevant than is certainly the case, but forgive my newbie neurosis just this once.
I smoke Marlboro Smooths to the tune of about six to ten a day, and I draw quite lightly -- not hard enough to trigger reliably the automatic battery on the one e-cig I've ever tried (a demo at a mall kiosk). I know this makes me sound like I'm hardly a smoker at all, but believe me, I *need* them when I smoke them. I don't, however, like the taste of tobacco or the feel of a cigarette in my hand, and I won't be wanting to recapture the "authentic" cigarette experience. Just the nicotine, please
I'm a social smoker. Smoking cigarettes with my husband gives us time to chat, check in, reconnect, and take a break together during the evenings. I have, as a result, a vested interest in keeping a similar pace vaping as smoking cigarettes. The habit of smoking with others has proven to me in the past to be almost impossible to break.
As for size/form factor/etc., I'm adventurous -- with reservations. I would like to avoid having to carry a thousand little gizmos or an enormous rig around with me during the day, as I don't carry a purse and have limited pocket space (grrr women's pants with their impractically tiny storage). Since I have only one or two cigarettes outside of the house each day, it's simply untenable to make a major production of it.
The final consideration in making my choice is a funny one, I think: I'm a gadgethead through and through, and am reasonably sure that my success in switching to e-cigarettes will come from choosing a suitably "awesome" device. I have some money (up to $200) to spend and I'm nervous about wasting it on low-end or starter merchandise when it's the fancy stuff that really gets me excited about switching over.
I would be delighted to hear suggestions! I'm thrilled to be finally ready to make this transition. Thank you for this fabulous forum.
Warmly,
Lill

...make sure you also order some cartomizers. Cartridges don't seem to cut it for many new vapers.
