I had never even heard of e-cigs, then about 4 years ago or so, I was walking through our large, local mall one day right before Christmas, and the owner of that mall had apparently decided he doesnt make enough money just leasing out mall space to all the stores there, so he decided to start leasing out space in the hallways as well. So all these vendors are filling up the center of the main hallway especially around Christmas, and they have their kiosks set up.
So we are walking amidst all these kiosks, with most of the sales people at these kiosks minding their own business and not bothering anyone, until we walked near this one kiosk, and this guy is literally walking right in front of people and blocking them as they try to walk by, and he sees us coming and walks up to us and asks "Do either of you smoke"? I usually quickly think of an answer to stop pushy salesmen cold, but this time I answered honestly and said "yes".
So he asks us to walk over to his kiosk, and he asks me which brand of cigs I smoke, and I answer "Newports, L&M menthol". So he starts fiddling with something at this desk, then he hands me what looks just like a cigarette, and says "try that". I looked at him and reminded him we werent allowed to smoke in the mall, and he assured me I wasnt smoking, so I took a drag, and blew out vapor, which I thought was smoke! It tasted a bit like a menthol cigarette, and I got a little throat hit too. I was impressed.
So I ask how much it costs, and he tells me that for a kit with approx 2 weeks supply of cartridges, it would be like $175. Once I heard that I walked away. I'm glad I did, because I wouldve gotten tired of that tiny kit with its tiny batteries in 2-3 days! But it was impressive especially since I had never seen any such thing.
After that, I didnt see or hear anything else about it for a few years, til I was looking at links to Li Ion batteries, and was linked to an e-cig store about 2 months ago, then I finally ordered my 1st Ego kit 1 month ago.
What was your first experience with e-cigs?

The sweet spot hit me when i found a very good all day juice... now im happy and it is safe to say that aalogs can kiss my ... forever! But then, as a guy, everything will become a hobby! just ordered a sampler pack, one apollo tank, one vivi-nova and still looking for a drip tip that will suit me... ha ha ha... But thank GOD in Malaysia we have very limited options and the stuffs are expensive... that will keep me away from ordering more stuff, at least till its pay day...
