Its very easy for a new vaporist to get peppered with knockoffs that give your first impressions of vaping a bad note.
I'm glad we just so happened to start with quality namebrand names before I got bait and switched with knockoff batteries I ordered from a vendor. Clearomizers is a good starting atty, they are cheap, easy to take apart and clean if you get the rebuildable ones, not the disposable ones and give you many learning experiences(leaking,dry hits, what ejuice does to a coil) and figure how to solve those problems.
Usually if the battery doesn't have a logo stamped somewhere then chances are its going to be a knockoff, just like most all ecig products is plagued with knockoff hardware. Our Ego smok batteries have "SMOK" stamped onto the bottom and they are still going strong but those knockoff ones I got are dying and soon to be DOA. I have to now pay twice since I thought I was getting a deal.
Joining co-ops is a good way to get quality, cool, nifty vaping tools. So get your 20 posts, verify yourself in this forum then score some great quality mods, tanks and just bout anything.
Unless your getting Dekang juices or from secondary vendors who warehouse the juices, your going to have to let the juice steep. Usually if the juice has no "Born Date" chances are its out of the box vapable. Ones that have born on dates are IMO best enjoyed after a month of steeping past that date.
Don't let some crappy knockoff vaping tools ruin your vaping experience...I smoked over pack a day for 35 years and dropped analogs like a bad habit the day we got our ego CE4 kits from thevapordepot and I fired up my first vape. I'll never smoke again and never quit vaping...just wheening off the nicotine Started out at 24 mg now almost 2 months vaping I'm going down to 18 and got some 0 nic juices for those late evening vaping so I can fall asleep easier. Nicotine is a stimulent so I trying to monitor my evening vapein intake of nicotine so I can fall asleep like I use to. This is my 3rd night now and it seems to be working..vaping 0 nic for fun and the the nic when I feel a nicfit comming on and have fallen asleep a lot better.
Some confuse nicotine overdose with withdrawl and its real easy to overdose nicotine.

I haven't read every post in this thread, so I don't know if it's been mentioned already.....

I've quit analogs, but feel as though I just substituted one nicotine delivery system for another. I do feel much better though and am very happy I made the switch. However, I feel as long as I have a dependency to nicotine I haven't truly quit. I'm working on it though.

Hi all. I'm pretty new to the forum but would just like to say this,

My friend, who had been a really heavy smoker for more than 17 years, gave up smoking when he switched to e-cigs and after less than a year, he has now completely quit both smoking and vaping. When he gave me his kit, he said, "Here. This is for you. Without the e-cigs, I would never have quit and now that I'm not vaping as well, I have no need of the kit."

And he's not the only one. Many other friends of mine has also quit smoking with the help of e-cigs.

I'm not looking to quit but reduce the amount I smoke daily and although it's only been a week I have reduced the amount I smoke from 60-70 sticks a day to 10 sticks.

Does it work? For me, it surely is working.

If ecigs are advertised as smoke cessation devices, the FDA will be able to jump in with their grubby little hands and require ecig vendors and manufacturers to jump through hoops to regulate them out of existence as medicinal products. Therefore, they must be advertised as Tobacco Harm Reduction, a way to cut down on cigarette smoking. If you cut out smoking all the way, that is great for you. So we must be sure and understand why they are not called smoking cessation devices or nicotine replacement therapy like the patches, chantix, gum, etc. Ecigs are not medicinal products.
