Dropping by to say Hello

[NetteG]

Hello all - Newbie here to the e-cigarette world ... my husband and I have tried 3 different types in the past 3 weeks. Started with the V2 after reading some reviews and feeling the need to having something that at least looked similar to a cigarette ... needless to say, it didn't really work for either of us and the PG formula seemed to "set heavy", which after reading about others symptoms closely resemble what we were feeling.

So onto the next, decided to again stick with something similar the look and feel of a real ciggie and went with ProSmoke. VG based formula in their carts, most reviews seemed to be happy with it, etc etc etc. Nope, that one didn't do it for us either ... the flavors really seem to run out quickly in the pre-filled carts and it just didn't give that "rush" of a feeling as we just smoked ......

Again, to find another ... I had personally been reading all along about the Johnson Creek Smoke Juices and the flavors to me sounded like something my husband and I could both live with and reviews were good and then I see the VEA just released. Before buying though, I started looking around to see what else was out there ... WOW! How much confusion can one person possibly have and how much information to take in all at once. We knew we wanted to stop smoking as soon as possible, so we went with the VEA system and some of the smoke juice ... This past weekend was the first weekend with the new vaping system and we both only smoked 5 tobacco cigs the entire weekend. (4 on Saturday and 1 Sunday) ... By Monday morning, we both felt we didn't even need to smoke any more at all ... pretty amazing. I love the juice they have and the fact it's made in the US makes me feel even better. Truthfully, that is why I went with the VEA in the first place ... it was all in one order, one spot and was easy to say the least ... not to mention, I could get everything in 2 days time.

But now I have found this forum and OH EMMMM GEEEEEE ... I feel like my husband and I need to order a few "backups" shall we say. HA! I can't believe all the options out here and all the flavors and well, just everything ... I have to admit it is very overwhelming, and with some of the stories I see and have read/heard about ... can be a bit scary as well, with batteries going bad or exploding or whatever else ... but with all that said, at least my husband and I have been tobacco free since Monday (3 days and counting).

Well, onto reading more information, sorry for the novelette and I am in no way saying one product is better than another, I just know what has worked for my husband and I so far and we both couldn't be happier. Thanks for having this forum and sharing so much information ... I can't wait to try a few other products to ensure we keep vaping instead of smoking.

Congrats and welcome

Just a note: to avoid the "scary" of exploding batteries, for now, just avoid any APV that has two stacked batteries. That should keep you safe until you're more familiar with the new territory. (and of course, read, read, read)

Here's was what I was told you are no longer smoking your vaping so you don't need something that looks like a cigarette. Id suggest getting an American made battery mod. Provari from provape is hands down the best but your going to pay for quality. The Joker from Vaporlife, The Buzz Pro from notcigs, Get you a couple of atomizers some cartomizers and a tank, Youll never look back you think why did I waste my time on those wimpy cigarette looking things. Lots of people like the ego twist but for 1 its disposable 2nd its Chinese made. Get you an American made its much better quality you have product support. There's tons of info on youtube I have several videos buzzzlove00. Good luck and welcome!!!!!!

Your VEAs appear to be an eGo type clone which would mean 510 threading and a world of possibilities. If you're enjoying JC liquids, then it's probably advisable to stay with them (for now). For backups, all you need are a couple of extra eGo batteries from reputable dealers. That will keep you safe from failure for the moment. Don't worry about staying with one supplier for both your hardware and liquidware needs. Sometimes the two aren't necessarily found in the same place. Pick up enough liquid from JC to keep you going for a few days and try some sample packs from other places. (all of the really reputable places will be listed in the ECF supporters area).

Just winging it here, but it seems the best way for you to go at the moment is to keep it simple. You'll have years of smoke free pleasure ahead of you to get complicated and as always, the latest greatest new toy is going to arrive.... tomorrow. And sometimes, it's worth the wait (although I'm probably the only person in this whole forum who can actually wait for anything).
