I have been reading these forums for 4 HOURS here at work, and I am starting to think that I best just ask some questions before I get into trouble.
For starters, I am a person who picked up some "GreenCig" branded as a "Smoker Friendly" E-cig in Northern Colorado a few days ago to replace the Eclipse cigarettes (at 1+ packs per day), and it is ok.
I really want to try something that is a little more real than this as this $100 ticket item seems more like the K-Mart special after doing some research on experiences posted in these forums by others.
The problems with this GreenCig are as follows:
1. The menthol is "ok," but gives me a bit of a "sticky throat" or "cotton mouth" feeling (if that makes any sense).
2. If you try to use one of these the cartridges the day after opening them, they usually have very little vapor production, and sometimes can be kind of gross.
3. Occasionally, if you inhale to deeply on one of these, there will be a click and a sizzle on the inside of the cartridge and it will suddenly taste like melted plastic (uber-gross
)
4. Battery life sucks for the most part. Maybe an hour or so of sporadic, light inhalation?
5. Cartridge lasts maybe 1 day at best and only tastes good and gives you vapor worth noting for the first few puffs.
The good points:
1. I don't smoke regular cigs anymore (2 days now without one completely), but the urge is still there a little, and I didn't just switch cold turkey.
2. I can vape at work incognito by blowing the vapor under the desk and paying attention to passer-by's (don't want the attention in a government location that this could generate).
So, my main questions would be:
1. For an avid menthol smoker who would like to try a variety of flavors, is refill my only option, and if so, would this be a good start: electrojuice dot com. I am seeing some interesting reviews here stating that you can actually access the flavors unlike any other brand?
2. What about Blu or Volcano? I was going to go with Blu originally, but my impatience made me purchase from the local store.
3. What about the 510? If I were to go with the 510, what all would I need to get started? Is this what most people are talking about: www dot litecigusa dot net/product_p/joye510kit.htm ? I assume I would need liquid with that too...
4. What about time to deliver? I don't want to be left high and dry. I think I have 2 more cartridges which may last me until Monday, then I start on re-fries (again-yuck). I can always by another set, but this is running $20 every 4-5 days (4 cartridges). I thought this was supposed to be saving me money as well?
I don't want this to become a hobby of doing magical things for countless hours, and spending thousands of dollars to get this to work, I just want to vape...
I'm not coming to the arena as a cigar aficionado, or someone who would spend hours in his bedroom rolling tobacco, I am just looking for a way to replace my nasty addictive habit with one that is more palatable, and do it in a way that is enjoyable to me, and safer for my daughter.
So what I am trying to do is end hours of reading religious wars and people who are trying to turn this into a hobby by wrestling with trying to connect a smoke machine lined with 15 different liquids to a hookah, only to add some light saber action to it. I just want to cut straight to the chase for someone who was a heavy menthol cig user, and wants his fix
