Ex Smoker and I don't want to start smoking real cigs again

[Drak]

I think the advice for the Volt is really good, I second that emotion.

What I was thinking about in your case was maybe the kind of juice you vape could/would influence you to not be seduced fully back into it again.

What I mean is if you got your E-Cig, stuck strictly to 0 nic juices, and never used tobacco flavored juices at all, sticking with the fruit flavors or dessert flavors only, may keep you one more step away from falling for nicotine again.

Just thinking out loud really...

Smoking an E-Cig with a strong tobacco flavor may ehhh, 'corrupt' you, haha!, where as if you stuck to flavors far removed from a tobacco flavor...may help somehow.

I think you're dancing with the devil regardless, but anything's better than an analog.

I would avoid the disposables for sure, and am in much agreement over the manual battery reccomendations. It's hard because you'll need to find one that suits YOU and all our advice will never match up to a few purchases and the feel of them - but that means dollardollarcashmoney

My reccomendation - avoid DSE901 and go for Riva/Ego/Volt if you want a thick juicy cloud of vapour. BUT the DSE901 is way cool and very simple - I just didn't like the weak vape and short battery life but I still reccomend it to people who smoke light cigarettes or don't smoke often at all. If you smoked a pack a day or more, or smoked strong (well I consider normal) cigarettes then the thick cloud of vapour is preferable to me.

Also, set yourself a realistic budget (save up whatever) and don't be dissuaded by the first model you try if it isn't right for you, go on and try another, and then another if your budget allows. You don't need to go crazy these things are relatively cheap IMHO, especially over in the states it looks like they work out a lot cheaper than here!

Finally, GOOD LUCK!!

Whoops, I forgot to say that! Strawberry flavour is my baby (my secret special super diy mix) - tobacco tastes AWFUL!

If it's going to prevent you from even trying one cig, I say go for it.

By the way, what is the difference between a manual and automatic battery?

I don't care what anybody else has told you, the correct answer is to get one of each to try them both.

Here's a great thread for you to read from someone that's going through the same thing.

Lots of food for thought. All your input is greatly appreciated. I'm not going to cave in just yet, but have a feeling I will give it a second try soon.

Ok, so I ordered the Volt with two 0 nic packs, one cowboy and one chocolate. I'll probably stare at he box for a few days or just keep it in the drawer for the day I decide that I just cant hold off. Thanks for all the help.
