Failed my first attempt w/ E-cigs... looking for advice

[zoiDman]

Well... I did both. I'm not rich but the money I spent is well worth it if it works for me. The Joye 510 just felt so WEAK. Maybe the combo of a better device, higher voltage & pg/nic level will finally be what I need. I had to do something... there are so many products, styles, strengths, etc, I found it to be overwhelming. I picked something that seemed to be pretty popular and just went with it. All I've been doing for the past 2-3 months is looking and searching but DOING nothing. Yesterday I said "Screw it - it's time to take action". If it's not right for me than I guess I'll have spent some money for nothing but at least I can say I gave it another try. AND... even if it doesn't work for me in 3 months, I've still have saved some money that I would have spent on analogs compared to what I spent trying to quit...

And I still say thanks to you zoiDman. Any input is great!

Good post...

If you tried the Higher PG and it's not getting you where you want to go, then Yes, try higher voltage.

What ever you decide on I would go with something that has a 510 thread on it. Gives you the Largest range of options for Attys/Cartos

I use a Provari and would recommend it to Anyone. It's pricey but as you mentioned, it is cheaper than buying cigarettes every month. You can also sell a Provari in about an hour here on the ECF if it doesn't work out for you.

Don't give up! I have the Joye 510-T (tank upgrade from the original Joye 510)...and I love it. You can actaully purchase and upgrade kit for your 510 to make it a 510-T. Also using LR atty will help with the TH (throat hit) and I have found a e-liquid "Throat Hit Plus" (I purchased at TheVaporPro) that you just add a few drops to your regular e-liquid/e-juice or cartridges and that helps to get a better TH. Another tip like I'm sure more have stated is up your nicotine level and use a higher PG/VG blend.
Good luck.

It looks like your generic 5 volt PT. And I'm sure you know to get true 5 volts, you will need to use a 5 volt/2 amp USB to AC wall adapter. The only problem with these PT, they are very cheaply made and break easily. The wires where they connect at the two ends especially. I've never had one last more than a couple of weeks. I would definitely wrap black electrical tape around where the wire joins the two connectors to try and make them last longer.

Well, that doesn't sound good.

I'm going to say it One Last Time.

Before the OP goes out and plunks down money on a Higher Voltage device, I think he/she should try Higher PG e-Liquids.

Have you seen this?

Not quite 5v but the price is right and you get a Free case.

You've tried this? How is it? I'd need a different AC adaptor and 3.0 cartos?

I agree, you should try higher voltage at least, the Provari, Darwin, there are many. Or try a juice fed like the Reo Mini or Grand or Ali'i, they will deliver what you are looking for.
