Hello All,

I have decided I want to try out vaping. My primary motivation is that I have purchased a new house and I don't want it to start smelling like smoke. I'm a moderate to heavy smoker, about a pack and a half a day, and usually go for Camel Turkish Royals, Camel Frost (although they seem to have been discontinued and I can't find them anywhere) or Camel Crush (sometimes you feel like menthol, sometimes you don't). I'm also a bit of a musician and, sadly, having gotten out of practice, was saddened to find out how much shorter of breath I have become when I dusted off my tuba the other day, so I would like to let me lungs start to heal and if I understand things, these e-cigs will allow me to do that.

I've never been satisfied with light cigs, and I plan on using my e-cig primarily at home (at least until I know if I like it or not, I might switch to one for work as well if it does the trick).

After reading a lot of posts and the new user guides I think I have settled on getting a Prodigy V2 with the 510 adapter and the variety pack sampler of juice from puresmoker, at least to get started. I do have some questions though -

1. How do I decide between the 901, 801, and 510 adapter? It seems to be the consensus is that the 510 gives the most satisfying flavor and throat hit, so that is my choice, but are there other factors?

2. Should I start with a 5v device like the Prodigy? Everyone seems to rave that the 5v devices give superior flavor, vapor, and throat hit, and I don't want to waste money on a 3.7 volt only to have to upgrade later on, but at the same time I don't know if I will be overwhelmed by starting with a 5v.

3. From all the reviews and videos I've seen, it looks like the only way to add juice to the Prodigy is via dripping, is this the case, or can you fill and use carts as well? Are three or four drips sufficient to give the same number of drags as a traditional cigarette?

I would love to hear any feedback or suggestions that anyone could give me. This site is a wealth of information, and hopefully I can contribute soon in the future. Thanks.

I'd recommend getting a basic 510 kit to make sure you like it before going for a HV or battery mod. cignot.com can probably have a cheap NO BOX kit to your door by Saturday or Monday. If you think that you might use it away from home, go for a bundle with the PCC included.

Might cost a few bucks more in the long run if you move on to a 5v mod, but the odds are good that you have friends that smoke and wish they could quit too. I've been vaping for like 10 days now and my first PV is already out on loan to a potential convert.

I would definitely buy a starter kit first before splashing out on a mod.

Read up on the 2 piece KR808D-1, and the 3-piece 510, then see which one sounds like it floats your boat more. hey are the 2 most popular models.

If you do decide to get a mod you can get all kinds of adaptors so even if you get lazy you can fill your own cartomizers and just screw them on and vape without messing with other stuff.

Well, I took the plunge and ordered the Prodigy V2, a spare 510 atomizer, and the CaSH sampler pack of e-liquid in 24mg strength, total was just over $140 with free shipping.

I thank you for your replies and I read up more on the 510 and the other minis but in the end, it looked like too many people bought them and ended up just upgrading to bigger models. Also, I know myself and how I think, as long as I know there is something better out there, I will never let myself be satisfied with going with the basic model, whether it would work for me or not. The seven day free trial puresmoker offers pretty much put my mind at ease though, if I don't like it, I can always send it back.

Anywho, I'm hoping I get my oder in a couple days, because now I am getting pretty excited.

I'm a little late but I'm very impatient waiting for my first e-cig too. I ordered a 510 starter from cignot and I have probably checked the track and confirm at usps 10 times in the last couple of days but it was finally processed through the postal facility tonight at 8.?? pm so it looks like tomorrow my wait is over.:rolleyes:
