Y'ello,
After having lurked around the forum for nearly a month, I have finally decided to register in order to, hopefully, take part in the vaping community.
I've been cigarette-free for a little over a month now. I was a little-over-a-pack a day smoker (Camel Crush,) but haven't picked up a single cigarette since I began this whole vaping thing. Funnily enough, I was across the street from a cigarette store when I just randomly had an idea to see if they had some sort of e-cig set-up to try. It was entirely a lark, and it seems to have paid off.
Since all they had was a disposable single-use unit, I picked one up ( Square Smoke, menthol of course), and was blown away. I was so excited by the, what I now know to be a relatively underwhelming, experience, I got my .... online to find out information.
Of course, being a newbie, I was too much in a rush to figure out the right set-up for me, and just ordered a Blu. Pronto! When I finally got it, I was disgusted with their version of menthol, and was sorely disappointed with the kit altogether. It just wasn't my thing, I guess.
So then I got a Volcano Magma-T starter after hearing only good things about the company itself, and I decided I wanted to pick up a couple of the XL Clearomizer CE2s they were selling, too, along with 3 bottles of juice. Of course, with my luck, they sent me a cracked Tank-O-Mizer... It worked, and then just died after being extra careful to remove it in order to try a clearo. I'm guessing some wire or whatever got twisted, or something. I dunno. I was disappointed, again, to say the least. Especially since I still haven't gotten any response from their CS after many attempts. Luckily, I found the clearos to be satisfying in spite of the finicky batteries - just room-fogging amounts of vapor. The problem, for me, was the vapor was pretty cool, and the batteries! Ugh! You have to hold them a certain way, at a certain angle, for them to even turn on! Not a huge deal, but it was made more frustrating if only because I just wanted something to be reliable! By that time, vaping was seeing very hit or miss. It just seemed like I was destined to not luck out with something that could just work. (Which is funny since I normally LOVE making hobbies out of tinkering with things.)
That 510 handled me long enough in order to buy a couple of KR808s and some juice from V4L. Those blew me away. So I figured I'd give the Volt from Smokeless Image a try since it seemed to be another good Kr8 set-up people were recommending to others. I bought the Premium Kit because of the 23% sale, and wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to miss out on anything that might make me finally stop looking for some other gear.
And I'm so glad I did! Wow. I got the Sweet Sampler, and the menthol, and every single one is just spectacular - something I wasn't expecting since the V4L's versions had given me a lot of doubt as to whether I was going to find good fruit flavors from somewhere other than Volcano. But, lo and behold, I couldn't be happier. The only thing I have found annoying is that one of the two batteries I received, for some reason, seems to have only a 3-second cut off time, and a flickery light. If only it had the cutoff that my other love, the Diamond Titan from V4L, gives me - I've never reached it, haha. But alas, the two different batteries are great in different ways.
If you've gotten this far into my post, I have a question hopefully someone can answer. Is that 3 second cutoff normal for the Volt? It's the only thing bothering me. It doesn't seem to me that it should be the case since the other one I received allows nearly twice the time for a pull. And, yes, I have actually timed it with a stopwatch since I thought I was just being "imaginative"/paranoid. I'd rather not have to get a manual, but I will if I need to the next time I want to pick up some cartos.
Thanks for reading! I'm sorry for this being too long - I don't normally post on forums so I'm kind of rusty at the art of being concise - especially when I'm able to sit here and type while vaping with my new pass-through! Yay!
