Finally one I can LOVE!!

[Samie]

Hey all,

I know my join date is 4/2010, but this is my first post!! I found ECF when I was researching e-cigs 2 years ago. Unfortunately, I went with something I don't remember the name of and Blu. I hated them. My husband got one too and hated it. We didn't use them for very long at all. We didn't quit either for a long time. Towards the end of 2010 we managed to quit with the patches but it only lasted about 9 months.

I got a wild hair and decided that I didn't want to smoke anymore, but that i'm not ready to quit completely. I still need the act of smoking for sure. So I started researching and reading (and reading and reading) posts on here. I came to the decision that I should try the ego-c for my first "real" vaping experience.

I got it in last night and WOW!! So much better than those nasty blu's!! Just today I went from smoking 10-14 analogs a day to 2 today!!! I can't believe how much it helps!! I want an analog pretty bad, but the ego works well enough to take care of it.

I ordered a couple clearomizers and DCT from litecigusa (and different juice) and I can't wait for them to get here!! It seems from posts that they have better taste and vapor. I really wanted the Vision EgO transparent Clear-o-mizer but they are out of stock!! Eventually....

Happy to be quitting!!

Well done!!!! So glad that you decided to give this another chance. Hopefully both you and hubby will be free of the ball and chain of analogs this time. Better equipment makes all the difference.

Going from 10-14 to 2 analogs is quite an accomplishment all by itself. Congrats!

Congratulations, there is nothing better than finding a PV that works and does what you need it to.

Welcome to ECF.

If you still have bad cravings with the ecig, up the strength of your nic juice and that should get the cravings under control. Also, be sure to drink lots of water, more than you think you need. vaping is dehydrating. Water will help with the cravings and will help flush the cig toxins out of your system, AND make your eliquids taste better.

Congratulations on your wise choice. Hopefully your husband will follow when he sees how happy you are with it. Welcome (back) to the forum!

Thanks for the tips!! I'm liking 11mg right now. I have 16mg also but the TH is to much. Makes me cough, but I do use it when the cravings are bad.

Why does vaping dehydrate you? I can see the amount respiration might contribute, but not anymore than smoking I'd think. I'll definitely up my water though!! Thanks again!

Wonderful stuff. Stick with it, and don't forget to treat yourself to something nice with the money you save. There's so many helpful people at ECF who will be more than happy to help make your vaping experience the best it can be.

Welcome back and keep on vaping.

Vaping dehydrates you because PG and VG are both Hygroscopic substances

hello samara, i to just got back into vaping. just got the ego c not to long ago. i must say am pretty happy with this system. i got a good 8 + hours out of one battery today.still needs some cleaning from time to time but still less of a hassle then the older generation ecigs.

Hello!...Welcome to ECF!

 

[cactusgirl]

Hi there and welcome (back)!!! Glad you decided to give it another try...ecigs have a very long way in the two years since you last tried it!

 

[dearme]

The non technical answer is that the vapor you see is water drawn from your body.....That's not strictly true, but close.......LOL

PS.......To tone down the harsh throat hit, you could run to Walmart or a pharmacy and pick up a bottle of VG (Vegetable Glycerin). It's usually by the alcohol and the brand will most likely be Humco, 6 oz for about 3.00. It's USP so it's fine to use. Put a drop or two in your eliquid. It will mute the flavor a little, but should be still vaporable. Use a small bottle to mix in in case you don't like the results.

Congrats on finding the one for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME! Good for you and the hubby...

Depending on what you smoked before "lights" or REDS.

24mg roughly can replace the nic fix a Marlboro Red smoker needs from vaping.
18mg roughly can replace the nic fix a Marlboro Medium smoker needs from vaping.
12mg roughly can replace the nic fix a Marlboro Light smoker needs from vaping.
and
I have read Ultra-light is 6mg

Once you get the nic level right, you will NOT crave cigs. Guaranteed.

Cheers!

Glad to hear you came across a good one. I can relate. My first ecig was called Smoke to Live I bought at the mall. Huge mistake - terrible experience. I vape with a basic 510 now, but also found that a quality ecig makes a world of difference
