First day smoke free

[thedragon]

I just recently bought a cheap "Super Cigarette" off ebay, and today was my first full day in 11 years that I have not lit a cigarette.

I sent an email to my co-workers yesterday in anticipation of the device arriving in the mail informing them of the device, and that if anyone was irritated by the smell or other things, to let me know. Before I head out the door this afternoon, I asked if anyone had any problems and no one had even noticed.

I'd already made up my mind yesterday that I preferred this to normal smoking, and decided to buy a better model. I've placed an order on e-smokeytreats for a DSE901b because it seems to be one of the most popular devices. So, I'm going to sell the Super Cigarette to a friend in hopes of converting another, and anxiously wait for my DSE901b to arrive in the mail!

This has been a really interesting experience so far, and I can already see myself going bonkers trying new devices and flavors. I want to thank everyone on the board for having such a wealth of information here which aided me in my decision.

On a kind of related note, how does everyone carry their e-smokes around, and what is a good USB charger for the 901?

I think those are the only two pressing questions I've run in to so far. I haven't gotten to try any alternative juices or e-liquids (What's the difference? Two terms for one thing, or no?) but I plan on trying it in the future.

I keep mine in my front pants pocket... Ad Ill send you a USB charger on the house if you let me know what your order number was.

Juice and liquid are exactly the same thing - the stuff that inevitably goes in to refill the e-cig cartridges or can be dripped directly on the atomiser.

Thanks so much for the awesome service, Phil.

So, you don't worry about the liquid dripping to the battery? I'd read that's a problem, so I've been really careful when carrying it around with me.

Dripping is a learned art. If you (almost) flood the atomizer, the juice can leak down into the battery. Sometimes, the juice will also leak through the air holes (on the inside-side) of the atomizer and make the outside of the battery wet.

I have learned to drip two drops (pen-style), and vape until I'm pretty sure I've used up most of the juice. I avoid storing the e-cig vertical as I find the juice more likely to run down to the battery (stupid gravity). If using a cartridge however, towards the end of the cart, you can leave the e-cig upright a little while and it will draw the juice in the top of the cart down.

I so far haven't lost any batteries to over-juicing, but if I suspect and leaking, I immediatly remove and dry off the battery and blow into the LED end to try and remove any excess juice. You can also blow out excessive juice from the atomizer (from the battery end). As I said, so far, so good.

btw, today... 2 MONTHS REAL-CIG FREE!!!!!!

I would recomend against dripping directly into the atomizer personally. Its to easy to flood it and possibly flood the battery as well. I personally just top up my cartridges, that way I know Im not going to flood anything and I dont wory about the liquid leaking in my pocket or anything like that.

I just got my DSE901b in the mail today from e-smokeytreats and I love it!

At first I was disappointed with the lack of throat hit and flavor, but it just needed to warm up a bit (and the apple seemed a bit too mild for my tastes) Now I'm on a strawberry cart, and it's fantastic! Such a sleek device.

Tomorrow I'll have my USB charger and my Johnson Creek e-smoker starter pack (really slick little package). I couldn't be happier with my introduction to e-smoking so far! Thanks again to everyone for their amazing amounts of information collected here.

Also, sorry phylo, I ordered Johnson Creek's fluid direct from them since they're 40 minutes away. What can I say? I'm impatient.

I really must say thank you so much to phylo for the amazing service through e-smokeytreats. I highly highly recommend them. It's been a pleasure to deal with you, Phil.

Also, day three without traditional tobacco nearly done.
