I have known for some time that a large part of smoking for me is the habit, as opposed to the addiction to nicotine. So, when I first heard of the e-cigarette, I was interested. No tar, no flame, no ashes, no butts, no tobacco, but all the nicotine to satisfy the cravings. They seemed to eliminate the harmful aspects of smoking, yet maintain the habit, the "ritual" of cigarette smoking, the need to do something with my hands, etc. I could "smoke" without smoking.
After considerable research, I ordered a DSE901 and cartridges from LiteCig USA, and atomizers and juice from PureSmoker. The order with the DSE901 arrived yesterday, so I immediately put the second battery on charge and started examining my new gadget, and discovered the battery had a charge. Also, a cartridge was installed, rather than a bare mouth piece, as if it had been "used", but I figured it was a result of testing before shipment.
After a few attempts, I discovered how to get vapor, and there was plenty of it, however I was surprized when I tried to inhale and triggered a coughing fit, much like when I first attempted smoking so many years ago. So I switched to the "no" strength cartridge that came with it, thinking maybe I was getting too much nicotine.
No noticable change, and I still got the gurgling I had experienced previously, and I was getting juice with the vapor. I removed the atomizer and blew out a drop or two of juice, and re-assembled the ecig. Re-assembly broke loose the brass fitting from the wall of the atomiser and I broke one of the connections, rendering the atomizer useless. I guess I'll need to return the faulty atomizer, but fortunately I have 2 coming from PureSmoker.
So, my first experience was dissappointing, but I prepared for equipment failures by ordering extra atomizers.
BTW: The gurgling is still there.
Questions ....
Is this gurgling normal?
Is it normal to have trouble inhaling the vapor?
