Hello Vapors!
Just wanted to make my first post and thank everyone for the wealth of knowledge I have gained here. I read through the forums for several days before deciding to purchase my Ultimate Manual Kit from V4L.
I read tons of reviews about 510s, 801s, 901s, GreenCig, etc. and it sounded like the VK was the best for me. I smoke 1 pack/day of Pall Mall Lights and tried the Smoke Stik at the American Royal BBQ Competition in Kansas City last weekend. I had heard of e-cigs before but never tried one and after trying it out, think I might like it. After extensive research and tasting the Smoke Stik, I concluded that it was too sweet for my taste, and I didn't like the automatic battery and "starter" puff.
I'd love to go from analogs to completely vaping because quite frankly I'm tired of smelling like smoke, having bad breath, and the overall mess of ashtrays, butts, etc.
My biggest concern in switching however has been the expensive, battery life, and flavor. Here in Missouri I can buy a carton of my current smokes for $32 after tax. At one pack/day these last about a week and a half or so, but reading on the forum it looks like it may cost more with an e-cig. I realize my health and quality of life is more important than money, but being a college student, I'm strapped for cash! I don't particularly care to use the liquids and refill, but would rather just through another cartomizer on and keep puffing.
My second concern was the battery life, and hopefully I will be able to make it through most of the day on a single battery such that I won't be carrying around a bunch of extra parts (i.e.-batteries, cartomizers, etc).
And my final concern is flavor. I enjoy my cigarettes and would like to get something as close to the flavor of analogs as possible. I smoke a Black & Mild cigar on occasion, or something similar with a bitter/bland taste, but am not really into sweet flavors of cigars like peach, grape, apple, etc. When I tried the Smoke Stik, their flavor just seemed to sweet for me
and that is what got me looking here on the forum. Boy am I glad I did!
So in conclusion, a short hello has turned into quite a lengthy post. I hope to receive my VK soon and with any luck will enjoy it and put down the analog cigarettes. I hope to breath healthy again soon! Hope to hear from others and will continue to read the forum and get to know each and every one of you! Good day.
