Hello all, I just ordered a premium starter kit from south beach smoke . com Anyone here have any insight on these kits?? After finding this forum, I really wish I would of ordered a joye 510 kit instead, but hey I already ordered. Also any info on the 510 kit would be appreciated also. Oh a little background on myself, a pack a day smoker for 10 years, looking a an alternative to smoking!!!

Well, if you read the terms and conditions, they're hitting you for $41.84 every month for a "30-day supply"... this is the first BRF (big red flag) of a scam. Next is the "1 cartridge = 1 pack of cigarettes" BS... second BRF. It looks like a super-mini, so one cart is probably closer to 4 cigs than 20. Going for the trifecta, nowhere do they mention how many batteries you will receive. I'll give you 20-1 odds it's ONE. Plus a wall charger and it looks like 15 cartos. All for the low, low price of $129... but wait, it's a special offer! Order now for a mere $29.95!

Do yourself a favor... open NOTHING... and read the fine print in the "Terms and Conditions". Send it back, and be prepared for the Mother of all Battles to get them to stop charging your card every month.

Then go to Cignot or Madvapes or Vaporjunction or one of the other reputable vendors you read about here, and get a 510, KR808, Ego, Riva, or something else that gets good reviews :)

I know you're really wanting to start vaping... but trust me, you'll be happier in the long run if you wait an extra week before you get started & start with something that is good and not overpriced.

I second that sage, sage advice. It's not worth even opening the box -- send it back and stop the subscription. I know it sucks to have to wait for the awesomeness of e-cigs, but sometimes the best things are worth the wait.

Whew! Lucky you... now just make sure to do EXACTLY as specified in the T&C so they have no "out" on not giving you your $60 back on the return. Good luck.

In the meantime, a very basic 510 kit from Cignot will set you back $35. Add in several small bottles of juice (like 9 for $27) to get you over $60, and shipping is free. That'll give you about 45ml in multiple flavors (I suggest trying a mix of 18mg and 24mg, too) to try, at LEAST 2 weeks worth... and on a really good, genuine Joye ecig. From there you'll have a better idea of what you really really want, in an ecig and also in flavors and strengths.

Joye 510 NO BOX

Lots of other really good vendors will have "starter" stuff that's comparable... shop around & have fun with it!

yet more sage, sage advice.... do it.

Good Luck!
 
a few more questions, what level of nicotine should I use, I smoke marlboro menthol lites daily, should I go with the medium strength? Also anyone know of a good menthol juice? I think I will just stick to menthol juices to start as I think it will help me kick the smoking habit quicker, after that I am open to all flavors. Also I don't want the dizziness buzz of nicotine, so I don't want to over do it.

Good advice from hiram. Plus they only sell "auto" mini's - two strikes right there. I would strongly suggest getting the eGo since it is a manual with a larger battery for a first time user. I hope you can get your money back.

Vicki has one that called Green Mint, aka doublemint gum. I was never a menthol smoker, but smokers who try it say, "ew, I don't like menthol". There are menthol flavors around, you'll just have to try them, but I really like that "Green mint". As far as the buzz goes, again, try some 18 and some 24mg. Some ppl need a little extra 'oomph' now and then to stave off a craving for analogs... nice to have a bottle or two of higher nic for just those times.

The important thing, again, is to get started. No, it might not be perfect... but until you start walking down that road, you won't know if your shoes are right for the trip, eh? Luckily, the good vendors ship so fast, a new pair of shoes is no more than 2 or 3 days down the road...

Was a menthol smoker for 40+ years. Started vaping 2 months ago. Tried half a dozen or more menthol juices from various vendors and, for me, nothing comes close to Johnson Creek Arctic Menthol. Highly recommend it!
 
hi there i am just confused. they just said that e cigarette have no bad effect to our lungs... but vapor also gets in to our lungs. maybe too much vapor that gets in to our lung is bad enough also? doesn't our lungs get liquid? and having liquid in our lungs is also dangerous?... i am also an e cigarette user and i also just cant stop inhaling vapor. maybe it is just so freaking good. the nicotine the sweetens and the flavor...
