i was cruisin youtube and came across this guy shawn how was tring out an e-cig,by the time i finished the 3rd vid i was sold on one of these.been trying to quit using these damn lozenges for 12 weeks and realize i am just changing the method of delivery for nicotene as i chain use the losenges as well,i smoked 3pks a shift at work for at least the last 10 yrs and been a heavy smoker for more than 20 yrs.im not lookin for any candy or fruit flavored replacement but a real tobaco taste with a good hit and what he was smokin sure looked like it.i drive truck and am workin 13-14 hr days so i need to find a solution to last all day,dont know where in canada to buy anything and a search here seems to leave me with lots to read,i guess what i am askin is 1.where do i buy in the chatham area,the best that gets the longest battery life,these candies are not getting me anywhere so i want to at least enjoy the flavor of a smoke.i have read about mods as well but only just touched the subject,i dont care if i have a battery pack the size of a large pack of smokes to carry as long as im not stuck without nic on the road,any suggestions?refilling looks like most economical option,

thx

Why wouldn't you recommend the free trial offer, clem? I almost ordered one for my Grandma today to try and see what she thought of it.

I'll say it a little more bluntly than Clem...
Free trial offers are scams...do not fall for them.

All the 'free' trials I have read about are pretty much the same. They suck you in with 'free', then they get your credit card number and once you 'trial' period is over, they charge your card $150+ for the starter kit. Then they keep sending (and charging for) monthly cart refills.
I have also read that most of these products are zero nicotine. I don't know about others, but for me, a zero-nic ecig would have had zero chance of getting me off analogs.

Just my .02

If you are looking for an inexpensive carto (cartomizer... atty and cart all in one), the KR808 is a good model to start with.
The batt life is great (couple batts should get you through the workday) and the carts hold quite a bit of juice. 2-3 cartos should get you through a day.

Later on if (when) you decide to get a big batt mod, you can get a 510 thread on it and an adapter to use your 808 cartos.

Edit: and when you do move up to a BB mod, I'm with Hecknaw on recommending the Chuck!

I too recommend a KR808D-1 with a Passthrough + USB car adapter and a bunch of cartomizers. Also carry a bottle of juice so you can top off some of those cartos when you hit a truckstop. I doubt very much 2 cartos will last you a day. I know it wouldn't for me. V4L VaporKing is a very good choice!

For someone who likes tobacco flavor (like myself) I recommend V4L Cuban Cigar cartos. I hear good things about those and will be ordering some of those for myself. Parlament is good also and Cola (non-tobacco) may surprise you! :)

Good luck!

Yes, I should revise my original statement. I was basing that statement on greencig cartos on 808 batteries. If you can suck 3 GC cartos dry in less than a day, you are doing some seriously heavy vaping. A GC will hold about a ml, and will use 95% of it before vapor drops off.
