Giving this a shot! Incoming Newbie!

[Saitoberry]

So I did a bunch of research around this forum, and after reading tons I finally braced myself and bought myself a Joye 510 which I'm anxiously awaiting in the mail now! I'm hoping that I can use e-cigs as a good alternative to my caffeine addiction with coffee (it sucks being a manager at Starbucks ahhhh), and it should also work wonders for getting off cigarettes, since that's my default stress reliever during exam time and the likes (Also a college student!).

I figured since I'm one of you guys now, I might as well introduce myself. I'm Zachary from Maryland; I'm moving to Hawaii within 3 months (now you can get a feeling of where my sudden stress is coming from right now) and I just know that e-cigs will do the trick for me. Since cops are paranoid here though, and people in general are ignorant and will only believe their eyes I've even purchased the Zazzle informational business card, so hopefully that'll keep me out of trouble, and will give me the chance to spread the good word about vaping vs cigarettes. Looking forward to my stay here!

Welcome! You will love your 510. I'm smoke-free after 32+ years and am feeling perkier every day. I haven't had any problems with cops, but if you do get stopped be polite and explain what it is you are using. It is pretty clear once they see your 510 it is not an illegal device or anything like that. They will also be able to tell by looking at you and your behavior. Analog looking ecigs only tend to draw attention when the blue light is glowing, and no stink. Enjoy.

Welcome Zach

Congrats on making the decision to switch over to e-cigs. Hopefully you'll be able to find a few juices that you like early on. It will help to make the transition easier. Try some sample sizes from a few different juice vendors to see what you like.
There's a lot of good info here to keep you reading for quite some time, and anytime your not sure about something just ask. There's a lot of good knowledgeable people around here that are always willing to answer your questions.

Welcome to the mailman stalkers club! Good luck with your move!

 

[Panini]

Good luck! As fair warning, though, be prepared for a learning curve. I just started eight days ago even though I bought the e-cig nearly two weeks ago. I was so excited about starting this journey, my 510 came, and I had a slight letdown while learning to use it properly. That passed and now I'm happily an exclusive vaper. No more cigarettes! Just don't beat yourself up if you get a little bit frustrated in the first day or two. Once it clicks it will stick!

I'm moving to Hawaii within 3 months (now you can get a feeling of where my sudden stress is coming from right now)

I figure I'll just tag on to the end of this thread...lol.

My name is Don and I'm a Registered Nurse (ER) in Lancaster, CA. I just bought my first e-cig today (a Joye eGo). I also bought one for my girlfriend and we can't wait for them to get here. I've been researching for a couple of days now, and I know I'm going to have more questions than I care to think about once it actually gets here. I'm thrilled to see the support this forum/community provides. I look forward to being an active participant (just as soon as I figure out enough to keep from sounding too ignorant...lol).

Thanks for creating such a fantastic place to learn!!!

 

[MtnLioness]

Congrats! I ordered the Joye eGo today and I can't wait for it to arrive!

These forums rock! The chat's great, too! Give it a try!

You manage a starbucks? That's crazy, good luck avoiding drinking coffee...

My sister started working there and now she's up to 6-7 cups a day haha.

Welcome to the mailman stalkers club! Good luck with your move!

ROFVLMAO! I know RIGHT? My poor mail lady....I'm waiting in the window like a crazy person each week now...juices this week coming in! hee hee hee...

Saitoberry: Congrats on your 1st step....I have found that I took a bite out of TWO big habits, analog cigs being the MAIN one and my intake of Caffeine! I use to drink a 2 litre (if not a tad more) EVERY DAY of Diet Coke....now, I'm all about the WATER....Coffee too, I would have 4-5 cups before I left for work (gonna be tougher for you working around the stuff..LOL)and now I'm at 1 cup in the a.m. and 1 cup when I get home from work. You'll enjoy it! AND you're in the right place at ECF, these folks have been MORE than helpful to me and the reason I am as successful, 40 years smoking, picked up my e-cig and haven't looked back nor WANTED to!

[IndustrialAction]

Congrats!!!

 

[Saitoberry]

So my Joye 510 came in the mail today, and I charged it while at work, got home and tested it out and I'm already in love! I think this is the start to a beautiful relationship

Welcome Zachary!

Sbux mgr, eh! Howdy partner, I worked at Starbucks for 11 freakin' years! (and 5 years at a cafe in Oregon before that and 3 years at Peets Coffee and Tea after it) I was so into it, I'd go to those annual mgr conferences and cry like a baby every time.... how embarrassing.

Good Luck with the vaping adventure, it's truly awesome.

 

[Liv2Ski]

Welcome aboard to another soon to be EX SMOKER!

 

[croman67]

Hi Zachary
Happy vaping and reading. The folks here are a wonderful bunch!
My mailman is going to want a tip this year for all the boxes hes had to carry for me! hahaha

 

[Cloudy Dave]

Just ordered my Ego yesterday, the stalking has begun! I began only a week ago with my super mini Blu, it's alright it's what got me into this whole thing so I have to thank Blu for that. I was a pack a day analog smoker and now im down to about 2-3 a day so i'm doing backflips over my new found love. I can't wait to learn all about how to use this thing when it comes in! Overnight delivery should be standard now a days lmao.
