Hi There
I'm a long time smoker, and At my worst I will be near 2 packs a day. After talking to a few people about e-cigs, I finally bought my first one a few days ago. The local gas station where I often bought my Pall-Malls sells the eonsmoke, so I gave it a try. I have not had a real smoke since taking this up, and overall I'm pleased with them. By the second day I bought my second starter kit, because I realized I would need a second battery to use while I was charging.
I'm an inquisitive person and was looking for more information as soon as I started. I guess I also have a fairly decent BS detector when it comes to the internet. So my initial searches for info on e-cigs brought my to "blogs" and sites which were allegedly offering reviews of different brands. And of course every site was littered with ads to those specific brands. So I was quite relived when I came upon the wiki and eventually this forum. I look forward to learning more about this whole thing.
So far in the short time reading some of the info threads I feel it's already helped me a bit. When I first started I found the vapor a bit lighter than I was looking for and found myself hitting this a bit more like a pipe for non-tobacco products, along with holding the vapor for a while in my lungs. I eventually went to slower shallow puffs, and found it better, and having read some here I see I should be looking to go for pretty long soft inhales into my mouth.
So far the only concern is that I'm burning through cartridges pretty quickly. I think it's partially the novelty of being able to smoke anywhere again. Also today I finished my first cartridge since I want to real slow light puffs. The previuous times it just stopped producing vapor. With this one it began to taste like burning papaer, and it wasn't until I took a strong pull that I realized I wasn't getting vapor but was actually burning something.
Anyway, I look forward to learning from this forum and meeting other e-cig users.
