Hi friends,
I've been vaping for years now, and have not only been loving it but also singing it's praises to others since my first Volcano session. I had heard about electronic cigarettes for some time now, mostly from friends in the states, but never saw them really surface here in Canada so I never really gave them too much consideration. The other day though the mood struck me to hunt down a local retailer for e-cigs, and I was somewhat surprised to find one here in my home town of Surrey, BC.
Well, after work on Saturday I stopped at a local "food mart"/head shop and took a look at what they had to offer. Long story short, I walked out with both the 510-T and Ego-t starter kits, and a couple juices.
The following day, I went back to the site which I had originally found them advertised on (Vancityvapor) and placed an order for some more juices, as well as some tanks and an adapter which allows the 510-t charger to accept the Ego-t battery. To my surprise, less than an hour later a rep from vancityvapor called me and offered to drop off my supplies to my home that very day in about an hour. Now that's service!
Anyway, I've been using the E-cigs for a couple days now and I've got to say I don't ever see myself going back to analogs if I can help it. I was easily a 2 pack+ a day menthol smoker and I've made the transition to vaping without a hiccup. I don't crave nor desire an actual cigarette anymore, and am more than happy to puff away on the e-cig... especially in places where smoking is generally frowned upon. So far I've vaped away on the bus, in the supermarket, in the movie theater, and pretty much wherever I please. Gotta say, I love it.
Both of my e-cig setups are tank systems, and the atty's and tanks are interchangeable between the units, which is quite convenient. It's especially convenient since less than 24 hours after purchasing my kits the atty for the Ego-t crapped out. No pop, no sizzle, no vapor whatsoever. Tried the atty in both the ego and the 510, no bueno. Luckily though the attys from the 510 work just fine with the ego, so I've experienced no downtime.
The larger battery from the Ego-t seems to last longer than the 510-t, which makes sense considering it's roughly 3x the size. What somewhat surprises me though is that even though I've been using the same tanks and atty's between both the 510 and Ego, the ego seems to produce a thicker, more satisfying vapor.
Anyway, I guess I should have ordered some atty's while I was placing my last order, but at the time I didn't realize they were a wear item with a finite lifespan, and I certainly didn't expect to lose one in less than a day.
That said, I'm hooked on vaping (pun intended)!
So far all of my juices have been "J's Juices" brand, except one which is an unlabeled Marlboro flavor. Not sure if anyone is familiar with this particular brand of juice, but so far I'm pleased, although I do wonder how it compares to the plethora of other juices I hear being discussed on this site. If anyone is "in the know" I'd certainly appreciate their insight. For the time being though, I've got 6 bottles of juice in varying flavors so I should be set in that regard I guess.
I do now realize that I need to buy some more atty's and accessories, and I'm wondering what my best choice would be. Vancityvapor sells the attys for about $20 each, but frankly I'm unsure as to what to choose, and if I should even be paying that much to begin with. They've got 510-t regular, 510-t low res, then the ego regular and low res, and the ego xl, and I'm pretty much lost. 2.5 ohms, 1.8 ohms, LR, XL, the nomenclature is beginning to make my head spin a bit. Can anyone break it down for a noob and point me in the right direction please?
Anyway, I've gone off on a rant for long enough here. I'm loving my e-cigs and won't be going back to analogs anytime soon, I can tell you that. Oh, and for what it's worth Health Canada needs to remove their heads from their asses and lift the ban on these devices. It's obvious that they are much safer than traditional cigarettes in every conceivable way, and their only drawback is that the gov't isn't getting their pound of flesh by way of taxing us to death.. yet.
