I guess I have to start here for 5 posts before slumming around in the other forums. I must say I enjoy the reading.
I'm a 3-pack per day analog smoker who has been analog-free for 7 days now. (Ok, I cheated last Sunday when I found an orphan cigarette lying on the floor in my Ford. It was stomped on, kicked around and mutilated almost beyond smoking but somehow I managed to inhale it all - filter as welll. Holy crap was it good. I hope it was my last).
Years ago, I tried GreenSmokes but couldn't take 'em. They were nasty. Then, a week ago, my lazy-assed nephew who owes me a freaking fortune gave me a blu cig starter kit. Some might say it was fate or merely good timing which prompted me to make a go of this e-cig thing again, but more than anything I suspect it was Mrs. Kodiak's new decree that the garage would henceforth and forever be off limits as the designated smoking area. Or as she put it in that gentle and loving tone of hers, "You are stinkin' up my car dumbass!"
It's freaking cold up here and after a few days of scraping snow off my testicles I decided to start using those blu-cigs I hadn't opened yet. Hey, they weren't bad. The batteries suck to high heaven and my jaw hurts from trying to get a decent throat hit out of them but for a week now, they've kept my nicotine cravings in check and my testicles dry and toasty. These blucigs are stealthy little .......s too. I've been using them in the strangest places.
So here is my newb question:
What is responsible for throat hit? Is it the Vapor or the Nicotine level? Perhaps both? The analogs I smoked were pretty heavy and these blucig cartomizers just don't cut it. I suspect the tiny battery affects this as well. At the end of each day I get a slight headache which I suspect is a symptom of withdrawal from the nicotine levels I'm accustomed to. I'm only using about 2 blucig carts a day and since I'm a dumbass (as per Mrs. Kodiak), I think I've been smoking them pretty dry and just don't know any better yet.
So yesterday, I ordered a Vea starter kit from Johnson Creek along with an assortment of carts and even a 3-pack of their tanks (canteens). Also, some stronger e-juice. I'll keep the blucigs for a quick fix when out and about but I'm hoping the Vea will help without the need to vape 24/7.
And of course, after I ordered my kit, I discovered this forum. Go figure.

I believe they were made with the tobacco they swept from the floor at Phillip-Morris after each shift change. Then a dog crapped in them. Cheap though (as cigarettes go anyway). The only time I chain-smoked was in my car because that's about the only place I could smoke. Weather permitting I'd sit outside and smoke a lot. Honestly though, since I use my hands a lot I think a lot of my smokes just burned up in the ashtray while I'd read or used a keyboard.
