Hello Everyone,
I've been interested in eCigarettes for a while. Last Tuesday I was in a local mall and saw one of those kiosks that sells the smoke-51's. I approached the kiosk for information and was told that they were having an Independence day sale. The sales girl let me try one by putting a mouth piece (I've come to recognize this now as a normal cartomizer condom with a hole punched in it) over a cartomizer and handing it to me. During the sale I could buy the starter kit (One battery, Two Cartomizers, a USB charger and a clamshell carrying case for only $100 (Normally $150). Or I could get the more advanced kit (normally $200) that comes with and extra battery and a wall charger for only $150. 5 packs of cartomizers were on sale for $12.50 (down from $25).
This all seemed really steep to me; but after puffing on it for a little while I was impressed at how "life-like" it was. I asked how long one battery would last based on me being about a pack and a half to two packs a day smoker and she said probably a little more than half a day. I quickly compared the cost in my head to what I would pay for Chantix (which worked on me before, I had quit for 2 years) and decided to go with the basic kit. I got her to throw in a 5 pack of cartomizers with it and felt I'd done pretty well.
The sales girl told me the battery was fully charged so I walked away puffing on my new toy. I didn't feel the urge at all to smoke a real cigarette and even had time to chuckle at all the people standing out side the mall smoking in the rain until about 2.5 hours later when the battery died.
I figured it just hadn't been fully charged as the girl had said. Back on normal cigarettes for the rest of the day.
When I got home I popped it on the charger and started surfing for more information about this brand. All the reviews of it seemed pretty good. Although they all also seemed to give discount codes... Then I found the smoke-51 website and realized I had way overpaid!
That day I found this forum and over the next couple days I read a lot! Last Thursday I ordered 2 Bloog 120mm auto batteries, a PCC, a USB charger and a variety pack of their cartomizers (all for considerably less than I had paid for the smoke-51. Those arrived today and I must say I feel like this is a much better product. The bloog web site insinuated that the PCC would fit the 102mm batteries. It doesn't. But this product does perform and taste better than the smoke-51. I like the idea of the PCC so I'll probably just order a couple shorter batteries (maybe I'll try on manual) and keep one big one at the office and the other at home.
Sorry if this text was long. I just wanted to introduce my self and say thanks to all the helped me with out even realizing it by having posted here before me!
