Just wanted to say hello

Been eyeballing e-cigs for a while but just wasn't sure if I was going to take the leap. Then the new NC law took effect this month and I saw the free offer from knightsticks (I know about the catch just found out after I ordered and will be spending countless hours on the phone I am sure to cancel the subscription). Anyways, got the order yesterday and was actually impressed with the vapor and nic satisfaction.

Still don't know if I want to shell out big bucks on one or not so I am thinking aout the blu as both the starter kit and the cartridge prices seem reasonable.

Anyways, I plan on using this in every public smoking banned place and see what happens. LOL I doubt it will be an issue as this one has a blue led.

Welcome to ECF - lots to read about here! Personally I got the 510 from Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store. (the nobox kit) that got me started and it was only $35 and really fast shipping. 510s are popular as are the V4L 2 piece models (vapor king).
Make sure you do lots n lots of reading before you buy and when you DO decide on one, make sure you get a couple of juices from different palces so you can get an idea of the differences (good juices will make your PV experience a whole lot better!)
If you're looking for a local boy - then Chris of Myfreedomsmokes (see ecf suppliers forum) is in Charlotte :)

Hi I'm in Asheboro NC. I also started with the 510 from cig not. Then I ordered one for my hubby and then my assistant. They are now smoke free as well. I would do some more research on this site before I made a purchase if I were you. Ms.T, Nhaler, and Myfreedomsmokes all have great juice. The ban is what mad be start mt e-cig journey as well I have not had a real cigarette since New Years Eve. Good luck

Welcome d6racer! Another one from NC (just north of Raleigh). I went with Chris at Home | My Freedom Smokes and spent right at $100 for my initial order (510 starter kit, USB passthrough, and sampler pack with the "smoke" discount). One day turn around and getting quite a few "extras" made the value excellent!

On my fourth day and could not be happier!!! (and healthier)

Well, hello there d6racer! Finally....a fellow vaper and a real neighbor!:D
I'm so glad to see someone else in the area has found the wonderful world of vapeing!
You should read the posts about the Janty eGo. IMHO it will be the only PV you will ever need. It is that good!:thumbs:
I'm going to send you a PM and give you my work phone number so maybe we can get together and share a vape or two!
Welcome!

i would DEFINITELY stay away from blu, their shipping time sucks, customer service sucks, and the product is mediocre. i bought a volcano (same as blu, but diff company) and their customer service is way better, and shipping time is much faster. the product is still mediocre though. go with a no box 510, its a little bigger but its cheaper, and a much better product.

Hello d6,

I hope you find a PV you like. And then it'll be interesting to see what kind of reaction you get using it in the smoke-free places. The blue LED ought to reduce any trouble. I wonder what the results have been. There's a lot to read here.

I wonder if my experience would help you I posted today in:

"New users - Put your location in your Profile..."

I would think all our "noob" introductions would be in just one thread.

Hello there and welcome to the forums!

As everyone already said read read read! :D

Please be careful doing this in smoking banned locations. It may have a grey area around the law, but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...(You get the idea)

We are heavily outnumbered, if we make people upset, even AFTER we inform them, it won't make a difference. Offending people is just too easy, but yet those same folks go home and watch murder movies with damn near pornographic scenes...go figure.

Have fun with it though. I am, unfortuantely(?), a fairly cautious person. I was when I was smoking, and I am when I'm vaping. I've had limited success in explaining to people(non smokers/antismokers) what the device is all about. Some accept the explaination. Others, just turn their nose up, remember, it's a duck.

Ignorance is bliss I guess :(

Also from NC here... and like you, I probably spent weeks reading all the "opinions" that other folks offered. My suggestion is to just, "go for it!" You will never know until you have taken the plunge.

Personally, I decided on the 510 and have had less than a half a pack of analogs since the 510 arrived over three weeks ago.

Welcome!
