Hello all, I'm new to this site as well as to vaping.
I've been smoking since I was oh...12 or so. I'm 28 now. I've tried quitting before (who hasn't?) but failed for many different reasons. Didn't actually feel passionate about quitting, and of course 'well he isn't quitting so why should I?'
Now, I've tried cold turkey...wanted to kill people. Lozenges made my cheeks feel like they were on fire and tasted like crap.
Anyway, I'm ready to try quitting...again.
I smoke roughly 1/2 to 3/4 pack a day, unless I'm up all night, then it's a pack or more (less sleep, more smoke...especially insomnia because its 4 freakin AM and I'm BORED!)
I got a couple 'special deals' to try e-cigs, so I ordered a couple for me and the b/f. He's more concerned not with quitting, just finding an e-cig that tastes enough like tobacco that he can smoke it in places that you can't smoke (rental cars for example) So if anyone knows of any actually GOOD-tasting tobacco flavored (preferably disposable since this is a temp thing) ecigs, it's much appreciated.
Me, on the other hand, I smoke menthol. My analog of choice used to be Newport 100's, but MAN they got expensive. Then I switched to Marlboro Smooths, but they tasted so much like those thin mint girl scout cookies I had to quit smoking those, too. I currently smoke L&M Bold menthol 100's and like them. Stronger than regular L&M menthols, but not as harsh as a Marlboro red.
I'm looking for an e-cig that doesn't taste like they just crushed up a cough drop and put it in my cig. I got a Flavorvapes one, and it seriously has the aftertaste of a Luden's cough drop...exactly.
Until I kick the habit, I don't much care for flavors. None of this cotton candy, pumpkin pie, chocolate coffee mocha chai latte stuff.
Also, I don't particularly care if it looks like a cigarette. I could care less if it's 2 inches long or 12.
I would like something upgradeable, and something that will last me all day (2 batteries if necessary). I've read a bit on this forum and most of the pre-made 'cigalike' kits that I have looked at have like..2-3hrs battery life tops. That doesn't work for me. I don't want to cave and go back to smoking just because my battery died.
I've read about the Ego cigs (Ego twist, etc...) but these look confusing as hell. Buy juice here, put juice here but don't overflow and make sure you clean this that and the other thing, and wash those. Take this thing apart to store it, and clean this other thing, and this comes apart to put this thingie on..BAH!! NTY.
I would just like a (at least semi-simple) ecig with very good battery life (as I said, I can get 2 batteries, but I don't want to have to get 10 just to last all day) with a good menthol taste, that doesn't cost a bajillion dollars, and can later be upgraded if I decide I want to go all interchangeable part crazy, which may not happen for a while...I like my simplicity. Again, I don't really give a crap how much it looks like a real cig.
