Well, I may as well tell you all who I am as I plan on being here for a while.
The basics are that I am 25, got out of the US Army seven months ago for medical reasons, got a job doing satellite communications field support in Afghanistan. Got shot at, blown up a couple times and the thing that did me in was falling off the loading ramp of a Chinook coming home from the second deployment. C'est la vie.
I am a video gamer, physics and engineering enthusiast, firearm fanatic, automotive lover and rock climber in my spare time. If you ever have questions on any of those subjects, I can probably give you a good answer or find one for you, just message me.
So, here I sit in Afghanistan smoking like a chimney as I am wont to do when I'm bored, and let me tell you, there is no other job where you get paid so much to be so bored as Satellite Communications. During the breaks between cigarettes, one of the marines out here asks if I want to buy his electronic cigarette. He just doesn't like it and I have a reputation for smoking anything with nicotine. Sure, why not. Fifty bucks later and I now own a Blu cig set with a random assortment of flavors. Hey, coffee, that sounds awesome. I like coffee, and I love nicotine. Match made in heaven. First puff... Sweet mother of god what did I just put in my mouth. It tasted somewhere between the day old coffee that's been cooking the whole time and a chemical spill. Ok, coffees all go in the trash. That's ok, I still have six carts left in the other three flavors. Vanilla is next. I look at the cig with apprehension for a moment, wondering if I'd just gotten taken for a fifty. Deep pull. Slightly vanilla, but no chemical spill. Alright, we're cookin now. Pop in Fallout new Vegas and start puffing away as I wander the wasteland. Twenty minutes later, puff... Nothing. Ok, battery is dead. Pull the other off the charger, puff, alright, crisis averted. Ten minutes later, there's that chemical spill again. Burnt plastic. Carts out. Easy enough. Next on the block is cherry. Can't go wrong with cherry. Same story. Forty five minutes, cart is done. Wow, these things go quick. Thought they were supposed to have a pack a piece. Maybe it's just me. tobacco goes on. Not nearly as good as the other two and it's the one I was looking forward to. It's got a little icon of a pipe. So pipe tobacco? Not so much. Kinda tastes like a cigarette if you smoke it too close to the filter.
So, two days of puffing on the thing and I'm out of cartos. Time to order more. Seven bucks for five? Hell, I smoked that many a day. That's worse than my smokes.
Research time.
Enter both modern vapor and this forum. After poking around during one of my insomniatic benders, I've settled on a 902, a bunch of refillable cartos and three different flavors. A least for now. I've been banned from nicotine purchases on anything but my VA checks by the wife, so any more experimentation will have to wait till next month. So, shopping cart is full, enter all the info... Transaction denied... Ok, I know I'm not ......ed, but it's telling me that the bank says my billing address is wrong. Check the billing address according to the bank. The only difference is that my phone number has dashes on one, not on the other. Much cursing later, I try again... Declined. Insufficient funds. Ok bank man, now you're just messing with me. Sure enough, the first time I tried to order, it put a pending transaction in, locking those funds. The only funds I have for the month.
Well, crap. So here I am writing to all you fine people, bored, order-less and unable to sleep.
So, the one question I have for y'all. For a seriously heavy smoker, how much juice would I need to order in order to make it through a month? I saw in another thread that a carto will last right around a week of constant use, so I ordered three five-packs to be safe. The only thing I'm worried about is running out of the tasty stuff and going back to the smokes. They make me feel like hammered crap in the morning when combined with all the other joyous crud I inhale just by being here. I have four ten ml bottles, two each of energy cow (hopefully it actually tastes like red bull) and USA havanna, and two 20 ml bottles of ry4 which sounds like it should be somewhere between listening to good music and intimacy on the pleasure scale.
Let me know what y'all think, and I'll answer any questions you have about me. I'm very much looking forward to having a new hobby I can actually do out here.
Cheers
