Here is my unbiased review of White Cloud Cirus 3

[clay_c]

Hello all
I am a newbie and this is my first post
I ordered the White Cloud Cirus 3 and 2 year warranty on Thursday Evening (6/9/11), I recieved an email on 6/10/ that my order has been packed and shipped- (good sevice)-I recieved it via UPS on Monday evening (6/13)at 5pm-
As I am writing this it is Wednsday the 15th around 12:30 Central time and I have not had a cigarette since I have recieved the Cirus 3- I will repeat -I have not had a "real" cigarette since receiving the Cirus 3!!!!!!! I am 49 years old and have been smoking since I was 16 years old or so-2 packs a day at least) I was the worlds worse smoker- I still cant believe I havent had a cigarette
Anyway
after recieving the Cirus3 - I opened it and it came with 3 batteries a charger and adapter, and 5 cartriges, and an extra pack of cartriges that I ordered extra, instructions were included and they were very informative-if you have a question that the instructions dont answer, the web site probably will as it is a very good website, the actual cigarette/cartridge feels like the quality is top notch, the batteries last about 9 hours, and the taste is very very much like a "real" cigarette that I still cant believe it.
Can someone confirm that I am inhaling vapor and not smoke? I am still not convinced. I keep thinking that it is a trick. When you take a 'hit' on this , it very much feels like the real thing as it produces a lot of vapor(looks like smoke) and you can feel it in the back of your throught.(sp) I am using the extra stregnth nicotine (tobacco flavored) - they actually have a nicotine cartridge that is a higher level. I have just ordered more cartriges but I am going down in stregnth to full strength this time in expresso and tobacco flavored. It is nice being able to smoke in the house now. The first cartidge lasted me untill noon this morning(6/15) which is a surpring long time. They claim a cartridge is about the equivelant of 2 packs of cigarettes. I know I would have smoked more than 2 packs of cigarettes since recieving the Cirus 3. The cartridges are 19.95 each I believe and if you buy 5 you get one free. A bit high, but the quality and taste in my opinion could not be better.
If there is any drawback it is the cost- I have read that some of the ecigarettes you have to change the atomizer and also buy a bottle of juice(nicotine) and add a drop or two the the cigarette- that would make it much cheaper but it would also be a pain in the rear. I would be afraid I would get tired of adding the drops etc and that would make me go back to smoking cigarettes again. Which is the last thing I wanna do. Also, there are some real real inexpensive e cigarettes out there, but after reading the reviews most if not all of them lasted a day or two and that was if they recieved there order. Again-if I tried something like that and it lasted a day or two (and that is even if they got my order right) ,it would just make me go back to smoking.
Anyway -I am giving this a 5 star out of 5 star rating, this to me is about as close to the real thing as I think you can get.
Sorry I am so long winded
I am a very quiet person by nature
I have just talked more just now than I probably have all week
Clay
also-keep in mind that this is the only e cigarette I have tried so I cant really compare it any of the others-

The problem with White Cloud is they are a huge ripoff. They did not invent that model. It's one of the KR808D models. I can buy a kit for a fraction of their price, the same spare batteries for $10 each. It's a fine model. They just charge way too much for it. Their markup is huge, the largest I have seen.

And welcome to ECF!

Congrats Clay! That's amazing- you're doing great.

Clay, big congratulations!! You can keep using your White Cloud and order cartridges from other places or juice to refill the ones you have, and save lots of money. It's amazing, isn't it? Kicked a 40 year habit myself, and it's still hard to wipe this silly grin off my face

Congrats Clay and welcome! I felt the same way when I started vaping. It's amazing that something that can actually replicate the smoking experience. Keep at it, if you're happy with your PV and cartomizers and not smoking... that's all that really matters.

Congrats Clay and keep it up. Please do a lot of searching and ask a lot of questions on here. Now that you have quit the analogs start looking at some cheaper alternatives other then White Cloud. You found that you can quit cigarettes now find that you can also save some money.

Congratulations! Do whatever you have to do to get through these first days and read, read, read - you'll find that adding drops really isn't a pain. Over the course of the next month, you might be shocked at what you've decided to do. The most important thing right now is to get over smoking.

It's always good to hear another success story! Sounds like you're off and running, now prepare to be amazed at how fast everything improves for you. From your sense of smell to your energy levels to whatever, it all improves quickly. Be sure and drink lots of water, as the vapor does tend to dehydrate you. Vape on!
