Hello All, I am a noobie too! My adventure started with the Blu disposable and I loved it instantly, I purchased the Blu Premium 100 kit online and haven't had a analog since. I discovered quickly the batteries for the Blu ecigs did not last very long and became quite frustrated, but I refused to go back to smoking those nasty analogs. I love the flavor of Blu cartridges and ordered a bunch more and another battery. The problem I had was always having to keep those little batteries charged. I just received a Bloog kit and do enjoy the longer lasting battery and the flavors are nice too! Here's my thoughts on the whole battery issues - Save yourself some frustration and get a passthrough battery! It totally enhances the flavors!
...just my
Tiggi - Welcome to you too. Glad you found something that is working for you.
Hi and welcome aboard!!
And I'm very excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks jj2!! I'm excited too!!
I can't wait to order my kit, but having to wait for some funds. 
Oh I also had a question, for anyone who can answer....does the mgs of nic affect the taste? I'm mostly asking about SI's products, but it goes for other suppliers as well.
hi i'm quite new too, not for vape but in this forum. Don't give it up, I did start whit a small e-sig after 20 years of hard-core smok, but now I fill very good and after a period of compulsive shopping where I bought tons of mods tanks. now I have a working well small pv I'm using at work and many at home to make experiment
Hi sweetpeacin,
The SI coupon codes, from their forum, are:
10VOLTECF for 10% off entire purchase
CompareOur808d for 15% off cartomizers only
I'm not sure about nic level and flavor. Some folk have said that the flavor didn't taste so good with certain juices at 0 nic. They weren't specifically talking about SI juice tho - just in general over quite a few suppliers. I'm using 12 mg 555 at the moment and the flavor is fine for me. You might want to try a sampler pack of cartos if you're not sure what flavor to get. Their most popular is Country, which is more tobacco-ish I think. 555 is milder and slightly sweet. I love it. Cherry is very sweet and I didn't like it at all. But some people love the very sweet stuff.

Thanks, GFAFNoize! It really gives me great hope hearing how successful vaping is for longterm smokers like yourself. Welcome to ECF.
Thanks, Kiwivap! Like I said in a earlier post, I plan on getting SI's Pro Starter Kit which comes with a choice of cartos. I'm planning on getting their Strong Sampler, (since I've been a menthol smoker for 99% of my analog life) to see which of their 2 menthols or mint hits the spot. I'm excited that the Grape also comes in that sampler pack. I've read that so many vapers love their grape! I also plan on getting the Smooth Sampler as well. Even though I haven't been a plain tobacco fan, (only when that was the only choice) I'm gonna try them out to see how I feel about them. I'm hoping those will last me so then I can pick a few that taste good to me and then I'll get bottles of juice of whatever flavors. I was also thinking about getting the CE3 cartos, but they are out of stock right now. Maybe they'll be back in stock by time I place my order or I'll just wait to order them with the next purchase of juices. Thanks for the info!!
Ah, sorry, didn't notice the bit about the samplers coming with it. Let us know how the menthol and mint goes. I didn't smoke menthols but I do like a good mint flavor in food, so I'd be interested to hear what you think.
It's all good, Kiwivap! I typed a lot, so no hard feelings that you missed that. 
Hopefully I'll be able to place my order this week and I'll post on here what I think of the flavors when I try them out. I'm currently going between the analogs and vaping on the disposable Blu. I got the "Magnificent Menthol" Blu, which takes like a smoky mint chocolate. And oddly reminds me of my shampoo - which has peppermint and other mint oils and some cocoa, along with other things. And I love it, even if it reminds me of my shampoo. Haha! I remember reading somewhere that someone said the mint gave a similar taste to the after taste of chewing some minty gum. To think going from horrible smoker breathe and stink, to vaping and having minty breathe. Yep, I'm ok with that!!

I just wanted to stop back in here and give an update. I was finally able to order my kit from SI this week. I placed my order early Tuesday morning and received it Thursday afternoon. I admit that I got impatient on Thursday morning when I hadn't heard if my order had shipped. I sent Imagine a PM and she passed my info onto Heather. An hour later Heather wrote me back with my tracking number and even told me that it said my order was out for delivery to me. So I can also vouch for their amazing customer service. I received a different color battery than what I had ordered. I just told Heather about it so I'm waiting to see what we can do about that.
I ordered SI's Pro Starter Kit with 2 78mm batteries, Strong (Ice Menthol, Menthol Burst, Mint, Cappuccino, Classic Grape) sampler pack of carts (18mg), Mega PCC (grey), USB Wall Adapter, USB battery charger and a Smooth (555, Cowboy/Country, Desert Joe, RY4, Freedom) sampler pack of carts (18mg).
@Kiwivap (and anyone else who wants to know) here's my review of the flavors:
STRONG SAMPLER (I liked all the flavors.)
Ice Menthol - A light menthol/mint. Kinda like a mint gum that you've been chewing on for a while that still has a hint of mint to it.
Menthol Burst - Similar to the Ice Menthol, but with a stronger menthol/mint flavor. More like a fresher piece of gum. (My favorite.)
Mint - Stronger more minty version of the Menthol Burst. This one seems to bother my throat a bit.
Cappuccino - Like a light and sweet Cappuccino. The flavor is more on the inhale than the exhale. I would totally vape this while making or eating sweet treats with friends.
Classic Grape - Yummy! Like a powdered grape drink mix. Most flavor on the inhale, only slightly muted on the exhale.
SMOOTH SAMPLER (I was not a tobacco analog smoker, but wanted to give them a try.)
555 - This is the only one I didn't like. Reminded me of warm leather.
Cowboy/Country - A light/smooth/cool vape. Reminds me of Iced Tea Mix.
Desert Joe - Similar to the Country as far as reminding me of Iced Tea Mix, but it's a bit warmer with some more flavor.
RY4 - The cart smells nasty compared to what it tastes like. But the taste is like a sweet tobacco. And kinda reminded me of cotton candy.
Freedom - After tasting all of the flavors, this is what I'm currently vaping. Similar to a mixture of Country and RY4, but not as sweet and no cotton candy flavor.
So glad this kit came just in time as I finished my Blu disposable Thursday night and only have a few analogs left in a pack I had open. Looks like 3 packs of analogs are going in the garbage.
I love the Mega PCC, because it holds 2 78mm batteries (without carts) and 3 carts with the condoms on. I like leaving the condoms on because it seems to keep the aroma of the carts in. I just wish the battery fit a little bit better into the back. With the battery in the door sticks up a bit in the center, so it's not totally flat.
Overall, I'm a happy customer and will be getting some refill juice soon. Anyone know what's going on with the CE3's?
