Hi everyone!

[jj2007]

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a few days, trying to absorb everything and figure out what to buy! I have smoked for 6 years (1pk/day), my husband who is joining me in this has smoked for 10 years (half pk/day). I purchased a 21st Century and njoy a few years ago and wasn't very happy with those, then a few weeks ago Groupon had Eversmoke start kits so I got one of those and like it much better. We haven't had an analog in 2 days!
I'm planning to wean off nicotine completely, while he plans to continue so I'm hunting for something of better quality that he can refill instead of the prefilled brand specific cartomizers from Eversmoke.
So far what I've gathered is a 510 kit would be the best choice as far as long term and options, and he prefers an automatic battery and cartomizers (like we are using now with the Eversmoke kit) vs the atomizer/cartridge.
I've read through all the newbie material in the InfoZone and just looking for some brand suggestions, and helpful tips and hints you may have. I am hesitant in posting since every newbie always asks the same questions, but you all seem like such a helpful bunch I figured why not.
I've found these, but not sure how reliable the batteries are.

Hi and welcome to you and your hubby.......I would look into the ego lines. Congrats and good luck!!!

eGo twist has never done me wrong

i second the eGo lines for anyone looking to get started maybe check out a kanger T-3 as well as it holds more juice and is simple to use

if youre going to go for a twist check out the eGo v V2 mega my personal favorite at this moment

welcome

i would suggest ego twist / vivi nova or carto+tank as a starter kit i'm sure vendors here *i'm not sure* or ppl will link you to some good starter sets..

 

[jj2007]

Thanks for all the suggestions! The Ego Twist is the battery right, so can I just buy that and the cartomizers, charger, etc? Or does that type only work with the separate pieces?

Welcome JJ!

Congrats to you! I'm new here too. 47 yrs old. Smoked for 30 years... 42 days without a "stinker"! You can do it. It was easier than I thought...never missed them at all, although I did avoid drinking alcohol for a few weeks to avoid any "triggers". I'm vaping an all VG juice at 18mg nic content. And...exercising too. The wheezing went away after about 3 weeks and my sense of taste and smell came back after a month. Hang in there and DON'T GO BACK.

Hi and welcome!

The 510 models and the like are known as "cig-a-likes" for their similar size... and unfortunately often a similar long term value. See all the references to "ego" batteries? If you are making *serious* attempts at the long term that is excellent advice. Carts with 510 threading can still be used if you like but I think most people end up with a tank sooner or later so you can quit throwing those things out when they go bad.

This is an *excellent* package to consider, IMHO:

(No, I don't work for them or get any kickbacks or anything... That's just the best price I've found on my Top Pick for a truly awesome starter kit!)

I agree with the ego suggestion. Personally I'm not fond of the CE4 type clears & I'd go with the novas like someone else mentioned. Welcome to the forum & congrats to both of you for deciding to make the switch!!!

I've been off cigarettes now for about 3 months. My Wife and I started by ordering and sharing a White Cloud Cirrus 3x starter kit, and while she continues to love them, I needed something with a little more kick. Been using my Joyetech Evic for about a month now and loving it!

Rule #1: It's *always* good to have backups!
Rule #2: It's good to do what you can to help make sure your local shop stays open
