hi folks

[weezy]

I must say that I have been trolling these forums for quite some time and just recently made the plunge and spent a bunch of dough to try and kick the habbit

Some Background on me:

I am 29 years of age and believe it or not I started dabbling with cancer sticks at the age of 10. I grew up in a household that smoked heavily so my first brand was KOOLS (as those are what my parents smoked)

At 14 I became hooked and started smoking Newport regulars.Smoked about a pack every 2 days until I was 18 then i switched to Newport 100s went to a pack a day . From about the age of 24 on I was up to almost 2 packs a day . Eventually I couldn't breath when I got angry ... I would get out of breath playing with my two little girls. I would walk up a single flight of stairs to get to my flat and be winded and gasping for air for a good five minutes before I could finally calm my burning lungs.

Basically ... for lack of a better descriptor ... I was dieing , fast.

Then I happened upon Dealextreme where I saw these electronic smokes. I knew nothing of the health benefits but I was fascinated by them and took it upon myself to learn more.

I searched Youtube and found a vid of an older guy with glasses ... slightly balding (hehe sorry to describe you instead of naming you but I can not remember your name as of yet and from my trolling I KNOW that you are a regular here ) I watched all of his vids and reviews and ultimately found my way here from them.

SO

I went to Superfixx and bought myself three pen styles two of which the batts and atomizers came branded njoy and also went to get myself a Janty KISSBOX which should be here any day now.

The Superfixx device I have been smoking for a couple days now ... and I have only smoked about 8 real smokes since I started ... NOT because I NEED to either ... but because my wife keeps taking my kit out of the house to go show her friends

The flavour I got from smartfixx was Menthol but I gotta say it tastes more like weak mint. BUT since I started using I have had zero desire to smoke a real cig... amazingly. I showed my mother ... also a smoker when we went to visit her and she is very interested as well. She could not believe that I have not craved a smoke at all.

I have a mixed batch of about 50 flavours coming from Janty so hopefully I will like some of those

I just want to say thank you all for all the info I have read thus far and I hope that I can be a valued member of these forums!

Welcome and good luck. You sound like so many on this forum.

Hello, Weeze, I think that was my bald pate you saw; and thank you for calling it only "slightly" balding!

I'm glad to have helped show you to the light, my child! Go now, smoke no more, and vape forevermore!

 

[Kate]

Amen.

[weezy]

Thanks all I really enjoy reading this site and sorry Leaford I could not remember your name I tried to give you credit as politely as possible ... your vids are all great by the way

 

[weezy]

Lol thanks Kate I love your Avitar

 

[Kate]

Let's you and me start a mutual appreciation society Weezy

 

[weezy]

lol nothing wrong with appreciation when it is warranted

 

[Kate]

Absolutely right there Weezy.

When are you expecting your Kissbox? I'd be interested in hearing your impressions on how it compares with Smartfixx. We don't hear a lot about Smartfixx on this forum, I'm not sure why.

Buy some menthol crystals off ebay. Place a few VERY FEW in some e-juice. Heat some water to a boil. Take if off the heat. Insert the bottle of e-juice. Leave a few minutes until warm. Shake. Inhail the delicious menthol flavor. With menthol crystals you can make the menthol as strong as you want.

Brian, I heated mine in the microwave for 30 secs, heated it fine, shook bottle and crystals melted into the liquid. This is less of a mess than heating the water and all.
Just a suggestion. I have small flat bottomed bottles, not the tall ones like JC. So they are stable in the microwave.

 

[weezy]

ive had my kissbox for almost two days now .... and I absolutely love it ... manual all the way . My smartfixx in my opinion is quite nice but honestly can not compare to the pure joy I get and the huge Vape "rips" from my kissbox. I seem to be having issues with how little the Janty Batteries hold a charge and my Smartfix atomizer gets raging hot after only a few puffs So hit or miss ... I will give the Janties another charge and see how that holds up but I just dont know about the Smartfixx

 

[leaford]

The SmartFIXX is the same as Njoy, an rn4072. OK, but no better really than the current generation of generics. ANd their super-mini is a DSE103 style. Again, OK, but not great.

 

[weezy]

My take on the smartfixx is it is overpriced and under performing ... you could buy two of puresmokers pens at the price of one Smartfixx pen . ANd from what I have read from satisfied users you will be more than happy with those . Of the three atomizers and three batteries I purchased to start with , only one of each work even reasonably well any more and it has been less than a week . Sure you may say that that is because of my inexperience . But I do not drip (yet) and only used the smartfixx provided cartridges that I purchased with the system . Just wish suppliers had a trade up program "trade us a competitors product toward a great discount on one of ours!" I would do it in a heartbeat lol

UPDATE ON JANTY ISSUES

Contacted Jeff from Janty about my issues with the kissbox I ordered the day after I made that post above and received a complete kit in the mail today!

 

[leaford]

That's the way Janty rolls!

[weezy]
