Hi,
Just started vaping last week. My wife and I decided that it was time to quit smoking and I bought a cheap disposable e-cig from a gas station to try it out. It tasted terrible and did not work well at all. I figured there had to be something better out there. After tons of searching and getting very confused and frustrated at the amount of info that is on the interwebs, I found this forum which led to me finding a local gift shop that sells eGo stuff and decided to go talk to them. Long story short, I ended up buying a starter kit from them that came with 2 eGo-T batteries, 4 Echo-E cartomizers and a USB charger for $55. My wife and I both got one. So far so good, for me anyway. She is not tolerating the juice very well so we are trying to find alternatives, but I have not had a cigarette since Fri Jan 13. I really like the setup I bought but I am now on the hunt for more e-juice options. Now on to my questions.
1. Batteries: How long can I expect them to last? Do they last a week, a month, 6 months? Are they like other re-chargeable batteries in the sense that you should run them all the way down before recharging? Are there any tips for extending the life of the batteries? Yesterday was the first time I used a battery until it died. It lasted from 5:30 AM until about 3:00 PM. I don't know if I am a heavy user or not, I have no one to compare to, but I do tend to have it in my mouth most of the time that I am at work. Does this seem like a reasonable amount of time for the battery to last?
2. Cartomizers: How do you know when a cartomizer is "done" and needs to be replaced? Will it no longer heat up and produce vapor? Can you tell when it is starting to die? What should I look for?
3. Juice: I have only tried a couple so far and I really like RY4. I also have been mixing USA mix with vanilla and that is pretty good too. I don't know the manufacturer at the moment, but they are decent. Yesterday I brought two cartomizers full of RY4 with me to work. I swear that by the end of the day I could no longer taste it. I was getting plenty of vapor out of them, just no flavor. I have read about staying hydrated so I know that wasn't the issue. Is this normal? Should I be switching up flavors throughout the day?
Not sure if this is allowed or not but the website of the local shop I bought my stuff from is usapuffnstuff.com. They own a small tea and gift shop here in Wentzville, MO that they sell their e-cig products out of. They are very nice people and were extremely helpful in getting me started on vaping. Without them, I would still be smoking Marlboros.
Looking forward to learning a ton more.
