Hiya and welcome fellow newbie! My SmokeTip arrived in 2 days also, their shipping is great with everything, as well as their customer service. If you have any probs, give them a call...they're awesome. I started with Blucigs, which was a total nightmare...hated them. Barely any vapor (if any), had to recharge constantly, and NO throat hit whatsoever! I returned them as soon as I tried the SmokeTip. Luving them ... great vapor, stays charged all day, nice throat hit, and my carts last for days. I get the Marlboro carts, but have also tried and liked some of the others. I never tried the Eluma, so I cannot offer you any answers about the comparable throat hit. And you will get used to the heavier, larger ecig in the SmokeTip...I dropped it once myself.
Don't get too overwhelmed ... any information and support you need can be found in this forum. Everyone's super friendly and extremely helpful!
Keep Vaping and Rockin!
