Howdy all from oregon

[Ding]

welp,I am new here of course but not to smoking.Smoked for over 44 years,3-4 packs of kools a day.Finally tried the e-cig,first day smoked 8 cigs,second 4 and have been tobacco free since january 2012.Used the ego type batteries and 510 cartos for all that time and took a jump to the rechargeable battery type.Ordered the L rider robust.?.Never thought I'd be able to stop tobacco.Anyhoo howdy y'all.I am sure I will be well schooled in what is going on in the e-cigs world here.Got my juice down,menthol tobacco flavor,some habits are hard to get rid of but am always looking for what is the best delivery systems,like the tanks and other gizmos that go on the machine itself.Thanks for leaving the door open.

Welcome. Your story sounds like mine...40 years 3+ pad. It's amazing, isn't it. Ask what ever questions you need answered. There are plenty of folks around here waiting with baited breath to render an opinion on anything and everything.

yeah go ducks. and raiders,yeah a die hard raider fan...well I ordered one of them L rider sumpinorothers and hopin it will "start" me in the right direction.Grimwald,I hear ya,never thought it would happen.One day I woke up,went down to the tobacco shop and bought one of those disposable e-cigs,then another and then searched the interwebs and stumbled upon a place that sold e-cig stuff.Bought a ego 1100 and some tips and juice and went from there.Am gonna learn from here what to use,what doesn't work and maybe expand on what I have coming,but I'll at least give it a try.Thanks you guys for the welcome.

Welcome to the forum ... from another newbie! Way to go on stopping the analogs ... especially after so many years!

may be someone might answer a question.what are the best batteries to get for this L-Rider Robust.it is being sent with 14500 batteries.Do they take any other type like the 18500 or am I stuck with just 14500 batteries.If so which are the best to get if I may ask.I see IMR and trustfires etc.and different mgh's like 700 900 and so on,I see high drain etc.so if I am gonna get the best bang which do ya suggest and what resistance works best in the rebuildables/clearomizers tanks,if I said it right for the unit.I see many things and it gets confusing like 1.8 ohm,2.4 ohm etc.This is what I need to learn.Thanks for any info/imput on this

Welcome. I'm another 40+ year smoker. I'd almost given up becoming an ex-smoker but by gawd these silly little eGo things work don't they? Amazing...
