I found you today!

Hi everyone,

This has to be decision time.

I have smoked for 35 years and it has increased to about 30 per day over the last few years. I have been reading through tonight and have come to the conclusion that I am going to buy a DSE901 Black mini e-cig.
Do you think the 16mg would be OK for me?
Also what do you recommend as far as spares are concerned?

 

[Kimmiegrif]

901 is a great choice. I can't say what nic level. what cigs do you smoke?

 

[katarzyna]

I smoke Berkeley or Superkings Blue

that might help the more experience give you some direction. I am a stupid American, I don't know those brands but I am sure some of the more savvy posters do. Glad you found us. My initials before I got married was KAT. Now its KAG ugh!

Hi Kat, welcome to the forum.

16mg should be fine to start with, if anything it will give you a bit more nicotine than you are used to so you might want to plan to reduce it a bit as you get used to esmoking.

Good luck, I hope you enjoy it and it meets your expectations.

Kat its Kit hehe welcome and congratulations on seeing the light and giving up the cancers sticks,i would sugest 36mg i dont think 16mg will be enough..on 16mg you will have it permantly welded to your lips trying to get your fix..36mg matches a cigarette imo
good luck !

How many ml per day do you calculate that on Kit?

Hi Katarzyna well done . I would recommend 555 flavour juice or carts, as I think this closely resembles that filter cigarette taste. And the amount that you smoked I would say 16 to 18 mg.I personally think that the 36mg is to much to start, as e cig are supposed to be more efficient at delivering nicotine than real cigs. If you don’t like the 18mg you could always increase the next time you buy, but if you start on 36mg you wont to go down to 18mg. But that’s entirely up to you .
Good luck with staying off the cigs, to be honest you should not need it because this to me is the easiest way to quite. This e cig malarkey can seem a little tricky when you start out but its well worth it, and you will pick up some excellent tips and tricks from the seasoned pros on this forum, they have certainly helped me.

Thank you all for your replies. I am ordering today so will get back to you later. Feeling a bit nervous about this step really, I've tried patches and the dummy cigs with carts but they felt like I was sucking on air...no taste at all.

Kat,

I am also new to e-cigs, got my 901 black about 2 weeks ago and am extremely pleased with the results.

I originally started with a Gammuci ( super mini ) style which looked great but didn't perform very well as there was a distinct lack of vapour.

Now the 901 produces clouds of the stuff ( got mine from The Electronic Cigarrette Company ) along with some liquid and some free carts.

In my personal opinion I prefer to drip the liquid as opposed to the carts as as they tend to dry out quicker and most of the liquid is wasted unless you get your hands dirty and squeeze them out.

Anyways just my opinons !

welcome aboard Kat and slice ,
When ordering your first starter kit i would also add at least 1 spare atomizer and a bottle of e-liquid. that's a minimal starter kit really.

I'm sure like most of us here, you'll get the bug and end up buying lots of toys anyway.

7slicetoaster...great name btw

I find the Marlboro-imitation flavors from most different brands are very sufficient for the newbie. Once your out of newbie stage, you dont even remember what the tobacco taste was, or even why you liked that gross flavour compared to what e-smoking offers.

Hi and Welcome kat. I smoked a little over a pack a day of what I consider strong full-flavor smokes, and I am getting more nicotine today using 18mg Marlboro. I realize that I am puffing more than I did/should, but I would say 16/18 is a pretty good start. Once you develop a pattern, you can decide if you are getting too much nic, and you can cut it with glycarin, or flavorings (extracts). If you get too low a nic level, you can't increase it, but if you get too high a nic, you can cut it down.
