I'd rarely use mine, would that cause problems?

[Claasy]

Unlike the average person on the board, I'm not a habitual smoker. I like having a couple cigarettes when I'm out with my friends on the weekend, and that's about it. So basically if I bought an e-cig, it'd only get used a couple times a week.

Would I have to worry about anything? The atomizer going a week without any use, drying out, etc. The liquid in a cartridge going bad.. The liquid drying out / causing problems assuming I just drip instead of using cartridges.. Cleaning issues, etc etc.

I have never used an e-cig nor seen one in person, so I really don't know what to expect. I've been reading up all over the board, but haven't seen a question quite like mine yet. Thanks!

You will probably need to top off the batteries and fluid whenever you do use it, but should not cause any problems.

I cant see that there would be any problems... I have some that sit way more than weeks without being used... and when I pick them up they are just fine... I have to prime them a bit (push button ... take a hit blow out take a hit ... others are better at explaining) and drip at lest one drop to be sure the atty is wet... but no other trouble I have ever noticed

I let an atty sit for a couple weeks and had to prime it again to get it working.

I just picked up my 401, that I haven't touched in a week or two. A fresh batt and a couple of drops on the atty and it's all good. It's a good out and about unit. I think the exposed atomizer would be good for what you want. The carts wick well and the batteries have a decent life. Easy to dip and not flood the atty.

Thanks guys, I'll keep your advice in mind. Time to decide on the right e-cig. I keep hearing that newbies will love the 510 or 901, but don't know if it'll make any difference for my usage

I've had my 4081 sitting cart down loaded with juice and a charged battery for at least two weeks. I just picked it up and started vaping away, still working great.

I prefer the 510 manual model by far over the 901 auto model.

Since you are such a light user and only for social outings..I would go very low on the nic. The 510 is very popular. I use the 901..but am changing to a 901 manual. I also have mods, but then I am a heavy vaper..the only thing that amazes me is that all of my models aren't in my mouth at once!
Good luck to you! Welcome to ECF!

Thanks Mary, I was planning on going either low to 0 nic. I'm not sure if while out with my friends my favorite thing about smoking is just smoking, or the nicotine buzz. Conversation just seems to flow so much better when we're smoking vs when we're not
