noa
I'm usually not the one to accept support from people as I tend to deem it hokey cheerleading. However due to my employer frowning on use of reg cigs, I'm having to use the ecig again. In the past I will use the ecigs for about 4 weeks and get frustrated with attys and such and go back to the regs. My husband the other day bought me two disposable blu ecigs, and I had a great day one using only the blu. But now I'm on day two ecig and a day off away from work and I'm wanting a reg one. I can understand him saying I need to give things time, and I can have one if I start to act a little emo. I understand he wants me to do good, along with others. Any suggestions? I'm waiting on my atty for my lava tube to dry out, so again I'm using the throw away ones. I'm also confused as others here say pre filled cart styles are rubbish, over the other styles. This has also got me thinking the blu won't work? Input please. I'd later get the blu system but I don't want to buy something that's worthless. Also who here likes volcanos product? I'm hoping I can get through two days of ecig with no analogs, but I don't think I can.

I think if you had the "right" set up and liquid there's a good chance you'd feel no pull or less of one to cigarettes.

It took about 3 months... but for me it was an ego, lr 901 atties and boba's halo freedom and liquidxpress taboo... until I was able to suppress smoking for good. That was about 3 years ago.

now... not sure what the "right" set up for you is...

those pre-filled blus aren't rubbish if they are working for you now... just expensive ;-)

If you like those... here's my suggestion...

get some 801 standard cartomizers... and a 510 to 801 connecter - crank your lava tube up to 4.2-5.0 and vape your favorite liquid.

...and get an awesome drip tip. Drip tips are important... they can change the experience tremendously imo.

If Blu works for you, who can say otherwise? You can refill the cartridges they use.

As for the Volcano, can't say. just a different cig-a-like, the Blu is probably better.

You mention a lava tube. You only have 1 atty for it? Not sure what you have but most atties can be dry burned to dry it out quickly and be back to use.
There are other options you can use on top the lava tube. Cartomizers, clearomizers and tanks of various types.

All up in your grill..
I personally prefer cartomizers over atomizers. But have seen people be successful with both. I can't speak on specific vendors. But would recommend a minimum of 650mah if you plan to use only one battery. (ego size and really a 900mah would be better) Or at least 280mah if you plan to use mini's. (Commonly referred to as mega's. You'll need like 3-4) I wouldn't bother with super-mini's at all unless you plan on having a huge collection of them.

Note that the other alkaloids and chemicals present in commercially produced tobacco will be completely out of your system within a week. If you can make it that long vaping exclusively, it should get easier.

I was lucky and a friend handed me a variable volt mod (The buzz) to try out. I ignored it for months, then when he was asking for it back I decided to give it a go and see if I could switch. I also started out with 36mg nic juice, and a Cartomizer that was refillable. This made the switch very easy.

Now I am a week or more in on just vapeing and I have the Juice frenzy going on, soo many flavors to try!

I started with a joye 510 and an ego.
although I have other devices, these two are still what I use the most.
most people say the joye 510 is rubbish. I don't care, it works for me and I like it
I use a clear cart as my delivery system. most people say it is rubbish, I don't care, it works for me and I like it. get my drift? :)

if you are having to wait for batteries to charge and attys to dry, you need backups!
I do know someone in real life who uses and loves volcano products.

when I started I continued to smoke. when I wanted a cig I vaped, if I still wanted one after the vaping session I had it guilt free. for the first morning cig I delayed. first day I vaped for 10 min, then had the cig. next day vaped 20 min, etc. after about a week my first cig was at 1 in the afternoon, and so on until the first cig of the day was right before bed!

IMHO you should get over that "don't want support thing" :)
you don't say where you are located, but you might try checking out the location forums, maybe there will be a meet near you (meets are VERY helpful) or maybe just someone local who could help you out

Blu disposables are pretty good. Their disposable contains 24 mg nicotine.

The problem is that the Blu Premium 100 kit cartomizers prefilled have a MAXIMUM of only 16 mg nicotine.

It's kinda a bait & switch IMHO. I buy the Blu disposable & have a good experience. So I buy a Blu kit & don't know why I'm unsatisfied.

My satisfying switch was:
Kgo 1100 mAh + Smoketeck 1.7 ohm cartomizers with 24 mg nicotine.

Serielda, since you asked about the Volcano stuff, I am day four into a Volcano Inferno e-cig solution and am absolutely loving it. I smoked a pack a day of full flavored analogs and since I got this thing Monday afternoon, I've smoked six analog cigs and haven't touched them in two days. So if you are considering the Volcano solution, I give the Inferno a huge thumbs up here.
