"Insert witty new guy title here*

[DonInKansas]

I see that new people give a short intro here, so here it is. I'm in Kansas and looking to learn more about ecigs to kick my nasty smoking habit so my two kids (4 and 8) will stop giving me grief about smoking. Looking to go the affordable and easy route since my job has me behind the wheel for the majority of a 10 hour shift, so looks like I'll be diving in headfirst into threads. Thanks for all of the great information, everyone!

Welcome from a fellow newb! It's a great place!

Welcome and congrats on the switch. I'm kinda new here too, but I'm learning the ropes. Super nice and knowledgable people here!

Welcome to the forum, Don

! Congrats on listening to those smart kids you've got and making the big switch! A lot of folks find that the ego twist or vision spinner (essentially the same) is a great battery to start with. I'd recommend trying a small variety of clearos to put on top of it, as people have a major variety of favorites with those. As for cartos, my personal favorite are the 1.7 ohm single-coil ones. If you like 'em, you can put them in a tank. Here's a link to one of Baditude's excellent blog posts on that option - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/3710-5-cartomizer-tank-setup.html. Getting a number of juice samplers is also essential, as you will stick with it if you find something particularly tasty. You'll quickly see some of the favorite vendors with a quick spin around the forum. Please come back with any and all questions that might pop up along the way, as we're all very happy to help you with the transition. Happy vaping!

I totally agree with everything BeckyBlue said! And Welcome to the Forum and to the wonderful world of Vaping! It's so much fun!
After smoking for 30 years, I never thought I would kick the habit and actually enjoy something even more than smoking!

 

[MiamiMom63]

I would follow the recommendations that Becky Blue said and not get a variable voltage mod or Provari yet. It can be quite confusing to a new person to vaping, plus it's very expensive.

 

[Haktuspit]

This is my usual kit that I recommend to newbies. Actually I'm still pretty new myself and haven't ever really moved past this.

Welcome to the forums!

I used to drive for a living, up until about 3 weeks ago. I found a quality automatic to be prefect while being behind the wheel.

Good luck.

 

[nicgnostic_777]

Hey I'm new too...hopefully this forum can help with transitioning, etc.

 

[WickedSick]

Welcome to the forum and congrats

 

[Magentadaisy]

This place seems to be a ton of help (noob here as well.) I think you'll be surprised at the great changes you will make!

 

[DonInKansas]

This is basically what I'm looking for. Just seems to be a ton out there and it's hard to tell what's quality.

you want to Quit? Toto I have a feeling we are still in Kansas. the inferno from volcano ecigs got the job done for me. it all depends on how much you want to spend to save your life. it's worth it whatever you decide.

 

[MiamiMom63]

If you want a cig lookalike, I recommend the Volt. I'm not sure but thought you referred to wanting an automatic and if that's the case, that is about the best you can get. I still think though that when you sit down at night and no one is around, you will prefer an ego type batt for the stronger hit and vapor. Eventually if you are like the majority of us, you will only get fulfillment from the bigger batts and not care at all what people think. Lol.

 

[MiamiMom63]

I have Volts for certain public situations. As soon as I get in my car, I'm whipping out my Provari. Lol.

 

[Grimwald]

When I'm on a long road trip, I use a passthru battery (an X2 from smokless image), or just a straight passthru. These connect to a usb adapter in the cigarette lighter. That way you don't have to worry about running down your battery. As long as you have juice and cartos, you're good to go.

 

[riixxii]

Hard to go wrong with an ego/clearo setup. Cheap, work good and you can save a few$$ while you're looking at higher end stuff, lol
