Intro-Newbie w/many ?'s

[Heatherport]

Hey everyone, new here, on my third day of NO analog cigs (bear with me as I learn lingo, lol) . I initially started with Smoke-51 starter kit (which yes, I believed I was getting for $4.95...lesson...if it seems to goodto be true it is) but I didn't really start with that because the first one had a broken atomizer (abbreviation for that?) so I called the company (luckily...because that's how I learned I would be charged $99 fo kit.) They sentme new one which lasted about an hour at which point I decided they weren't for me, luckily I still had cigs in the house! I then researched online a bit...learned a bit more. Where I first saw PV's was at Foxwoods/MGM casino...I tried one, wish I knew which one it was because I really liked it. Anyway, so I ordered Cloud 9's starter kit, great price at $30...and I love the pink battery...I also got matching pink case. I got 5 cartomizer's and ordered 5 refillable cartridges and one atomizer and sample pack of juice. It seems you can refill cartomizers, which is cool. Seems to make more sense since atomizers are pricier? Am I missing something? When it came I spent two days smoking both so I could get analogs out of house, lol. Figured out fast I would need extra battery while mine is charging, that should come today, their shipping seems to be excellent. I then ordered the black Blu starter...wondered where the hell it was so called and foun out it wasback ordered @@. SO before I reorder white one which is in stock...should I? I like idea that it has pack that can charge on the go. I was going to order a greensmoke PV last night...but then read reviews and got confused. First I heard that was best one out there (also seems to be most expensive) and had the most vapor but it seems many people are unhappy with battery. Has anyone tried both Cloud 9 and Greensmoke...is there a big difference in Vapor? My 17 also wants to quit but she says she doesn't feel Cloud 9 has "big drag." I'm happy with it but now wonder if I'm missing somthing better, lol . Because of all these issues I am thinking I want to start myown store where I live so people like me can go test all brands!!!!! Any input much appreciated. Oh, and last night I saw I think on Wicked's site juice flavors making me salivate like banana...anyone tried these...are they as yummy as the sound? I'm not finding huge difference in flavors of Cloud 9's juice...but maybe don't have taste buds back yet ormaybe because I'm putting in prefilled menthol cartomizer's? All input appreciated, TIA!

Oh, and while talking to Blu rep. at 9 pm last night he actually YAWNED on phone, I said "did you just YAWN?" he's like "yeah, I always do this time of night." Very professional. I didn' want to keep him up placing new order!!

I wish you lived where I live now (Texas) instead of where I was born (Newport, RI) so you could open a store here TODAY. I am so confused, I have no idea where to start, and a store like that where knowledgeable people could direct you to the right e-cig for you...that would be awesome.

 

[Heatherport]

I agree...and with economy as it is I tink EVERYONE wants to quit. I was smoking Pall Mall menthol which here were $6.60 a pack (at Charlie's...end of my street...remember that?) Premium brand are above $8. I have an uncle in Lubbock.

 

[tarynwithat]

I smoke VaSlims, pay $60 a carton. Have a daughter going to college in 2 years so that money could be going in the bank. I keep seeing all these poster signatures showing how much they have saved. that could be me. if only i could figure out where to start!!!!

 

[Heatherport]

The last time I bought analog cigs was 9/19...6 days ago. So far I've spent $112 at Cloud 9 and I'm happy enough with what I have that I haven't bought analogs since I received my package...and today is day 3 no analogs. So that means in about 7 more days the ting will have paid for itself, if I'm doing my math right, lol, still having my coffee.

 

[Heatherport]

I smoked for approx. THIRTY YEARS. I'm ready to find the company and kiss the ground they do business on. And I think vaping is way more fun than regular smoking....cleaner...less stinky...less litter...less guilt...less cancer....the shopping fun seems to have no bounds, lol.

 

[tarynwithat]

So can you direct me to what to get for the first time? So that i won't get discouraged and give it up?

 

[Heatherport]

I HAVE to clean my house before kids come home this afternoon...but I'll be back...SO happy I found this place. Of course I'll have my PV w/ me...I carry this thing around like it's a pacifier. I probably wouldn't need ANY of this had I been brestfed, lol. Another plus....I can now smoke IN the house!!!!!

 

[Heatherport]

Well, other's may no better than me...but I ordered the pink starter kit for $30...plus a smaple pack of smoke juice...definately order one extra battery...I got a case, but youdon't NEED that, just nice to have....I think that's all you need to keep you going for a while, personally. I ordered the refillable cartridges and an atomizer but since you can refill the cartomizers I don't think that's necessary, so I think all in all, you would have to spend like $60? Check it out...cloud9smoking.com...enter my code, Heatherport and you'll also get 5% off.

 

[Heatherport]

Their shipping is pretty quick..I think if you're willing to spend like an extra $9 you can get it in 2-3 days?

Hiya! We've been vaping for a few weeks. Fiance did some research and we went with the Joye 510 manual kit from cignot.com Great starter and we've enjoyed them a lot. You can also get PCCs (personal cigarette charger, looks like a small pack) from cignot too. They have really good service. Batteries are reasonable and so are the attys (atomizer abbreviation) I've heard some bad and good things about the Blu. I just ordered the Riva 901 from liberty flights. It's a bigger battery, I'm hoping i like it. I've just went 24 hrs without an analog. My fiance has been 2 weeks without one. I immediately has slowed down to 3-4 a day but I finally think i've beat even that.

As far as juices, I use vaporbomb.com and we've tried quite a few flavors. YUMMY! Banana, Blueberry, French Vanilla, etc.. all good. Our favorites include Fire N Ice (Cinnamon with an icy undertone), V's fruit cooler, Mountain Mist, and Hypno Mist. There are alot of good juice companies out there but vaporbomb is my favorite.

Check through the vendor forums towards the bottom for places to check out. Read around for tips on mods and good companies. Join live chat and ask for advice/opinions! Everyone here is supernice. I enjoy it and good luck!

 

[Heatherport]

Thank you so much...I can't WAIT to try flavored juices!

Cignot is awesome; I send all my newbie converts there. Free shipping over $60, and the speed is LEGENDARY. Check out the "no box starter kit w/PCC"... $65, shipped. So far I've bought 5 of them for siblings & friends.

Also, before you spend a penny, be sure to check out MistressNomad's videos... they're a sticky here in the New Member's forum.

 

[Heatherport]

Okay, thanks. Since I'm having trouble getting motivated to clean...I'll check that out now. I had trouble getting motivated yesterday too. I think it's because I need ALL my energy to just not smoke right now!!!

 

[PaulB]

+1 on cignot.com, whether you go for the more cig-like in shape Joye 510 or the longer battery life of the eGo. And Mistress Nomad's starter videos will teach you a lot in a short, pleasant watch!

 

[Heatherport]

Okay, still busy trying to figure out how to post a banner?

 

[hiram13pm]

Amen, Paul... Vicki at Cignot is the bestest. Little known, but I found this out... if you ask pretty please with money on top, she'll next-day airmail. My boss ordered an eGo kit from her for his wife, who was going on vacation to see her chain-smoking mom. It cost him a few, but he placed the order around 11am on Monday, and wifey had an eGo in her hand by 2pm Tuesday. She's been clutching it like a teddy-bear ever since

What, you mean like a signature? That shows how long you've been vaping? Click on mine (or one of the others you like), and it'll take you to a "form" page. Fill that out, and it'll give you a line of HTML code. Copy that code and paste it into your signature here.... it's under 'settings', on the left you'll see 'edit signature'.
