Well I started an account here to ask a simple question but it turns out I need no less than 5 (FIVE) posts in the noob forum to post anywhere else, so I figured I'd start with an introduction.
I have officially been vaping for just a month now. I quit smoking smoking the day i received my KR808D, which absolutely amazes me. Prior to that I smoked 1-2 packs of camels (filtered full-flavor, but sometimes non-filters) a day. I really loved my cigarettes and had little faith that an electric gizmo could get me to quit, but it sure did!
I first saw e-cigs back in 2007 at the little Israeli stand in the mall. Having been burned several times at the Israeli stands, I instantly assumed it was a gimmick and wrote off e-cigs for a long time. That said, I always said I would quit smoking when my first kid was born...
Last October (eleventy-four years before I expected it to happen) I had my first daughter. Subsequently I tried half-heartedly to quit, but quitting cigarettes and dealing with the changes of becoming a father do not go hand in hand, especially if you don't really want to quit.
I had weened off to half a pack a day by late april, but with much frustration. Shortly thereafter, stress at work shot me back up to over a pack a day. I had just about given up on quitting when...
In mid-may, I spotted a woman at the smoke pit at work with an e-cig. Having always been mildly curious, I approached her and asked about it. She told me that she had been a 3-pack a day smoker, and with e-cigs she had quit in 2 weeks.
I didn't miss a beat, I spent the rest of the day researching e-cigs. Between the story she had told and realizing how much cheaper they could be, I ordered a V2 KR808 a few hours after talking to her. (At that point I wasn't aware that all e-cigs are made in china and I could have gotten the same thing for half the price.)
My V2 arrived on May 26, and I have been smoke free (sans 1 camel just to realize they are awful 2 weeks later) ever since. I've moved on a bit from the V2 though.
By a week into the V2 I realized the 1 Carto = 1 pack marketing line was BS. I was going through 4-5 cartos a day! At that rate switching was barely saving me 50 cents a day. Not what I had in mind. I found ECF and quickly realized that my best bet was an Ego-Twist Type B. I ordered that week and I really love it. I now use a pair of twist batteries (usually at 4.2 volts) with an LR ego-c atty and an ego mega tank full of Longbottom Leaf.
Not only that, but for fathers day I gave my dad a KR808 kit. He has smoked 2-3 packs a day for over 30 years. After just 2 weeks he was down to half a pack a day. I now have a real hope of seeing my dad pass 70, which is probably the greatest thing yet for me.
Anyways, I wanted to drop my question in just in case someone here can answer it:
Does anyone know of an Ego Rapid Charger that uses colors other than Red/Green to display charge status? I am Red/Green color blind and can't tell when my Batt is fully charged to save my life. In fact, I didn't even know it changed colors until my wife said something about it this weekend. Looking for something that has a blue LED or an LED that turns off when it charges. Doesn't really matter as long as you don't have to tell the difference between red and green.
