Osage,

I smoked menthol lights as well. I had smoked for 35 years. The e-cig is such a blessing to me, but there is a learning curve involved. First one I tried, WFS was OK for about one day, but I still wanted a cigarette. Then I got a Joye 510 manual battery. This has worked for me. I got a starter kit at ecigexpress.com for a little over 50 bucks and a bottle of 24 mg menthol juice. The starter kit come with regular tobacco cartridges so you will have to get through that and then top off your cartridge with the menthol. I am as addicted to menthol as nicotine....lol....hang in there and do alot of research and you can make this work for you. After awhile I came to enjoy vaping in a way that I never did smoking, and I now have hope that I will not be one of those little old ladies pulling around an oxegen tank, smoking a cigarette.

Good Luck and God Bless

Hi, I been smoking for 30+ years and tried the electronic cigarette about month ago and completely quit analogs about 2 weeks ago. I have tried most of the quit smoking methods but none of them worked until now.

I am originally from Texas but been living in Oklahoma for 20+ years. I live in between Atoka and Antlers.

Hi, I'm in far Southeast OK, which seems more like Arkansas, if you've been here! Anyway, just found this site because I want to get some ecigs, but don't know the best one to try. Any suggestions? I can say I currently smoke about half to 1 full pack per day, menthol lights. I SO want to quit; tried Chantix twice it worked, but went right back when the stress levels went up. Give me some suggestions!!! I'm ready!

I am so sorry I just now found your post. It was hiding at the end of the last page. Welcome. There are so many options available. I don't think there is one perfect ecigarette that is the right one for everyone. I quit with the ecigs after over 40 years of heavy smoking. Over 2 packs a day. I had to try several before I found what was just right for me. I like 6 volts. Most every one likes the 510. It wasn't my favorite but it was a good one. I really wish I could give you some good advice. I would tell you to jump in and get a good mod but then a lot would disagree on that advice. Best wishes. I know I didn't help you a bit I am sorry.

Welcome. I smoked for over 4o years. Ecigs made it easy to quit for me.

Hello.

I am Stuart. i am good friends with Heather, and i live in Down Town Tulsa. I have been ecigging for I think about 2 months. I love it. I still smoke analogs, but way less than I used to. I used to smoke about 30+ filterless analogs a day. I am now doing that in a week..

I still smoke around smoking friends, so I don't have to smell them. For those having trouble giving up analogs and want to, I recommend buying some of the high nic juice, and mix it strong with vg - which is about $2 from hobby lobby (Look in the cake mix section). I started w/ the 36 mg pillbox 38 from totally wicked, and just ordered some 60 mg from nhaler. I mix it up to be strong and then I can use it to hit the cravings. a second bottle weaker for my 'chain' vaping at my desk, either here at work or home.

I have a 510. And a PCC and usb pass through. I think I am going to try some battery mods to have more power...

And about me. I am a british national, divorced, like long walks on the beach, and dont take my self to seriously.

Hey Stuart, you finally joined!

This forum sure is quiet so I will tell a story it involves e-liquid sort of so guess it qualifies to post here.

My daughter and her husband is down visiting they have been here over 2 weeks now. I introduced my son-in-law to vaping and he loves it as much as I do.

Today I overheard my daughter and husband talking about my craft room. My husband was telling my daughter I get mad when somebody messes with stuff in my craft room. My daughter told him, "I don't go in there unless mom is teaching me crafts or doing crafts with me but she hasn't been doing that, she has been having more fun with my husband coming up with recipes for their electronic cigarettes."

I thought it was funny in a way but I have been neglecting my crafts in favor of playing with my new "toy".

I'm from the Broken Arrow area.

I will be getting my 510 in the mail today or tomorrow, it will be my first vaping experience. If you guys have any pointers or suggestions for what I should get to help me start out juice wise, please let me know!

Casey, tell us what you bought exactly. Did you buy extra juice, attys, etc?

All I got to start was a Joye 510 kit and a small sample bottle of Marlboro E-Liquid, I am planning on getting more juice first most likely.

Well we have two great suppliers who are local.
Check out alternasmokes.com and vaporkings.com
I get a lot of juice from Steve at alternasmokes, and he is very fast, and has great liquid. I particularly like his chocolate, caramel, risque' and mega mint.
I haven't bought as much from vaporkings, but what I did get was also good, and got here fast.
Hope this helps... and don't skip buying a few extra attys.

How long do the 15ml bottles generally last, should I stock up on them or just play it by ear?

Totally depends on how much you vape. I go through a couple a week. Some will do more and some less. But just keep it in the back of your mind that you can't run down to the Quick-Trip at the corner and buy a bottle, like you were used to with ciggys. So keep some in reserve.

Hello everyone. My name is Jeremiah and I live in Moore. I just recently got into vaping after me and my dads business fell through. I haven't smoked since March 10th but was about to lose it after my wife picked up the habit again about a month ago. I quit because I had breathing problems and I refused to smoke cigarettes again but was craving nicotine like no other.

I came here because I had an interest in vaping since seeing Smoking Everywhere(I know they are evil) in the mall. I came across an Njoy Npro kit at a Pilot station in Yukon for $49 bucks so I snatched it up along with a pack of carts. I pretty much fell in love since then and have been reading countless posts and reviews about different products. I finally found interest in the Joye 510 and ordered a kit from Cignot and picked up some 555 juice from V4L. (can't wait till they arrive!)

I don't really like my Npro at all for many reasons. It isn't very consistent and is terrible when using cartridges. I finally decided to extract all the liquid from the carts and start dripping and its been a bit better but the consistency isn't that great. Not to mention the Pilot station only had menthol (bleh). I ran by the local headshop and picked up some Joosy Fruit flavoring and it made the menthol taste great.

I know it's been asked but has someone found a place to get juices or kits locally (besides Pilot or the scammers at the mall)? I may be interested in stocking up on some Joye 510 kits and liquid if there is actually people that would be interested in getting stuff locally. My dad and I are working on opening a smoke shop (mainly pipes/incense ect.). I would love to stock some of the nicer kits (510/M401/DSE801/901) as long as there would be people interested. Anyway it's not something set in stone yet and the details are gonna be worked out. I sure don't want to come off as a supplier in my first post because i'm far from it lol.



As soon as my 510 kit and juice gets here i'll probably post my impressions on the review part of the forum. Look forward to posting more and getting to know some people.

Sorry for the drawn out post haha, I just felt like after lurking for so long I needed to catch up

Hey all I'm James from coweta (though I spend everyday in tulsa) I'm 18 I started smoking at 14 and was able to change to cigars and actaully quit but the reason I quit wasn't for health or expense but because I hated how dirty cigarettes were! My clothes, my hair and everything else smelled like smoke! Plus you could never smoke when you really wanted to. I've vaped before one a friends and have a innovapor 510(kinda annoy that I ordered it on friday and it only shipped on tuesday) on it's way in the mail along with a nice selection of liquid from another dealer and can't wait to be able to vape where I want and when I want without being treated like a .... addict. Also on a sidenote does anyone know anyone local to the tulsa/coweta/claremore area that sells eliquid or 510 atomizers I hate waiting for mail.

Vaporkings is based in Tulsa I believe. People say they ship fast and im sure it would only take a day to get to you.

Sweet thanks extreme vapor. I can't wait to try this thing at magoos.

alternasmokes is in Claremore, and he is also very fast, and has great juices.
Nice guy, too.
