It's here!

[Cyia]

My brand new JOYE 510 just arrived and I couldn't be happier! Hooked it all up and took my first suck on it and of coursed hacked like a newbie! XD Now I'm letting it charge. -does a dance- How much time is it really necessary to charge the battery? is the fill 8-9 hours really what it needs?

 

[Houdini]

When the charger light turns green it's done. Any more time on the charger after that does nothing. Enjoy!

Houdini's right. Those directions about charging for 8 hours the first time are "left over" conventional wisdom from the NiCad battery days. Lithium Ion batteries have no "memory" so the initial long charge doesn't apply.

edit - nevermind...im thinking of the wrong product >.< my apologies.

Congratulations and welcome to ECF. Lots of reading to do here and lots of people to help. Good job on the 510.

sounds good. Just waiting for my green light now <3

A watched pot never boils. Just go smoke your last analog and when you get back, the light will be green.

 

[potholerepairman]

If you blow on the end of the 510 the light will turn green faster.

just kidding , could not resist do forgive me, it wont take long really.

Took me many times with trial and error to figure out how to use it lol. This is what I do:

Hold the button down for 2 seconds, then suck the vapor into your mouth and then inhale it when you think u have enough vapor. When I was smoking regular cigarettes, i would inhale it straight to my lungs, with e-cigs (for me at least) i have to drag it into my mouth first and then inhale it.

ya i did the stupid newb move the first intake and about coughed a lung out lol. but i tried the mouth then inhale thing and it's working great! It's going to take a day or so to get used to that.. instead of suck inhale and exhale.

Oh and i just cleaned off my comp desk which was covered in ashes, old analog boxes and so forth and i just removed my last pack from my view. I am throwing it all out and sayin good bye XD

One reason you might want to take the pack out of the trash is that vaping can cause initial problems just for the first little while as you get use to it.I would never advice smoking but you might want to hold on just in case you get serius dry throat initially or hicups or a few others I cant think of.I got the stuffed up nose thing that really scared me bad but it only happened once or twice the first few times vaping and in 9 months has not returned.Anything that is new the body may react to .Dont want to be a buzz kill but if you see it happening you wont be a wondering.It only happens to a small small percent of vapers.

In that case... it wouldn't hurt to put my eGo battery on the charger whether or not it's depleted when I'm ready for bed? I was worried about decreasing the life of the battery since that's most of the reason I got it to begin with.

 

[HeatherC]

Ohhh yeah and wtg cyia... and good luck with it LOL

ya i kept my last 4 analogs and just hid them from view in case of problems that I or hubby might have. I'm more fearful of the withdraw symptoms more than anything lol

Congrats and I cant wait to hear what you have to say about the 510. That is the one I am looking at buying in the near future.

Just be careful. Like for example as u vape instead of smoke you might find yourself coughing ALOT this is NOT from vaping it's from your lungs cleaning themselves out from the analogs... I have read things about ppl getting frustrated by this and going back to analogs...which does eliminate the immediate problem becuz it goes back to doing what it did before blocking the cilia in your lungs from moving. There are other symptoms that can make people think these aren't working for them causing them to give up... when it's just a matter of getting through it. I didn't WANT to quit when I started these I HAD to... I had or have pleurisy and it hurt to breath. My husband on the other hand had no desire to quit and didn't for the first week... now he's about a week behind me smoke free but he still occasionally bums an analog from friends...
Be patient with yourself! These PVs definitely make it easier to quit but that's not saying it's easy at all. (sorry for the LONG rambling I just can't seem to shut up LOL)

 

[potholerepairman]

If you inhale thru your nose that may not be a great thing to do in the beginning cause of dryness , have seen that on here a few times too.Good luck.

Thanks so much for the heads up. I am a dumb smoker. I want to smoke, but due to my asthma and seasonal allergies, and allergies to cut grass and so forth my sinuses are a mixed jumble of crap. And I like smoking, but it really was getting harder to breathe as of lately. So I''m hoping even if i have to puff 1 analog a day, it will be 10 times better than the 25 i was doing before today.

And coughing up crap is nothing new to me lol I would actually welcome it if my lungs start to not feel so heavy.

 

[HeatherC]

Guess my main point was is there MAY be a few weeks that it actually feels worse but it sounds like you're ready for that!
