This is my first post on the forum and I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful people here that post and share their experience for those of us who have no clue what we are doing. I arrived here in vape land quite on accident when I picked up a blu kit for those times I could not smoke. I was a 1-2 pack a day smoker and actually had given up on the idea of quitting (I am simply not into torturing myself and after many failed attempts just accepted that I am going to smoke).Well for all the hate blu gets it does serve its purpose for those like me. I started with the cherry and loved it. Yes the battery dies quick and no I didnt get anything resembling a throat hit but it tasted good ( better than a cigg) and while I was vaping without smokes I wasnt going through withdraw in the slightest so I saw the potential, over the course of the next few weeks my smoking actually dropped all by itself as I found myself willingly picking up my blu instead of reaching for my smokes most times and soon I was smoking maybe 4-5 a day but wow oh wow was them cartridges expensive so I got to thinking if I could refill them and that led to Google which led me here. When I surfaced a couple hours later all I knew was that I didnt know anything at all and I had a massive headache. Completely lost I ran away and back to my blue carts but something kept drawing me back and time and time again I came I read and struggled to comprehend. Once I realized I could read for a year straight and not come close to knowing all there was to know I decided to just grab a kit and jump on in. I bought a cigg look alike ( I really really didnt want to stick out like a sore thumb around here).I went with a joye 510 kit from Cigna with an extra 3 pack of batteries and thank you again everyone, Cigna like promised was and is awesome. I have since been playing with hardware and sampling juices from a local vendor (all about vapor) and online (velvet cloud vapor).Once I have my 510 perfected (I need it for work/stealth ect and well finances are finaces) I am going to order an ego twist for home and start DIY for my juice ( cant wait for these 2 ). I smoke a cigg here and there (bummed from bf) and I would say I average about 3 a week (singles not packs) but I am so not fretting that right now. I have been lurking here for about 2 months now and thought it about time I gave my thanks for all the information I have pulled from here as well as all that I still have to learn. This is an invaluable resource that I will always be thankful I tumbled across.
