Hello everyone!
I have been a lurker here for quite some time. I have smoked for 15 years and only started because I wanted to impress a boy. 15 years later, my awful habit ramained and the boy was looooong gone, lol. Of course, i tried many times to quit, with no success. A year ago, I purchased and enjoy ( a lovely piece of crap) at my local gas station and grew frustrated and went back to smoking only days later.
I stumbled upon this site and have been grateful ever since. I have not spoken to anyone here, but have been silently following the advice, opinions and tips and tricks from forum members.
Fast forward, I am now a proud and happy owner of the Tornado. I sigh and shake my head as I pass those mall kiosks that sell their overpriced kits and $40 little bottles of juice. If it wasn't for the information on here, I never would have known.
I have been analog free now for 8 days. Yes, I know, not a long time, but alot longer than I had been on the enjoy and a 901 (kiosk, ugh!). Thank you, because without this forum, I never would have known or been able to be analog free.
Now, a real quick question.......(I did try to look it up in the search but found conflicting answers, so I thought I would give it a shot here)
Many people say that with the tornado, the hit/draw is the same from the first untill the last when the battery goes dead. I dont find this true for me. I feel that my last hour or so, the draw/hit is quite a bit weaker, and to be, that is my indication that my battery will be dying soon. Do I need to wait untill my battery is completely dead and the light blinks at me, or would it be alright if I went ahead and charged it?
Thanks again for everything!!

It's good to recharge Li-Ion batteries frequently, they don't have a "memory" effect. The only thing is that you don't want to store them in a fully charged state, but that's a different matter. When you notice its losing power... perfectly good time to recharge.

Congrats on using your patience to give ecig another chance, that's the right move to do, your body will thank you in a couple of years! As everyone is saying, the batteries we have now can be charge anytime, no need to use them until they're dead.

There was a good post about batteries, I tought it was in ECF library but I can't find it anymore :(

Anyway, happy surfing on ECF and happy vaping :)
