Life kinda falling apart right now, need help and can't make myself think for myself at the moment...

[Theodiskaz]

Hi. I'm brand new. Two weeks ago I studied here and determined I needed a starter kit of the type which is expandable, I think e 500, and I couldn't decide if the ones I was looking at included the the juice. I would like prefer something my wife wouldn't mind kissing, maybe mint. I dithered, and now my twenty-three year old daughter has just been diagnosed with cancer, and my mind is just blown, and it's hard to think. I must quit tobacco immediately. I smoked half a pack of cogs of full flavour cogs a day. Now I'm rambling. Will someone here please help me with a recommendation. I thank you for your kind consideration.

So sorry about your daughter. Yes, you do need to stop smoking. This is a good kit: http://www.myvaporstore.com/Vision_Spinner_Joye_Ego_C_Twist_Combo_p/vvs-c.htm You'll have to get a few bottles of juice to go with it but MVS has that too. Good luck!!

Some people find it's easier for them to cut back on the cigs and also vape until they can give up the cigs completely. Good luck to you and my best wishes for your daughter.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. My intention is to moniter this thread constantly, and as soon as a trend (hopefully) developes, run with it.

Thank you. I will consider it, and anyway probably must continue to suck these pieces of crap down til my package arrives.

If you have a local store they could set you up ASAP with something really fast. Otherwise E-Cigarette | Electronic Cigarette | Volcano E-Cig has great products and starter kits with very fast shipping and great customer support. I know many others will also chime in with other places that will have the same.

My condolences and good wishes to you and your family Theodiskas.

I am sorry to hear about your daughter. It is good to hear that you are still planning to follow through with switching to vaping at such a stressful time.

This is a great kit with the evod clearomizers. Variable voltage so you can fine tune the heat of the coils for different juices.


Kanger eVod Kit - Black This is also a nice kit without Variable voltage at a great price. It has 3.7v battery's which is right around where i set the voltage on my twist for the evods anyways.

As for juice i cant really help much there as I mix my own.

Hey, hang in there, my aunt was diagnosed as terminal, can't imagine having a child diagnosed. You will probably be happy with an ego battery like the twist mentioned above with some tanks. Very popular for beginners. I would agree with the suggestion to find a brick-and-mortar store if you can, but if there isn't any just shop around a bit. I believe you'll end up paying around $60-70 for a starter kit, but grab some extra tanks (or cartomizers if you like, or both), backups are essential. Also I've heard great things about the aforementioned evods!

Don't worry about spending $100-$150 as a startup, if you don't go buying new toys all the time, you'll be saving money soon.

theres a B+M finder somewhere on this site (use search tool) there may be a local store in your area that can get you set up

Thank you. Yeah, stressful. But if I can do something to stick around a little longer for the people who love me, I feel bound to. It's that daughter's little girls I watch while she finishes up school. I gotta man up about this.

Here's a great kit -- E cigs | Electronic cigarettes | Apollo Electronic cigarettes Apollo is a super company to work with -- great prices, super fast shipping, an outstanding warranty, and fantastic customer service! Just can't go wrong with'em!

Whatever you buy, make sure you allocate funds for backup equipment. That includes an extra charger. And it helps to find a local B&M close by in case of emergencies. Also, make sure you pick a nicotine level that is suited to what you usually smoke. Don't try to cut back just yet. With all the stress you are under, this isn't the time to cut back. Vaping will make a big difference already.

 

[Karmick]

My heartfelt condolences for the stressful news, but most of all congratulations on your decision to do something about it, for yourself &, mostly, your loved ones. It's true what they say that some bad things, even tragedies, are indeed opportunities in disguise.

Make it count. You will. And that's the key; your WILL to do it & stick with it. Along with the support of friends, family & the good, helpful & fabulously smart & knowledgeable ppl here on ECF. End of plug...;-)

Love & all the success & health for you & your family.

Theo, so sorry to hear about your daughter's situation. Hang in, and I'm sure many here will hope and pray that it is a treatable condition.

I wanted to post to say (and you've heard this before), "If I can quit cigarettes, anybody can quit."
This happens to be true. A couple of keys for the early stages of switching to ecigs that helped me:

1.) It has been said here---have multiple batteries and a charger available
2.) Have a couple of different kinds of juices available in a medium to high strength, maybe even a couple of packs of the pre-filled "cartos" (cartomizers). The pre-filled are very easy----just screw em on the battery and vape. No muss, no fuss.
3.) In the early days, if i was having a 'bad moment' (and I had VERY FEW......), lean on the vaping and the vapor more. Better to vape more than to turn to cigarettes. This is what got me through any 'rough spots' for sure. I had a couple of 'dizzy' episodes where I probably got a bit more nic than I was used to, but I did not feel any need to turn to a cigarette.

You should find that the vaping should eliminate the nicotine cravings, and best yet, with a choice of a couple different flavors. (I was around heavy smokers just days after I started vaping, and COULD NOT BELIEVE that I did not have any real craving for a cigarette. I just kept my ecig supplies very close, and that is IT!!!) It takes just a couple of days to get into the groove, then you're good to go. This will work for you if you let it. Say goodbye to the old way and welcome in the new way. That's all it is......

Hang in, and all the best. Sincerely hope all goes well for you and your family......

Theodiskaz,

Really sorry about your daughter!!

Hey Theo! So sorry to read about your daughter!! I'm praying that she has a full & speedy recovery!

I won't be repetitive so what has been mentioned before are all great starters! Ego, go go, k go etc... Are all the most popular starter kits. Make sure you order extra tanks with whatever you purchase & several small bottles of juice from different vendors to help you decide what you like. I'd also recommend ordering one bottle of higher mg juice. For example I vape at 18mg of nic but I had a bottle of 24mg for stressful times & those hard to cut out cigs (the one with my morning coffee, after dinner or when it felt like the world was just falling down around me). Please keep us posted on what you decide to purchase & if you have anymore questions!
