First of all, thank you for all of the info I've found here.
I really had never heard much about e-cigs, except for the basic conceptual prototypes years ago.
I've done some reading of the stickies, and some threads, and have a basic idea of what direction to go, but I could really use a little push in the right direction.
I've been able to push myself down to 4-10 marb ultra-lights a day, without any issues, and I've "quit" for a few days in-a-row at times.
My SO however does still smoke, and while she's been doing a great job reducing her intake, I end up smoking more on the days we're together (thus the days where I sometimes smoke 10, instead of 4). This has made it very difficult for me to really make the next step. Just to be straight, I place no blame on her, it's my free will that I join her when she steps out to smoke, just like it was my free will to start when I was a teenager (we only smoke outside, and to clarify, I've been a smoker for about 20 years, with a peak of about 3 packs of marb red per day).
It seems that something like the vapor4life vaporking would be a good fit for me; to go to the next level. Often I really just want one or two puffs in the morning during my commute, and a couple on the way home. I generally look forward to a whole cigarette when we chat on the phone in the evening, and one before bed. When we're together, we sort of enable each other, thus increasing the intake.
I like the idea that the re-fillable cartomizers for the vaporking would be cheaper than the pre-filled, and allow me to swap flavors. I may even try ones that I wouldn't prefer as much, just to reduce the psychological desire to take a puff.
What are your suggestions for a starter setup, and do the "blanks" really work well? I read some of the thoughts on nicotine suggestions, but because I'm so sporadic with some days having almost no intake, to some days being a mild smoker, I'm not really sure where to start on either pre-filled, or blank carts. I do still have a physical dependence, but it's become mostly a psychological issue, and the idea of being able to move to an ultra low concentration, or at some point a non-nicotine level, entices me very much.
Once I'm done quitting, I would like to pass the e-cig on to her, in order to help her along as well. Anything overly complicated like modding would be right out the window, as she would probably not be interested in all of that, or on the other hand it might turn into too interesting of a hobby for her to stop (ie. she might really enjoy vaping and increase her intake).
I'm looking mostly to find out what a suggested starter kit should include, for say a month or two of steady state use, at my levels, as well as any suggestions for tapering off.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
