My first 48 hours

[codeeighty]

Hello,
Actually my little story started on Tuesday morning when I ordered the 510 kit from Cignot, I got the one with two ecigs, the passthrough, charger, two bottles of juice, plus a bottle of Dr. pepper PG.
It was all there when I got home from work on Thursday, read the instructions while I scarffed down my supper eager to see if this was really going to work, haven't had a cigar since ( I smoked those filtered cigars for about the last ten years ) on Friday I took the PT and a charged 510 to work and vaped away all day with no issues at all, and most importantly no driving off the grounds to smoke and come back only to find that someone had bogarted my parking space, on an interesting side note my old smoking buddy came into my office upon returning from an analog break and I could smell him as soon as he came in.
That brings us to Caturday, vaping all day running errands, my battery died, almost panicked , and some part of my brain said quick get some cigars! but I held firm and went on home, replaced the dead BATT and copped a vape as I brought in the groceries.
So all in all I'm very pleased with the 510, still trying to decide if I like the VG or PG, and if your trying to decide on if vaping is the right thing to try, I'll say this, I have smoked for the better part of fourty years, and I love to smoke, I've tried to quit a few times but it never stuck, the last time I tried I spent way more on patches than my 510 kit cost.
Now all I need is some more flavors to try and one of those nifty banners from E-Cig Wiki.

At first, I thought you were trying to find leads, investigating a murder.. haha(I love that show).

That's a great start man. I'm sure you've already thought of ways to be prepared in the event that one battery dies again.

WTG codeeighty.......I hear ya on thinking about caving in....I have been smoke free since Dec 1st and I have to admit there has been 2 times I actually thought about a cig.....but then I just used my PV and all was good. I am a 30 year 2 pack a day smoker...so if I can do this and win....anyone can. It amazes me how wonderful this works...I just love it!!!!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping, as each day passes it get easier to
"run home for a battery" than go back to analogs.
(bigger batteries help too )

Still fighting the battle here, and had issues with consistency, with my KR808D-1. The prefilled juices and carto's were not the best. Many failures, and it seems now that I've collected a mess of used carto's and have been refilling my own, I am seeing no reason to continue smoking.
A little note. If it's the most vapor, you are after (I was) go with PG. Many companies have decent flavors. I'm now sold on Johnson Creek (a US made fluid). Others have other preferences, but Johnson Creek (for me) vapes very well, and the argument is that VG is weak on flavor hit. I haven't noticed.

Oh, and get a 2nd backup battery. I just bought my 3rd.

I've made it just over 80 hours since my last analog, and I'm doing pretty well. Thanks to my PCC I've not had any freak-outs due to a dead battery. I can leave the house in the morning with my 510, two fully charged batteries and the charged PCC and not worry about being left dry somewhere during the day. Also, the USB pass-through and drip-tip makes sitting at the computer and vaping away like a fiend a very easy proposition.

Welcome & congrats codeeighty. I have 4 batteries, and constantly have one charging on my laptop. I actually did have the moment when I realized I would RATHER vape than smoke. It meets my addiction!

Well done codeeighty, you could also get a lighter adapter for the passthrough for the car. Also attys, you can never have too many attys!!!

Props for sticking with it...Way better all around than analogs...

Welcome. Hang in there. You've only accomplished part of the battle. Finding your favorite vape juice is the hardest and most money spent. More PG in a juice, the sweeter and more flavorful it will be. VG is your vapor producer. I tend to stick to a 50/50 mix. PG is also a contributing factor of most allergic reactions (nothing severe) but can range anywhere from itch skin (that's what it does to me) to slight chest pain. To resolve this in my case, 50/50 suits me best. VG cuts down on flavor but produces more vapor, so keep that in mind. freedomsmokeusa is a great vendor and you can choose from about any mix that you want on most of their juices.

Next step is to get a bigger kit. Ego's have a 650mah battery. These last me about 3-4 hours and I vape heavily. Over 3ml a day at times. Riva's are 750mah batteries and last me 4-5 hours. On average, both kits last an average vaper all day. Like I said, I slurp the heck out of mine. Both of these kits can be found on liberty-flights.com. Click on the discount tab at the top of the home page and get the discount that's up there. Before you checkout, plug it in and get 20 percent off. Oh, both units are 510's other than you can purchase the Riva in a 901.

PG is also partially responsible for TH's along with the strength of nic that you're using.
