AND I FREAKING LOVE IT!!
So, last night I took a load from N.E. Okla. down into north Texas and back. I left with a box of fine Dominican cigars and a brand new pack of Marlboro's, which remains unopened. I searched around on the forums and figured out how to get my no-name el cheapo truck stop bought menthol e-cig working again.
I used it all night long. Keep in mind that I really don't smoke that much. I smoke a pipe more than anything, cigars second, and an occasional cigarette. I do it mostly to pass the time while driving and to keep from snacking on every damn thing in my truck fridge. I do like the complex flavors of some non aromatic pipe tobaccos the best, but pipe smoking is a pain. Packing the pipe properly, getting it lit properly, keeping the friggin' thing lit without getting second degree burns in your mouth, etc. It's almost not worth the effort. Cigars are easier, but I don't enjoy the flavors quite as much. Cigarettes are the ultimate laziness for me. It passes the boredom, but I only enjoy the first drag or so, and after half a pack, I'm pretty much sick of them. Start over with the pipe. I'm done with cigarettes. I might smoke the occasional good cigar, and I will occasionally enjoy puffing on the pipes, but I'm really going to be a vaping fiend, I think.
This e-cig was the bomb, though. Super simple. Just pick it up and drag. Not at all harsh, although I am not really craving the throat hit, just the flavor and the vapor. I think I'll order e-juice with little or no nicotine. That's not the part I'm after. Is that crazy? No feeling all jacked up, even though by morning I was pretty much chain vaping. I bought the menthol e-cig because that's what they had. I've never liked menthol cigarettes. I guess the reason I liked the menthol e-cig is that I was thinking of all the flavors I could get without them being ruined by the smoke. If you've ever smoked a pipe, you know that the most wonderful smelling aromatic pipe tobaccos are just that...good smelling. They taste awful, smoke too hot, and can ruin a pipe if you aren't careful. They are very enjoyable for everyone in the room, except for the guy smoking.
I never got tired of the minty vapor. If I had smoked a cigarette or cigar as much as I vaped last night, I'd have felt horrible right now. Coughing, stinking, nasal passages clogged, headache, heart racing, lung hurting. Not so today. IN fact, (taking break here while taking long, deep drag from e-cig) I still have full tasting ability, my nasal passages are wide open, and I got home a little before daylight and kayaked 12 miles before coming in to post this. Awesome.
I'm thinking that if this pre loaded no name e-cig was good, how good is a quality device with the e-juice of my choice going to be???
After many advising to the contrary, I still think I want an automatic device. I just don't want to push a button. Although, I'm really liking the looks of the eGo. I have a few flavors picked out that I want to try and I'm really looking forward to it!!
