First of all, it's good to see that there's such a great forum like this. It's a real help for newbies like me to get information.

I'm sure that I started out like a lot of folks -- wondering if this 'new' thing would help me quit smoking. I did a little research here; found a reputable supplier, and ordered a starter kit. I got the Yeti-C starter kit from altsmoke. Nice guys. Fast order processing and shipment. I got the kit on Wednesday of last week. I charged up the batteries, put on a cartomizer, and took my first long, deep draw. Now, I smoked a pack and a half of Newports a day for 25 years. I didn't expect what I got off of the Yeti... This thing hit me like a sledgehammer. I mean, I really hit it hard. I coughed like crazy. Did it taste like a Newport? No. Was it acceptable? Absofreakinlutely. I hoofed this thing 'till it went dry, then I got a mouthful of my first burnt cartomizer... I have a feeling most folks only do this once. It's kinda like inhaling a mouthful of S*#t with a halls cough drop mixed in. I had ordered extra carts, and extra menthol juice, so I topped off the remaining cartos and have been vaping my face off ever since. I haven't had a real cigarette since the e-cig touched my lips.

One thing that I came to realize on day 2 of this adventure is that I think I'm what is considered a 'heavy vaper'. I constantly have it in my hand and hit it like there's no tomorrow. The net of it is that I'm constantly charging these little batteries - sometimes 3 times each per day. I ordered my first mod on day 3. A Provari. I have high expectations for it. In the meantime, I'll be crushing these little 510 batteries.

On day 5, I went to order some more juice from another reputable vendor, and realized that this particular supplier is less than 2 miles from my office! I consider myself lucky... After an introductory phone call, Joe from ivape.net stopped by my office and took the time to introduce me to more of these products. I bought a bag full of extra juice and carts from him. I'm *really* loving his product.

Anyway, just wanted to share my first experience for anyone else who might be considering quitting cigarettes. This works. Period. I'm the proof.

-- Thanks!

Hi and welcome to ECF. You and I are a couple of lucky dudes. You've got ivape.net, I've got VaporBomb. They're only 15 miles from my house. Most people aren't so lucky and have to actually order their stuff online and have no safety net if they run out. I think most people vape their heads off when they first start but settle down after a while. I know I did. Now I vape off and on all day long and go through about 3 ml of juice each day, which is about average from what I've seen here on the forum. If you think those little 510 batt's hit hard wait till you try VV. You can pretty much customize the hit you get. But I'd suggest you get a few extra atty's before you start using it in case you get over zealous and fry a couple.

I was gonna DIY myself, but with Joe so close .... not so worried now. One thing I did today was switch cartos from the Boge's over to the ceramics.. I got a box of E2 V4 XL's off of Joe, filled one with his menthol juice, and put it on one of my little 510 batteries at 9:00 this morning. The battery just died - and it's 4:15 here. I don't know if it's his juice, the carto or both but every other day this week, I'd be on my 3rd or 4th battery by now. Nice. Also, I put 1.5ml in the carto, and it's still going -- I'm switching it to a new one tho as it's getting weak. I'll fill these up again tonight. This is great!

Haha! And wow a juice supplier near you. I am jealous. Or my credit card is lucky. One or the other.

I smoked longer than you and never even had the guts to try to quit. But I switched to vaping in a snap and I didn't have good juice to start (just some mystery non-menthol PG). It's amazing. I love try ejuices too. My current loves are chocolates and vanillas, as well as good tobacco ejuices and the incredibly yummy FreedomSMokeUSA oRYental (their sweet vanilla caramel tobacco).

DudeinMytlebeach Welcome to ECF. It is nice having a supplier close to you and yours has pretty good prices from what I saw. I work very close to mine and he live approx 3 minutes from me. Also when he is out of town I handle some sales for him locally so I have a lot of stock upstairs right now. :w00t:
