I have been using a Crown7 Imperial Cartomizer model, that I bought for $35, for about two weeks. Just to see if I liked the whole e-Cig taste and feel. After being at least a pack a day smoker, most of the time since the early '60's, I knew there was a chance I would not be able to adapt to the to the feel and taste. But it appears that I am adapting quite well. <grin>

It really looks like a lot of stuff when it's listed out like this. But in reality it was only about the cost of 3 cartons of my regular Marlboro. And that would only last me 3 weeks or so. And stink up my house. So here is what I bought, should be arriving by the middle of next week. (Then I get to learn just how to use all this stuff LOL)

Any constructive feedback for a nube is greatly appreciated. :unsure:

Just curious, why the no nicotine? Not that there's anything wrong with that.:laugh: Going from a pack a day to zero might be a little difficult.

That's what I was thinking when I read the juice list.

Crashing yourself off nic may have you going back to analogs rather quickly. Starting on 18mg and weaning yourself off nic would be better IMO.

Great first order imho--looks like you're doing your home work and thinking things through. The only thing I see is the nic levels and that has already been mentioned. What you might consider is finding a flavor you like then order it in a high nic to mix with so that you can find what works best for you.

The following suggestions are things that I'm sure you've read about already but I think they bear repeating again and again.

1. Keep yourself hydrated. With water. :laugh: Mind you, this is coming from an old hillbilly that loves to have a cup of coffee in hand at ALL times lol. ( I've found that I like lemon water with vaping and I'm working on cutting the coffee.)

2. Check your vitamins. Increased water consumption does tend to flush some vitamins a little and you may need a good multi or b12 supplement. Also, very few of us get enough sunshine any more and some vitamin D may be in order or at least some good old cod liver oil. COD LIVER OIL? Yes, hush, open wide. Grandma knows best. :p

And that's it from me. Good luck and happy vaping. :vapor:

I actually quit smoking for almost 2 years. But a couple of months ago, during some major stress, I started again. It started slowly, with just one or two, but in a week I was buying a carton. Then another, and another...

So about 3 weeks ago I stopped again. Cold turkey as always. I slept for 4 days or so till the nicotine was out of my system and thought I was right back on track. But the physical habit was even stronger that before. It never really went away before I started again, but it was back with a vengeance!

I found myself reaching for my pack every few minutes. So I knew I would need to find something to fill that "ritual" of Smoking. I really enjoyed the process, it was something to slow my mind down, remove focus to something else. I likes the inhaling and releasing of the smoke. It was calming.

Now that was gone. If I ever wanted to be truly free of this habit I would need to replace it with something else. And yes, I know that is just a substitution, but a rather benign one. <grin>

I did get 2 juices with low levels of nic, for times when I just want to indulge. And I do plan on getting some of the flavorless nic for mixing as needed. But, at least for me, the physical habit is the hardest part to deal with. This will take care of that. And I am hoping that by using some of the sweet flavors I won't feel the urge to snack, just so I can get my "Oral Fix" LOL

(sorry about the long post)

LOL, Much thanks for the good advice. I try to always have water at hand. I live in the Mojave desert in Arizona, where often the relative humidity is in the low single digits. (was at 2% just a couple days ago)

I have noticed that my mouth gets very dry when vaping, but I wasn't sure if it was just the weather or the vaping. Thanks for clearing that up. :)

I do have to stay out of the sun as I burn so quickly, notice the pale skin and red hair of my avatar. But I drink a lot of milk. And NO! I will not open wide!

Great-Grandma knows better... :p
