Hello All,
Just thought I'd share my experience thus far with the whole e-cig thing. First off I've been a 1 1/2 pack a day smoker for 24 years now. Brand of choice is Marlboro lights (used to be reds). Up until two weeks ago I had never even heard of an e-cig until I got a pop-up on my computer for the Smoke Anywhere brand and was immediately intrigued at the possibility.
I ordered the Smoke Anywhere brand and received my kit in about 4 days. To begin with let me first say DON'T BUY THE SMOKE ANYWHERE BRAND! That being said here's why. Their 14 day trial costs $9.95 and upon completion they want to charge you a remaining balance of $99.00!!! For one e-cig, charger and five cartridges! Bright side is I didn't fall prey to this as I called them and recieved their "sale price" of $49.99. Upon arrival I began toking away and found it to have a hard draw with very sporadic vapor. Half the time I got nothing out of it. And there claim that each cartridge equals a pack of cigarette's is such crap that it should be considered false advertising!! (equal to 3-4 cigarettes MAX) When I did get decent vapor though it was like my dream come true for replacing analogs! Felt like a cigarette, looked like a cigarette, tasted like a cigarette....Wahoo! So I began researching to determine if there were any higher quality vaporizers that would deliver consistent vapor and make replacing real cigarette's a reality. After watching many video reviews and reading a lot I decided on the Joye 510. $35.00 plus $5.00 s&h from cignot.com and you get two full 510's, charger and 5 cartridges. (If I had it to do over I would go with the kit which includes the personal charging case and a bottle of liquid....both of which are now on there way as a seperate order)
Cignot shipped immediately and they were received today. So what's my first day review? Hallelujah....kiss the cigarettes goodbye!!! This thing rocks! Was concerned about the manual button...not anymore. It can be pushed easily squeezed between your fingers and is barely noticeable. Consistent vapor on every single drag (like a cigarette) and I don't have to suck my brains out. If you're in the pre-buying stage for your first e-cig let me lay it on the line.
PRO'S: Taste's like a cigarette (obviously with the tobacco flavored fluid), feels like a cigarette and satisfies my nicotine craving. Does NOT smell like a cigarette unless you're right in the vapor which immediately dissipates and doesn't seem to stick to clothes, furniture etc. (my numerous non-smoking friends could care less about the vapor unless I blow it right in there face). Does NOT fill your home and car with ashes and butts. Does NOT turn everything yellow (actually tested tonight by blowing 15 drags of an analog through a paper towel then the same from my 510. Analog left the nasty mess you'd expect and the vapor left me with a paper towel!) Costs a fraction of what cigarettes cost and even less than I had initially thought thanks to some posts on this site which have led me to some even cheaper liquid sources.The 510 does not look like a cigarette (black with the option of having funky colored lights) which I initially viewed as a draw back. Now I wish I had gotten the batteries with blue lights just to make more people ask me what the heck I'm smoking so I can brag about it!! And, while I'm no doctor and the verdict is still out with the FDA, I have to say that the health benefits from the lack of carcinogens combined with my paper towel test make it fairly obvious to me that it beats the heck out of standard smokes!
CONS: I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I find one!
I'm sold and slightly excited about this if you can't tell!! If you're still in the "considering" stage I would recommend looking up video reviews on u-tube for the models you're interested in to hear what people have to say and to actually see these things in action.
Happy vaping!
