Hello all,
I was an 18 year smoker up until one week ago.
A co-worker of my wife gave me a whole mess of e-cig stuff to try out. A flashlight mod that stopped working, a PCC kit with 3 batteries and a passthrough and one standard Atomizer.
It took a little getting used to, and after lurking in a few forums and checking out all the vendors I could find, I figured I had enough knowledge to take the plunge and buy a mod. The day the mod came was the last cigarette I smoked. I have just ordered my 2nd and 3rd sample pack of juice trying to find the ultimate flavor. Can't say I have found any that I can consider an every-day flavor, but with 10 more sample flavors on the way I am hoping to find one.
Here's where I hope to help out others...
The pieces and parts from my wife's co-worker worked (except the flashlight mod worked only for a few days) but were not "strong" enough for me to think of them replacing the analogs. The stick batteries would last about and hour or two if I was lucky, I don't think the PCC kit was charging them well enough. I flooded out the passthrough and don't know if I'll try it out again, I don't know how much juice dripped through into the battery.
I found a local shop not too far from where I live. (I hope it is OK to list vendors and suppliers, cuz I'm going to
) Zikwid Lounge in Phoenix, AZ hooked me up with a low-res atty a drip tip and some juice. I didn't have the mod at the time, but if you visit, you can try before you buy their juices. There was a whole counter full of testers.
The low-res atty on the 3.7v roughstack v2 from MadVapes changed everything!
The volumes of vapor are much more realistic when compared to analogs.
The throat hit is better, but I noticed it does depend on the juice. Some of the darker liquids are too smooth and just don't seem to work for me. I thought I would be a vanilla fan, but that turned out to be the mildest hit of all I have tried. My wifes' co-worker gave her a bag full of samples last night for me to try out and so far the cherry-lime aid is hitting like a hammer and tastes just like they do from sonic! I WILL NOT TRY THE CRAB JUICE SAMPLE! It smells like an un-airconditioned seafood market in the middle of summer in AZ.
So, in closing, my advice to others that want to ditch analogs is to just buy a mod and get it over with! Don't forget to stock up on low-res attys! (I only bought one and am just praying it will last till the others get here) Never look back! It has only been a week, but I can say that the first few days are the worst and you will crave the analogs, but it will pass and you will be craving cherry lime aid instead...
Hope this helps anyone...
