This is my first post but I've read enough to feel as though I've been here a while.
I started three weeks ago with the Blu cig, and of course I was still smoking just a few analogs because it just wasn't cutting it for me. I then got a 302 from NicStick and this has come the closest to hooking me up. When I drip directly onto the atomizer I get the best results but finding an atomizer that doesn't heat up too quickly and doesn't break has been a challenge. I have smoked one cig in the past 13 days and it tasted absolutely horrible. I'm not going back to that.
I know that I'm hard on ecigs. I chain-vape and I want the nicotine NOW... all day long. I know that this will taper off eventually but I need to find a DEPENDABLE system that can take a beating. I've gone through four atomizers and am getting nervous about my last three. I've boiled, soaked in alcohol etc... but I just end up with atomizers that have smoe to a lot of vapor and ZERO throat hit or an atty that feels like the surface of the sun after a few minutes. That doesn't cut it for me.
Before, I was a two to three pack a day smoker. My wife and oldest son also smoke. Between all of us I was spending $850 in cigarettes a month. That is a sin and I've known for a while that I need to quit. My wife quit cold turkey ( I hate that she can do so so easily), my son is on the Blu cigs, which work for him very well, and I am using a 302 which I directly drip. It's just the consistency that I'm not getting.
I don't mind spending the money for whatever is good out there for a heavy ex-smoker b/c no matter what I spend, it'll be less than what I used to spend on cigs. I just want a unit that will stand up to some abuse.
BTW, I tried a standard 510 b/c I saw they were popular here and I have to say that to me it seems very weak. It may be the manufacturer I got it from but it was pretty close to sucking through a drink straw for me.
I want a sturdy dependable model that'll give me a throat hit from hell. I won't whine about it being too "strong". Flavor is only a bonus not a necessity.
Thanks everyone, I'm very glad to be on this forum.
