Hi everyone! I'm new here and to vaping. I have been wanting to switch to an eCig for some time but have been financially unable til now. I convinced my dad into financing a kit and with him being an ex-smoker and wanting me to quit, he agreed on the condition that if I went back to cancer sticks, I have to pay him back.
I'm also beyond excited right now not only because I can finally be free of those disgusting cigarettes, but that I found this site!

8 hours ago I had a shopping cart ready to check out at GreenSmoke and while I was waiting to pay, I did a search on the changes people experienced switching to vaping. I clicked on the second link which brought me here and I am SO glad I did that before checking out. There is a lot of info here so I was seriously overwhelmed at first but I knew I needed to reconsider my GreenSmoke decision.
I'm happy to report that I just purchased the Joye eGo Kit. I opted for the one with the 650mAh battery as I do not ever want to be in a position that I have to buy cigarettes again. I also purchased four 10ml e-Liquids and 2 packs of cartridges. So around this time tomorrow, I'll finally be vaping!
Since I'm complete noob, I'm hoping someone will chime in and let me know if I bought enough e-Liquid for a good start. I currently smoke about 10-12 cigs a day but only 1/2 at a time. Thanks in advance!
Hello!
I just joined this forum today.

I have been using an eCig for about 5 weeks. I paid too much and I wish that I had known there were so many choices.
The eGo is a great choice!
I found a 510 that is a little longer than most, has a 280 (85mm) mAh with a manual switch (button) that I really like. No "pre-puffing" to warm it up, just push on the button for a second before puffing and she's warmed up and ready to vape!

I like an eCig that is more of the size & shape of a tobacco cig. because I have been smoking for many years and because they are more comfortable (in my experience). Everyone has their own comfort zone.
I also bought a PASS THROUGH BATTERY(again with a manual button). They run off of a battery that is constantly being charged through a USB port. I spend a lot of time on the computer, so it's great for me and I save the battery of my other one for when I go away from the computer (TV, going out or work).
You need an external power source to use a pass through, so you do not fry your mother-board on your computer, and do not use it on a laptop. I got a BELKIN mobile USB Hub at Staples, it has an AC adapter and you can use something like that, or an AC plug adapter for USB will also work (5V). (Shop around a bit and you will find these at some websites that sell eCigs.)
I had 2 packs of cigarettes left from a carton when I got my eCig, and I smoked those over the next 3 days while using my eCig (mostly because they were around) and that was the last time I bought or smoked tobacco! Those last cigarettes were tasting worse & worse as those 3 days passed, and I have not missed tobacco at all!
I also found that I like the cartomizers better than the cartridges. They hold more e-juice, and are refillable.
Check out You-Tube for lots of information on eCigs .
You certainly bought plenty of e-juice! I recommend buying smaller (5ml to 7.5ml) bottles until you find the one you really like, there are so many choices there too; so, buy smaller bottles to try.
I really love the flavors. My favorites are: Caramel macchiato; Caramel apple: Banana cream; Mango; Peach; Vanilla; Vanilla coke;and light tobacco. Any of the flavors can be added to your regular tobacco flavor to give a little yum to it.
Hope this helps.

You'll do great (and you won't have to pay Dad back). Good Luck!
