New and frustrated...

[Doctor Beard]

Hello all. I just received my e-cig yesterday and I'm not too impressed. I DID purchase the BluCig...I DIDN'T do my research. It's just not cutting it.

I've done a little research, watched a couple videos and I'm now interested in a couple others. The first being the Green Smoke, closely followed by the Bloog Fusion.

The Green Smoke kit looks to be quite a reach for my budget which is why I found the Bloog to be the second option. I've heard some great things about these two, but I would really appreciate some more input...whether its reassurance or a slap in the face.

Thanks.

Welcome and congratulations!

1. Go BIG! Invest in one of the bigger ENIs (longer battery life, better vapor production).

2. Cartomizers are ok, but atomizers (cartridge is separate) are easier to refill.

3. Consider mixing your own juice; you will have more control over flavor and strength not to mention the cost savings.

These are just some suggestions that fit me; however, may or may not fit you?

 

[Doctor Beard]

Thank you. I know I definitely need more vapor production and longer battery life. Consistency would also be nice. The cig I'm using now is not consistent what-so-ever.

I just read a LOT about Bloog's (older products?) and was impressed. I guess they had many problems with various things but customers were still satisfied. From what I understand, Bloog has put out the Fusion, an upgraded version with many of the original bugs fixed.

If I'm totally wrong about any of this, I would really like to know ASAP as I've pretty much decided to purchase the Bloog Fusion tomorrow. If anybody thinks this is a bad idea, by all means, grad me by the collar and shake me...let me know what's up.

I'll definitely be keeping things updated here let you know how things go. You guys are great...Keep up the good work!

I'd say go with a Joye510-- there are a # of options made for this model & its a crowd favorite. check here, but don't limit yourself, check around b4 you buy-- good luck & welcome to the forum!

 

[Doctor Beard]

Thank you. That's what I like to see. I'm way too deep into the impulse buying. I've always been a little impatient.

But, thanks to your advice, I'll put off making my purchase for a while and look into that.

Any advice from anybody is highly encouraged. I'm just a Nooblet.

the 510 (joye) and the KR8 are the 'most popular' models
one is a 3 piece and the other is 2
Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store. - you can see the 510 starter kit isnt too pricey

Dr. B,
Joye 510 was my first e-cig and I got a KR808D-1 for the Mrs.
The 510 is a little more "hands on" then the 808D. which my wife likes really well!!!
Several places you can get them both at a reasonable price with the replacement parts being reasonable as well.... Good luck!!
Good Vapes!!

If you're looking for ease of use and battery life, just get an Ego. It's a 510 on steroids..it lasts anywhere between 6-10 hours depending on your vaping style. Or, you could purchase a regular 510 kit from cignot first, see whether or not you like it, but most people do, and THEN upgrade to the Ego..you can still use the atties and carts from your regular 510 kit.

Good luck and welcome to ECF!!

this is 100% exactly what I did.. 2 months with the regular 510 nobox kit, and then upgraded to an eGo last week. Didn't want to spend the extra cash till I knew for sure i was off the cigs. I HIGHLY recommend this route unless you're 100% sure you are off the cigs and have the cash, just go for the eGo.

cignot.com is the supplier I let most folks know about for kits. MsT's Bakery and NHaler for juices. I like the nhaler lung juices

Good luck and welcome to being analog freeeeeee!

Yep what she said.

Joye Black eGo

I also agree with the Ego! It is great!!

I'm a newbie also I feel your pain, I quit smoking 4 years ago and I got my PCC-510 last week, Wednesday. Out of the box The aty was defective and didn't work consitantly it was the only one I got with the kit so I called and they send me another plus I ordered an extra one. Received them both on Saturday and either my batteries or the PCC it self took a dump so now I'm SOL. So I got creative and use a 9 volt battery And just touched the atty to the terminals for short burts of heat....LOL

And I ordered MY PERSONAL STARTER KIT a pass thru and manual batteries and a differant charger all 510 stuff I plan on sending the PCC back and having it all replaced or getting my money back I hope. This way if the batteries die I have a back up which I feel that is important with any addiction reducing or stopping or helping tool... Because you cant just run to the gas station yet and get replacements....

I feel that all the starter kits should come with a pass thru and a extra aty so you don't have the start up hicups like I did. Basicly I'm the guinie pig for some people who smoke and are very close to me. I lost my Dad, Mom, and both grand parents to Smoking if I can help other people switch or quit it's worth the pita.

I read the failures I'm hoping my next trial is a better one.

Good luck from what I've read once you get past the start up issues your good to go I'm sure there is a post on how to prevent start up issues. I just didn't find it in time I was to excited......

I was in the same boat as you. I had boughten the Blu without much research and was VERY disappointed. Bought the eGo from Cignot and LOVE it. Now I'm just on the search for a good juice.

 

[stover.p]

Good juice = Tasty Vapor

Doublers are available so you can cut them down and get more bang for your buck. Nice flavors too.

Tasty Vapor

 

[mick11]

please, please, please consider an eGo.....based on your stated reasons for upgrading, this looks to be your next logical step.....and what stover.p said....TV is yummy juice!

Just my $.02 worth

VAPE ON

 

[Bubbakinns]

I started with the joye 510 and got an eGo 2 weeks later! So .... you can skip all the trials and just go with an eGo, I'm pretty sure you'll be quite happy with it. Fortunately the eGo uses 510 attys so those of us who upgraded haven't lost out, we've just got more batts we can use!

I also agree on the Tasty Vapor suggestion, mmmm!
