New, clueless & in a rush to learn

[Heather E]

I'm desperate to quit smoking – immediately. I'm scheduled to have surgery on Thursday, Nov 29 and my doctor said she will absolutely not do it if I am still smoking. I'm to quit two weeks in advance, which is two days from now. She said the patch, the gum or e cigs were fine, so I googled e cigarettes and found you guys, and an overwhelming amount of other sites and info.

Any suggestions on where to start would be greatly appreciated. Also where to buy in NYC.

Many recommend starting out with a joye-eGo kit. If you're looking for that "cigarette" look Smokeless Image carries Volt starter kits that are well respected. Just do yourself a favor, though, and stay away from some of the more popular brands you'd find in search engines. You can get a much better quality kit and a better price. definitely look into eGo or kGo kits or something like smokeless image.

Also, you will have questions so ask. A ton of people here with a lot of great experience and information.

Hi Heather, welcome to ECF. SOrry to hear about your upcoming surgery, hope it's not too serious.

My suggestion would be to start with an ego starter kit, from Gotvapes or another similar site. Very good to start with if you in a rush cause it (usually) just works for people. As far as finding a place in NYC, I would suggest online instead just cause prices are more reasonable. Maybe someone else can chime in with a good local vendor in NYC for you though. It can be a little overwhelming at first, just ask questions and remember everyone else started out once too, lot's of helpful people here.

Since you are in a time crunch, can you look to see if there is a brick and mortar store around you? Also, just to start, you could get a disposable at gas stations etc.
I can't tell you where a local store might be.

Order online an eGo starter kit and some juice to put in it. Make sure you have at least 2 to start with, one for using while the other charges. So, 2 eGo's, a juice delivery system and a charger is the bare minimum. Also order some juice to put in it.

Hi Heather, and welcome to the forum - you've come to the right place.
With the will to quit and an e-cig in your hand, you will be successful
I concur with everybodies suggestion of an eGo starter kit - it worked for me!

Here is a popular kit. Look it over and ask questions.
You get 3 juices to try with the kit. Nicotine level depends on how much you smoked, i suggest 18 to start if you were a pack or so a day.

I'm slower than the people above.

This company is located in CT, so shipping should be fast. Eric, the owner is very trustworthy and dependable. Here's a good starter kit:

Here's a very popular eliquid that he also sells, 18mg or 24mg should be good

Good luck
