New E-cig user

Hello everyone,

My cousin recently told me about e-cigs so I figured I'd give it a try as an alternative to analogs. We went to a smoke shop and bought an e-cig called Health e-cigarette.

Just curious which is why I'm posting because reading on the forums seems like alot of people are satisfied with their e-cig. However, for me, seems like its not giving me my nicotine and I still feel the urge to smoke an analog. I'm using the pre filled carts I bought along with the starter kit. Is it maybe the brand I bought or how I'm vaping? Any help would be great.

I definitely recommend vapor4life, look in the registered supplier subforum, in the last big section of this ECF forum. V4L (vapor4life) is the brand I chose, their flavors are wonderful also.

Yeah basically the health e-cigarettes are junk. I have a couple. There is a huge difference between them and almost every other popular e-cigarette. Try a 510 or the KR-808 (the model Vapor4Life sells). Vastly different experience.

The most likely (and simple) answer is that the juice you've got doesn't have enough nicotine in it. You should be refilling your carts anyway, so your best first step is to get some higher-nic juice and try that.

Welcome,,,,and yes, what they say on this site is that what you have is kinda useless...No offense...Also, on this site, for a fairly "cheap" price the Joye 510 basic kit from Cignots is great for someone new or for even people that have been vaping a while..Good luck...and Read, read, and read some more on this forum....as always, Enjoy.

Hi! You came to the right place for all your vaping answers: YES - it's your PV. The good news about mall kiosk (or the like) e-cigarettes is that they get people to try e-cig's, the bad news is that we have yet to see one that's actually worth it and not over priced. Our usual NOOB recommendations are:
* the KR808 (has a battery and cartomizer-2pieces) if you want one that's no muss-no fuss.
* the 510 (has a battery, atomizer and cart-3 pieces) it's more versatile and can do more tricks basically.

Either choice can be refilled with e-juice so you can have whichever flavor you like and nicotine strength that works for you, so if you decide to switch to one of these be sure to get some x-tra juice.

Hi,and welcome to ecf.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the health ecig is the worst one you can buy. But at least you're introduced to vaping now. Join us.

I got the same one... its the only one available I found.
I too have had problems with it at first but as long as I keep the burner clean and have juice in it it works great.
It is not the same as a cigarette but you get used to it.
I jonesed a couple of days but I just kept smoking my fakie.
Someone tried to bum a smoke and was like huh its fake...???

I cant find the juice and the smoke shop wants $20 for a couple tips so I bought imitation vanilla extract (PG-vanilla-water-alcohol) and it works almost the same. The smoke is thicker and better than the prefilled and the vanilla tastes like a cigarette kinda. $2 for plenty of juice...
Made some fake weed flavor, too. Tastes like skunk...
You can actually just put some real weed into it and it will work, too...

Had the swine flu and this saved me...haven't smoked an "analog" for almost 3 weeks. I haven't crapped right either... Glycerine is a suppository isn't.

 

[dubwiser77]

Has anyone else had the problem of getting other people to vape...???

Everyone says its so cool when I do it and I got a few people to hit it but they are all still smoking their usual...

I just wish the ecigs were easier to find in Los Angeles.
You would think they get off the boat here first.
Where they all at...and why is the price going up every day on what you can find.

Used to see BLU billboards but I have yet to actually see a BLU ecig.
I want to order one just for the charger fake cigarette case.
I just keep running into the crappy Health E-Cig...

 

[dubwiser77]

Has anyone weened off of vaping after quitting smoking???

Seems like everyone just switched to vaping and have a new habit.

Everyone else that I know that vapes still smokes and vapes...huh???

 

[dubwiser77]

Was wondering if anyone has been denied from vaping in public places, i.e. the park, the beach, Disneyland.....???

Used it in a park, at the beach, and I'm going to Disneyland real soon....
Not gonna sit in lines vaping away but dont want to be tempted by the smoking section.

Seems like people look at me funny as if I was smoking weed right in front of them or smoking something illegal...

Maybe its just me.

 

[dubwiser77]

Maybe one day they will have a booth at Disneyland for vaping.

The Vape Lounge in TomorrowLand next to the dancefloor with the rockin' cover band.
They could serve virgin drinks and disposable/reusable vapes of all different flavors.

Friday Nights would be packed with OC kids with SoCal passports.

Ditto on this. The actual site is cignot.com.

Welcome to ECF, Jay. If you're like a lot of us smokers though, doesn't matter what kind of juice you buy for a while until your taste buds and sense of smell come back. cignot also has a lot of 3ml and 4.5ml flavored sampler sizes. if you want the economy 30ml size, tastyvapor.us has a $10 sale every week. This week it's butter rum. If you choose to order from cignot, they have extremely fast service. Give them an extra couple of days grace though, as they are currently attending a House Committee meeting (in Springfield) on the banning of e-cigs in Illinois. Cheers to you on your decision to give vaping a try. You'll learn everything you wanted to know and more about e-cig education and reviews here at ECF.

It's so true! My first puff from my 510 I was amazed and thought to myself, "WOW! I think this might have a flavor!" Of course, it gets better and better...

Welcome and Good Luck!

Some of my friends quit by using e-cig. Maybe I should try it

 

[sonabraham]

I would try the Riva from [ Comes with Low resistance atty, and 10 refillable carts. you can order some higher nic content juice and the same time.
