New from Tampa, just received my first E-cig!

[bogeyjim]

Hey everyone, Ive done A LOT of research this past week and decided to give e-smoking a try! I am a 1-1 1/2 pack a day smoker. I really want to quit for health reasons as well as money reasons.

I decided that I was going to give this a try. I mean for a weeks worth of tobacco cigs I could try this and see how it goes.

After all the research, I decided on a Joye 510, from E-smokey treats. By the way, I ordered on Sunday night and it arrived today from across this continent. I was very impressed, and I even emailed Phil, the owner, numerous times and received super quick responses. Just thought I'd throw that out there as well. Im not used to good customer service so this was nice.

Anyways, my plan was to quit smoking after the weekend and just smoke the 510, however, I HAD to open it when it got here today

I am truly amazed at this thing! Ive only smoked one cigarette since getting home today at 3pm (its 7pm now). The thing smokes, and feels like a real cigarette! I really cant believe it!

I do however want to put it away until Monday so I can start fresh and tobacco free come Monday. Any suggestions as to how to put it away for a few days? I dont want to dry out the atomizer??

So Thank you everyone on here with the great vids and posts, I really think I made a good decision here and I do believe everyone here possibly just saved my life!

Thanks and take care!

Jim

Why wait....
The benefit to you begins the day you put down the analogs.......
You may slip, but why not start helping to break the habit now? Anyhow gratz on the 510 and check the carts mod section for some definitely worth checking out mods. There are alot of them out there but I am using the tea bag mod and love it. It's easy and cheap and really makes my 510 perform better than standard filler carts.
Just my 2c........
Cheers

Go ahead and start using it It'll take a litle while to break in the atty anyway You'll see the wonderful difference in the taste from cigs to e-cigs You don't have to quit tobacco all at once, you can just cut down Some people stop the first day, took me a couple of weeks Congrats

Welcome to the world of vaping Jim,
I agree with Vapr and Rimp, why stop till after the weekend? It is ok to use your E cig and ease your way off the analogs. I am doing it that way. I am actually using a really crappy e cig till I get my new one and I am already down to about 3 smokes a day from a pack and a half a day (or more). My wife has gone through almost a full carton of cigarettes this week. I have only used 1 and a part packs. But I have been using the heck out of my PV. Things taste better, I wake up without that cigarette paste in my mouth, and I am already feeling better in my chest. It does take a little bit to get used to it but it is great once you do.

BTW Jim,
I have put my PV down for several days at a time. It doesn't seem to bother it. I am kinda new here so if someone else has a parking procedure for these things I would also be interested.

Jim, I wouldn't wait.

I got my first PV two weeks ago today. I smoked my last cigarette at 11:30PM that night. In just a couple of hours, it'll be 14 days smoke free for me. For the most part, it's been a breeze. I will admit I've had a couple of stressful moments when I looked around for that pack of cigarettes but picked up the PV instead.

Just do it.

Thanks guys, Ive actually been going between the e cig and the regular cigs. More to the PV than the tobacco!

I had the shakes earlier today cuz I was smoking this thing sooooo much! I think the 26mg was waaaaaaay too much nic for me...

Im gonna get a lighter liquid next time.

I really do like this thing a lot and am looking forward to no more cigs come monday!

Glad to hear that you didn't put the 510 in the drawer until Monday! Everyone is different and what works for some, does not work for others and that is all good. Some can start vaping and drop the analogs after the first vape and others....................you have to find what is right for you. At least you are on the road to a healthier alternative than smoking! So Congrats and welcome to the forum Jim!
