New guy from Alaska

[wickd6]

Just wanted to introduce myself. I have been smoking for the past 25 years. Started when I went into the Air Force. I've of course tried to quit a ton of times but always fell back into it. I ran into a coworker who had quit smoking and noticed that she had an e-cig. After talking with her for a bit about it, I decided that i needed to do some research on these devices. My googling led me to this sight in which i've been perusing for a couple days now. I decided to bite the bullet per say and order the "Ultimate Ultimatum". I have been struggling as have most of you with quitting for years and years. I can't wait to drop the analogs and go digital! My order should arrive the middle of this week. Can't wait!!

Welcome to the group, Pete. The best of luck to you in trying to quit. Even with the e-cig, it can still be a battle, but it is one of the easiest ways I have found to not smoke.

Grats! BTW there is a Armed Services section on the forum. Once you have about 5 posts/replies in New Members and then an hour's wait, you should be able to post there or elsewhere on the forum.

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure your experience will be similar to mine......many friendly, helpful, wonderful people. I see tips posted for you already. I'm still a newbie, too and don't know what I would do without this place!!
I smoked for 25 years and after my very first vape, I've never gone back. So, good luck to you, but don't be too hard on yourself in the beginning.
There is so much to learn. Like you, I just hadta jump right in and get started. Good luck to you and welcome to a great place!!!

Thanks for the quick replies!
I'm not actually still in the Air Force. I got out back in 92 and currently i'm the driver supervisor at the local Miller/Coors distributor here in Anchorage since getting out of the service.
There's so much info on here It's kinda mind boggling! But, i will continue to read and learn as much as i can. I'm hoping that i can make a smooth transition without too many hiccups along the way.
So, do these carts have an odor of what they are flavored as? (while vaping) Just curious as to what I might expect when i start. I ordered a wide vartiety of flavors and nicotine levels to get a sense of what i may like and not like.

Can't see Russia through all the trees and moose standing in the way

Welcome to the forum and the vaping world. Certain vapes will have a very very light tinge of smell to them, but you would really have to try to smell them. At least that is what my wife says, for I am the one vaping, and therefore it is hard to smell the flavor you taste. I too ordered the utimate ultimatum. Vapor king is a great device and you made the right choice, although I am not sure if I like their cartomizers better than the smoke tip cartomizers. (smoketip.com) they are interchangeable. your device is a KR808D-1. you can find compatible equipment a lot of different places. you will find this site to be a wealth of information, and it tends to kind of suck you in. cant stop viewing threads lol. case and point me replying to yours. Havent smoked since my first vape on march 4th. I hope you have the same success and wish you all the best.

Welcome wick!!! and how is Bullwinkle?

 

[SammyT]

wait, the carts will have a smell, the vapor will not, just to clarify

 

[wickd6]

Welcome wick!!! and how is Bullwinkle?

I think Bullwinkle ended up in someones freezer

 

[wickd6]

Thanks for the clarification on that.

"Can you see Russia?"

I think you have to be in Sarah Palin's back yard for that!

Wickd6 welcome to ECF and I hope your order comes through quick!

 

[ardelleg]

Welcome to ECF from another Alaskan.... good luck from North Pole...

One of the nice things about all the vendors I have dealt with so far is they use USPS so the shipping charges are reasonable.... Almost all my orders have arrived in about 4 days....

Enjoy..

Welcome to ECF!! I hope you enjoy your vaping experience
In my experience it depends where you get the juice from on whether or not it has an odor. My juices from Ms. T's Bakery have strong smells!! But they are delicious smells! The other day I was vaping Cinnamon Roll and my husband could smell the vapor and knew it smelled like cinnamon rolls! So I would say that the carts and vapor have an odor, depending on your vendor.

I bought both of the "coffee shop" samplers. Hopefully they have a decent flavor! I like coffee and I like chocolate. So we'll see. I placed my order with express shipping. It should be here Wednesday.
I made the mistake of ordering from green smoke until I came onto this site. I will be returning it all as it comes in. I already have an RMA# for one of the shipments. I'm not even going to break the seal on the package
