Hello all. Wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. Name is Chris. I've been reading and watching videos about vaping for about a week now. I've been smoking a pack a day (American Spirit) for about 10 years. A few years ago I was able to quit cigarettes for for about a year using a drug my Dr. recommended called Chantix. Needless to say, not exactly sure what or when it happened, I eventually started smoking again.

I was seeing electronic cigarettes in gas stations and decided to learn a little more about them online. I found this forum and also videos on youtube. I was a little overwhelmed with all that is available. I wanted something that looked like a cigarette so I purchased the Volt Pro Starter Kit from Smokeless Image. I received it in the mail yesterday and am happy with it.

I am actually surprised how much vaping resembles smoking. I got the three different sample packs of cartomizers (All 18mg). I like some flavors more than others. Some I hate but others I really like.

Today was my first full day without having a cigarette in years.

The Volt is a great alternative to cigarettes for me. It will be something I take to work and use in the car. This weekend I am going to an e-cig store about a half hour drive from my house to pick up two ego twists and some other stuff. Possibly a mini Vivi Nova or some other Clearomizer and some juices. (Any recommendations ???)

I'm happy I have found this forum for support and fun, and most happy that I don't plan on smoking cigarettes anymore.

congrats and welcome to ecf!!! and as a displaced ohioan - well....the theater of sadness is what is is...at least we won one right? *looks all hopefull* I grew up 20 miles south of Canton. So I really DO understand football in Ohio. [stoopid dover won again THIS year :mad:] (really though - out here - I get mad props for loving a team that is so well....us..... :sigh: they're always "you see - you guys finally won one. and I'm all "you don't even know. You can't even begin to understand) They're all az cardinals fans here. I insist they are only browns fans in the making, that said - they still can NEVER understand being a browns fan...

I noticed you asked about what to get. Since you are going to an actual store (I am sooooo envious) hopefully they will be able to steer you to something that will work best for you. I personally LOVE my Twist and Vivi Nova. It is super simple. I use the larger 3.5 tank and I have about 5 in rotation with several Twists. I can see how much I have in my tank so there is no danger in running out.

Good luck and congrats! Welcome to ECF. :)

Chris, you can't beat the Ego twist, Vivi Nova combo. Thats coming from someone who is primarily into rebuildables. I have been off cigs for a yaer and a half, and I use that combo at work. I too started with cigalikes, but got tired of the short/weak battery life. Ego Twist is TOP NOTCH, good decision.
