new guy looking to quit smoking

[jdub]

Hi my name is Josh. I am a nicotine addict I chew a can of copenhagen today and smoke a pack of marlboro red 100's every day.

I just purchased from bestecigshop.com and was wondering if I did good according the reviews I have read.

I ended up with the joye 510

I am looking at getting into the to at least be an alternative to smoking.

has anyone ordered from this website?

I haven't ordered from that particular site, but, I had ordered and received a DSE810.

Before the DSE arrived, I decided I'd like a mini (short e-cig, close in size to an analog cigarrette), to go along with my pen style DSE 810.

Well, for whatever reason, when the DSE 810 arrived, it made me cough pretty badly. Not sure if it was the atty, the style, the juice or what.

A couple of days later, got the Joye 510 and love it! Great amount of vapor, and for whatever reason, doesn't cause me to cough like the DSE 810.

Fortunately, I was able to return the 810, and exchanged it for a Personal Charging Case for the Joye 510.

You'll love the 510! Great e-cig.

Hey JDub, I was a 2 pack a day Red smoker for 30 years, and the 510 was my first buy. I'd recommend starting w/ 30+mg Nicotine juice. Easier to go down, than fight the cravings and need to go up with no local supplier readily available.

Good luck in your efforts!

thanks for the support guys I am just hoping the place is legit

I am waiting for this stuff to arrive before I start customizing it... can't wait

Great choice on the 510, that is what I use. Let us know how it goes when you get it.
GL and Welcome!!!

 

[jdub]

whats a really good site to customize a e-cig

led, battery, round tips, charging case, cartomizer, and all that stuff on one site?

I don't mind quitting but I need something to keep me steady

all I do is customize so please let me know

I have the Joye 510 and I love it so far. I have had it for about a day and a half and I haven't had a single analog for about 30 hours and I feel great. Except for the feeling I get knowing I am running out of carts quick and I have no juice to refill with. I wish Tuesday would hurry up and get here so I can order some juice!

We are at bingo juice Vapor 2-1! Need an immediate supply drop on this location! Over!

Around here a lot of us think custom means something different. We build our own mods, buy mods and adapt our cartridges.

As far as everything in one place I'll let someone who buys that kind of stuff answer.

Be sure to buy some juice quick. You don't want to be without it. Try a few flavors and buy a couple of weeks worth at least. If you're smart you will buy at least a months worth ahead of time. Shipping problems will happen.

If you are handy check out the battery mods in the Modders forum. If not just ask and you will have an overwelming amount of answers about ones you can buy. MadVapes LLC has a lot of good stuff if you want to build it yourself.

Usually I wouldn't bring it up for someone new but since you want to customize bigger batteries are better. 3.7v (the standard) or 5,6 or 7 volts, as long as it's bigger the vapor will be better.

You made the right decision. The e-cig is the best alternative out there for sure.

You did great! And you got the Joye 510 - that might not mean much to you but there are under performing clones now - you have the original. Like witakr mentions, if you didn't get juice then you should look into that real soon. You'll go through those first cartridges pretty fast, like a kid goes through batteries on a remote controlled car for xmas. So in case you didn't get any... you might consider getting some inexpensive samplers here:


HIGH VOLTAGE SAMPLERS 12Mg 6ml Plastic Dropper Bottles

6 ML Nhale/Xhale Liquid Samplers - 24MG - NHaler

thanks guys I am glad I did research instead of buying a smoking everywhere like my friend for 200 dollars

2 joye 510's and a bottle of juice is 60

The joye 510 rocks, if you are going directly from smoking to vaping be sure to go pretty high on the nicotine, at least 24mg.

if you can make it a week or two before you backslide and have an analog you have a pretty good shot at never wanting a regular cig again. After a two week or so break from them they taste pretty freaking nasty in comparason to vaping

JDub, Nixa?
Used to boat at TableRock quite often!

Like other's have mentioned, make sure you have enough juice on hand, and coming in. Nothing worse than getting off Analogs for 10 days, 20 days, etc., etc., and then run out of juice, and relapse... Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance?

Seriously though, I'm always amazed in these forums, when someone posts that their Atty died, or they've run out of juice, and have relapsed to Analogs. With the price of Analogs, it's not hard to justify spending extra $'s on equipment, and juice? Get extra everything!!!!

 

[River]

By the way some of my fav tobacco flavors so far have been, mlb usa mix, camel, 555, and my newest fav that i just tried yesterday Hilton.

mlb tends to be slightly sweet, camel a little less sweet and 555 and hilton even less sweet.(at least to my taste buds)

pick up a few fruit flavors too they are amazing.

I grew up in olathe kansas, and spent most my life in KC... actualy have KC tattooed on my arm.

I will make sure to order enough juice

when I get a hobby I go all out so I have a feeling I can rack up bills fast.

I would have no problem smoking my marlboros but the damn fsc(fire safety control) kills the flavor I cannot stand it.

I need to order a few more batterys (manual and auto.. try both)

a PCC, few bottles of juice and a few atomizers

I want to quit real smokes for good

FSC in Reds was finally the "last straw" for me! Who knows what they were using to bond the additional paper, some said carpet glue? All I know is they tasted like "Toad Turds"....

I've only used manual batteries, as I like to control how long the Atty fires.
Do make sure you have enough Atty's also. friend of mine got a cignot.com no box kit for xmas from me, and lost one Atty already. So, he's down to one, and freaking.
USB pass-thru eliminates the need for Batteries while at home, and in car!

I would buy everything I need now but 3k on jeep parts is killin me

my boss gives me 30 seconds at most to smoke a cigarette twice a day because I have to help customers

so this will be perfect

should I stock up on e-cig stuff? I hear people are trying to ban them

Whether they do or not or what they would ban or not doesn't matter much - if you can afford the short term cash flow squeeze, you could stock up on juice and atomizers. Make sure you get the right model - advise a Joye 510 (like having a 45 or a 9mm - lots of ammo and parts). And find what juice you like. On batteries - all ecig batteries that come with kits are proprietary so a move to a mod -where the batteries are better and are available beyond the ecig market isn't a bad move. Eg. here's a relatively expensive model that mostly you could learn to make for yourself:

Bartleby

...because it's a variation (a very good one I might add) of this:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/16762-how-new-improved-nicostick.html

But you'll still need atomizers which aren't sold beyond the ecig market.. at the present anyway.

And you might look into going 'DIY' on juice too. You'd need a stock unflavored nic juice - the higher the better because you can then cut it with the cheaper VG or PG and then add flavorings. See DIYflavorshack when they get back from the holidays.

or perhaps there won't be a ban.... but even if there isn't, you'll still be using this stuff eventually. Again, there's no downside to stashing IF you get the right model, the right juice - you'll eventually consume it, and don't squeeze yourself too much on short term cash flow. Shelf life on juice is around 18 months to 2 years.
