Last month I was in the hospital for four days and when I got out I decided to quit. I hadn't smoked for four days
so figured it was a good time. I knew I would panic and probably start again, so I decided to get an e-cig. I
got a starter pac at my local smoke shop. It is called "Safer Smoke Supply" and it looks just like a fiter
cigarette. I like it a lot but the batteries seem to run down quickly. Anyone else use this. Do you like it.
Did you change to something else you like better. Is using the liquids cheaper? Thanks.

Alot of us started with a cig-alike type e-cig and found out the same thing as you have found....the batteries don't last long enough. Also, the batteries aren't as strong hitting as a better and bigger e-cig. Most of us soon graduated to a bigger battery to obtain the satisfaction we needed. Plus the batteries will last a whole day of heavy vaping without having to recharge them. You also get alot more vapor and throat hit from a bigger battery. An Ego Twist type battery, or Spinner are ideal for getting your feet wet and easy to use. You will be pleasantly surprised at how much more satisfaction you will get from vaping with them. Plus you can use many different types of tanks to hold juice on top that are easily refilled with e-liquid. Also, it is much cheaper to buy a bottle of eliquid and refill a tank than it is to buy disposable cartomizers that don't hold much juice and don't last very long. There's alot of vendors that sell some really delicious flavors as well. Best of Luck to You!

I'm into this about 5 months now. Those starter kits are just that. Do yourself a favor and look into the eGo Twists with a iClear 16 atomizer and start trying some juice flavors. You will be amazed!!! I guarantee it!!! If you can't get these locally, try ordering the atomizer and battery from FasTech.com. They deliver rather quickly and their $$ are great. Also, see if you can find any local stores where you can taste test the juices right there. As far as ordering juice on line, you never know what you're gonna get. I've got a bunch of bottles that taste nasty. Good luck and welcome aboard!!!!!!

Welcome aboard. And yes, filling a tank with juice is way more cost effective then buying prefilled cartimizors. I would say more but the 2 folks in front of me said it very nicely.

I tried blu ecigs at first, but like you I discovered the battery life to be terrible and they didn't replace a real cig for me. One day I was out and the battery died so I just picked up a pack of cigs and said screw it. Fast forward six months and I got sick of smoking to the point I was ready to do anything to quit so I went by the vape shop by my work and they set me up with an ego starter kit for 50 bucks and some juice. I loved it. I caught the vaping fever, bad. Three months later and I'm vaping on an zmax with an rsst rebuildable. Haven't had a single analog since. Some people like cig alikes, but for me it was better to move to something that bore no resemblance to a cigarette, and looked more like an alien space dildo.

Welcome to ECF, thats probably where 90% of us started. Do some research and find a good ego kit andcstart experimenting, it can become addicting real quick.

Welcome to ECF.
I started about 4 years ago with a cigalike. I was between 2 to 3 packs a day and just got tired of spending all that money on analogs. Havent loooked back since.
