Hello all, just figured I'd come out of the shadows and introduce myself.. 
Have been working in the bar industry for around 15-years and was pretty much a two-pack a day smoker for most of that time. When the smoking ban in my state took affect, that cigarette intake went down a little bit, but not as much as it should have really...
Anyways, my brother actually told me about e-cigs about 6 months ago and I pretty much went out and bought the first brand I found out there.. The NJoy... What an awful mistake that was... (no offense to the njoy users out there.)
The flavor was awful and the vapor was non-existent. It was almost painful to smoke on the dumb thing, especially with the cartridges they provide with it.
I had a friend using an Intellicig and when I saw it I was immediately jealous.
Gave the Njoy monstrosity to my sister and bought an M4 from Innovapor. Loved it! But the battery-life SUCKED! So I did the only logical thing and bought several batteries... Well... I actually bought A LOT of batteries..
But even that became a pain because I was now carrying around several batteries in my pockets along with some juice from AromaEjuice and a spare atomizer. It was kind of a hassle.
Thats basically when I decided to start stalking this forum and use all of you for your endless archives of knowledge.
Last week I bought a couple 510 mega-batteries and a ton of different flavors from Jason at electronicstix.
FINALLY I feel like I am off and running with this nice new hobby that keeps me from smoking.
Now I've gone from about a carton a week to one-cigarette every couple of days. My fiance' (who is a nurse) is ecstatic about this dramatic cutback in my cigarette intake. Even though she wasn't too incredibly pleased with me proudly showing her the horrific ball of green/brown "stuff" that i coughed up the other day, she is still happy regardless..
Anyways,
Just a word of thanks to all of you who have taken the time to experiment and share your findings/knowledge with the rest of us. You are truly appreciated.
I'll be around the forums and share any noobish revelations that I may have!
