New Smoker, need help

[CueBunny_]

I recently turned 18 and decided to try out e cigs mainly because most of my friends did them. I decided to start with blu which seemed to be the best choice at the time. I bought the $40 starter kit from walgreens and i haven't had any problem with it till now. For some reason the battery pack wont charge the batteries anymore or even take any charge. Ive tried messing with it alot but i havent had any luck.
I was going to buy the Blu USB charger but here is the real problem, my parents dont know that i smoke and they would freak out if i did. the only place they sell these is online which means they have to ship it out. I could try to get a friend to take the package for me and then get it off of him but is it worth it? are there better smoking brands out there that you can find in a general store?
Again im new to all this so any information is appreciated.

Best thing to do is to come clean with the parents, imo.

Lets take all that out of the situation, if you were to recommend a reliable brand that i can find in stored what would it be?

 

[itskohler]

In a regular store or ecig store?

preferably a regular store, i dont know of any e cig stores in my area

Blu is the only brand they sell I think. Do yourself a favor and put all of it down.

The nicotine addiction that you don't have yet isn't worth fitting in with your friends.

its just a usb charger...what on earth could they possibly suspect from a usb charger in the mail? its not like the usb charger is packed in bud leaves with a syringe or biohazard logo or anything lol

you could always buy another starter kit or just have a friend order it for you. Worst case scenario, you'll be driving to every gas station and smoke shop in town finding what you're looking for...not really a big deal. take a friend it could be fun

I went online to blu and called them, they said they dont sell the charger anywhere but online :/

Just drop the non-existent addiction... besides that

Identify the connection type and order a generic usb charger. Your parents won't know what it is. If they find out, tell them that you're vaping 0 nic.

Whatever you do, don't take up smoking cigarettes.

Ok, here we go. Who ever said she had to use nicotine? This kid is asking for advice to possibly quit a nasty habit we have all had hell with and she comes here to get the same line my parents gave me and prob yours gave you which did nothing but push me deeper into a 20 year habit. So answer her question with a little wisdom and love and maybe just maybe, you will pass it on.

For my two cents, get yourself a mod. Do it right from the get go with commitment and determination. A mod with a protank or similar. Dont worry about leaking issues you will hear about. There is a very simple fix which I posted somewhere last night while I was trying to get in my "first five". I would def encourage you to use vaping to cut bk the nicotine. Or not. Whatever works. Just for gods sake leave the smoking in the past. Ive seen too many people die the most miserable deaths I can imagine, thank you tobacco industry, politicians, AMA, and pharmacom.

Do you have a certain mod you would recommend? something that preferably is under or around $50

My apologies. I am gender annunciation biased I guess. Had your monicker been beer slurpin bunny or blood fanged evil bunny I might have imagined.

I have an SVD. Those tend to run 60 to 70 online. Id say pick any one of them, google reviews on it, and let er rip. There are so many good ones Ive found since I bought mine. The tank is where the problems seem to lie. I can fix your leaks but little worthwhile for the dry hitting. Protank dry hit less than the Iclear. Thats all Ive used. RBA/RDA is the way to go but you need to research coil building if you decide to jump that track. its no where near as hairy as people make you think but it is something worth a bit of respect.

boner killer

if you've got issues with suspicious parents and getting packages in the mail you may not want to bother with a mod. its gona take a hell of a magic act to find the parts you need in stores like walgreens lol

go for an ego battery with a cheapish tank or a starter kit from a smoke shop. you can buy and replace all your parts there
