New to E-cigs

[Blue Falcon]

Hey everyone. I started smoking when I got deployed to Iraq, Now I'm back and I promised my wife I would stop. But its been harder than I expected. I've tried dipping but it seems I'm addicted more to the habit than the nicotine. I saw an advertisement banner online about e-cigs and wondered if it actually worked, well after finding this site and researching for about 5 hours, I decided to order my first E-cig. I went with the 510. Can't wait for it to come in. I'll let you know how It works for me.

Good choice getting a manual switch PV (personal vaporizer). Maybe you already did, but I would strongly suggest getting liquid to re-fill your carts or to use with blank carts. Much better flavor, variety and costs much less. My two favorite flavors are KENT and RY4 (tobacco with a hint of carmel/vanilla). Here are some good suppliers:

Congrats on getting out of the sandbox in one piece.

I'm going to second the liquid recomendation. Everyone's got their favorites and I would say try lots of stuff until you find what works for you.

Also, don't be a tool like me and end up with a serious nic craving+no atomizers and have to beg around to find a local vaper to help me out. If you take to it, order yourself 4-5 spare atomizers and an extra battery or two. I haven't used a 510(yet), but people say good things about the PCC(Basically a portable charger), should help if you find you're a heavy vaper.

Congratulations Falcon. I have the 510 and I love it. Great choice. I hope you got the PCC as well. Good luck and welcome home!

I think it pretty much depends on how much he currently smokes with respect to whether he needs a PCC or not. One 510 battery lasts me all day, and I will never need a PCC myself, but then I only smoked 5 or less cigarettes per day, and that is also how I vape.

I guess most people here were heavy smokers, and assume everyone else is just like them.
That's probably natural, but not always really that helpful.

Good point. I do vape a lot more than you. My batteries only last about 3 hours. I'd be up the creek without my PCC. A light vaper can get by without it.

Sorry I didn't mention. I also ordered some strawberry liquid. And BTW, I smoked at LEAST a pack and a half in Iraq, now that I'm back, I only smoke about a half of a pack a day. Just a random question, has anyone ever smoked a hookah? For some reason in my mind vapor would be similar to hookah smoke. Just wondering how it compares.

I probably will get a pocket carrier. I like to smoke in the car and whenever I go out, not just at home. Thanks for all the replies and the support.

I have, and it's...different. Hard for me to describe the difference. You get a sweetness out of PG that is lacking in a hookah, even with the flavored tobaccos. Also, there is less of an 'edge' to the throat hit(Mostly, anyway. Fresh battery and a fresh cart of something like mint will give it).

Well, still waiting on my ecigs to arrive. I really can't wait cause i'm getting tired of my wife giving me crap about my analogs, but I can't blame her.
