Hi there, new member finally getting around to posting. (too busy reading the forum and trying to wrap my brain around all of this). Smoked analogs for 20 years, (Camel Filters in the beginning and then Camel Lights(Pack a day smoker)(Sure was fun collecting Camel Bucks and getting all the cool Camel stuff back in the day). About two years ago got my first exposure to e-cigs by buying one from the local 7 Eleven. Thought I could quit the analogs, but it was tough, the "high dose" from the e-cig was not nearly enough for me. quit the analogs for about 2 weeks then the "cheapie" e-cig battery died, bought another and that one broke in a few days also. Was just easier to grab another carton of analogs and be done with it. Fast Forward two years and my co-worker came in with an cE4/ego battery starter kit. Thought wow they have come a long way in the past two years. Then the thoughts of quitting came back. It is Vapor opened a store locally where my co-worker had bought his and figured could go and take a look. Both my Wife and I smoke and with the costs of analogs going up was spending over $60 a week to support our addiction. So figured just go and buy a starter sets for the both of us and see where it goes. Dropped $100 on 2 stater sets and five bottles of e-juice. If all works out will be able to save a ton of money over time. We got a few Kanger MT3's and USB Pass-through batteries. So now a month later and we are both analog free. Still have an unopened pack of camels on my desk to remind me I quit smoking, kind of like a momento. Maybe I will throw in the freezer for the zombie apocolypse or for when the world is about to end, you know do one of those "in case of emergency" glass cases. I digress, the first few days of being analog free seemed to go ok, as I know I was getting the nicotine because I bought 24mg e-juice. Was probably over dosing on it TBH, but only time I got a real craving was first thing in the morning and after meals. Still have that craving in the morning but not as bad, after meals is a little tougher, but have been doing fine just vaping. I think I have just tricked myself in thinking I am still smoking because of the tobacco flavor. After a month of being analog free, my sense of smell is getting better as is my tastebuds, water tastes different for some reason..... (idk prolly just my imagination). Funny because both of us can smell a cigarette from a mile away now. I think the thing I like the most is I don't smell like an ashtray anymore.
So current setup is 5 MT3's and a Protank. Protank is Tobacco Flavor (my main daily vape), the MT3's are variuos flavors, just to change things up. MT3's were interesting as the coils last either a few days or a few weeks. Quality control is questionable at best. Saw a video on youtube about re-coiling and re-wicking, so have been doing that, in my attempt to save money, actually has as the re-building of the coils has worked out well on the MT3's. Have only had the Protank for about a week, still on original coil so far so good. Loving the Protank so far! Since the recoiling went well, starting into the next thing, DIY ejuice. So bought the kit from DIYShop and doing research here, made my first batch of e-juice last week.
Next up looking for a VV battery solution, just been reading and watching reviews. Haven't narrowed it down yet. Still debating if I want to do the research and build one myself.
Sorry for such a wordy post, but like everything else, if you are gonna do something, then go and just in and do it.
