Just wanted to say hello, and maybe introduce myself a bit.
My name is Allen and I'm 28 years old, I'm new to E-Cigs and have never tried them before. I'll be 29 in August and i have been smoking since i was 15-16 years old. I started out with Marlboro Reds and smoked those up until i was 19 then I switched to Marlboro Menthol, but since i switched to Menthol i have never been able to smoke a non-Menthol Cigarette without a gag reflex kicking in because they lack flavor and taste nasty.. My Wife thinks that's mainly because i have an Oral fixation with Menthol and not so much of an addiction to Nicotine, So I'm not to sure on that.. I honestly believe it may be a combination of both Oral Fixation of Menthol and addiction to nicotine.. For the Past few days i have been researching various E-cig products and suppliers, and checking posts here on the forums and seeing what peoples advice on certain product. I'v read reviews, and just pretty much been overly committed on wanting to try this product because after reading and researching, I'm fairly optimistic and/or hopeful that this will work for me. Even at the very least to help me cut down dramatically..(I Average 1 pack a day since i started). The Product that i choose had great reviews from the product on the site as well as other people on several different E-cig forums. its the Joye 510 Cignot.com

Hopefully ill be getting this by Monday or Tuesday so i can begin experimenting with it with the different Menthol Liquids that i also got coming in from Totally Wicked...

I honestly think I'm all set, iv researched & also watched plenty of user made Utube videos explaining on how to operate,clean,refill, and mix your own Juices. I didn't order any Accessories yet, because i just purchased the basic set just to try it out, to make sure its right for me before i go all out and buy extras of everything. I will definitely be buying alot of products if everything goes well. Any Advice or oppinions on the product that i choose, or anything i should get in the future that would help with trying to make the transition from a Analog to E-cig successful would be appreciated!

I dont know about menthol... but the 510 is the way to go. i think yo made the right choice for your 1st purchase. 510 cartomizers just came out... i recommend looking into those. im more than sure you will be pleased with your new lifestyle. just keep up the good spirits, and hang around ECF. everyone here was in nearly the same position you are now, and are more than willing to help out!

Welcome!

Hi, Allen! Welcome to the forum. So far, you're off to a great start; 510 from cignot! An excellent choice. Take it slow, tinker with it a bit, ask some questions...by the end of the first week you'll have a pretty good idea of what to do next, be it a mod or a different juice or whatever. For most people, they don't get exactly what they want (the perfect mix) the very first time, but almost everyone gets something that'll get them off the analogs until they figure it out. As long as you got 2 atty's, 2 batts, a charger, some juice and some carts, you'll be good to go. Have Fun!

Hey, my name is Jorge. I started Vaping 3 weeks ago with a 510 and I’m loving it. I came from almost a pack a day (Benson & Hedges) and I don’t miss smoking at all.
A couple days ago, I smoked an analog just for curiosity and I didn’t enjoy it! I’m finally recovering my life and feeling better… my clothes and house are not stinky anymore.
I started with 16 mg tobacco juice but since discovering flavors I’ve been mixing different strengths and my new plan is to only vape 16 mg nic after meals and use non-nic all other times… so far is great, not cravings at all… Vaping is simply the best!

Hi Allen and Jorge.

I am also a menthol smoker that couldn't stand non-menthol cigarettes. So naturally, my first e-cig order was for menthol, and only menthol. Forunately, the company that I ordered from threw in a few extras that included some flavors that I would have never considered buying, and I'm glad they did. The fruit flavors are awesome.

Now I'm on a kick to try every flavor out there.
