New to vapour, bought a cheapy from DealExtreme - good idea?

[Piers]

Hello everyone, I have been a traditional smoker for ten years but thought it was time to try digital. I purchased this model but now have doubts about safety of all e cigarettes. The main worry is leaking carts.

From what I have read the best method to avoid nicotine liquid is to inhale slowly, does anyone know anything else about this model (maybe a model number?) or have any words of advice?

Cheers,

Piers

Hi Piers, welcome to the forum
I've ordered stuff from DX before. By the time it arrives you'll have forgotten you ordered it and it will be a *surprise*
Also.....that delay will allow you to read a few odds and ends here at the ECF.
There are lots of kits that will help you with smoking and several that are not at all expensive.
You'll hear about them in a second......

I started on something similar (M402 manual) and no it's not a good choice. Anything the same diameter of a cigarette is not a good choice. The mouthpiece contains a tiny recessed juice cup that holds very little juice. You probably got auto batteries which are more easily damaged or killed by liquids and make it harder to get a good hit. But the tiny juice cart and lack of options are what I could not live with (plus the way atomizer cartridges can dump their juice out).

But heck, it got you here. And as annoying as they are, those little things do have decent flavor. I only put up with the annoyances for 3 weeks and it did keep me off cigs, but then I bought 2 better models (still slim, just not quite as slim - more like 9.2mm). Months later I started adding big long-charge models to my collections (some people do that right away)

I still leave the tiny ecig like your incoming set up at home with an extra flavor.

BTW you better order some eliquid. You will probably go through several of those little carts per day.

I'd go to the Liberty Flights website. Better pv with a nice warranty.

Hey, for the price I wouldn't worry about it. But in the meantime you may want to do some more research because there's lots better stuff out there.

...cheap kit...cheap experience...while waiting, goto Liberty Flights or Jacvapour and pick up a quality kit...I would recommend an eGo/Riva 510 as a good starter...the 510 threading is the most popular with plenty of options to "grow" your experience.......

My experience with DealExtreme has been less the stellar. It's been a week and I still haven't gotten a ship email and they don't respond to email. Like the others said, you aren't going to be very satisfied with one of those skinny ecigs. I would follow the above recommendations if it were me.
