New Vape fan

[Ken62]

Hello from Northern California.

I have been a 1 1/2 pack menthol smoker for over 30 years. I have tried quitting many times and have never made it past 1 full day until now. A couple of nights ago I got a disposable e-cig and couldn't believe how good it tasted and how well it satisfied the craving. Last night I got the BLU Starter kit from Walgreens and am enjoying the experience, taste and satisfaction. I'm not impressed by battery life and am glad I have 2 batteries.

My plan is to vape for a while and work my way down to the no nicotine cart and quit from there.

Sounds like a plan.

Thanks for the welcome's! We will be out and about Christmas shopping this afternoon and I hope to find somewhere that carries accessories. I sure would like a couple of extra batteries; in summer I spend long days at the softball fields and 2-3 hours of battery life won't cut it.

maybe you could try get a ego or a mod where the battery life can last a whole day of vaping

Congratulations and welcome to ECF!

I just HATE being a spur of the moment purchaser!

Yesterday morning one of the BLU batteries failed and I was not happy! We were at the mall and were talking to the "Smoking Vapor" rep who talked me into his product. (I hope I can return the BLU due to it being faulty). The battery on the Smoking Vapor setup is much better as is the taste of the menthol! I Vaped pretty much constantly for the past 4 hours or so and so far the battery is still strong.

While in town for last minute shopping today I will be stopping by a vape-shop to get some juice.

Sounds like you need a Personal Charging Case (PCC) to alleviate your battery issues.


Blu has a good PCC available.
Did your Blu starter kit not come with one?

I too suggest you get an eGO or something affordable like that, as with what you will spend an a few extra starter kits/batteries and per filled cartos over a few months of vaping you could instead have a nice unit and some juices you really like to fill your own. I started the way you have, and only after 5 different starter kits of cig-look-a-likes (at $35 to $50 bucks a pop) did I finally realize that these kind will never have the taste, battery life, and vapor production I needed. So 200 dollars later I ponied up the dough and bought my Provari and accessories, juices, cartomizers...and we'll more than I really needed. You definitely do not need to spend so much, at least not yet and with your intention of only vaping a short while to wean off of nicotine and quit it all together anyway. So yes, eGo or something equivalent, if you can give up on the "looks like a cigarette" inclination that so many new capers have, would be my recommendation.

Happy vaping and congrats!

Just to warn you, the banners don't auto update, at least they didn't use to. If I remember correctly it's your signature.

Look into getting an ego style battery, the few issues you have would be solved!
Maybe try clearomizers, and fill with the many types of eLiquid.

Some great stuff here for sure!

Congrats on quitting smoking and I have to second what CarbonThief said. When I quit, I bought a couple disposables just to see if vaping was something I could get into that would help with quitting. When I realized it was, I did a little research on these boards and then moved into a moderately expensive variable voltage device with replaceable batteries. I bought a kit, an extra battery, a few pre-filled cartomizers and some juices. The pre-filled cartos got me past my learning curve with filling my own cartos and the extra battery meant no downtime. I then moved on to carto tanks and found that to be my perfect delivery mechanism. I can only say if you've found your way here, you've probably found the best vaping resource around. The only better thing would be a friend who could let you try their stuff!

Thank you. I found that I am TOO NEW! I have to post more before the signature will show. I'll do my own: Started Vaping 5 days ago. Avoided 200 analogs. Haven't saved any money 'cause I keep buying more vaping stuff.
