Rule the world with an iron cigarette huh. Craziness. Well, Im hoping they do the trick for me and do not get banned. Is this something they are close to doing or is just a matter of time before it happens, or just something floating around.
I think I am going to make an order tomorrow. Should I be expecting to be placing orders for various items every week, 2 weeks, monthly? I am going to read through the thread about where to get stuff probably when i get home and tomorrow befoe I order. I think I want to get a starter kit, rather than tying to put things together myself.

Pilot truckstops carry Npro ecigs and carts. Lotta folks rag on them for being expensive but mine have been really reliable. Plus if you don't have any carts loaded you can get some pre filled.

It's a good way to look at one in person.

So what kind of radar/lidar you guys running. Ga. State Patrol is DEADLY with Ka instant on 8-o Plus I've been seeing a lot more lidar around here lately...

I'm a medic turned nurse...

Good luck with the ecig. it works for me.

We use Enforcer traffic radar systems.They are decent i guess, but I dont use them. I dont like running radar, havent used one in about 9 years. We also have some handheld radar and our traffice units use the lasers. I am a training officer, and when it is time for themto train to use a radar, I send them to someone else, lol.
I dont know if we have any Pilot stops around here. Most of our stops are Loves. Maybe I will check them out just to see.

To start once you get your ecig and start vaping if you feel a little funny or sick that's pretty normal your body has to adjust to pg. If pg dose not agree with you like some people try switching to VG. whatever you do don't give up, you will get it right and love it like we all do!!It is a Little expensive at first but it is soooo much better than cigs.:D

Consider purchasing a USB passthrough, extra atomizers and a 12volt USB plug. That way even if you don't have extra batteries, you can screw the USB passthrough on to the atomizer, plug the USB end into the 12volt plug and plug in to the cigarette lighter/power port in your vehicle. Then you only need to worry about liquid for your carts. The passthrough can also be plugged into your computer when at home. Then you're only using batteries when you're out and about.

I found a Pilto stop in Weatherford, about 25 miles from me. I might check them out tomorrow. Thanks srtga

No problem! I started out with the Npro, which looks like a cigarette. I wouldn't fool with it because the cartriges don't last very long.

The Njoy "penstyle" has served me well for several months. A couple of carts and both charged batteries last me all day. I bought 2 boxes of carts from Pilot and ordered 20ml of juice and refilled them when empty.

I ordered some juice from Puresmoker to start with but Dietsmokes has really fast shipping right now.(2 days to Ga.) Plus he's in Tx.

It isn't exactly like smoking but it does work for me.

From reading it seems that the quality of these things is hit or miss but I've had pretty good luck. I ordered a 510-c from dietsmokes and got it today and it works pretty well but I can't really comment on durability.

Good luck!
 
OK, I just watched the video by Spiky. alot of good info on there. I think I am set on the DSE901 to start with. Now, I just need to decide where I want to try and buy one from :confused:.

Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping, moodybu!
I highly recommend puresmoker, I have nothing but positive things to say about this company. The equipment and juice are top notch and their customer service is the best. Check out their website.
Best of luck to you!!

I wonder about this. I didn't feel "funny or sick" at all after changing from cigs to ecigs in one day. And last year it didn't seem like many folks did.

I'm not sure if we've got people hyped up about everything little thing now, or if it's just that folks who do have problems are posting and folks who don't have problems don't write about it ala "Hey I'm Vaping Now And I'm Fine!"

Or, more concerning, maybe it's cuz last year we were using more expensive products.

Thanks to all. I will watch the video when i get home, this computer wont allow it. So, do you guys think that you might be addicted to this. If you stopped, would you quickly go back to analogs? Is the majority of people here or use these to replace analogs or in an attempt to completely quit smoking?

Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping! And to the best place on the Net to find out the information you need.

It's my impression that the majority of the folks here are trying to quit, or at least reduce their nicotine consumption, though there are some (myself included,) who vape because we just prefer it to smoking. IMO vaping is how smoking ought to be, but too often isn't (but then I'm a pipe man, so my analogue habit was a lot fiddlier than cigs anyway, what with cleaning/rubbing flake/packing/getting an even burn/etc.)
I love my nicotine, and have no intention of reducing my intake, but I think it's great that there's such a diversity of folks here, working together towards a common goal of harm reduction, and joined by a common commitment to personal choice.

The fear of a ban seems to be very real (it has already happened in Australia,) but also seems kinda strange to a lot of us Europeans (there hasn't been anything like the same hoohah over here - maybe that's because we don't have a Big Tobacco industry of our own lobbying our government to protect its profits - but perhaps I'm too cynical ;))

Having said that, there is no way the authorities are going to be able to control personal imports from China, so I hope the existing US community is safe enough. If they're supressed from open retail, it will condemn a lot more smokers to "death by analogs" who might otherwise have seen the benefits and taken up vaping however :(

I am going to read through the thread about where to get stuff probably when i get home and tomorrow befoe I order. I think I want to get a starter kit, rather than tying to put things together myself.

My goal for my first order was to get enough for 3 month's worth of vaping. I got an 801 and a 901 with 2 batteries and 2 atomizers, and 50 filled carts for each e-cig. I got 90 ml of 11 mg marlboro-flavored juice.

I got some glycerine and some Lorann flavorings. I have been enjoying vaping just flavoring and glycerine sometimes, so I think my stash will actually last about 4 months.

I smoked a pack and a half of ultra lights per day. 11 mg strength was perfect to start, but now I cut it to about 5 to 8 mg strength. You can save money by getting 36 mg and cutting it, or you can go the easy route and just buy the strength you need, which is, in my opinion, 11 mg for an ultralite smoker.
