and working to meet the post requirements. 
Hello all. I am not only new to the forum, but new to e-cigs as well. Actually I tried a well known brand a few years ago and was absolutely not impressed. It was less than a month ago, just around my 43rd birthday, I decided to see where technology has gotten the modern e-cig.
After a week of excessively reading reviews of sites & cigs, I purchased a 510 Mega manual (cartomizer) kit from AltSmoke.com. I was happy with my purchase, but my mind still wanted an analog at the pertinent times (with morning coffee, immediately after meals, post coitus
, etc.)... that was until I (promptly) received my order from madvapes. I got the Sit & Go USB passthrough and the E2 R4 Cartomizers. I haven't had, nor wanted, an analog since.
My history of smoking -
I stole/borrowed a pack each from my parent's cartons a week from the age of 9. By 13, I was able to buy my own and was smoking around a half pack a day. From 16 to the present (43) it varied from a pack to sometimes two per day... rolling (injecting) my own for the past 7-8 years (Zig-Zag menthol with light filtered 100 tubes).
In 1999, I developed a neurological problem and in 2006 it was finally diagnosed as Parkinsons Disease. No, I don't want to start the debate over whether nicotine and/or smoking helps to hold off the progression (health degeneration) of the disease, but with the comparison between myself and 2 dear friends who also have the early onset of PD, I'm actually doing alot better than either of them... so draw your own conclusion... but as for myself, I am rather convinced nicotine has its beneficial properties... and that's not something I am willing to give up or risk.
I do have a question about the E2 R4 Cartomizers. I have already bent the plastic needle in numerous places (I've ordered more), and if you think VG was difficult to pass the plastic needle, you should try it with 3 kinks in the needle. LOL Any suggestions of an easier way to fill these for someone who has spastic movement issues? Can they be condom filled (from battery end)?

I am extremely impressed with MadVapes product line and if they continue to expand, like it appears from the 'product suggestion' thread, then this is as close to one stop shopping as it gets. AND the knowledge of the members of the ECF seems truly par to none. Almost every search engine I used in researching questions I had/have seems to always lead me back to ECF... as a self proclaimed geek, I'm really digging the info shared.
