    No you can't
    thank you. i see that Johnson Creek makes the flavor for the Blu disposable i use. which eGo would you recommend for a newbie like me? also, i see that you're also in NYC. do you know of a good smoke shop that has some of these products for me to check out in person? thanks again!

    I started out with Johnson Creek vea, come with 2 batteries. I still use them good product. Had one battery came apart they exchanged

    The VEA is what it is can do better with cost like going streight to a vamo>-----<

    If within six (6) months from the date of purchase, your Johnson Creek Enterprises Vea™(battery unit only) fails due to a defect in material or workmanship, Johnson Creek Enterprises LLC will replace it free of charge for a period not to exceed six (6) months.>-----<
    Still use them there's a place for them with me, it's my backup units etc.
    I recommend for newbe go for the vamo for about 50 bucks very good starting point, also will need a backup unit. If you have one device and it brakes down you can't vape thats a no no. you want enough of everything that once you start you never have to stop!

    I don't know of any smoke shops around me. Get all 100% of my stuff on internet. Big savings on tax.

    is the starter kit price well worth it? i heard that the battery doesn't last long. could you tell me some personal pros and cons with the eRoll? thank you!

    The starter kit comes with 1 complete ecig. I recommend to buy another cone so that you can have 2 complete ones. The battery doesn't last long depending on how you use it. It comes with an extra tank to fill juice. The tank doesn't hold much actually. I was going through a pretty bad breakup when I started vaping, so I would literally chain smoke all day at my office and then at home. So I found that I had to take out the tank, and refill with juice every couple hours.

    I also comes with a personal charging case that I would charge up either the night before, or at my desk with a usb. After I vaped a few times, I'd throw the eRoll into the PCC, and switch it out with the one I just used and start vaping like a mad woman. It was perfect, and totally discreet.

    So, positives. Super discreet, and light weight, and resembles an analog. I haven't used any other device, but I love the throat hit, and I also love the vapor that comes out. Also, I have found it doesn't leak, and when it did leak it was because I didn't flip it upside down with the tank facing down.

    Negatives. Battery doesn't last long, and when you're chain vaping, even the PCC loses it's charge. Even though the PCC shows as charging the battery, I was finding that my hits just weren't as good, and I would have to keep the PCC plugged into the USB after 2 or 3 charges of the battery. The tank is kinda small, so the amount of ejuice is limited.

    If you end up buying and using one, I've found a few tricks that made it work better for me. I liked it so much, I actually went and bought another starter kit, and some extra atomizers and tanks. Apparently, you can rebuild the atomizers, but I haven't gotten to that type of tinkering yet.

    Me: I was about a 8 analog/day smoker. Smoked light to regular smokes. I started off with 18mg, and tried 12mg, but found that it wasn't enough for me. I'm at 21mg, and that seems to be the sweet spot for me. I have been using 70/30 and 80/20 ratio.

    Hope that helps.

    You can go there to try out ecig hardware and taste the juices they stock. Nothing better than, try before you buy!

    BTW, one of the reasons the Njoys may be a harsh hit to you is they come in 30mg. and 45mg. nicotine strengths. Blu's I believe are 18mg. nic. Nicotine content effects throat hit.

    Hey coffee. Welcome from a fellow NYer, relatively new to vaping. I skipped the cigalikes and went for the eGo Twist, which has worked out great for me. discountvapers.com is in CT, and they have great customer service and fast shipping - for future reference. I haven't been out to Jamaica to check out vapeny. Some of the smoke shops sell limited supplies, and they are hit and miss (none of them are consistent to my knowledge). I would just say to take as much time as you can to make sure you will enjoy your initial set-up. This might be especially true since you didn't like the disposable cigalikes you've used so far. Finding a juice flavor that I really liked was my biggest challenge once I had the eGo. Happy hunting.

    Was wondering how you were doing with your cig-alike. I've been on mistic for about 2 months now, and have finally realized I wanted something better and cheaper to keep up. My son is on his way to vapeny atm to find me an alternative. When I called there they were very helpful and understanding (I don't want a monster sized e-cig OR to get into any kind of "ritual," i.e., constant dripping, etc.) I don't know if anyone has been to the shop or not, but I will update when he gets home.
