Hi. I have been looking at e-cigs for awhile. I have read good reviews on the 510. I have been thinking about purchasing the starter kit from Cignot. I am not for sure what else I will need to purchase with it. I have read I need to purchase juice...which is cheaper than replacing the carts. I looked at the juice on Cignot and am kind of confused on which to purchase. I smoke Marlboro Lights.. about half a pack to a pack a day. I am ready to quit and feel that the e-cigs may help. Its worth a shot anyways. I was just wanting some opinions on what others thought. Also, what nicotine mg should I purchase? I also noticed Cignot has regular flavor??? Not for sure what this flavor would be...just plain? Sorry if these are to many questions. Just kind of confused on all this. Thanks.

The regular that I have tried dont have much flavor but I guess tastes kind of like an analog.
MG i say get 36 and try it.. if its too strong cut it 25 percent with pg or vg and try again.
I personally would try whatever marlboro flavor they have if you smoked marlboro lights.
vapor4life.com has trial sizes if you want to experiment with different flavors and see which you like best.

Well, you've made the right decision with the 510 IMO, and cignot is a good place to get it from. I think you'll be very pleased :) Getting the liquid and filling your own carts is definitely cheaper and better than using the pre-filled carts, but be sure to buy some dry carts to put the liquid in.

As for the liquid, there are a few things you should know. Most liquids are PG (propylene glycol) based, but some are VG (vegetable glycerin) based. Some people have unpleasant reactions to PG and so prefer to use VG. I'd say most people are fine with PG so I'd start with that, since there's a bigger selection to choose from. I, myself use PG liquid (RY4 flavor from MyVaporStore.com) and mix it with about 1/3 VG. You can get VG at any health food or supplement store; just be sure it says "UPS" on the label. I buy the highest nicotine liquid I can get, so mixing in the VG reduces the nicotine content and gives me more vapor (VG produces lots of vapor). You can also get a high nic juice and some 0 nic juice and mix them together until you find the nicotine level you're comfortable with.

A word of caution: cignot sells ecoPURE e-juice, which is VG-based. I love that it's VG, but I think it's strange-tasting juice. They had a problem recently with a batch that wasn't mixed properly and tasted horrible. I was assured those problems had been corrected and I would be receiving the "good" stuff; however, I found it had very little flavor (I ordered their "rich" flavor), and what flavor it had was just plain weird. Some people love the stuff though, so it's up to you. Being a newby, though, I suggest you buy either a different juice from their website (I can't vouch for them, not having tried them), or get some juice from a different vendor. If you really want tobacco flavor, try Marlboro or Camel. They don't taste like the cigs they're named after, but they do taste like tobacco. I love my RY4 juice; it's a sweet, caramel-like flavor, but it does have a subtle tobacco undertone to it. It's too sweet for many, but lots of people love it. I buy from myvaporstore.com because they have great prices and very fast shipping.

Anyway, don't worry too much about these things. You're off to a great start with the 510. If you don't like the juice you get, you can always get a different brand or flavor later.

18mg is a good place to start. You don't want to start too high and end up having to cut it down, as you're new to the craft - it could go very wrong. Cignot is a great place to order, great shipping. There are a few other sites that are great to order from as well. I have them listed on my website linked in my sig if you want to check them out. All great reputable dealers.

I might suggest either Awesomevapor.com, or thehouseofvapor.com. Neither of their sites are all that eye catching, but they offer great deals and they have great e-juice.

Good luck with what you do!
