Newbie Vaping is frustrating

[Timepassenger]

First of all I wish I would have known about this forum before I started. Its been a week off of real cigs for me now but believe me it hasn't saved me much money so far.
I started by by doing the Kiosk thing. Big Mistake!!!!! paid $110 for Smoke Everywhere kit and found out later I didnt even get all the kit.
Smoke Everywhere Gold 3.0 not to bad hits and very good battery life for me good thing because they shorted me a battery. juice flavor sucks and the e-cig draws too much air but I found that can be regulated by rolling the cig in fingers to cover intake holes.
Second mistake was placing an order with that E-Cig.net in China. Real Fast Shipping but I only wish I would have recieved what I ordered and BTW they leave the real shipping costs a surprise til later and charged my card twice. Lord knows how long before that mess gets straightened out.

Now that I found this Forum I am hoping things get cheaper,

And a bonus I live in Wisconsin and found Johnsons Creek

So thanks to everyone on the forum I am sure I will have tons of questions, First one being where can I find parts for this Smoke Everywhere I think from reading the Model is RN 4081, I need Cartridges and batteries and possibly a box charger for traveling or usb/car charger

Welcome to ECF! You'll find lots of help here, so just ask all the questions you want. Be sure to read the Library section too. Lots & lots of stuff here. Enjoy!!!

In the end, whether you save money in the end is all up to you. Some here do save, some turn it into a whole new hobby. So dive in and do with it what you want. lol! Who knew quitting smoking could be so fun?

Save yer money and get a new kit after doing some research on the forum. You might take a hit and spend a little more now but in the long run you will be much happier. Think of it this way... If you smoked a pack a day you could be spending about $200 a month. You can get away with dumping another $90 into a nice ego or riva kit and get some good juice and still be ahead of the game. Jump on the suplier forum and you should be able to find something you might like. I started with V4L and there KR808D-1. It did the job for a bit but I quickly moved away from the e-cigs that look like real cigs. I just dont care what it looks like to other people anymore. Its my health and I get looks either way. Any questions you can PM me if you want. Good luck and welcome to the forum. Hang in there and congrats on your first week.

Hi Timepassenger!
Well, you found a very good juice supplier, that's big!
Also, no matter what unit you use, you always want to have a good supply of the things you're going to run out of or that will go bad ~ = everything! Batteries burn out, atomizers burn out, juice runs out.
Yes, it is expensive at first, you're always going to want to "try out" something else, but if just for the first couple months just concentrate on the logistics of vaping. Keeping fresh batteries available, nice, looooong gentle puffs on your ecig for very best vapor production (practice, practice!!) Never quick, hard pulls, as in cigarette smoking ~ it's counter productive to do that with an ecig.
Thoroughly read through the New Members' threads, so much information there it's hard to absorb it all at once.
Whatever you spend is an investment in your future that you will never regret. You probably will experience some withdrawal, some adjustments may have to be made with your juice, (I was a heavy smoker and had to go to 24mg/ml juice just to be able to relax.) After a couple months I found it very easy and painless to drop down nicotine density.
Try to vape in "sessions" rather than all the time ~ I vape morning and evening the heaviest, when I'm not vaping I'm working. But do what you need to do to keep calm and satisfied. Everyone has basically a different perspective.
Best of luck, and welcome to ECF from a fellow Wisconsinite!

Hopefully your CC will get straightened out, I've not found suppliers that are uncouth or unreliable; but if it goes too long, do get your CC company to step in and help you get your money back.

Welcome Timepassenger. I'm sure that your costs will go way down . . . which is an extremely good thing because you will find so much wonderful stuff, your purchasing may go way up.
