Another country heard from .. me lol I started last month with a 510 then went to the eGo about a week ago from Liberty-Flights $51 for the starter kit with the ECF 20% off. And I too wish I went with the eGo first. Now I just use my 510 as a back up but may give it away to a friend who's thinking about starting vaping.

I definately vape more than I smoked because a couple years back I quit smoking in the car, my job made it next to impossible to smoke much at all which left home-smoked more when I was home. vaping, well....I vape in the car, I vape at work and I vape nonstop at home.

Bingo. It's a different habit without all the restrictions - self imposed or not. Fact is, you just have to pick one and get started. Lots of good advice here. You just won't know for sure until you gets your hands dirty a while and learn a new habit. The good news is that, unless you're giving yourself an ultimatum, there's no shame in killing a few analogs while you sort out vaping.

A big bingo pot! But you know what? I enjoyed smoking, I really did. What I didn't enjoy was the side effects. The beginning stages of smokers hack, shortness of breath, the stink, the wrinkles, the knowledge that I was killing myself, the overall guilt and hatred of myself for being so tied to the almighty cancer stick.

I now enjoy vaping, perhaps more than smoking. Might there be side effects yet undiscovered, Yes, there might be. Are there know side effects like dry skin, vaping acne, yes they are not so pleasant. But also, I am avoiding some of the effects that the traditional method of just quitting have. I don't know too many folks that have quit without putting on about 20 pounds (some even more) No added weight gain here-so nicotine isn't all the great for ones heart but neither is toting around all the added weight. The temptation that never seems to go away, especially during times of high stress or other bad thing that can happen in life, that cause you to want to light up again-avoided tenfold.

Like many vapers here, words cannot express how grateful I am to have a healthier alternative to a vice that I actually kind of enjoyed. Am I still an addict? Yes. I go into the same panic, erratic behavior mode I did when I ran out of smokes if I misplaced my PV. I still feel edgy if my morning vape was put off but I don't feel the same sense of shame in it that I did when smoking. I breath freely, I don't pollute my lungs or others and am not subjecting my family to the effects of second hand smoke. The beginning transition of going from cigs to vaping wasn't a piece of cake (though for some it is) but it wasn't the crap sammich either. Next year, I think I'll work on cutting down to zero nic. The pv has made all these goals reachable in a way that we never thought possible.

So yeah, I do vape more than I smoked but I recall a time when one could smoke everywhere, in the grocery stores, even in the doctors office. Had the public smoking bans not gone into place, I probably would be able to say that I vape less than I smoked.

Went with the ego and it really does the job for me. I guess I fit into the average: about 3 ml/day. So far, it hasn't proven much more economical than analogs. Not counting the price of the eGo, I've spent as much on juice as I would have cigs this month. The hope is that my supply will laste a couple of months! Have around 215 ml of different flavors so fat, but it turns out that around 150ml of that is downright nasty tasting. You live and you learn!

Like many of you, I find myself vaping more than I smoked.

I've estimated that I'll spend about $60 per month on liquids, and I vape about 6mL per day. I bought a lot of junk in the last seven weeks, but from now on, I know exactly what I want to buy, so I think I'll break even around the end of January to middle of February, just in time to stock up on juice again. I have enough of my main juice to last until around the end of February. But from then on, I should save about $150 per month, compared to cigarettes (but by then, the price of a carton of cigarettes will probably be higher than it is today, so I might not save that much).

I recently tried a disposable ecig from a local gas station on a whim (with a quarter of the vapor I've seen in videos linked from this forum) and was still impressed at it's abillity to replace the desire for an analog.
The information here at first was overwhelming, but after a few days I have simply become considerably more educated - thanks for that! I am getting ready to order my first ecig (either the Joyce Ego or 510 - haven't decided)

Here is my question: I've read in several posts that many of you vape more than you smoked. I understand that. Then I read posts about how long an atty can last under different circumstances and have seen responses like "I vape heavy in the evening" or "I vape constantly at home". One person stated every 20 seconds. Does this mean every 20 second all evening - or during the time time frame they would regularly smoke. I know - everyone is different.

I smoke, on average, for about 10 min (two cigs in a row) every 2 - 2.5 hours (with the exception of my 4 in a row upon waking in the morning). Maybe a total of 50-70 min per day.

I expect to at least try to vape about that much. I never smoked in my house, and while an ecig will not stink up the place, I enjoy my 'private' time on the porch with the newpaper/ipad/book. I intend on keeping my vaping to the same set times I normally smoke.


Having said that - Would this be considered light vaping? I am looking into ecigs almost exlusively for the monetary savings in the long run - If I can eventually ween myself off of nicotine, great! I don't need a new hobby however. I can handle regular maitenance, but what I really want is to charge batteries at night, or place everything into a PC and simply take my reg smoke breaks at work and the 2 or 3 at night without ever having to stop and refill/charge anything during my day.

At the rate of smoking you've heard me describe, is this possible with only 2 Joyce 510's with say three batteries and a couple of extra atomizers on hand be enough to pull this off? Will I be refilling anything two or three times a day? I'm not picky, just super busy during my day job and at home also. I see a lot of vets that not only enjoy vaping, but the hobby side of it also, something I really dont have a lot of time for.

Thanks for any advice - the info I've disovered here so far has been absolutely great!

sounds to me with all you smoke the Joye Ego would be perfect ...1 overnight charge with 1 Battery and you would be good to go all day until bedtime , recharge and repeat the next day .... I would suggest however to use cartomizers since you do not want to take the time to drip or refill ...with the cartomizer 1 morning fillup would also last you all day for the amount you intend to vape ..... so that may be the perfect way to go for you ..... remember cartomizers ( even the refillable ones ) do not last as long life wise as atomizers so 2 days to a week is about the expected lifetime for them so stock up on them .... many sites offer them for under 2 bucks a piece if you shop around a bit .....that would be my suggestion for you based upon the information you provided on your amount of vaping time and needs.............

the Joye Ego kit is under 50 bucks here www.electricsmokesite.com and you WILL get great service the juices are fabulous too nice and thick ( last longer IMO ) the only issue is you are a bit limited on the flavors but if looking for Tobacco flavors its the perfect choice a sampler of Five bottles of 5 ML juice is under 13 bucks ....Wensten aka Winston is great !!

I was a 2 pack a day smoker and went for the EGO when I started. I go through at least 6ml of juice a day and was killing 4 EGO batteries a day.(I am what would be considered a heavy vaper).
Needless to say, that grew old fast and I stepped up to a mod (GGTS w/ AVS tank to satisfy my needs)
Vape on!

wow ....... pack and a half a day smoker here and one Ego battery last me 6-8 hours ( not including my usb pass through time ) but the guy who originally asked the question sounds like a light smoker so I would think based upon the info he provided as how often he smokes 1 battery and 2ML of juice will last him all day long and then some

20'ish analog a day here and was a chain smoker. I could easily go through 3-4 analogs before I get dressed for work.

I can tell you only about the ego. The battery last me full day, I do vape more than I smoke though even with 36mg juice. Performance is also inconsistent, probably my own fault when it comes to filling/refilling cartos. Hope I'll get better at it over time. I've been using the ego for 2 weeks now and just ordered a mod yesterday because I think something is still missing for me. And I know I'll be crawling to my analog once in a while if I continue to have it as my main PV.

Today I've been vaping constantly since I woke up, roughly 4 hours now and still want a cig. This is with filling 3 cartos before bed just to make sure I got everything ready for the next day.
