Hello, I'd like to start off and say I started smoking analogs a little before the beginning of last summer. Before that, I was vehemently anti-tobacco all my life because of the health risks and all. My brother and myself were huge supporters in getting our mother to quit which she has been successful since I was in middle school and still going on strong. Like most, I started because of friends and family. I've been around it my whole life and didn't see the harm in becoming a "social" smoker. I will say I did that very well because at first I only smoked around friends, and even after it became a habit outside of that I only smoked a few or more a week and the most I smoked at once was half a pack. Not seeing any harm in smoking socially changed though because I see it as a health-risk either way now.
I stopped smoking analogs probably a little over 8 months ago. I learned about electronic cigarettes from a friend of mine I've known since early high school in college. He got one from a mall, and he just whipped it out in his dorm room and at first I thought it was a toy until he started puffing on it. I inquired about what it was and remembered hearing about them but not enough to know about the vapor so I assumed that risks weren't significantly reduced. He corrected me about that. I asked if I could try it and my curiosity was peaked. I read into them thoroughly and got my first one from Modern Vapor. I got the Sidesho because I liked the customization and I heard Modern Vapor has great customer service. I have been completely satisfied and can say I vape exclusively now. I did lose my first one at one point, and tried to go back to analogs while I waited on a replacement battery and atty, but that didn't go so well. Anytime I have tried that whenever an e-cig isn't readily available, I feel sick and get at most half-way through the cigarette before I toss it. I imagine that's a very good thing though!
At first I used pre-filled cartridges, but that only lasted a couple of purchases before I read about dripping and invested in a LR atty, a driptip, and e-liquid bottles when I need them. However, I decided that being responsible with the e-liquid on the go is too much of a hassle because I've read keeping the liquid in your pocket is bad for it because of the body heat, and it's hard to keep it out of the light when it's out of my pocket. So I purchased some blank cartridges to fill and an extra battery for on the go, and they came in today. I haven't used them yet because I'm at home where I can keep the liquid out of the light easily with my usb passthrough and driptip. There was a surprise with my shipment though. Modern Vapor gave me a complimentary blank cartomizer to use.
This is pretty much the first time I have vaped with liquid in the fiber, so I did notice the slight decrease in flavor and amount of vapor, but acceptable for on the go. It seems convenient for a few reasons. Overfilling won't be as much of an issue since it's sealed where the atomizer is at and is a lot less likely to get on the battery. A pack of five costs as much as one atomizer, and a Sidesho cartomizer lasts an average of two weeks according to Modern Vapor. It seems appealing to invest in these instead of blank cartridges for on the go, but I want to ask some questions that might affect that decision (probably applies to blank cartridges as well). I imagine I won't have to worry about temperature or light since the liquid will be in the cartomizer/cartridge which will be in my PCC. I'm curious how long the liquid stays "good" in the cart? Also, anybody that uses Sidesho cartomizers, about how many drops would you say to put in them?
