Recommendations for a noob?

[paisleyplatypus]

Hi all!

Another noob here saying hullo and, of course, I come bearing questions.

I've been smoking for about 12 years, now - varying brands and sizes - but these days, I primarily smoke Marlboro Menthol 100s (menthol has always been my preference, when I can get it). I smoke maybe 4-6 cigarettes a day (since I have to go outside to do it - yecch), so it takes me about a week or so to get through a whole pack. With the shorter MMs, though, I go through those a bit quicker. I guess that makes me a fairly light-ish/average smoker?

Someone I was speaking to who had the 401 said he really liked it but I'm wondering what your recommendations would be for me in terms of strength and so forth? Personally, I'm kind of leaning towards the 901, just going by what I've been reading since I've been poking around in the forums a bit. Either that or the Lady pipe that I saw - that one certainly looks interesting! I'd like to try to start off with as close of a menthol taste to the Marlboros as I can get and then maybe, once I get used to it, maybe occasionally switch off for other flavors (the Tennessee Cured sounds yummy!).

So - anyone have any suggestions? Any info you could point me to would be much appreciated

Both the M401 and DSE901 are popular devices and good choices.

No eliquid tastes like smoking but once you get used to it it's much nicer.

The safest bet with nicotine strength is to start low and raise your dose if it doesn't work for you. I find that vaping zero or low all the time with occasional spikes with a couple of drops of medium or high doesn't raise my tolerance and gives better effect.

So mostly low with a little medium or high for an occasional spike.

I agree with Kate. The 901 was my first e-cig. It takes a bit of time to adjust, but once you find a good e-liquid you will start to prefer it over analogs.

My wife smoked mentols and has taken to Totally Wickeds menthol juice using a 401.
