Settling In, A Routine For Long Term Vaping

[d4rk3]

Actually I'm afraid of trying them. If I like them much more than what I'm using then I'd probably find myself buying enough to entirely replace my Sticks, and I'm also worried about higher ongoing costs. High voltage users seem to go through atomizers more often. (Correct me if I'm wrong, that's my impression from the posts I've read.) I haven't blown an atomizer yet. Since I'm quite happy with the J-Sticks my current goal is to reach break-even on money spent vaping vs. what smoking would have cost for the same time. After reaching break-even (and making my stash "free" in that regard) I may be more tempted to start exploring new options

Awesome. As was said stick with what works for you. It's an easy and effective vaping agenda, lol. But yeah, when you break even I would highly recommend checking it out. Cheers.

I've got my routine simple also, after just a few weeks. I charge up a coupla batts at night, pack up 3 or 4 carts with them in my case in the morning, for selection, and go. Weekends I top or fill carts using easy condom method. Carry an extra batt in PCC in my purse always in case something fails with that program, which it never does. What's to complicate?

(and during days off putzing at home i just carry one in my lanyard - way easier than remembering to carry a pack of cigs and lighters and ashtray up and downstairs. PT's mostly for evening luxury. And a kensington powerpack around for if I want that luxury on the go.)

That sure sounds good! I wish there were more users on the forum with in-depth experience of good cartomizers (V4L's products seem to be the best judging by the many favorable reports), of good separate atomizer/cartridge devices, and reporting their experience with each. I guess we'll see more such comparisons eventually. The cartomizers are clearly less hassle.

im lost, dont know where to go.. can one of you please help!? i have bought numerous e-cigs and never could get a good vape. i mean blowing out clear, no vape come out or hardly at all so i broke down and bought a joye510. still cant get a good vape. i believe im using a bad e-liquid or a cheap version because i got it from litecigusa.net. just seems cheap and bad taste. my carts are filled properly, fully charged battery etc. cant figure iut out. i know i can have that many busted ones. ANY suggestions anyone?

I noticed a huge "no vape" or "hardly no vape" experience when I first started with my BluCig. After a few weeks and watching some videos and tips and tricks I eventually got down my own routine/practices.

Unlike a traditional cigarette I feel that with vaping you have to smoke it more like a joint. If you've never smoked a joint then take slow, long inhales until you feel you mouth and throat clouded. Takes some practice but worked for me. I started dripping and got it down pat!

Since then I purchased a Prodigy V2 from Pure Smoker and High Voltage Atty's with a Brass tip for direct dripping. I no longer have to smoke "as much" like a joint as I did with my BluCigs. Try, try and try again! Don't get discouraged, the e-cigarette is not perfect yet but will definitely suppress those cravings! 6 months cigarette free! Let me know what you guys think!

Here's my routine...

I wake up in the morning. Get ready for the day as usual. Grab my juicebox and go. At the end of the day, I put the battery I'm using on the charger overnight, and grab a fully charged spare to replace it with. Once every week or so, I refill my juice bottle with more juice.

Mister, I use all V4L products, except some Mrs T's and TV juices just for fun and even more variety. With the condom method I never even have to squeeze a bottle of juice for a refill. I'm not experienced, just I researched a lot first and landed on the right one for me first try. I've now stocked up for several months. I wouldn't mind winning a bullet or a chuck, just for fun - but when I want a whole huge lotta warm vape, there's the trusty PT. Can't see wanting a bigger hit than that, myself.
It's honestly simpler than cigarettes... "where's my lighter? o crap, the stores are all closed. ashtray's overflowing, i'll just use the coffee cup. light, relight, light. lighter's dead, there's one in my coat pocket i think. maybe if i shake it upside down a lot. i was SURE i had another pack in the glove compartment..." and, of course, "I have to smoke on the PORCH? in FEBRUARY? where's my coat? grumble grumble..."
Then there's the time (hey, I was 20, that was decades ago) when I caught the stuff in the gynocologists office waste basket on fire. It was a really long wait and I didn't have time to pinch and pocket the damned thing...
Life is eeaaasy...

Updates to my daily routine:

1) My oldest J-Stick died a couple of weeks ago. The switch died twice in the past. I fixed it and re-sealed with electrical tape. It has now died completely. I figure I got the equivalent of nearly five months of continuous use from that Stick, with one battery and one atomizer, both still working. Though I mourn the loss I certainly have no complaints about that Stick!

2) Some big news: I've switched to Vapor4Life cartomizers as my main e-cig! I've written a post comparing my beloved J-Sticks with the V4L Vapor Kings here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...rtomizer-v4l-compared-atomizer-510-801-a.html
