So new, I don't know what to do! HELP?

[msdarlene]

I bought an eGo-CE4 and 4 tobacco samples. I charged the batter for an hour. Is that enough? Now what? I SO want to vape to give up smoking the nasty cigs. I feel like a baby learning how to walk and need somebody to hold my hand. I have until my birthday June 5th to do this and give up the smokes. Any help is MUCH APPRECIATED. Thanks in advance!!

Ya you're good to go for a little bit.

Hello and welcome msdarlene

Did the charger light turn green for you? That's when it's ready
Do you know how to fill your CE4 with juice?

 

[Jscheiben]

First off welcome to the forum. I know the instructions for that kit say to charge for 8 hours which I didn't and haven't had a prob with the battery. All that's required now is to fill the clearomizer with juice of your choice. For the ce4 unscrew the tip and fill with your juice making sure not to get any down the center of the silicone tip(find tilting clearo to the side helps). Once filled put tip back on, I let mine sit for ~5 mins to make sure it's had time to wick. Screw clearo onto battery until it just snugs up. And vape away.

I started with the same setup.

 

[Jscheiben]

Forgot to mention. When filling clearo only fill to the 1.6ml line.

Pause, breathe, it will be okay.

My story...

I knew that I wanted to make sure that I didn't have an excuse to buy a pack of cigs, so I prepared. I got familiar with my system and then got a back-up in case the first died. No excuses.

I picked up a car charger. I put a complete system with about 3ml in a used bottle. The complete system went in to the car. No excuses.

Whatever tank I got for use as a primary, I got a spare for the car, too. Because everything is the same, I don't have to worry about compatibility.

For juice, I got a bottle or two of "stronger" nic content juice. I had to show myself that vaping would work. I needed that confidence. I also got several bottles of juices at what I thought would be my normal nic comparison to smoking a cig. For me, these were 24mg and 18mg juice.

I just vaped to cover my urges. If my "urges" ecome every 10 minutes, switch to a stronger juice.

Hope helps.

My first systems were Vision Spinners and Protank II tanks. Oh, I bought extra coils... No excuses

One day I smoked, the next day I was a vaper.

 

[msdarlene]

WOW, thank you! SO helpful. I'm going to attempt to fill it, and on your recommendation frenchfry, I'm going to get another set up! I can do it. Been smoking for 40 years, and this is THE year....

You are all so helpful. THANK YOU!!!!

TBH you for one of the best starts. Ego is awesome to begin with. I used it for ages before moving on. Why? It does what every other more expensive product does.

Now charge it longer. If its your sole product then charge it every night. During the day in-between you doing something else charge it.

When I go to make coffee or shower or shopping its on charge. I made a choice of smoking it in home only so the buying habit stops each time you pass a store.

Tbh I have smoked 5 packets since “quitting” and none for past months.

It is awesome.

ALWAYS have spare juice. You know what you like so far. Order few in. do not run out of juice.

Are you stealing my story?

Vaping is far better. Different flavours, its better. I love it.

I'm sure you'll make it. I was a smoker for 20 year and one day just switched to vaping(jus over 2 weeks) and haven't looked back. Just remember nic will hit ur brain faster off of a tobacco cig, takes a bit longer off an e-cig. Try holding the vapor in your mouth a few seconds then inhale if you want. I found exhaling though my nose worked too as the more contact with mucous membranes will allow more nic to be absorbed. At least that's what I've read.

 

[msdarlene]

Ali, what is TBH?

 

[Jscheiben]

TBH = to be honest

Thank you for not making me feel DUMB. Now, I'm off to kill my addiction to cigarettes and vape until my hearts content

 

[coalyard]

Welcome to ECF msdarlene! I am a New Hampshire expat, I really miss being there. You are doing fine. Just vape when the urge to smoke hit you. If you are really dedicated to quitting, it isn't so hard to do. I smoked 37 years myself, up to 3 packs a day. It is well worth your effort and any discomfort you might have to quit. Just read a lot and learn. Before you know it, you will be an old pro!

Welcome to the forum and the world of vaping, Darlene! This is a very friendly place and no one will make you feel dumb. I asked many, many questions at first and was treated with kindness and patience.

You might want to pick up a couple of other flavors of juice if you can. Most people think they want tobacco flavors at first, since that's what cigarettes tasted like. I got several tobacco flavors to start, and they were just okay.

I went back to the shop where I got my kit and got a banana nut bread flavor, and something that tasted sort of like coconut. I liked the flavors so much better than the tobacco ones that I had.

Then I really branched out and found Mt. Baker Vapor online who sell so many great flavors and are very inexpensive. I love their Cinnamon Roll, and Green Apple is great. You might enjoy giving some other flavors a try. If you order at least $15 worth, you can get a free 15 ml. sample of your choice. Just put the flavor and nic. mg. in the comment box at check out. Also, if you use the code ECF at checkout you get 10% off your order, too. Here is a link:

One more question...do I have to hold the button in while vaping?

 

[Jscheiben]

Yes you do they have a safety so will stop firing after so long. Take slow pulls off it while button is depressed. This is your last step and then off to vaping bliss. If cravings do hit pop in the forum and read lots(what I do) and vape as much as you want. GO YOU!

 

[Wow1420]

One more question...do I have to hold the button in while vaping?

Yes. Hold the button, take a puff, release button.

One more thing, PG and VG, the liquids in e-juice, will pull moisture from you. Remember to drink extra water while vaping.

Echo that for me too. Keep with it, you'll be ok. Don't be afraid to ask questions, that's what everyone is here for. We've all been new. I would maybe recommend you pick up another battery as well as keep plenty of juice with you. Just like smoking, you don't want to be panicking if your battery dies or you run out of juice just like you did when you were out of cigs. Never know when that battery might die. My wife was away with work this weekend out in the middle of nowhere. Her ego broke in her pocket and no place close to get another. Not what you want to have happen.
