Hey there.. Been lurking the past few days and wanted to say thanks..
I've learned a bunch but my first purchase, well second, may not suffice or be considered a recommended PV/ecig so for now I'll just let that go. I must say however from 20+ years of smoking (mid teens) until today I've had a on and off again affair with analogs. I've tried most everything to quit or reduce, including pharmaceuticals, however nothing worked well and even after 8 months of not smoking I fell back into bad habits sans a personal loss of mine that with stress led me back to the last 4 years of smoking analogs again.
I now have a new product as mentioned and it's a night and day difference. While many may not recommend it or even despise it at times it seems to really work for me; now. I've now had my first day analog free and haven't gone through a full carto that I'm noticing and not a single desire to fire up an analog. I'm feeling so much better, both mentally and physically, that I disposed of the remaining tobacco products/peripherals and continue to vape as I read these forums.
I'm sure as I learn more and get more time learning and researching all the better tech out there I'll more than likely graduate to some of the recommended products I've been reading about. I'm just happy that something has seemingly given me the ability and desire to not smoke an analog again. I'm pumped, the wife and kids are pumped and it's a new day tomorrow. I'm glad I'll be around to now vape, read these forums and ultimately be a better father and husband.
Cheers and excellent forum!

so I had stumbled upon here as well and noticed that V4L has a subforum as well. which was great. Also I had seen the Good Vendors and Bad Vendors.
So I got this thing before we ran out grocery shopping, and it wasn't THAT BAD, at first it was producing the vapor at okay production, and I KNEW what company I had planned to go with ..EVEN IF this e-cig I tried was not my cup o' tea again I was just getting a "feel" for my new journey NOW...I had analogs too throughout the day, and eventually I just put the thing down that night. It was very heavy and just not doing it for me..it was a 1.2% and NOT the brand I had seen online where I could find it at a local gas station, but they still had one, and the other one they had was like almost 20 bucks, I sure in the He** wasn't going to pay 20 bucks for something I was going to have to throw away (recycle) They did have a battery recycling program which was great! After 20 batt's you could mail them in, and get a free one. That was cool, but still wasn't the brand I wanted to go with.
