Thanks ECF!!!

I did it!
I ordered 2 M402 kits (from one of the trusted vendors listed here).
I am ready to give up the stink!
I could or probably would not have made the leap if it weren't for tripping across this site when I wasn't even looking for ecigs, but for cheap cartons of the stinks bombs I always smoke. Thank you! thank you!

I got some carts (10) and juice (3) too. With the kits, I will have 4 atty's and four batteries. Do I need anything else? Any advice?

I have been a heavy smoker for many many years. I love smoking! I was the type that said I would never give it up. Believe it or not, it wasn't even my bad health issues that swayed me. The cost increases! But most of all ... the STINK. Even being a smoker, I am so sick & tired of the smell! And the residue clinging to everything .. in my car, the tar on my walls etc.

Quick question ... Has anyone ever ordered from here?
50 carts for 24.00 or 100 for 45.00 seems like a great deal right? especially as I'm a heavy puffer. I don't see them on the list and can't post links yet but they are at - e-cigarette-supply

If your profile told us where you were from, other than "somewhere nice", it'd be easier to suggest a place to buy things from.

Just a pointer


I know how you feel though, I spent 5 hours reading nonstop on these forums and got a headache myself. ECF and e-cigs in general seem like a Cult operation to me. lol. But it's good stuff.

What helped me to choose the particular vendor I went with was the price and the reviews I found on this board. Plus the fact that they're geographically close to me and their reputation for shipping things out same-day was fantastic. What was difficult for me to figure out at first was what I wanted. I just ended up going with the 510 because it seemed to have the largest following and I knew that if I did something wrong or got screwed up somehow, I could get help easily.

Hi yellowmonkey,

I've too had been reading all over here, back to the net, here for days! Last night I committed to myself I was ordering today no matter what. So first thing this morning, I grabbed coffee and was determined to first, decide the model. I knew I had to make my mind to go just go for one and if I didn't like it, I could always find another one to try.

Some things I knew I wanted were -
*I wanted it to resemble a real cig. Psychological silliness but I'm an old dog and to start, the less change the better .
* Thought about the 510 but read the carts (or was is atty's? ) don't last as long as the Mseries. The M series repeatedly was reported reliable and a good starter choice on many sites. The less problems with the equipment the better especially when first starting out.
* I didn't want something complicated. Dripping, filling, stuffing my own whatever all that is can come much later. I wanted four wheels on my skates! lol
* m series had good reviews here, was readily available at many sites. Parts / accessories are too. I didn't want an off market hard to find parts one.

Once I picked a model, it was the hunt for where to buy. As you probably experienced, that is another treasure hunt until your head spins.


For me, on the top of my list for vendors: I knew I wanted a vendor with a phone number! Many do not show one so that knocked the list down quite a bit! It didn't have to be toll free but I want a vendor I could call if something went wrong, had questions etc.

*Vendor (LiteCigUSA) had good customer service / delivery times per comments here (they carry the Mseries cigs)

* First order was going to be more costly. I knew I wanted to get at least two sets so I wouldn't be stuck starting out and run out of carts or have a broken atty and end up waiting for parts going back to analogs while I waited again. ( Thanks again to the great posters here)

Their starter (good price imo) came with two batts and two attys, I liked that. Other places I saw around the same kit price range only offered one atty. Plus .. the fact I could get juice and carts at the same place to start with until I know what I'm doing made it one stop shopping which I like too.

What that all added up to at LiteCigusa was .. tada .. free shipping!

One vendor I axed off the list immediately! They actually posted the customers first name and last initial for winners here for some giveaway or contest. No thanks. I have no patience for real life info being published from a vendor!

FYI LiteCigusa confirmed order immediately! Then, replied to a couple questions I had as an after thought before I could even think about going back to check email. They also confirmed they NEVER share customer info.

Hope something might help you. Just go for it, I did. We can complain or cheer together soon.

Yeah, eventually you just have to go for it, because you really aren't going to know what you want, or understand half of what you read here, until you've got one in your hands.

If you're lucky, the first one you buy will be all you need, but don't count on it.

I had never heard of ecigs when I ran across this site. I read a little. Called the local smoke shop and asked if they carry ecigs. Sure. I almost ran to get whatever they carry. I paused, asked what brand. Then came back here to hunt that down. It was SmokeEverywhere. Whew, ECF saved me!

But son of a gun!
After all that planning.... <<slap forehead>>>
I forgot to order the PCC I was he!! bent on getting. So, I just went back to that vendor site .. they don't have one wouldn't you know. It isn't going to stop me from starting but my one stop shopping wasn't one stop after all.

Update
Just 3 days later and my order arrived today! Great delivery huh.
Instructions say to charge the batt for 8 hours for the initial charge so two batts plugged in and charging.

Only problem -
I ordered tan.
What I got was all in black!
That totals twenty carts in the wrong color.
I sent an email off and in two minutes got a reply!
Shawn is making a correction for it. He said he will send out tan on Monday. Thumbs up on delivery and service!

FYI He said the KITS do not come with a choice of cart color!
As the pictures show TAN when ordering, I suggested the site should note that.

Assembly
I was a little unsure what to do.
The instructions are brief and the atomizer comes already attached to a blank cart so it can be confusing. ok ok, it was confusing to me. lol
There is a very easy to understand 'how to assemble' video by SharpSmoker1 on youtube for the M402 that took only a few minutes and it was all clear as a bell. Sorry, can't post links yet.
