Hi all,
First time posting... I could of sworn that I had an account here, but I had to create a new one. I'm not sure if I want to even post this at the risk of sounding like a shiller.. but I am also feeling like I got a little duped at the same time.
anyway, a few years ago, before my son was born, I switched from cigs to all the nicorette products to quit smoking... until I tried a Blu disposable from the mall, then bought a joye510 kit. Eventually, about a year later, my wife and I started smoking again. We always talked about how dumb we were for starting back. We decided that the last carton we had, would be our last.. so we finished on Sunday of last week.
I started using the nicorette lozenges that I had in my closet from over 2-3 years ago. Last week was horrible and probably my least productive week at work. I came to ECF looking for a good place to get some juice, since the last place I ordered from (thevaporpro.com) sold me some that smelled and tasted like ammonia. Based on what I found years ago was that kit was pretty much the standard. Some of the things that I didn't like about it was that it leaked in my pocket and my thighs would burn either from the juice or from the button accidently being pressed. The cartridge didn't hold much juice and I would get a burnt dry pull or a sip full of sweet juice.
With all these vendors and all different types of juice, it's really tough to figure out where to buy from. This forum has way too much information and it's just all over the place. For the juice, I ended up choosing to buy from Goodejuice just because I got tired of reading and someone recommended it. I was only reading sections that had the most posts in it. I started looking at the kits the same way and found Bob's post. I also noticed that he posted the same thread in another section.
At first, I thought the same thing.. this guy is advertising this crap. Then Blondeambition chimed in and seemed like she was in it too. They were just hyping the emax up too much. I really don't see why there has to be so many different models.. an ecig is a tank, heating element, and a battery. How hard is it to standardize one and claim one model as the best? I went off and started researching again to get lost in information again. Got tired of reading and came back to this thread. The first guy that replied edited his post to say nevermind and I guess this Bob guy has some respect or something, saw his vid and thought he put way too much work in for this product. I don't know.. I guess since I saw the youtube vid that they have for the emax and how crappy it was, and that fact that they didn't use Bob's video made me think that maybe he was genuine. Both of them seemed like they have been vaping for a long time with a lot of posts.. so I started getting soft.
I ended up ordering this kit last thursday and got it yesterday. I've been using it for about 24 hours now. The batteries were charged. So from about 3pm yesterday, the battery died around 1 or so. I stayed up late playing COD. Everything went well. The cig works and doesn't leak like my old crap did. When I went to sleep, I took a drag with the ecig verticle and I got a taste of the juice, although it was not nearly as much as my old one did. All in all, it's seems like a good buy. We'll see how long it lasts. I'm no pro, but it works. I'm pretty sure that any modern ecig will be better than my joye510.
I came back to the thread just to say thanks and that I wasn't dissappointed, and that was as short as my post was going to be, but then I read all the flaming and thought that I should back these people up. If that guy posted the kanger evod kit earlier, I probably would have ordered that.. just because I like known brand names better. I still wouldn't know if Bob or Blonde have any affiliations with Maxvaper.. and I guess only they will know.
Life will be much easier when these products are sold in big retailers like Amazon, when we could read all the negative reviews to weed out the garbage. I don't mind coming back and telling you guys how this ecig does in X amount of time, but if it's garbage, I will definitely come back and let y'all know. Hopefully by then, there a good concise guide on all the leading ecigs.
