The Self Juicing Box way to quit Analogs

[banjo]

I have a wood REO, 2 REO Minis, and 2 Phidias mods, and agree with everything in your post. I wouldn't part with any of them, and I would never go back to filling carts or dripping, lugging bottles of juice around, and carrying paper towels to clean up the mess. I also wouldn't go back to lugging extra batteries and a charger around. I grab one of the mods in the morning, fill the dispenser bottle with my favorite juice, put a fresh battery in it - and I'm set for a hassle free day of vaping. Thanks Drumonron for the excellent post.

ACM, the EGO battery lasts 5-8 hours. That is enough for 99.8% of all ecig users that have 2.

Besides, my point is that for the "vast majority". Mods are a fringe product. The "vape" may be better, doesn't matter - on any level. It just doesn't. 5v, 6v, 180,000 volt. it is not relevant as it it does NOT mimic smoking. They are designed for Vapers. Period.

....plus, what is each person's end game? Mine is to be nicotine free; not vape all day on a single battery charge. I smoked for 30+ years, am VERY grateful I'm tobacco free, and will be ecstatic when I'm no longer a slave to nicotine. Regardless of how we package it, we're still addicts as long as we use our drug of choice.

LOL, whatever. The REO could be the best product in the history of the entire world. It doesn't matter. It ONLY addresses a small fraction of the problem of the addiction to analogs. The 5 black geese out of 100 will surely argue with me to the bitter end on this issue... LOL.

I 100% agree. A Mod is the BEST device for some people - just not most. Either way, we will all be slaves to nicotine with either the eGO or the Box. Point being, and i am rather becoming a broken record, it is a fringe product and will be so until the end of the ecig industry - regardless of how well they work. It is not relevant for most people.

Like i have mentioned a billion times all ecig devices are a trade off. At one extreme you have the super mini. On the other you have the box mods.

I feel like I may need my boxing gloves for this thread... ...LOL.

Saving this and thanks for the info.
On down the line I might be interested in doing away with the various steps required for my eGo setup. But for now, I actually enjoy the process which no doubt means I'm still addicted to certain elements of smoking.

Not to much of a trade of IMO.




This is the REO Mini

I have no intention of bagging the device. it is probably the best ever - for the vaping experience. I still contend it has little, if any, bearing on the addiction of smoking. I am done, lol. A good argument...errrrr... debate...errr...discussion is good once in a while though.

I think that now I have tried a lot of the items out there...I have to say that I think the mods are a very important segment of the vaping spectrum. If they did the same thing as the traditional types of e-cigs, I would have nothing to say. But now that I have my own mod, I tend to vape less often and less intensely (there are even days that I forget to vape through the majority of the day). Why? Because the mix is right....for me anyway. And if that information helps just one more person working through this transition, then it is worth it to me to see this information in the Newcommers Area.

That right mix is what got me off of the analogs and for that, I am grateful. As I've stated in other threads, I'm 2 months smoke free, been a smoker for 25 years and been vaping for over 6 months. It was the mod that tipped that scale....for me.

Not sure why you are dead set on speaking for a majority of people out there, how do you know you are in the majority exactly?

I have wanted to quit smoking cigs for awhile, but I absolutely loved smoking. It was the first thing I did in the morning, and the last thing I did at night. The day I got my eGo (about 1.5 months ago) I pretty much quit cigs completely, I finished my last 5 cigs over the next 2 weeks, mainly because they were around.

I found the eGo was a nice substitute but it just wasn't as easy as just picking up a cig and lighting it, the hit just wasn't the same and I thought it was only a matter of time before I went back to the cigs. Then I found out about juice mods, hmm let me see....

Quick and easy to pick up and smoke without worrying about dripping, cleaning, refilling, etc?

Check

Hits harder, more like a cig?

Check

I am pretty confident now that I won't be going back, I've found MY closest match to a cig. I don't pretend to speak for the majority, minority, or anyone other than myself. It's pretty easy to assume "everyone" has your same tastes, but I think that's a rather limited and shortsighted view.

To each their own...

Congrats Dude!

As you so rightfully pointed out, it's a personal thing and it sounds like you've found your niche.

Not exactly sure where the argument errrrr... debate errrrr… discussion is he's eluding too? I only saw someone rambling to them self; over-and-over-and-over again. I guess he has an unfulfilled need and no one was willing to play his game. Too funny!!!

I just wanted to say that if people want to quit smoking without vaping, go for it and I wish them the best....E-cigarette-forum or e-cigs are not nor have they ever been intended as a cessation product as far as I know, but they will do a fine job of assisting you in never smoking again.

You state the following and I quote, "regardless of how well they work. It is not relevant for most people." This is a forum for people seeking to vape, these bottom feeding juice boxes are just that, an evolutionary product that, I for one believe, is very relevant to those who wish to vape.

I agree with you that each device has trade offs and my goal was to introduce those new to vaping an alternative.

Lastly, no boxing gloves are necessary. I believe we all share a common interest. This thread is intending to inform, those who are interested, to a reliable device that cuts down on the necessity to carry along or worry about so many other things.

Some of the nice folks posting here are sharing their experiences so that others can skip the tribulations that they've experienced. When I started vaping their were no auto feed juice boxes, I wish there was.

Either way, I believe it's all healthy discussion.

I will let the facts speak for me, to more clearly make my point. Mods hold an amazingly low percentage of the market - for a reason. Make fun if you wish, I personally do not care on any level. The point is, and was, and always has been, that a mod is a niche product. Great for some, not for most. And for certain not a post that should be in a newbie section. It is NOT a device to replace the "act" of smoking for ONE very simple reason - it is NOTHING similar to it! Geez. This logic is not difficult to follow...

How many "blu's" do you think they would sell if they advertised a wooden box? Let me guess - none. Duh. It is NOT what most people want and WHY they did not select a wooden box to sell - regardless of how well it works. It does not matter on ANY level.


They are a GREAT product for a niche. That is and was my point.

I mean how simple do i need to make this.

 

[Drumonron]

I've been in there reading. Seems you can't make them fast enough. I hit a couple of the sites and it said "out of stock."

You need to be a bit vigilant and patient for these as they are not mass produced. rnrmanufacturing.com opens up their web storefront ordering(indicated by "In Stock" rather than "out of stock") only on Fridays @ 8pm Eastern time / 5pm Pacific time. The Phidias I believe is available currently but you must contact the builder, who, may I add, is a master craftsman via email or a post on the thread(see link on page 1 of this thread) will do...an email for him is in the thread, too. REOs @ reosmods.com is available but you must follow the thread and he will indicate when they are for sale.

NOTE: each mod I speak of here sells out rather quickly...the entire stock of rnrmanufacturing.com for Ali'i and the Journeyman has sold out in a matter of 10 minutes in the past.

Hope I've helped you out here.

Mini reo all the way! juice box saved me a lot of money. Im anolog free for a month and not looking back. I regret buying an ego.

Hook up a garden hose with massive vapor and nicotine to it with the most AWESOME best ever vaping experience in the history of mankind. How many would you sell? ZERO.

The only purpose of this thread is to inform those interested and you appear to not be interested. This thread does not have anything to do with demographics, market share, etc.

To all those who've found their comfortable vape device and don't find a need for such a device, it's cool and I'm happy for you but to deny new vapers an alternative is to do them a disservice.

LOL, that's cool. But I mentioned that it was not best for "most" and all the mod fan boys attacked me. It is a GREAT performance experience. However, coming directly off analogs MOST people need to mimic the act of smoking. This is why when I give any advice on the "best' model - I ask questions. Some people dramatically underestimate the mental aspect of smoking on here. Many immediately say EGO. I do not, certainly not any longer. It depends...

EDIT: For example, my EGO is dramatically better in perforance than my Safe Cig. However, I use my Safe Cig very day in addition to my EGO. WHY?? It is closer to the act of smoking in size. It is mental!

 

[DocWyatt]

And i did not mean to start an argument over this, lol. Although, I will admit, most find arguments somewhat entertaining. I am just trying to provide the best views that i can for people to try their FIRST ecig to have a CHANCE of stopping analogs. Therefore, I consider anything we say, or any advice we may give to be somewhat important.

Unless I missed something nobody is denying anyone of anything. When I first joined this forum I had access to all the forums; has that changed?
