I've been looking at cignot.com and their no box deal on the 510 with 5 cartridges, and ordering the 20ml 26mg marlboro pg to supplement it. I currently smoke 10-20 cigs a day, depending on the stress factors and what nots happening in my life that day. Consistently use a carton every 2 weeks, basically is this going to be enough supplies to last me for 2 weeks. I currently smoke Marlboro full flavors and really don't like anything weak. When I smoke I want to "feel" it (love that first drag), I want enough vapor to know it's there, and I want nicotine of course. For what I want from your personal experiences (yes, I know were all different and the things I did specify are subjective) could the 510 possibly fit the bill or should I go for something else? I really just want to quit dealing with the smell, yellow teeth, bad breath, ashes, and having to go outside in the hot and cold just to get my fix, yet I still want to smoke for some reason. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and or other models suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Other suggestions should fall below the $80 dollar mark shipped be enough supplies for 200 cigarettes (if possible because I dont even know if what I'm getting would be enough, if it isn't and the 510 is the right thing for me, how much liquid do I need?), and be able to fill my personal desires in a smoking experience. Sorry for throwing all this in my first posting, but I really want a workable alternative to analog cigarettes and if I don't get the right thing, well I won't be the most pleasant person. Not to mention, the cigarette budget is going to be gone. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I got the 510 from cignot a couple days ago it is a good choice you will need to keep a good stock of juice cause you will go through it with the 510 I bet puffing madly away. I am thinking of keeping 100 ml of juice on hand at least.

Produces good vapor and you can get a good throat hit. Getting a usb passthrough , and some pyramid tea bags to improve your 510 carts is going to help get the ultimate satisfaction with the 510.

I quit a 3 pack/day habit the day my 510 arrived. The average (and an average that might not apply to anyone specifically) juice use a week is around 20ml. One of the barriers to quitting smoking is running out of juice, then running to the 7/11. The 510 is your best shot, imo, for under the $ limits you cite, including juice and shipping. A next step up might be a Janty Stick which is right at $80, so you're 510 and 20ml should get you through the first week and even then depending on the price of cigs should get you 1/2 way to the 'break even' point.

And regardless of what you might get in the future, you'll never regret getting a 510. There are many vets that still use that as their main ecig. Some have moved to others. Very few have had problems and that can't be said for all 'starter' ecigs.

Read up (see the stickies) on what to expect: - possible nasty tastes from the fluid that is used to keep atomizers from drying out - either soak them in high proof alcohol for a bit and then blow them out, or just blow them out or vape it out by at first not inhaling until that taste goes away. Make sure your batteries are charged but unlike what a manual might say, you only have to charge a battery until the green light comes on the charger. Drop 2 drops directly on the atomizer and fill your cartridge and start! Recharge the other battery too.

Hmm what's this usb passthrough you speak of?

usb passthrough this thing will give you a higher voltage and greater hits I am told and this one is also said to be one of the better passthroughs since it does not use a battery.

cignot sells a passthrough also but I heard that particular one is real good no battery to worry about, though the one at cignot is half the price.

I watched phee's video on it , looks pretty sweet hoping to get one soon.

Well sounds like I got the right e-cig from what I've heard from you guys and read. Again the info is greatly appreciated. I'll look into getting the pass through once I know for sure the analog to digital transition will be successful. Though how much liquid should I get to be equivalent to a carton of cigarettes with the Joye 510?

From my post:
" so you're 510 and 20ml should get you through the first week"

and you said a carton lasts you two weeks, so.... 40ml of juice should do it.

I think this is a good plan for finding the juice you like and for saving money so that you're not stocking up on stuff you might not like. Even Nhaler's more generic flavors - Camule (Camel), Marbro (Marlboro) Nuport (tobacco + menthol) will give you an idea if you buy from those flavors from other vendors but Drew's juice is pretty good.
