Thinking of Making the Switch

[BattleGuide]

Ok, so I have been a smoker for a long time. I am currently smoking less then a pack a day. I finally found the ecig I want to switch to. I am just waiting for Bloog to get more of their Ultimate Starter Kit for the Maxx Fusion in stock.

I need to do some more research on all of the options with ecigs and am excited to make the switch. I just wish I didn't have to wait until the end of Feb to purchase my Bloog.

Anyone know of a way for me to get this quicker?

Welcome to ecf. My suggestion would be to get another kit in the meantime. I think Bloog is a KR808???? and you can get an inexpensive startup from V4L which is also 808. They have a good product, and you could begin sooner.

Best wishes!!

Yup Bloog users are using V4L stuff.It will work.Just get a few things so you can try it out.

Good advice. And welcome to ECF!

V4L is what I have. And get some of their carto samplers - I really enjoyed the WOW Tobacco sampler

And get some juice there or elsewhere because you can refill cartos some number of times if you don't run them dry and singe the stuffing. Backwoods Brew would be one good place to start looking at juices - I found my first two all day vapes there (Casablanca and Vanilla Bean). Their Vanilla Bean is also useful for refilling just about any flavor of carto you don't have a reasonable juice for.

I also found FreedomSmokeUSA Desert Ship to be a good non-menthol analog replacement (I buy 70pg/30vg) - a bit stronger aroma than many other tobaccos, a bit nutty and pungent, reminded me of a freshly opened pack. I have not tried it in a cartomizer yet.

Nicotine - these are numbers you might consider - full strength cigs->24mg, lights->16-18mg, ultralights->10-12mg - some need one step higher to quit smoking. And if you vape a lot more than you smoked you may need lower.

Thank you for the advice. I will have to google that to find another supplier.

Hi and welcome to ECF. Here's the link to Vapor4Life:

Vapor4Life-Because it's your life - E-Cigarettes/Smoking Alternatives

And one for a less expensive KR808d-1:

Kr808d-1 E-Cig | Kr808d-1 E-Cigarette & Kr808d-1 Cartomizer Supplies | Kr808d-1 E Cigarette from LiteCigUSA

They'll be compatible with your Bloog if you decide to get one too.

I think you will enjoy making the switch. I switched back in September and I really enjoy it. There was a period though that so much was going on in my life that I had derailed course, well, that and I had missed my camel crushes.

My first e-cig I bought was a TW Titan. I really enjoyed it, but then I started to learn about the "problems" that e-cigs have. Like the polyfill wasn't releasing the juice properly so I would constantly top it off. My atty's really needed to be clean, as I have been using the same two atty's since I purchased my e-cig.

I recently learned of the new Ego-T or Tank. I ended up purchasing two of them from TW, one for myself, and one for my dad for his B-day. I must say that I really enjoy it, though I have only had it for about 24 hours. It works soo much better than my 510, then again, at this point i think anything would.

Anyway, my point with all of this is, I think you will enjoy the switch, but you will quickly learn that it is a whole new lifestyle. It has its own community, its own problems, and you will always be learning something new.

Ok, so I think I am going with VAPOR KING-Ultimate Ultimatum Automatic Kit. If this is not the best choice in comparison to the Bloog, please let me know... It appears to be the same product with more options in color and such. Please let me know if my understanding is incorrect.

Thanks again Everyone!!!

Automatic?

Manual batteries are much more popular, so you might want to consider that.

You are talking to a newb here. A friend of mine suggested the Bloog and it is Automatic.

What is the difference between automatic batteries and manual?

Automatic batteries have some variation of a sensor and only activate when you take a drag on your device.

Manual batteries have a button that you push and give you more control.

Manual batteries are MUCH, MUCH better. EVERYONE here will tell you that. Trust us on this......

Well, have you checked your local places, like a gas station, smoke shop? Some of them carry a disposable e-cig that will last you awhile. Most of what I have seen are KR808 compatible. Also, have you checked to see if you live near a e-cig vendor? You might be interested in the vapor's toolbar to see vendors in your area. Plus additional info on e-cig related stuff. VaporBar - Everything E-Cig. One Toolbar.

Ok so I ended up getting the manual... Thank you all so much for the help with this...

I guess I will be joining you all in some Vapor next week!

Now to order some brew

Does it replace the desire to have a real cig...?

After just a week analogs taste disgusting, I tried one after a week and it was disgusting. I tried again a month later and it was downright nasty. I have absolutely no desire to have a cig anymore.
