Well, I gave my wife her eGo last night and she was very excited! Since there was two, I get one as well...right!?!
My tobacco history.
I smoked analogs for about 12yr and then gave them up cold turkey about 7yrs ago. It was hard, but hey, I gots me some good willpower. Anyway, about 2yrs ago I decided that I wanted to try smoking a pipe. So I've become sort of a pipe hobbiest. I smoke for the flavor of the different tobaccos and love them. I'm not an everyday smoker. I may smoke a bowl every 2 or 3 days. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
So, when my wife told me that she wanted an e-cig I started looking at them and quickly saw that they didn't just taste like a cigarette. Which kind of striked an interest in me since I smoke for flavor, not necessarily for the nicotine since I don't fully inhale. Ohhh...I know I still get nicotine, but I don't get the cravings from pipe tobacco like I did with analogs.
So now I have this outlook on these e-cigs not as a way to quit smoking, but maybe as a flavorful pastime...
Just wanted to give you a little background to know where I was coming from when I first started puffing on the eGo.
After opening the box I found that the instructions were just barely helpful. It just came with a little fold out pamplet that hardly explained a thing. Thank goodness for this website! I first popped in one of the prefilled carts that came with it. EEEWWWWWW!!!8-o That was nasty! So I found out (through here) how to fill the empty carts, and fill one with "French Pipe" PG 8mg from Liberty Flights that I had ordered. I vaped it throughout today at work and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. Without getting into a review of the juice, I will say it had a sweet taste. Not like pipe tobacco at all , but I can see why someone would name it that.
The eGo seemed to preform as it should. Push the button, suck the end, blow the vaper. The whole unit seemed to be well made for the price. It isn't precision, but I really didn't expect it to be. The thread are fairly smooth when screwing and unscrewing. It is very easy to charge and to load the cartridge. Which is one thing that I am not impressed with. The way the cart fits the atomizer. It just pushes on. I was hoping to be able to carry it in my pocket but I'm afraid the cart will come off and soak my pocket with juice. I wish they would have threaded those as well....
Also, the cart leaks where it is connected with the atomizer. Another disappointment. Seems like your loosing potential puffs if the juice is leaking out, besides the mess.
Overall, I think I will be happy with my purchase of the eGo. I can't wait to try other juices.
Just as a thought, I may end up ordering juice with even less nicotine (maybe none) and geared more to the VG side for more vapor. Besides being new to this, Liberty Flights juice pages were a little confusing for me. I may try somewhere else like Freedom Smoke USA next time.
Anyway, there is my initial feeling on the eGo. I think that there is still room for improvement for it, but I am happy with it and will enjoy it for some time to come!
