7-11 is getting awesome. I'm sure none in Jersey carry e-cigs though because Jersey sucks.

I didn't think mine had them either until I called. I had seen a few posts of people getting them at 7-11 so I called my local 7-11 (pretty small town and the 7-11 is subpar for the chain) When I went by to get it, there was NO advertising, and I didn't see a display or anything. I had to ask. The box was the size of a cig pack, and was in the rack with the cigs. I never would have found them if I hadn't asked.

Sorry but you made about the worste choice possible.

thats all subjective my dear :) The worst possible choice was to not consider an e-cig IMHO. Unfortunately I don't have the extra money to go out and buy a great one right off the bat....that will come with tax time :) This poor chica lost her job, finally found a new one 6 mos later at an $11,000/yr pay cut. I make do with what I have. I was down to smoking uber cheap ($22/carton) cigs, so my cig budget of $44 a month is all I have to work with.

Wasn't trying to sound like an ....... I wasn't trying to knock you, just your decision. Can I do that without being offensive? I was just giving it to you straight with no cherries on top. I was (in my own way I guess) trying to tell you not to get discouraged with vaping based on the performance of the 7-11 e cig.

There is always someone defending a low end e cig to for the purpose of being original. Well I ain't one of em'. It's kinda like when you said your 7-11 is subpar for the chain and then someone else saying 'oh that's just a matter of opinion, I prefer 7-11's that don't sell potato chips and frozen burritos.' If you prefer an ecig with the lowest performance and battery life possible, then I guess you did all right.

Sorry to hear about your job situation and all. Hang in there. Ok I'm shutting up now.

This thread is not about 7-11, it is about the Npro RN4081.

I figured I'd spend the $20 and look at it as a "test" model to see if it was something I would like. I'll probably get a Joye510 next. So far the NJoy is performing better than I expected it to. In 48 hours I have only had to charge the battery once, and I'm still on the 1st cartomizer.

For the record, the nPro is a three piece model rn4081, it uses an atomizer and a cartridge, not a cartomizer (unless njoy has changed their design). Also, I would not recommend going from an npro to a standard 510, you won't notice that much difference other than lower battery life. Go with something like the 510 ego (which has a larger battery) or the hello16 (which has a battery more than twice as large as the ego).

I started on an NPro as well. I will say this though, since recieving a 510 manual and a pair of smokestiks, my NPro has been put in a baggy along with the atty for potential backup duty. you won't regret the switch.
THE SMOKESTIK IS THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE NPRO THEY ARE BOTH RN4081's

Not exact. I have had a generic 4081. They are sound activated, and require a MUCH harder draw to function. SS is the closest to a cig that I have had from a PV. The cartos are special also. Check this thread, especially post #18 for cutaways of the SS and KR8 cartos. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/smokestik/126895-a-2.html BTW, Red and I both have the PitBull Beta test model that have a 250mAh batt. Not the same.

NJoy changed the NPro to the NPro Duo which is a 2 piece. Its called the NPro Duo or 2N1

Let's all bash a model we have zero experience with, come on everybody Join the bandwagon. (and worst doesn't have an E in it)

i've only been on here a few days and already thinking i won't post anymore. i didn't ask if anyone approved of what I bought. I knew what I was getting going in. I had my reasons for purchasing it. I posted a question about batteries yesterday and that thread ended in why would i want to vape and charge, why don't i invest in more batteries. OY. i just asked a simple question about batteries in general. I don't really feel like explaining in every thread my reasons for what I do.

/end rant

I agree with the people above me, dont leave. I am new here as well and like you I bought the N-joy. I like mine....I believe its good for me as a starter anyways. I too plan on upgrading at some point but the way I look at it is if the N-joy helps me to quit smoking (and so far it is) then it was worth the money for me. And if I continue on this venture then I will upgrade. I hopefully will do that soon. But good luck to you in your venture :)

congrats. Good luck as well!

I was a skeptic at first, but the first week I had 1 pack total of analogs finding the want for them less and less. Now I'm 3 weeks into it and 2 weeks analog free. I've spent about 3 months worth of comparable cartons, but have soooo many neat toys to play with and my juice collection never leaves me bored :)

Please don't let the few grumpies discourage you. We all try to help eachother, alot more than people in other forums do. If you want to see some flame-posts, check out almost any fast car forum. All they do is name call and discourage eachother(testosterone driven. lol). Once you have found what works for you, no one should be saying anything discouraging to you IMHO. Whatever works is what works. If I was part of the problem for you, I appologize. I just happen to like very much what I have, and like for people to get info from my experience of 6-7 different e-cigs that I've had in the last 6 months.
