Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and to the world of vaping. I have been smoking roughly 2 packs of marlboros a day since i started high school, and i am really starting to get sick of the damage they do to my body- sick of the smoker's cough, sick of being out of breath from goin up and down a flight of stairs, etc. not to mention the chance of lung cancer.
A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine told me about electronic cigarettes. I had never heard of them before and was intrigued by the idea. Unfortunately, this friend didn't know very much about them. Then, a couple days ago while christmas shopping at a local mall, i came across a stand selling the smoking everywhere electronic cigarettes. The guy was nice enough to pop on a fresh cartridge and let me try it out. I didn't think too much of it, but after browsing this forum and other sites for info on e-cigs i found that A) i had not puffed it correctly- i puffed it like i would a cigarette, not long and slow like i have read you are supposed to and B) smoking everywhere is a rather disreputable company.
Nevertheless, i am still intrigued by the idea of e-cigs and really want to make the switch from tobacco cigarettes to an electronic. However, being a complete newbie to the e-cig world, i have absolutely NO IDEA what to do. I don't even know what the difference is between a 510, 801, 901, etc. I am hoping someone on here will be kind enough to help me out...i know the choice of an e-cig depends on many personal factors, but i'm just looking to be pointed in the right direction, so to speak. What i want is something simple (ideally one of the 2 piece units with the disposable "cartomizers", i really dont want to have to mess with changing/cleaning/maintaining atomizers, at least not for my first e-cig purchase) that will replicate the feel of smoking a tobacco cigarette closely enough that i won't be jonesing to go outside and have one. I dont necessarily care if it looks like a cigarette or not, just want something simple that gives a nice throat hit and produces a good size cloud of vapor while giving me my nicotine fix so it feels like i am smoking a tobacco cigarette. Price is really not an issue for me, though a friend of mine told me that i should not waste money on any of the "cheap" ones and that if i really wanted to switch to e-cigs i'd have to spend a few hundred bucks on for a real quality one. Dont know if he's right about that, certainly doesnt seem like it considering i havent yet found one for sale for more than $150 for a starter kit online.
Sorry about the ridiculously long post, just wanted to explain a little bit about where im coming from and what im looking for in the hopes that someone can point me in the direction of a good quality e-cig that will allow me to enjoy vaping as much as (or hopefully more than!) i enjoy smoking. Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated
