Happened onto this site and glad I did!
I was 1st introduced to the idea of e-cig by some former Shipmates (Navy-folk) during an underway some time ago. The Submarine Force has gone fully smoke-free this past year and I was embarked on one of our boats a little over a year ago. The command had shifted to a smoke-free policy before it was mandated so I was content with my tins of Copenhagen- I actually dipped before I started smoking.
On that particular ride, we were unexpectedly extended on board; not an issue for me but a few of the guys had e-cigs and was the first time I had see them 1st hand. Liked the idea and the experience, but truth be told I was really not sold on the safety due to ignorance (like analogs are safer for Peat's sake) and analogs were still pretty cheap.
Fast-forward to now, I've transferred to New England where is gets damn cold outside (we don't smoke in the house or the cars) and analogs are 3x the price! Those 2 factors alone prompted the re-think of a PV, but the health concerns are more real than ever. I am maybe a 1.5 PAD smoker now but I really enjoy smoking- I quit for over a year and view smoking as more of a habit/choice and am really intrigued by the endless options for liquids, options and flavors e-cigs offer.
I have pretty much made up my mind to go with a Volcano Inferno starter kit with both the tank and drip options, figuring I would use the tank setup at work and on the go due to the convenience and the drip option at home to experiment with various liquids. I "think" I have learned the same PV is available cheaper as the Joye eGo (if I understand correctly) compared to the Volcano brand, but for simplicity, descent overall reputation and their warranty I have opted for them. I plan to also add an extra atty for backup and to help get a "cleaner" flavor using the drip option thinking it would prevent "contaminating" the flavors of various liquids as I learn what I like. Intention is actually to order tonight right after this post!
What I really don't understand at this point is what is the point of the Cartomizers of if they are even applicable to the Inferno? Yes I get they are portable and self-contained, but what do they offer compared to having a couple of tanks available (other than the built-in atty)? Just doesn't seem very cost effective if you can use extra tanks and have a spare atty, but I may be missing something obvious...
Anyway, thanks for reading my brain-droppings. Looking forward to learning a lot, getting some good advice and hopefully getting my wife interested at some point!
