I just received my V2Cig today. I tried vaping a year ago with V4L and could not stand the taste of their carts. Bleh. They were way, way too flavored for me and gave me a headache. I'd also tried a few others in the malls, etc...the PG taste was just too disgusting, so I nearly gave up on it altogether. Thankfully, I decided to try V2cigs because their juice is made here in the USA...I don't know if this is the difference in the flavor for me, but it definitely tastes a lot better and less 'PG-ish'. I got the vanilla and coffee with my kit, and really enjoy both of them.
Now, I realize that these are more expensive than a lot of other options, but I don't intend on using the e-cig forever. I intend to quit completely. I don't want to make an entire lifestyle out of it (which, if you do, I have nothing against that) I just want to quit altogether.
Anyway, the carts last a long time. I am a pack-a-day smoker, and I'm sitting here at 11 PM, still puffing away on the same cart I installed this morning.
The battery life is pretty decent. I had fully-charged my manual battery at 11:00 AM this morning, and it just died about an hour ago, so I switched to the automatic.
I dunno...I'm no vaping connoisseur, but these things seem to do the trick for me, for now. I don't mind paying $1.50 or less per day for carts when I was paying $7.50 per day in nasty, smelly, unhealthy analogs.
