[Enzusa]

Hi Enzusa! I have been using ECF for a month and find myself in some oddball places it is huge. Trying to confine myself to smokeless image forum and juice forums for now because my head was spinning with info lol.
Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome everyone

Teacup: I like your message under your banner...myself, smoked for over 40 years...first tried at aged 6 then smoked since age 9, how ludicrous is that!

Isn't it just sick Enzusa, how early we can start that habit! So so so so glad I found an ecig at my local drugstore and it worked (nasty as it was) and then kept seeing SI videos the Volt looked easy enough that even I could do it lol. But yea can not believe finally I have been smoke free literally for over a month! I have had 1 day in that time that i "wanted" a cig but I am not sure that it was so much I wanted one as it was i had such ingrained practices, times, places, reasons I would light up...with vaping I try to not do any of the same things IE go out and sit in the front yard dwhile vaping ( that is where I smoked) or vaping right after dinner...so that it really has no association with an analog. But yet the other day I kept finding myself wanting to go sit out side and smoke (but not a cig does that make sense) like i was really really missing the association to cigs but it passed I am sure it will hit every now and then we don't get 37-40 years worth of habitual behavior to let go that darn easy. Thank God for SI and PV's ( I really don't like the term Ecig)

Thanks everyone for the warm Welcome.

I have told him to join the site but he is working a lot right now he is getting ready to do a cross country motorcycle trip on rte 66 so trying to earn as much cash as possible (thats why mom is paying his vaping way right now lol) but I figure since I taught him the bad habit I should be the one to help him break it.

Question I used to smoke Virgina Slims 8-10 cigs a day usually about 3/4 of the cig each time. I find I am able to go 2 days on a cartomizer before needing to fill it does that sound right? Some times I feel like I am vaping all freakin day but some times I feel like I am not getting the nic fix, I have been using 12mg juice ( my goal is to ultimately not be vaping or at least not using any nic at all) I did just order a big bottle of juice in 18mg and also 2 in 0 nic ( the 0 is because sometimes I find myself not wanting the nic just wanting to vape) anyway...still so new to this I am sure I will go thru all sorts of mg ranges...

Hello to all who have discovered what a great product line SI has and gotten off of tobacco!

@Teacup36, you and I stopped tobacco on almost the same day. I was a heavier smoker, over half a pack a day, and have smoked cigarettes for the better part of 50 years. I did have, and still have less frequently, more than one day of wanting another Marlboro, but gritted my teeth and stuck to my PV (Why don't we call it an "ANDS" - Alternative Nicotine Delivery System?) I find myself vaping much more than I smoked. One of the reasons is that the nicotine in the vapor is not absobed as readily by your body, generally speaking, since it is not "enhanced" with the addition of more chemicals as in a tobacco cigarette. The other thing that hits me is that a PV has no "light up" and no "stub out" to signal a beginning and end, it just keeps going and going like the Energizer Bunny until either the carto is empty or the battery is dead. Overtime, I think it'll even out, at least I sure hope so.

 

[Enzusa]

LOL @ Energizer Bunny

Whhaaaaa it is not my weekend for SI.. Battery arrived DOA yesterday and today my usb charger that is 3 weeks old broken in half as a battery was being unscrewed from it what really stinks is the new batt was for my son and i had lent him the usb and 1 of my batteries till his got here needless to say he is not a happy vapor right now. So I lent him my passthru that came with my pro kit hopefully I will here from CS monday i sent a ticket in about the battery. Imagine does the 3 month warranty cover the usb charger?? If so i need to send a ticket to CS for that.
Thanks

Yeah I've had that happen before. I think they start answering emails like an hour before the phones open. I've had several times where I sent an email during off hours and they responded to it by 830 in the morning even though customer service wasn't open yet.

Well, I thought I would share, seems a little redundant given the following and the quality I stumbled on. I have been threatening to give up analogs for a long time. I hear about the vaping thing and decide to give it a try. I spent weeks researching and trying to figure out which one to buy, very daunting. So, I pull the trigger and place my order, and can't hardly wait for it to arrive. A few hiccups in the ordering process but were quickly resolved. A month later, I am very pleased with my VOLT minis, though not completely off analogs this will be the thing to get me away from them. THANKS I have introduced these to a couple people at work, with responses like "WOW", "I like this", "I feel like I just had a cig" and "where did you get these?".
I have a question for the general masses, I ordered two 65 mm batts and several carts, one of the batts seem to draw harder than the other, and some carts produce less vapor than others, oh, the question, Is this normal, or is the difference in vapor from the different juices loaded? I have a bottle of the Ice Menthol I use to top off my carts, seems to blend over with most of the flavors. I have ordered some blanks and another batt which should be here tomorrow or next. I have also ordered some Highbrow sample juice in a 80/20 mix to see if I can narrow down the vapor inconsistencies.

I too spent weeks online watching videos and reading reviews. I was just about to click on checkout for an identical product, but decided to check one more site before I did to put my mind at ease. Low and behold it was SI. Same product only cheaper and the best dang customer service on the planet. Another likeness we have is it took me quite some time to completely drop the sticks. I started vaping off and on in April and this Saturday will be my first week analog free. Yee haw!
As far as the difference in vapor, I noticed it with the Vanilla cartos. It seems to be a little thicker juice, so maybe it does have something to do with that.

Congratulations on the first week.!!! I have not tried the vanilla yet, looking forward to it though. I had ordered 2 different nic levels, 1 at 6mg and some at 12mg, I think it was the 12mg carts that made the kind of vapor that just hung in the air a moment, so much so that people accused me cheating with a real smoke. This might be easier to sort out if the PG/VG ratios were listed for the various juices.

awesome guys

 

[lilac7779]

Welcome, new Volties, and congrats!!

 

[dust2vap]

awesome guys

Thank you....

Can you tell me if your e-juices have different PG/VG ratios from, say flavors or nic levels (ie:6mg, 12mg or higher)?

 

[thedigger]

I believe when I ordered mine I remember seeing that all juices were 70/30 PG/VG

 

[Mroutlaw]

I believe that si juices are 90%pg. The vapor production is pretty impressive when you consider that

Hi all,

Just wanted to say hi in here. About a month ago I switched to the volts from another vendor and want to say my family and I are happy I did. Over the last month + I have been reading and getting tips so I can successfully make the transition to a healthier life. Needless to say you all here and on ecf have done that to an extent you can,t put into words. My thanks.

Your cs is top notch. I often say to my vendors at work they need to follow. I also have an email crush on Heather., but don,t tell my wife. Teasing a bit but after the support I get at work it was refreshing to see that other companies treat their clients the way I treat mine.

Anyway just wanted to poke in and am glad there are other cinci people and northern ky people here as well.

Enjoy your weekend.
