Hi everybody
I've been lurking on this amazing forum for a couple of days and I'd like to say thanks to all of you very informed and informative posters.
A week ago I'd never heard of e-smoking, spotted the Gamucci on iwantoneofthose.com and fairly quickly washed up here. I have to say the range of devices and suppliers is bewildering AND bewitching (iwantallofthose!)
Bit about me: I live in the UK, smoker for 25 years, about a pack a day right now, and have failed to give up more times than I can count (made two years once, but got nailed by 'the dreadful, patient persistence of addiction'). Never tried patches or gum as i was fairly sure nothing could replace the instant hit you get from the demon weed.
These devices seem to be the answer.
My immediate impression is that I'll get on much better with mini-cigarettes than pen-types. I'm the sort of guy that looks for what's missing in a replicated experience rather than what's present, so I think a cigarette-like device will suit me. I also think I'd be self-conscious puffing on a pen in public. Never been a cigar or pipe smoker so I'm fairly indifferent to those designs (until I'm out of cigs - then I'll smoke rope if that's all there is).
I'm hoping that, like some people on the forum, I'll be able to kick the weed completely. My only anxiety is that I won't like the taste of the cartridges - I've been with the same brand for most of the time I've been smoking and other brands make me a bit twitchy (but see rope comment above!). Marlboro is the only brand I've ever turned down when I'm out, but it also seems the easiest to replicate, given it's unique toasty taste.
Anyway, I couldn't choose between several of the highly-praised devices, so I took the plunge and ordered four, as below:
njoy cigarette style starter kit (white)
Sedansa Nano SC500 v2
Janty Kissbox Yentl
Janty Kissbox Classic
I intend to use the cigarette-style devices on my travels, and I reckon the Janty Classic will be permanently hooked up to my PC. I'm very interested in the progress of this new technology and feel that I'm going to be a regular purchaser of new devices as they become available. I'll feedback my experiences to the forum.
One final observation - I ended up ordering the njoy from the American site because, even with the $50.00 shipping fee, it came up £45 cheaper than the European site. This is probably because sterling has dived against the euro, but not against the dollar (at the moment). I have no idea whether this will hang up in customs or if I'll have to pay extra tax on it (never been the case in several years of buying stuff online from all over the world, but this kit is entirely outside my experience).
I'm very optimistic about this development, and given the body of opinion here, right to be so.
Thanks for reading and keep up the good work - I can't think when last I stumbled across so useful an online resource.
