Newbies, like me, have so many questions.
And for every question there seems to be about ten different answers.
And quite often, some of those answers can even be conflicting.
But of course, we don't want to spend a lot of money going through different models, different juices, working through the learning curves. And who really wants to wait for product to arrive when we decide maybe we need to try something different like VG instead of PG, or higher nicotine, or lower nicotine, or a manual battery, or whatever.
We just want a simple answer to what we thought was a simple question.
Unfortunately, few of the answers can really be simple, because few of the questions are actually simple.
The following factors all influence what the right answer to your question really might be...
--What did you used to smoke?
--How long have you been smoking it?
--How often did you smoke it?
--What did you get out of the smoking experience?
--Which of the above are important to you and which can you live without?
--What do you want to get out of electronic cigarettes?
--What is your ultimate goal?
--How much effort are you willing to invest to get there?
--How much are you willing to futz with things to get where you want to go?
--How much money can you spare to get you where you want to go?
My Smoking Profile
I smoked somewhere between 3-10 Camel light cigarettes per day. I didn't really care so much about the nicotine, but I really needed something mindless to do that would allow me to take breaks during the day and relax for a bit. I have no desire to quit and never have, but I wouldn't mind if I eventually just moved forward without the nicotine. I don't want to futz with anything at all, I just want it to work without thinking about it for even a second or it ruins the point of taking a break.
Well, my answers to your questions are going to be very different in many respects than someone who has smoked 3 packs/day of Marlboro reds, wants a good throat hit, enjoys futzing with these things, wants to smoke indoors, but really wants to quit.
If you look at the factors listed above, I think it is safe to say that everyone is going to have a lot of various answers to those questions, and that can lead to various answers to your questions. It may sound and seem obvious, but everyone is different, and smokes for different reasons, and has different needs.
As just one simple example: someone might tell you they get about an hour out of a 510 battery, and that you need to carry around five of them and have a personal charger. Well, I get through an entire day with one 510 battery.
So the bottom line is, the more information you can provide, the quicker and less painfully you might get to the right answer for you. And it will also help those who would like to answer your question consider whether or not the answer they are about to provide might be right for your circumstances.
Just a thought, hope it's helpful to someone...
