yet another newbie with a story

[alphavap]

I wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone make up their mind. I have been smoking for 31 years and thought I always would. I started out on the safe cig which is an rn4018 style that doesn't get a lot of love here. but for me it works great and I like not looking like I am smoking a womens makeup bottle..but hey that is me. There are many offers and better prices then the safe cig but i feel I got what I payed for..I but another 29 $ starter set elsewhere and the case was a joke and the battery is hit or miss at best. I am on my 4th week now and I my still have 2-4 cigarettes a week ..don't ask me why maybe its all the years habit etc. an e-cig is great and well save you tons of money and hopefully improve your health but it is not smoking a cig. nothing will replace that 100% but as a die hard smoker ( no pun intended) do go from a carton a week to 2-4 in 3 weeks is a miracle.
so as a relative newbie ask me anything that you think the veterans might take for granted..


I wish you well
and the best of luck with your new hobby

Welcome, alpha! You may yet change your mind about sucking on a makeup bottle, pipe bomb, or block of wood. In the meantime, enjoy!

Welcome to ECF alphavap. At least the ecig has cut your analog usage. I don't look at it as a new hobby but getting rid of an old habit. I've found that getting enough nicotine and in the right mixture of PG and VG is key.

Hi Alphavap,
Another 4081 vaper here, if you haven't found them yet Aqua Vapor in Cumming has a good stock of 4081 stuff. I like mine also, just not interested in the bigger ones.

I have been lurking for awhile and decided to post. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome..I don't think I would have lasted as long had I not found this form.

I will say I stressed at 1st that I needed to get a ego-t because I wanted more consistency then I was getting from the pre-filled cartomziers.

but once I learned how to drip I am very happy

I have had an awesome experience with aquavapor the started kit was a bit iffy but the juice is wonderful. I freaked out becasue I could not get my atomizer out of my kit I called and they calmed me down and gave me some great advice about refilling the carts which for me just seems to work out better.

I have tried a syringe as well as just dripping and the difference in smoke and throat hit makes dripping the better solution..I will just have to get better and neater at it.
