Hello!

My name is Ryan, and I'm a little guy who's been sucking down cigarettes in the classic Northeastern-America-in-the-90's" sorta way since I was 15.

My fiance and I had been really trying to do our best research on this e-cig stuff before buying, but impulse-purchasing reigned supreme and our first cig was from the local Smoker Friendly (njoy, methinks. Not very impressive at all.). I kept pushing for Blu because I think they deliver a really sharp 'all-inclusive' product.

In the end, though, I'm a starving artist, so financial speculation is left in more capable hands. The sweetness purchased Green Smokes (on the stellar review by ecigarettereview, with the whacked out smoke monster? Yaah.) and we liked them for a bit.

Then the Green Smokes were old news, and the JOYE510 took over for both of us.

I'm hugely satisfied with the experience of the 510. Huge vape, burninates the throatles, and I hear I'm in the minority but I like those pre-packaged basic 'tobacco' flavored carts that came with the kit. Yum!

I'm not going to fib and say that the vape has killed my desire for a burning cancerstick. Seriously, I could go buy a pack right now but I think that's just habit speaking loudly. It's been, like, three or four-ish days since I had a real cig! On the plus-side, the 510 is infinitely superior to analog when driving topless. I've been wearing big huge sunglasses for a decade now to protect my eyes from flying embers and I guess I won't have to do that anymore! Finally I can take my car in for a detailing that won't be pointless.

I suppose my next milestone will be getting my own nifty USB passthrough setup like the Lady of the House has. That's really slick. Still, the greatest challenge is the Smoking Lounge, and trying to break the habit of hiding down there where I used to smoke analogs. I still go down there, but for what?

Why do I keep going down there? Tinier screen, crappier internet,cold and dank and a kink-inducing chair, and yet I persist. And every time I do it's like a tiny epic. Will he pick up his 510 and vape it out like a champ, or will he fold, open that garage door, and book it to the 7-11 for a pack of Marlboro Red?

I keep wanting to call my dad and say "See? I'm not a lost cause, I quit smoking!" but if I don't stick with it he'll make fun of me into -next- century. So i'm keeping it on the d-low till i'm sure the story ends in triumph.

Anyhoo, that's me, I have no questions yet. Glad to meet'chall.

Hi Ryan, welcome

You can still go down there, only this time you take ECF business cards and pass them out to convert others! This way they dont get cheated from the mall vendors, and gain knowledge.

Dropping the analog habit does not reduce a guys desrie for his "Man Cave". Eventually you could use the savings to upgrade to a high def LCD panel with a high speed wireless rig.

I'm on my laptop with CNN on the wall mounted screen, thermostate set to 70, enjoying my Joye ego............ but still in the third stall of the garage that was originally designed to support my need for a man cave and analogs. I only gave up the analogs! LOL

I think the smartest response would be:

From Vaporbomb I use whatever juice my sweety picks up, which is in the middle nicotine dosage range. I keep saying I want to try some more powerful juice, but I stand alone. 24mg, i think, is my favorite available juice. That sounds right. Either way, i'm still enjoying those pre-packaged "HIGH" labeled preloaded carts that came with the starter kit. they say "High".

I was a full-pack smoker and buried smoking cigarettes deep into every standard sequence of daily events, and I think this has at least as much to do with the challenge of quitting as the mg dosage. But that won't stop me from ramping it up anyway, right?

GIVE ME SPICE! Thanks to your teachings it's changing my consciousness.

oh, and by the way, call me a dork but if I end up saving money from this adventure, that cash is going toward the "What Recesssion?" Space Marine Thunderhawk Gunship. Maybe -that- is what belongs in the Man Cave. haha. Man Cave. Used to be that special spot where my smoker girl and I could spend some time giving each other incurable tumors.

Meeemories.

Wait, did I say Memories? I meant Meeelllaanoma.

Dont fret going to the smoking lounge. I still head there out of respect for my coworkers. Many many people do not understand what an e-cig is, or how it works. So, if they see you doing it, it could cause problems where none should exist. I am sure that other people do the same, if not for differant reasons. I completely understand why someone would need to go down to the smoking lounge.

Hehe, if for nothing else it provides me with an opportunity to get out of my desk.

Also, i have found the the smoking lounge is not a place to be feared. Once you find some fluids that really do the trick for you, youll find that the e-cig tastes better than analogs. So, in my mind, why am i going to pick up something that tastes worse than what i am currently using. I would really advise ordering 2 off the wall flavors with every order you make. Order something that you have no idea that you will like (in the smallest size possible). Thats how i found some of my most favorite flavors.

Also, perhaps i am just lucky, but everyone i have come accross in the lounge has been extremely receptive to the e-cig. Most of them have either already placed an order for an e-cig, or are giving it some thought.

I also understand wanting to keep it on the down low. Once i hand broke the physical habit of picking up a lighter, and reached for the PV, without hesitation, i started talking about it. I get that bit, its one thing to fail, its another to fail publically. Most people i know have fallen off the wagon once or twice. But, they quickly got back on. So, keep in mind that you can do it. Dont pressure yourself. Just enjoy your PV.
