So I finally bought an e-cig

They have a stand in the mall here with cute girls offering people a sample as they walk by I think I will keep resisting the temptation.

Ecigs remind me of the Star Trek TNG episode Encounter at Farpoint, or whatever the title is. It's when they get put on trial by Q, and it takes place in a post apocalyptic courtroom. The guards have these drug huffing devices they periodically take a hit from(can't remember what's in them, or if they ever said). It's an unglamorous, and unartful method of using nicotine. Cigarettes to Ecigs is like the difference between smoking opium, and firing heroin. Opium(cigarettes/snus) has some sensual characteristics with flavor, and application. It's a more relaxed method of getting your drug. While heroin(Ecigs) is just about efficient drug delivery, with some commodity flavors put on top to make it seem like something. No art, and no skill in production.

Well said. I was at the point where cigs tasted lousy by the time I gave them up and the snus flavors were so good. I do smoke the occasional mini-cigar, one or two a month, and that is more about smoking than nicotine delivery, enjoyable.

that certainly would keep me from smokeing....out in pubic.

Wonderful advice guys... after researching the forums, you were spot on with your Joyce recommendations.

Now my questions is (as I am still a newb): eRoll vs eGo-C vs eGo-T. I don't really understand why an atomizer that you can take apart would cost more than one that you can't.

Could some kind soul go to the trouble of outlining the differences among these three?

I am a newb all over again - I feel like when I first joined snuson!!

PP I see you got the rechargeable NJOY setup instead of the disposables. Haven't tried those because local prices are way more expensive than what you paid, by a factor of about 2. Both here and online the cheapest NJOY kit is $21.95 and the cartomizers are also $21.95. Decent kit price but the cartomizer prices are way out of line. I think their sales strength will be in disposables anyway. I like 'em but not being a menthol smoker I've never tried one of those. From what I've read menthol is one of the trickier flavors to mimic well.

I have ordered a rechargeable setup, with the rather perverse name of Bullsmoke, and I will report. I hope we don't become a vaping forum but the fact is that snus and e-cigs seem to complement each other very well and the combo can really keep the cig cravings at bay, especially in times of great stress as I have found out recently.

I wouldn't go for the eroll it only has a 90mah battery, which would only last you about 90mins. Anything small and cigarette like in size is a waste of time with the charging and amount of eliquid you can fit in them.

Ego C and T batteries are the same. It is the atomizer and cartridge system that makes them different, they both use an atomizer and a tank cartridge, C is slightly improved version of T. Again i would not recommend this system because of eliquid capacity and leaking issues.

The ego batteries are great 650mah will last about 6 hours and is quite small, then the bigger you go up the bigger they are and longer they last. so a 900mah will last you about 9 hours etc.

The best easiest tank system to put on your ego battery is a Vision Clearomizer. You simply unscrew the mouthpiece, pour your eliquid in, replace the mouthpiece, screw it onto your battery and vape. The clearomizers last about 2 - 3 weeks of constant vaping until you need to replace it or clean it.

This is what they look like - http://www.sun-vapers.com/buy/vision-ego-clearomizer/

So all you need is a charger for ego batteries, a couple of ego batteries, some clearomizers and some eliquid. To get a good hit of nic you will want around 18mg eliquid, 24mg is also acceptable but is quite strong.

THANK YOU!!!!

You have no idea how helpful you have been!

Mirroring a lot of what has been said here about most of the OTC in the average store. A dedicated E-cig vendor can do better. For the heavy nicotine consumer you want at least an eGo and probably want to look into direct drip and at least 18mg liquid if not 26mg.

The variables are soooo many why to choose a certain set up to vape with. The juice, the thickness of juice, the strength of nic the strength of flavor, the flavor with plastic v/s glass delivery dveice, to flavor or not to flavor, the base nicotine sources, the attomizers, ohms of the attomizers, the different fillers, how loose or tight they are packed, the type of wire to make the coils in the attomizers, how big the battery, how many volts to use, dryer coils v/s too wet, what it looks like how long it lasts..... It does come down to personal preferance but in order to have a personal preferance there is a lot to tried! evry system seems to have some kind of compromise. In my experience with a lot of different things i still maintain the ERoll is worth the short life. It uses the personal charging system. Think of it as an ashtry. It doesnt last anywhere near 90 minutes either. It doesnt last long enough to finish the .4 ml of ejuice in the little tank but it kicks ass in the flavor department and portability. The plastic clearomizer set ups just mute everything. Almost my least favorite. So there you go. Its an experiential thing and you wont be quite getting it unless you try them all and THAT is expensive. I think its why vapefests are getting popular. You can go around and try different e juices and devices. So lng as it doesnt cost too much to get there that would be fun fun fun. Id go every weekend for awhile and till have different things to try. Its a fun and addicting new thing. Flavor is the hardest one. Once you have one that wows you youre well n the road to getting it

This might help get someone started if they are looking for e juice! Its a big industry busy busy busy

[voodooman]

not my pic, but same setup i got. works well, and makes a lot of vapor. the tobacco flavor juice i got tastes pretty awful. the vanilla is ok.

about the disposables... did you know they're actually rechargeable. took a couple apart, and sure enough it's a friggin' lithium polymer battery. i actually recharged one and put it back together. worked fine. not practical, but possible.

I definately would of used a ecig to quit smoking but believe snus was a better divorce from the hand to mouth psychological action.

Yeah, I think I eventually want to do away with the E-cig. But the hand to mouth portion is a tough part of my habit. Smokeless tobacco is a much better vitamin-N delivery system.

Is that a Killer RBA? What is the battery defice? Very desirable item there! Im following a thread about the Killer because i love carto /tank set ups. Want to use my 6ml slim pyrex tanks from The Ecig and dont know if Killer will fit. Too troublesome at this time but eventually ill find a carto type RBA
