So I finally bought an e-cig

[Premium Parrots]

I broke down and bought one of those "Blu" e-cigs and one of the "Encore" e-cigs to see what it is all about. Mind you I have a solo for herb and I suppose I could use that for the same vaporizer as the e-cig liquid but I haven't done much research on the products and how to use it yet....if thats even possible.

Surely I can use any info you guys that know about this want to provide but I really wanted to at least make this comment.....

This mentiol flavor is pretty decent. Tastes great and doesn't smell up the house. But I don't get ANY nicotine satisfaction at all whatsoever with the e-cig. Sometimes I use it and 5 minutes later need to put in a snus. Is it the amount or nic per puff or the rate that the nic is absorbed that would cause this. The e-cig tastes great but leaves me flat in the nic dept.

Oh, do I need to make an investment into better system to get the nic that I'm looking for? I don't know. An 8mg snus portion works great for me and much more than 8 mg is just too much for my heart. Recommendations? comments......that may help an old man understand this.


I know some of the info is probably found thru the search button but I really wanted to comment on my disatifaction in the nic dept. Does anyone else notice this? Any advice is appreciated.


.....a side note; when I'm anywhere near a tobacco display I always look at all the products. But I can't look at the menthol cigs. I love em and am fairly confident that if I smoked even one menthol cig that I would be back on the cigs. However, when a friend comes by and he smokes I will ask him for a cig every once in a while. He smokes marlboro reds and I never liked non-menthol cigs so I end up taking 2 or 3 puffs and tossing it. That has always helped me reinforce the fact that I don't want to smoke tobacco and to stay away from the cigs [it may all be subconcious tho]......but this e-cig menthol flavored, gets me puffin. Should I just stop that and stick with snus......since I end up snusing to get my nic anyway?

Ha... a newbie!

Those blu and other OTC e-cigs SUCK!

Go here: http://www.thevaporroom.net/ Their 100% VG Juices are FANTASTIC!!!

I have been interested in ecigs for some time now... would love a pointer to the best one for beginners!

Well sweety. Go on over to ECF or you can listen to my advice. Just commit to eRoll. If you don't like it after learning to use it right ( very easy) then you probably won't like vaping. It's actually my favorite. It keeps it simple and it's just the most satisfying. A little bit pricey. 2nd being Reo bottom feeder mod with rebuildable atty and this would not be a good starter. The good thing is eRoll is a great starter and you'll always keep it and use it even if you get the big fancy things

PP the ecig world is a vasty place, much larger than the snus world, with a own very extensive array of choices and its differing levels of connoiseurship. Expect to spend some time and dough to find a comfortable niche there.

IMHO.... The Joytech ego-c with the TWIST VV Battery (3.2V to 4.8V @1000mAh) Is the best setup ever.... The initial cost is a bit, But not much and has a very good reputation in the E-cig world, The sky is the limit, But.... I bought this set-up for my daughter and she loves it as do I.... What you bought is crap compared to this.... PP if you think the snus world has alot of flavors, Man! The vape world has 10 times more.... I have taken several hits off my daughters and it's just like thg a cigg and the nic hit is just about the same as a cig, I was blown away..... I would go for at least the 70% VG and 30 PG at at least 12mg to 18mg.... The vape world is way different in MG than snus.... VG Is the amount of vapor that is produced, the PG is the throat hit.... There is way more to it than that, But gives you an idea....

The only reason I don't fly with it is because if I do it may reinforce me wanting to go back to smoking, But have been thinking way too much about smoking and this will be a very good alterative.... I do think this is a subconcious thing though....

I, like you would go back to smoking in a heartbeat after 38 years of doing it, But with this it gives you at least that safety net that you won't go back....

Side note: I will be using one of my daughter's 3 Ego c e ciggs when My bil that smokes cigars comes down here in a month or so just so I don't feel left out instead of smoking, Hell man! Me and him used to smoke and talk for hours..... snus does take care of that, But there is that subconcious Thang

I would go here for your first setup as it's the cheapest I have found....

I was looking at these things earlier this week. almost went with the eRoll. that does look cool. instead ordered a sd keyring and a mini vivi nova for about the same price with a few other bits.

That site doesn't appear on any of the major review indexes... I am curious, because I am a complete newb: what differentiates that from say, a Green Smoke? (The Green Smoke has very high reviews.)

[GoVegan]

One of the biggest disappointments I faced as a smoker is when you ran out of smokes and somebody would offer
you a Newport or some other menthol flavored smoke. Its similar to being offered General Wintergreen when you are out of snus. All you can do is say thanks. In reality though, you are thinking damn, that's messed up.

From that site....

Man! It's just like different tastes with snus and there are so many on other sites but on this one, I was really surprised at and liked the Green Apple and is the best to me, other's would be Black Cherry, Tobacco - Virginia Flue Cured and X1 eLiquid for the natural tobacco taste...

Edit: I gotta tell ya... That Green Apple beats any apple flavored snus ever.... I really like it... I could vape that all day long... No problem..... MMMmmm ! I may have to hit my daughter upside the head and steal it soon

[Faylool]

I'll suggest Mt Baker Vaper for a good experience. And again, eRoll

Boba's Bounty is da bomb!

[Snotgifff]

I tried quite a few ecigs and tons of different juices and strengths...the nic was never satisfying. Enter snus, cured my craving for a Marlboro menthol within a couple weeks.

I've got a drawer full of batteries, juices and accessories... what a waste. :-(
