Vape-heads? Do You Vape?

[Angelika]

I switch to e-cigarettes about a year ago, and quickly went to the eGo, starting at 16mg, and now use 11mg or less Enico liquids. I am not sure if its different in the USA, but over here in Europe, specifically in the UK and Czech Republic, its no big deal, and readily available. No so much in Germany but I am close enough to the Czech Border when in Germany that this does not pose an issue.

I have not smoked a 'regular' cigarette since switching and funny enough, it bothers me now when I smell it.

e-cigarettes ... or vape-ing ... has changed my life in many ways; I can smell the farts of my dogs in all their glory, I have no smoke smell in my house, on my cloth or in my car, and people are forever curious about it. It is a great conversation starter.

Some Airlines allow you to use them over here. One I know of personally is Bulgarian Airlines. They are great about it. EasyJet not YET but I am working on them , and Ryanair only if you purchase theirs on board (in-flight).

YAY for vaping, and YAY for e-cigarettes (or cigars) - may it take over the world for smokers everywhere!!!

I recently received an email offering a free e-cig., and when I opened it, starter kits were advertised, and my freebie was'nt there. Can I get a freebie somewhere online? Curious: Angelika said she started at 16mg nic. Does the 16mg nicotine carry a smell in the vaper? I'm currently in an environment where there cannot be any type of smoke smell, plus.. I'm tired of walking a block on and off the premises at all hours. I need to start vaping asap, but.......I want a freebie first

Why do you need a freebie to start vaping???? I've been vaping for over two months now. There is a wonderful site called vapeon.tv.com where there are nightly skype type shows and viewers can chat too. I learned so much from this show on the various products out there and glad I did. A lot of people aren't succesful with the cheapy stick kind found in gas stations. A lot of e-mails come to people saying they are free trials for those kind...read the fine lines!!! After your 14 day trial period they will charge you around $99 to keep the set and then you have to buy more cartos/clearomizers and e-juice and things for them. I would suggest getting into a nice way to vape to start such as the Ego Twist or a Spinner. These are variable voltage battereies you can change to find the right setting for different juice used in clearos or cartomizers. Soon, as you get more into more sophistcated equipment you may be even happier using that. Even beyond that step, you can get into what we call Mods, These are bigger units and have variable voltage/variable wattage. The vaping community is growing by leaps and bounds and has come a long way from those near useless stick e-cigs. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Anybody I can help get off the "stinkies", as we call real cigarettes the better. There are many good vendors meridiatoo and I know aout that have great juice, very flavorful and satisfying. The nicotine level is determeined by you when you order it unlike those stick ciggies. Seriously, we would help answer your questions and give you more information to explain it all. We want there to be successful stories about people getting off cigarettes. We can hook you up to links for these items. The other thing you may want to consider is going to a brick & mortar vaping shop if you have one in your area. Please, again, just ask away for information from us. Your area may even have some vape meets you could check into also. If you are still smoking you have enough money to transition to vaping. The biggest thing you will have is a much healthier body that will probably last longer than when you smoked. Your health improves and you give yourself added years to spend with a partner, relative and friends.

As unc said, don't fall for the 'freebies', they seldom are.

Now, I don't have a problem with the pen-style or stick e-cigs and, in fact, still use mine.

If you want to find out if vaping would work for you, you can probably find a disposable e-cig outlet. Of the e-cigs most often found, I would recommend NJoy or Cig2o; other knockoffs aren't as good. If you're in the US, they're at a lot of convenience stores and drug stores too.

A local vape store (if you have one) is an even better bet; they would let you try various batteries/flavors, etc.

I totally understand not wanting to invest a lot of $$ if you don't know it will work. Caveat: what you get in a disposable is adequate, better/bigger batteries make a difference.

You asked about scent, it varies from flavor to flavor. Since you said "smoke smell" I'm assuming you mean tobacco, or something burning. Most of my tobacco flavors will have a slight scent while the vapor is visible, not not after. And nothing I vape smells of burning.

Good luck!

Glen,

You may be interested in a little starter kit from vapedojo.com for their Katana starter kit. It is a small battery unit at 650 mAh, but it comes with the full kit including clearomizer and battery charger for only $12.99. I got it for $9.99 with a coupon code KATANA but I don't think that $3 discount is still available. Just need some e-liquid to get you going.
