Hello All,
I actually bought an electronic cigarette about 2+ years ago from a local smoke shop when i lived in charleston, SC...it was an InLife Prestige model and it really never did the trick, plus it cost me 150 dollars which looking back was an insane amount of money for a very lackluster product. Well I broke that and then moved and left it in the trunk of my car and forgot about it. Two weeks ago I went on leave after an 8 month deployment and all of my friends back home (we're all heavy pack+ a day smokers) had quit smoking and were puffing on V2 Ecigs and had bought me a starter kit for my birthday. I have to say I was very impressed by the small size and how effective it is. I ordered some cartos and high-caliber ejuice from alvinecigs.com (fastest shipping ever, btw) and haven't looked back. I did quickly get tired of replacing the batteries all of the time though, and the unregulated power supply makes me violently angry (i'm an electronics nerd) so i got online and found something i would never have to charge more than once in a day and that had regulated power. I ordered an ePower Ego w/18650 batteries from gotvapes.com and their fluxomizer carts to try out. They should come in tomorrow or the next day and i'm really excited to take this to the next level. I also ordered a PCC and some more juice from alvinecigs.com because the size of the V2 is really nice, and i could see carrying it now and again.
Being in the navy, and having roadblocks to my smoking all of the time (fueling, ammo handling, etc) makes ecigs so much more incredible. I love them, so very very much. Also i found out that Vapure eliquids is based in san diego, where i live, and has a storefront. Does anyone have any experience with them, or any flavor recommendations?
