I think there are plenty of places I can do the slealth thing. Even if I get caught I don't think anyone would say anything. I was, note I said was, the only smoker in the building and I'm sure they would all support my new toys. Another first for me today. Before I would quit for a couple of weeks at a time (with Patch) so I could work out and run. After a week or so I would start smoking again. Today, I ran 2 miles this morning and hit the gym this afternoon for an hour and have no ill effacts from low oxygen. This is absolutely awesome. Now I can have the best of both worlds.

So many options......wow! I have not done any reading on direct dripping. I'll have to keep that in my hip pocket for down the road. I'm just having way to much fun right now with my limited starter set. Drag, laugh, say this is so cool......drag, laugh, say this is so cool. One thing I would see a lot on the posts was telling newbies to take a longer slow drag. I did that, but today I went back to my normal shorter drag that I did with my marlboros and it's perfect. The throat issue is gone and the short drag seems perfect. Now I just have to convince my boss to let me vap in the office. Might be a tough sell.

Thanks Tameiki. I'm thinking this has gone pretty much perfect for me because of the info from the forum before I jumped in and the fact that I have been trying for ages to quit the analogs and I was so ready for this to work. Folks here gave me great info to do it right the first time. Good info on the changes you experience with the same flavors. Also I can see already that the flavors may seem good for a while and then your tastes change. I will probably pick a couple more different flavors and then wait a while to see which ones stay with me and which lose their pazzaz. The idea of getting some cappachino and diluting down the Mocha sounds good too. Will have to try that.

So far my juice experience has been three different flavors. The tobacco flavor that came with the kit from Nashville, Traditional Tobacco and Starbuck's Mocha from Sweet Vapes. The tobacco with the kit was, well, kinda so so. I hope anyone thinking of making the jump to ecigs orders something other than that, because if that were your first experience, you might not think ecigs are all that great. The Traditional Tobacco from Sweepvapes was just really nice. My first drag was with this and I was expecting (from all the post I've read) to experience cardboard, burnt nylon or maybe stale wet tabacco, but it was absolutey wonderful. Ten times better than my old marlboros. The Mocha was, well, pretty much like mocha. So far I will put it in my "good" catagory, but it probably won't be in my top five. Guess I'm more of a cappachino kinda person. I'm going to make another order from SweetVapes to get a few more different flavors. Looking for suggestions on what folks like the best in their collection.

I think I am going to be one of those who made the jump and never looked back. Did the patches for years and never could make the final cut from my marlboros. Since my first draw on my ego, I have no desire to go back. One more bennie. There's a hurricane going on outside and I don't have to go out to have my fix. Yeah!!!! What you just said woke up an inactive brain cell from my quitting experiences. It was always when I would quit smoking for a while that I would get the feeling on needing to clear my throat. I think that is what I'm experiencing because, as you say, all the junk is not there and my lungs are already starting to clean house. I love it.

Understand. Actually the throat hit feels exactly like my old cigs. I'm dragging on these exactly like before. Get a mouthful and then inhale. I think what I'm experiencing is sort of an after effect of the juice. Never in all the years of smoking did I ever feel the need to clear my throat after having a smoke, but I do seem to feel the need to clear my throat with the e-cig. Feels like I have a residue left in my throat. But, its definitely something I can live with. It's been three days now without an analog and I can already feel the difference. More energy and all the other good effects you get when you stop smoking. The starter kit came with a bottle of 18mg juice and I tried it. Definitely stronger than the 12mg. It will be my reserve if I ever feel the need for more nicotine. How long can juice stay in a carto before it starts turning bad?

Hello everybody. I have been (was) a smoker forever. My little sister was able to quit last year after converting to e-cigs so I decided to give it a try. I have been reading everyone's post for a while and last week I finally felt I had enough info to make the jump. Special thanks to JQ and all those who were giving her advice, because that's the road I followed and couldn't be happier. I went with the Ego starter kit from Nashville and the juices and clearomizers from Sweetvapes. Started with their traditional tobacco and Mocha flavors on a 70/30 mix with 12 mg. Everyones post on JQ's thread made my first experience perfect. As for that first drag on my new toy, it went like this. I was smoking my good ole Marborro Ultra light while getting everything ready (charging batts and loading juice). When I took my first drag on my ego, all I can say is, I just started laughing. It was exactly the same. It felt the same. Same draw resistance, same hit, same amount of smoke except it smelled and tasted better and I was sitting in my favorite chair and not outside in the cold. I was just beside myself that it worked so well. My, as you guys say, analogs went to the frig for storage and I suspect thats where they will stay. I have not had the urge to get them out at all since making the switch. Okay, now for my list of new questions. As I said above, my experience so far is limited to the two flavors mentioned and the 70/30 mix at 12 mg. What I am interested in is the relationship of the PG/VG mix and nicotine levels. One more bit of info, I was not a real heavy smoker. Pack a day of ultra lights. I've been on my ecig for three days now and have only gone through about 1.5ml of juice. Still on my original battery charge. -First question. After a few hours, my throat feels a little sensative to the hits and feels like it would if I were smoking way too much. Is that a normal thing and will it subside or stay with me. Would a different PG/VG ratio, say 50/50, make it better? Second question. When I first turn on my ego and take my first drag, I hear a popping sound. Is that the batt connection or something else making the noise. Third question. I went with the 12 mg juice because all were saying the ultra-lights were equivilant to 6 mg juice. Really didn't seem that way to me. After a few hours the second day, I could tell I was getting a lot less nicotine than normal. Does that match with everyone else's experience? Once again, thanks for all the info to get me started. I think the analogs are definitely a thing of the past. Jetson
