  1. I've found in the week and 1/2 that I've been vaping that my addiction is very much mental. I ordered 3 bottles of 18mg and 1 bottle of 9mg. I prefer the 9mg and would like to cut that down. I used to smoke 1 to 1 1/2 packs of marlboro lights a day. I don't know if I didn't inhale all the way or what. I've smoke for almost 25 years. I know I didn't just play with the cigg. I did find when I would try to quit with patchs or lozenges or gum that my heart would race, I'd be jittery and I'd give up on quitting that way. I'd like to find out how to dilute the juice I have. I'm using the 9 mg the most and sometimes it makes me jittery but I like to vape too much to put it down when I should! I'm trying to use the 18 mg during the day when I can't "chain vape". I ordered a lot of juice and don't seem to be going through it as quickly as I thought. Maybe you can cut back on the nicotine level in one juice bottle but still have a bottle with your higher level and gradually use less of the higher nic level bottle. Just switch to the higher juice when you have a craving for more.
  2. I've only had my Joye 510 for about a week and 1/2. I'm so paranoid about losing it or the extra that I just ordered another set. Just in case. My battery died while I was out one night and I had to buy a pack of ciggs. Yuck! I just ordered every type of charger - car, one that charges w/o being plugged in, one that works with the computer...Big investment but lots cheaper than ciggs in the long run!
  3. I understand the lost income. Fortunately, I'm not the sole breadwinner butn in the last year, I've gone from $50,000 per year to $350 per week unemployement to essentially none... I only got to vape for a while today as the battery went dead (did have a considerable charge!). I did get to play around with a few flavors. Fabulous! I tried Turkish Blend, whatever came with the cartridge, and cappachino from awsome vapors. I loved them all. Things are easier than I tought. It sounds so complicated until you get it in your hands. Then everything makes sense. I was able to change flavors easily from the directions on awesome vapors site. It's very easy to do so I will be able to save money this way by not buying prefilled cartridges. I've only smoked 3 analog ciggs since I got this about noon, today. I only smoked those because I'm waiting for the battery to charge. I already prefer this to smoking. This actually tastes good and doesn't leave a bad taste or smell in your mouth. I don't know if I'm going to have the throat problems, yet. Some people get a dry thoat, I've read. I drink something constantly so may not notice. (not always an adult beverage...I just realized how that sounded, ha, ha). I got the starter kit for the joye 510 and 3 full size bottles of juice + 4 FREE sample bottles (he throws one in with each full size order and with the kit - you even get to choose the flavors!) for $84.00. I don't know how long this will last me, yet. Awesome Vapor replied to my question about how long a bottle lasts with a 16 oz bottle will last a pack a day smoker one to one and a half weeks. That would be $10 a week for a pack a day smoker. The cig components cost about $10 to $13 each, I think. I figure if I spend $50 or even more every 3 months and 10-15 per week...I'm still coming out way ahead. They were extremely helpful and I even had problems ordering because of something bizarre with my debit card - I hadn't used it in forever and it was flagged). They answered all questions and made sure everything only went through my bank once. I would recommend this to any smoker. The potential for $$$ savings are great. It's definitly going to be cheaper than smoking and I can see various ways to be even more frugal with it. I'm sure I wasted enough vapor to fill a cartride or 2 today just playing with it plus the 2 I filled and it's still almost impossible to tell which bottles I used. I'm going to recommend this to all my friends that smoke! Good luck to you and my prayers are with you and your son.
  4. I got the 510 in the mail from Arno, today. He was great! It is great! I'm charging a battery but got curious and found out there was life in the other one so I've been puffing away. I hope it doesn't ruin this battery...we shall see but I couldn't wait... I really like this. This stuff actually tastes good. I have some friends who've been trying to quit for years who've got to give this a try! Thanks to all!
  5. Thank you all very much! I will be calling for the 510 within a few days. This has save me much time and agony!
  6. I researched eciggs quite a bit in Sept and Oct of '09. All it did was confuse me. I need to try something! There are no places in my area (coastal South Carolina) that I can find to actually "try" vaping. I'm 42. Female. Smoked Marlboro Lights since I was about 16. I seem to be more psychologically addicted than physically. I smoke at least 1 pack per day, more if drinking wine in the evening...unless I forget about that first cigg 'till noon. I LOVE to smoke. If I think about it, I have to have a cigg. I don't seem to go through physical withdrawal, though. When in the hospital not too long ago, I took nicotine lozenges and had a problem with heart racing and shaking. They decided it was the lozenges and asked me why I was using them. My O2 stats were too good to be a smoker. Definitly strange considering I'm one of those people who will trek through blizzard or hurricane for my smokes. And I definitly inhale! After my second child was born (I quite smoking with both pregnancies)I was put on antidepressants (zoloft for postpartum depression - but I was in hospital for quite a while and seperated from my baby so even my doctor said it probably wasn't true postpartum depression) and had no desire to smoke. As soon as I managed to get off the weight gaining pills!...I immediatly starting smoking again. My doctor said some smokers self medicate. I'd rather have my nicotine for sanity than those horrible pills! Trade one addiction for another! And vaping sounds like the best bet. I am (of course!) worried about health issues but my main problem is that I don't smoke in the house so I spend a lot of time on my porch - freezing in the winter and fighting our state bird (mosquito) and the heat in the summer. I would love to try an e cigg. I also drive a lot for work and smoke in the car (with the window cracked). There are just so many choices. I want something I can return with in a small amount of time if I hate it. I think I'd like something cigg sized but I've read that isn't really important. I don't know if I want the throat hit, vapor, etc. I'd like to save money in the long run. I'm not all that mechanically minded but I'm not a total idiot. I don't want to build a complex Lego set or mix a difficult chemistry experiment everytime I need a smoke, either. Help!
