High, Yes I am Foster. I am a new member, but I've been reading a bit here and there for a month or so.
I am proud to say I no longer use chewing tobacco or smoke cigs! Being that I have been addicted to both for well over 20 yrs, That is a huge step in the right direction for me.
Probably tried to quit both over a hundred times using meds, patches, gum, lozenges and any other form of nic I could find. Nothing took.
Now... I vape. And I love it! Strange, but within less than a month, just the smell of real cigs bothers me and smoking one or being in an enclosed area with smokers brings on an instant headache.
I started using the disposable type e-cigs (blu,njoy,greenspirit,cig2O etc..) but found that I was killing batteries or getting duds half the time. Some with dead batts right from the first puff.
Being an electronics tech, I couldn't help but dismantle every one to see just what was going on inside. lol
What I was finding was dead batteries with plenty of e-liquid still in the filler material.
That's when I realized... There has to be a better way to go. Disposables at $10 a piece were sucking my wallet dry and not able to fullfill my need for nicotine.
I currently use a Cig2O kit. I have 2 batteries with usb chargers and one wall charger that broke the first time I used it. It left the prongs in the socket it was plugged in when I removed it from the outlet. Junk!
After some reading I believe theses cartomizers are the 808's? I need to find a good source for quality blanks.
I have been re-filling my old carto's with an e-liquid purchased locally for $10. 12ml-16mg by Imperial Hookah. I would like to DIY or find a better supplier for e-liquid too. Vanilla is my fave so far.
Any suggestions, links, tips, reviews of what you like and don't like (brands/cartos/liquid/batts/etc..) would be appreciated.
