I did the same thing when I started. It seemed a high nic level (24) and menthol helped me out more. Menthol gives a real full body flavor and sometimes seems to produce a little more vapor. I actually got into some tobacco much later around the 6 month mark. I smoked Marlboros forever and never really strayed away from that. When I started to vape I had to change my flavors with each refill with a different flavor always. One of the big famous juices is AVE Bobas Bounty and Gorilla Juice. They are all VG juices and produce huge amount of vapor. People either love it or hate it with those two. MrsTBakery does some excellent juices as well but she does a ton of flavors and her bakery stuff is top notch. If you can find The Standard line like Frankenvape & Cell Block 4 are incredible but pricey e liquid. A friend of mine in Montana does some really good stuff called Hellavapor and his mint chocolate is very good. Mr Good Vape I hear excellent things about and Good Life Vaper is really good at making fruity type of flavors. No I did not put my site in there either in case some people were wondering.

I think the Evod is a good starter kit but it is known to leak a bit. Still one of the better options for someone new and its around $25-$50 depending on who has the better deal out there. Its a bottom coil cartomizer and it produces excellent vapor production and large amount of flavor. The coil sits on the bottom so you dont have to worry too much about it wicking well. The cartomizers themselves are under ten bucks and when the flavor starts to get muted. Just use a replacement atomizer that are usually sold in blister packs for around $8. Just stick with name brands like Smoktek, Joyetech and Kanger. Not to say you might not run into a problem down the line but then again most of the stuff is made in China.


Here some batteries that are decent but look around:

Here is the Kanger Evod cartomizer:

Now here is the replacements heads. Each one lasted a week for me but I also washed mine under running hot water and did some dry burns to clean the coils. I could get almost 2-3 weeks out of one but that also depends on the juice you use.

Feel free to check around yourself for better prices as well.

So, I've been using an e-cig for a little over a couple weeks and Jesus it's a piece of shit. My wife got them for us over a year ago, and I finally decided to quit. I wasn't a big smoker anyway, 1 to 2 packs a week. A pipe bowl or a cigar too. I say 1 or 2 packs, but I rolled my own unfiltered cigarettes from perique tobacco I ordered from Louisiana.

I've quit the real stuff, but I would definitely like to upgrade. I'm looking atthis. I'm hopping that giant battery will give me the hit I'm accustomed to. They also have a perique juice that I look forward to trying.

Any thoughts on the company/ website or the pipe? It seems like everyone sells the same 3 e-pipes, and that's the best price I've found.

edit: Well it says 601-C, but pictures the 618. I want the tank 618 not the cart 601-C. I dunno.

Not bad starter kit let us know how you like it. The Vision spinners aren't bad and pretty comparable to the other big companies out there.

Tea big battery is not going to give you more of a hit. The only way to do that is a rebuildable atomiser and coil a wick or two under 1 ohm. Running low ohms makes the coils glow brighter and hotter faster than higher ohms. Some like to wrap two or more wicks too. High VG juice will produce much more vapor as well. The trade off is the taste is a little muted. If you enjoy good tobacco vapes check out Heather's Heavenly Vapes she has some outstanding tobacco flavors that are made from extracted tobacco. The Legend is her big selling juice but they are all very good. Also make sure your starting with the highest nic strength as well. If you just stopped smoking you should be around 24 mg.

Thanks, I need to do more research.

24 mg has not been nearly enough, nor my friends 32 mg. Like I said I only smoked 4-5 cigarettes a day, but they were potent. I'm adapting, but I miss that big rush a couple times a day vs. the steady trickle that I get from 24s. For comparison's sake, imagine smoking 3 unfiltered camels at the same time. It looks like I'd have to brew my own to replicate that, but it's probably better if I don't.

Edit: There are only a handful of people who smoke pure perique from a pipe. No one rolls it into a fucking cigarette. I fully accept my obnoxious habit will not translate into vaping.

Its a 618 according to the pictures, I just picked mine up as a new vape shop opened up near work and I was checking it out and boom- there it was sitting there... so impulse indeed I bought it- they had it listed as 70$ I asked if they could do better and they said 5$ off... I was like ehh...can u throw in a juice? said either or- their juice is 13$ so I did the free juice- got 0mg nic Caremel- I should have done a sweeter one, but its not bad.

I just atm use it at work, while playing on the comp and doing the various things I need to do- it leaked out the tank some during the weekend- but I had it at an odd angel- I need to get an actual little pipe holder.

The 618 is plastic, the 601 was actually wood (from the reviews I read)- the 601 was more of a modded actual pipe while this one is made for its purpose. It has 2 batteries and a charger and 2 tanks and 2 mouthpeices. To me, it puts out good vape- but again I am not a smoker or huge vapor person- I enjoy the flavor and shit- I mostly play with the pipe as I am ADD or something and need to "fiddle" with shit while I do desk work.

I found the 618 from china for like 45$ shipped, but when I saw it actually in the store I just bought it rather than having to wait. I think other than the 601 and 618 the King Epipe is the only other, unless you go to ones that look more like crack pipes than tabbacco pipes. If you want the link to the china shop let me know- and note I am in no way affiliated with the shop etc etc bla bla

Still going strong, not one smoke since i quit (see OP) I find myself not even vaping that much anymore. Maybe a few times a day, mostly in the evening when playing games or fucking around on the comp.

Excellent find, The Lancet no less! Thank you posting it, E

I wish it was a Cochrane meta analysis though. One could base treatment and recommendation on it - evidence based medicine if you will. A single short term Follow Up study is not really the gold standard of science. I'm guessing you know this. Regardless, it's a step in the right direction. I hope it gets complimented with none to little long term damage of the nicotine cessation products, e-cigs. That would be nothing short of superb. I hope we get there, I truly do.

In the mean time, tell me more about how it's going for you guys here. All I see so far are nicotine uptake refinement stories - reminiscent of drug abusers. Not many 'I'm a lean, mean and CLEAN machine'. Sad panda

Jesus, I read through the rest of the read. Your posts are horrible - not so much for content but in your heinous tone.

I have no desire to be clean. I've given up my cigarette addiction while keeping my modest pipe addiction, and have elected not to go digital at this time. I do my best thinking either smoking a pipe or taking a shower. I'm not going to give that up.

I don't know a goddamn thing about medical research. I just wanted to kick off a 10 page assburgers shit flinging contest. My apologies to mkopec

Take a look at the thread title. Read it out loud. Then go look up the word irony

I look forward to your insight on the subject of this thread, quitting and e-cigs. If you're not using either, have an opinion on them, then what are you doing in this thread? Just curious.

That's cool. I said I was impressed with your article find and gave feedback. Was not my intention to start a shit war, really.
