electronic smokes

I've been using e-cigs for quite a while now, and found a web-site that is excellent: www.totallywicked-eliquid.com

I've done a LOT of research on this site, and tried quite a few of their products, both devices (several systems too) and e-liquids. MY findings:

They carry everything you could possibly want or need in e-cigs (called "vaping", as you'll be inhaling the vapor). I prefer to use devices which WORK THE BEST; I don't
care if they look like a cigarette, I just want them to be simple to use and durable. I've also found the different devices are just that: different. Some give rich flavor and vapor,
some are weaker; some make a warm-to-hot vapor, some are cooler. Some are cheap and some are a bit expensive (ya get what ya pay for IMO), but compared to $60+ a week
for cigarettes? I'll save well over $1K this year.

MY preference? I like the "variable voltage" devices. You can set the amount of power flowing into the heating element, thus controlling the amount (and temp.) of vapor you get
and the battery use you'll get before it needs recharging (yes, they have cig-lighter adapters, as well as USB - they even have one called a USB-passthrough, which you can use
while plugged in and charging!). I also like the RCS tanks (see below) for durability and no-leak issues. For fluids, I've put quite a bit below.

Some notes:

- There are several different delivery systems. If you go to the site, you'll see what I mean. Previously referenced are the "tank" type systems
(like totally wicked's "Tornado eGo-C" and its variants). Also, batteries range from fairly small (like the eGo-c 650mAh or 1000mAh manual batteries) to the
to fairly large (like the Vape-Pro variable voltage device 2600 or 3400mAh, which will last all day - NOW YOU'RE COOKIN'!).

- IMO, the RCS (Replacement Coil System) systems are the best. They're typically a small to large tank (anywhere from 1-3ml usually, up to 6ml!) with a wick or coil system ("atomizer") in them,
which draws the liquid from the tank up to the heating element. The heating element then atomizes the liquid, producing a vapor which you inhale. These are simple to use: Fill the RCS tank
with your favorite e-liquid (see notes on-site for priming if needed!), screw it onto your battery system, push the button on the battery (which energizes the heating element), inhale
and enjoy!

- There are a TON of different flavors of e-liquids, and in several nicotine strengths. Everything from numerous tobacco flavors (my pref. is gold virgin, but like tropical tobacco too), coffee/mochas,
chocolate, cola, every type of fruit you can imagine (and mixers thereof), and on and on - they even have Red Bull (a popular taste, but I'm not a fan personally).

- I prefer to mix up my own e-liquids. Using nicotine solution (CAUTION: liquid nicotine is HIGHLY poisonous, so handle carefully and store it so no one else can get at it!) , flavor concentrate, and
a diluent (not to worry: they have simple to follow mixing instructions), in 10 minutes or so I mix up a few flavors that'll last me a week. This way, I can mix up the flavors I like (I have several favorites)
for about $100 for a couple months. I can also change the nicotine strength very easily: just put more/less nicotine juice in the mix. Compare to a carton of cigarettes a week!


No matter which you choose, tanks or cartomizers, pre-mixed or mix-your-own liquid, I'd bet a dollar to a hole-in-a-doughnut you WILL find a device and not one but several flavors you'll like.
And don't be afraid to experiment: I was shocked to find that my favorite flavor is mango! I started off with the coffees and tobaccos, but ordered some kind of lemon-anise stuff by accident.
I tried it once, and I've been checking out all the fruit flavors ever since: some I like, some I can't stand, but the variety of those I DO like is unbelievable.

Go on, check it out for yourself. If you wanna quit the analogs (stink-sticks - I smoked for over 35 years!), explore the world of Vaping. THIS IS WHAT WORKS for me, and I ENJOY IT!

PS. I AM NOT an agent or salesman for any company or whatever, only a user of these products and the totally wicked stuff. IF you hurt or kill yourself cuz you drink the nicotine juice, or blow yourself up
re-charging the lithium-ion battery, don't blame me. The way I see it, you were too, ummm (fill in nice way to say stupid here), to live much longer anyway; something would've taken you out (its called Natural
Selection) soon, and if not the cigarettes almost definitely will painfully kill you sooner or later anyway.

 

i've been using ecigs for 8 months now and haven't had a smoke for 7 and a half months. i reckon they're fantastic. recommend them to anyone, but not the cigarette looking disposable ones. the battery life and cartridges with them are pretty woeful. if anyone is interested, i'd suggest jumping on a forum for ecigs. loads of great info out there. like dezzmoi says, there's lots of different sorts and it's a matter of trying til you find what's right for you. the amount of choice can be bewildering to start of with, which is why i suggest a forum. one u.s. one i know is e-cigarette-forum. i personally go on an aussie one and am so glad for it. just the same as i'm thrilled to bits to have found this forum. i am learning soooooooooo much!!!

 

oh, by the way, i'm currently using an evic with a vapeonly bcc, vaping passionfruit flavoured liquid that i got from a local aussie vendor and mixed with nicotine liquid i had to import from over there cos it's illegal to sell here :/
