| Yeah, an eGo kit is a great start. I would recommend another eGo-style mod, but I haven't tried it myself yet. I'm familiar with the merchant, as I got my Jazz via him and I love this thing. So, I believe he's reputable enough to take a chance on it. I have one coming in the mail, and I plan on reviewing it. If nothing else maybe give it a look-see. It's called the "14500 NoEgo" (I think it's still a working name) Jazz cartopipe E-pipe the first Cartopipe cartomizer pipe gatechlv.

| After that, you'd just need to get a few Protected Trustfire 14500 Battery, 900 mAH or Ultrafire Flat-Top Protected 14650 Battery, 1300 mAH, cartomizers or atomizers, maybe a drip tip (which should only be $1 or $2 each), and juice.
The initial investment is a little high to get serious, but you'll be glad you did if you find yourself enjoying it. In terms of juice, newbies should probably buy juice that contains 6mg-12mg of nicotine per ml. Juice that costs around $1 per ml is expensive. Good juice for a good price should be around $0.65 per ml to $0.80 per ml.

| Yeah, they aren't much like a regular cigarette. Nothing tastes like burning trash except burning trash. Once you get used to them, though, they taste quite a bit better. You can get just about any flavor you can think of: Camel, Pipe, Cigar, Chocolate, Lemon, Cherry, Butter Rum, Tequila, Almond-Mocha-Ripple-Choco-Chip-Mint, German Chocolate Cake, Waffles and Syrup, Mountain Dew, Coke, even Bacon or Teriyaki Chicken (seriously).
You can adjust the nicotine level anywhere between zero and lethal, with a high degree of accuracy. This allows you to get the right amount of nicotine that will help you stop smoking (if that's what you want). It also lets you gradually step down to zero nic one day, when you decide to stop vaping. You can reduce it in increments that you won't be able to notice, unlike the 3 or 4 big steps with traditional nic replacement therapies.
Oh, and you can save a lot of money, if you are a heavy smoker. |

I'll just go without until I can get back in. That's the beauty of PVs. You can quit them if you have to and not go bat-shit crazy! Well, that does kind of depend on your nicotine dosage. If you are used to 6-8mg per ml like me, it's cake. If you're used to 24mg per ml... you may have troubles letting go.

| I'm young, but I've been smoking for about four or five years and I don't feel at all addicted to nicotine.
I definitely enjoy it though. |

I definitely enjoy it though. | Well, if you're wanting to quit nicotine at some point, but enjoy vaping for the fun of it, you can easily purchase 0mg nicotine juice. Not all juices can be made into 0mg juice. For instance, most organic tobacco flavors are steeped in tobacco leaves. You can only dilute the nicotine so much with propylene glycol (PG) and/or vegetable glycerin (VG), so there's likely going to be a small amount of nicotine. But there aren't a lot of organic tobacco flavors out there. Quote:

| I bet a person could use one of those until the electronics package fragged(there's a lot of that going on) then gut the center section and put a simple switch into it and continue to march.. hmmm

I already have a very low nic intake, and what I smoke, I do so for the flavors, not necessarily the nic. (I know, the first step is admitting you have a problem...) |

| Hi, my name is quasimod, and I'm a serial vapathreadjackaholic. It has been 2 minutes since my last vape, and 1 day since my last threadjack. I think it's caused by my GRADD (Google-Related Attention Deficit Disorder). I made that syndrome up, like I believe lots of other supposed "syndromes" are made up. I mean, "sexaholic", wtf? Just 'cause yer an asshole doesn't make you an addict. I don't get it. It's like famous people go to rehab like rich people used to buy "indulgences" from the Catholic Church. So they go to some rehab and are washed clean of their sins, now I'm like a "victim" of some disease, worthy of sympathy, but I can still be a congressman. It's a load of crap. People will believe anything.
Wait, what were we talking about? |

| It WAS about carts or cartos for a "21st Century Smoke" product, which in turn, tastes like Tahoe cigarettes. Or cardboard and dog piss. Thank God I only paid 9.99 for the disposable one, and only got it for the vape experience since I've never tried it and I can't wait for my first order to get here. I can only assume this is bottom of the barrel quality due to the low price point, lack of choices, and odd, vague, incompatibility with other replacements. At $23 for the "starter kit", I'd dare bet there's quite a bit better kits out there for just $10 to $15 more. |

LMAO!!! Sorry, just kidding. Couldn't resist though.
Yes, at $23 a kit, there are much better ones for around that price. |
