• E Cig, Day 1

   

  I received my Joye 510 in the mail today, and I'm pretty impressed!  I was worried I wouldn't be able to feel it when I took a hit, but not anymore.  The first hit, I didn't feel it at all, but I just had to get the hang of it.  Actually, if you're not careful, this thing will choke you!  Two or three times already, I've hit it and started coughing because the hit was so powerful.  My only qualm is that the prefilled cartridges that came with it have no taste whatsoever.  They're supposed to be USA tobacco flavor at 16mg nicotine.  A bit got onto my lips and it had a very sweet taste, but other than that, no taste when I hit it.  I'm not getting discouraged, however, because I was warned that the juice that comes with these things isn't very good.  I'll wait for my order of hickory apple smoke and cappuccino to come in and test those before I get dis hearted with this thing.  I was told bubblegum is fabulous, so apparently, the flavor issue isn't one when you order your own juice.  The batteries don't last very long on these things either, so it's definitely wise to keep a backup so you're not left with a dead cig and the temptation to buy a pack of smokes.  If it wasn't for the lack of flavor with the cartridges that came with the cigs, I probably wouldn't be tempted to smoke at all.  Vapor production is absolutely excellent, and it's easy to feel it going into your lungs.  

  Do I think I can give up cigarettes using these?  Absolutely!  Assuming I can keep one charged and usable and get some good juice, it really shouldn't be hard at all, I think.  I won't lie, I've smoked maybe two cigarettes since getting these things, but only because of the taste issue.  And hey, being a chain smoker, only two cigs really is a big deal for me.  I easily smoked two packs a day or more...definitely more on some days.  Normally, I'd have smoked a pack by now.  Right now, I'm looking for some juice with a strong smoky taste.  That will help lots!

  Anyway, breathing better today than in the past four or five days.  Lung hurts terribly, but at least I am breathing more easily.  I've slept a lot, though.  I stay tired. Appointment with the specialist is April 12th, so not too terribly far off.  Wish me luck!
