You can keep it simple, or turn it into a full blown hobby/addiction all unto itself.

I've been on both ends. I'm somewhere in the middle.. I have 3 higher end devices, and use rebuildable atomizers and shit. Find what works for you, man. A year later, and I'm glad I made the switch.

Just to try it out, I bought a starter pack of the blu E-cigs. Obviously they're the highest profiled, and really were the first off the line. Plus the black pipe, plus Miami neon blue end is kinda cool.

Tried it out for the first time this morning on the way to school for the nic boost, after an all fucking nighter work-wise (don't even ask, ugh, Law classes) and I gotta say it's one of the most odd/interesting experiences of my life. First off, I hope that the blu's are not representative of all vaping. There's not even close to the amount of tobacco flavor that there is in a cigarette, but especially say a Marlboro Red or my Little Cigars. On first try, I miss that big tobacco flavor. The nicotine is fine, but they're not all that flavorful tbh.

I was using the Classic Tobacco starter kit, although it's not a bad flavor, it's definitely not a regular cigarette. On the way home, I decided to stop into a gas station and see if they had any additional flavor packs. They did, and I picked by one of their Vivid Vanilla packs. As soon as I open these things, you can smell this delicious vanilla smell, almost like that delicious French Vanilla coffee taste that a good Cigar can have. My taste buds immediately perked up.

I take off the Classic Tobacco, and throw on the Vanilla. Now although it still isn't a strong tobacco flavor, these things were FAR MORE enjoyable, and tasty.

In the end though, I can't help but to again say... what's the point? Without the lack of a realistic tobacco flavor, which is why I like smoking, not so much the nicotine. You need something that closely resembles that, plus the interesting flavors. The weird thing, as someone who has smoked from regular fire, as well as the steam from a bong, e-cigs are neither. It tastes and feels like stage smoke, honestly. If you've ever inhaled stage smoke, it's almost identical, which leaves it weird.

I'm not downing it, it's just a first day. BUT, in the end what is the point without a real tobacco flavor? Exactly how I used them. In the morning, or in mixed company with poor sleep, stress, downing sedative drugs or too much booze... these e-cigs are a great way for an electronic, low-risk, easily chargable and renewable, cheaper way to have a completely odorless nicotine fix when you need them without the distraction or bad smell that turns people off.

Blus didn't cut it for me.. neither did tobacco flavors..

Lately I've been on a tobacco flavor kick... but GOOD juices.. that taste like tobacco with other accents... Not necessarily like smoking a cigarette.

I found early on that the pre filled cartridge nonsense is for the birds. It may be a gateway.. but it is only that.

Drop a few bucks on a few things: http://www.youvape.com/Innokin-itaste-V … p_192.html

or if you can wait a few weeks: http://www.fasttech.com/products/1/1000 … -vw-800mah

or the big boy.. which I've been rockin' for over a year: http://www.fasttech.com/product/1390901 … oltage-apv

Those are great devices. adjustable, sexy, and reliable as fuck. The MVP is my JAM. It comes with a decent tank for juice as well. They charge via mini USB, and you can use 'em while they charge.

The VV doesn't.. So if you go with that... I suggest this:http://www.surevapes.com/Kanger-eVod-Bo … p_361.html

They're (evods) awesome to start out with.. plus.. after a week or two, the coil heads (the atomizer) will start to get kinda wonky, and you can purchase replacements: http://www.discountvapers.com/kanger-pr … -2-2-ohms/

Orrr.. They can be rebuilt. But that's a down the road, you ain't so new thing.

The replacement heads for the tanks that come with the MVP are here:http://www.smartvapes.com/product-p/icl … Click=3293

Now... Juice.

There are a million places to get juice.... the shit you see at convenience stores is homeless guy pubes compared to the juices stocked @ Giant Vapes. http://r.sloyalty.com/r/tnM0JRXs4xWp

But definitely look around... A good starter juice company is http://www.mtbakervapor.com/ They are priced nicely, and offer a staggering selection.
Look around the internet.. Specifically YouTube, for reviews... Keep in mind, taste is subjective. In fact.. Almost everything I learned about vaping came from YouTube, Utilize that shit.

With the right stuff.. This vaping shit works, man. And if you ever have any questions.. Lemme know. (This goes for all of you)

Blu may be the highest profile, but they're light years behind what's actually going on in the vape community.
