This is to help people like me.. Here I am providing all the details of my experience..hope it will be of some use for you. Start: I was desperately looking to quit smoking..I used to smoke 10 cigarettes (Kings) per day. Previously I tried many times. It only used to last for few days..
Once..way back in 2008, I was able to hold for 45 days..that is the highest. I decided that this way it is not possible to quit, I have to try some other means.. Electronic Cigarette; I came across this around 4 months back. One of my colleague from Delhi was using it.
I inquired about it and got the details. But, I was afraid to use it.. I was afraid that It was not tested and at same time I read about some issues with low cost products imported from China to US and FDA fuss around it.
Later, I used to read about electronic cigarettes, their reviews, etc on internet at times when I was free in office. I slowly gained confidence with number of users increasing..
At last on Nov 2011, I purchased some unbranded (it did not had any name on it). I got following:
- electronic cigarette-4 small pipe kind of things
electronic cigarette had following parts:
1) battery.
2) heater (called as atomizer).
3) small pipe (size of cigarette filter) with some sponge type stuff in it (called as cartridge). After observing closely, I took my first drag!
Light at front of battery lighted up and I was able to hear the sound inside cigarette...oh! I was able to get small amounts of smoke.. With excitement, I started taking puff after puff..after 7-8 puffs, I realized that something has heated up..I was about to feel the heat..
I observed closely to find that heater part is getting hotter drag after drag..So I kept is aside..within two days I figures out these problems with the cigarettes heating up- strong urge for drinking lot of water- need to change cartridge I searched for solution on the internet..nothing..I got no solution to rectify these problems..they exist with many low cost electronic cigarettes..
I decided to buy electronic cigarette that is highly valued, with strong brand name with global users base I zeroed in on Joyetech product.
I searched for it and came across this website https://ecgindia.com. I knew that joyetech does not come with e-liquid in it.
But, to my surprise, this guy offered one eliquid bottle free with the kit that too branded eliquid. Price was on higher side when compared to some of the other available electronic cigarette..But, I was ready to shell out the money as it was big brand and price was lower that its price US websites.
I ordered it making preorder bank transfer and excitedly waited for it. Within two days, I had the product in hand..Oh!.. By my first look, I realised that this product is of high quality. Packing, certificate seals, name on the product all look of standard quality. I got following things:
1) Two electronic cigarette
2) five cartridges ( I observed that it is very different than my earlier one..this one instead of sponge like thing had a small tank like system.without any thing inside.)
3) Manual
4) USB charger + wall plug
5) one cloth holder. Additionally I got one eliquid bottle, zero nicotine one. I filled one cartridge with the liquid as guided by helpdesk/videos in YouTube. And fixed it. It has a small button, which we should hold and drag. first drag..I got lots and lots of smoke..
It was really good. I took 14-17 puffs.. there was no heating up. I thoroughly enjoyed puffing it. following are positive things I observed:
1) Very good quality of the product.
2) Lots of smoke..feels like real cigarette.
3) No frequent refilling & charging.
4) lot of support from internet. (there is lot of information about this model on internet) Negative: Looks little odd I think I have made right decision by purchasing this product.
I am using it completely now without any alternative.
