Electronic Cigarettes

Just as I was really starting to get nervious about running out of juice and prefilled cartridges from my initial starter kit the mail man came by with my package from Totally Wicked yesterday.

Inside where 2 Titan Tornado batteries, one 30ML bottle of 36mg Super High Strength State Express flavored Eliquid, and one 30ml bottle of 18mg State Express.

I quickly screwed the Tornado charging adapter into my 510 charger and inserted one of the Tornados to top off it’s factor charge. Next, time to drip some of the freshly arrived “State Express”. Whoah! I missed this stuff. The 18MG is the perfect strength for me and I’ve got the Super High Strength for backup during any serious withdrawls. The 30ml bottles seem giant compared to the ones I have been using the past week.

A couple hours later the manual battery I was using went dead and it was time to try out the first Tornado battery (hurray!). I noticed a huge increase in vapor and flavor quality on the first puff. Normally my 510 would start to fall off after 10-15 puffs, but the Tornado Batteries seem to go strong for hours and hours. The first one lasted for at least 8 hours of almost constant use.

The performance of the tornado battery using my 510 atomizer is awesome. It provides constant reliable power that would likely last most people the entire day. There is no drop in performance even after what seems like a few hundred vapes.

After a few days of not having one standard cigarette I decided to recommend electronic cigarettes to one of my friends who has also smoked since high school. I told him to skip the cheaper, easier to find products and go directly to totally wicked to review what I consider all of the products.

I explained how happy I was with the Titan 510 and went into detail about how it had exceeded all of my expectations. A few days later he had also decided to purchase a Titan 510 and wanted to make sure that I was still happy with the unit that I purchased. I let him know that everything was great except that I was witching hour batteries often and that he should order several additional batteries with a starter kit.

Taking my advice into consideration, my friend decided to purchase the Titan Tornado because many users had reported these batteries last all day. A few days later his package arrived and he quickly jumped on Skype to tell me about his great experiences with his Tornado. Right when I was forced to change out batteries he said that his battery had lasted all evening on a single charge (it was pretty late at night when we were having this discussion).

One great thing for me about the tornado is that it is based on the 510 atomizer. I’m going to order a couple of the Tornado batteries from Totally Wicked, along with the adapter that will allow them to charge on the Titan 510 battery charger I already use. Hopefully this will all work like I think it will.

Totally Wicked charged me $49.97 for 2 Titan Tornado Batteries, the adapter, plus shipping. I’ll put up a new post once they arrive and I’ve had a chance to use them.

The Wicked E-Liquid 36MG Super High Apple was the first flavor I tried after receiving my first electronic cigarette and juice sampler pack yesterday afternoon. I have to tell you this eliquid make me break a sweat and need to bring the fan into the office. It has a chemically taste, but also very much like an apple jolly rancher. The vapor is extremely heavy on this compared to the prefilled carts that came included in the Titan 510 kit. I felt like I needed time out to recover from this one.

I refilled the cart with 18MG strength Cherry after about an hour of vaping on the Apple. 18MG is much smoother and no heat flashes or ear drum thumping. The cherry reminds me of how pipe smoke smells. It’s a really great flavor and I’ll reorder this. I’m going to leave the 36MG strength cherry in the box for now.

Time for the 18MG strength French Pipe. This really tastes like I’m smoking expensive tobacco. After only having 1 real cigarette so far today I can feel this ejuice really satisfying my craving to light one up. Must get more of this one.

Last but not least, State Express in 18MG strength. This one is my favorite. It has a unique flavor all to it’s own. It does remind me of a cigarette flavor, but in too many ways to describe it’s infinitely better.

Because this is one of the first flavors of nicotine juice I’ve tried I don’t really think I’ve any authority to issue any formal ratings (besides there are enough people doing a great job with that). I will say all the flavors I tried were awesome, but 36MG is definitely too strong for me.

The 510 is getting broke in nicely now. It is putting out huge plumes of vapor and exceeding all my expectations. The battery life is great and everything works like it should (or better).

After another evening of watching electronic cigarette reviews and video blogs on YouTube I’ve decided to order an assortment of flavors before my Titan 510 arrives.

Why stock up on juice before I even use the thing? Mainly because I’m a guy who likes to test variables plus most people said the tobacco flavor cartridges were not that enjoyable. I want to have the best experience possible with this device so that I feel like I really get the best experience and perhaps it can lend to my goal to quit smoking analog cigarettes some day.

I went with their 5 pack of 5ML sizes and selected these flavors:

• 5ML Totally Wicked E-Liquid.: 36MG – Super High, Apple
• 5ML Totally Wicked E-Liquid.: 18MG-High, cherry
• 5ML Totally Wicked E-Liquid.: 36MG – Super High, cherry
• 5ML Totally Wicked E-Liquid.: 18MG-High, french pipe
• 5ML Totally Wicked E-Liquid.: 18MG-High, state express

The total order with shipping was $38.98. This seems a bit higher than most other places I’ve checked, and much higher than buying in bigger volume from TotallyWicked. I don’t want to end up with a giant bottle of something I don’t enjoy, so I’m hoping the smaller sizes are a good way to sample a few flavors until I find one I can invest more money in.

I’m largely ignoring price to go with a reliable high quality user experience and the reviews for TotallyWicked’s juices on forums all over the internet are great (plus I’ve already got my billing account and other shipments in process so i’m logging in everyday, why not stick with one place right?)

A few days ago I planned a housewarming party for a friend of mine that had moved back into town for a job at a local Internet company. While listening to one of the other guests play guitar I noticed a bright blue light followed by what looked like a big cloud of smoke from a person also standing in the same room. After seeing this light flash on and off a few times I had to ask the guy was on earth he was using.

He described to me that he had purchased this electronic cigarette online to use while working his hospital job and that it really worked well. He even said that he would frequently use the device while walking down the hallway at the hospital. I noticed his electronic cigarette did not give off any odor or lasting smoke trail.

Because lately I’ve been avoiding situations where I can’t have a cigarette I decided to jump on Google tonight and search for electronic cigarettes with blue LEDs and try one of them out.

The first search result and site I checked out was called blucigs.com. After looking around for a few minutes I determined this was the electronic cigarette I had seen a few nights earlier. After clicking a few links I was on the order page submitting my credit card details. Right before I submit I decided to google pellucid reviews and see what type of experiences people have had with its product. Nearly all of them were negative reviews.

I decided to jump on YouTube and search the ecigarette reviews. I immediately came across many product reviews, health reports, newscasts, and testimonials from many people who had quit smoking using these products. After literally two or three hours I decided to make my purchase from Totally Wicked ELiquid because most of the reviews were extremely positive, both for product quality and shipping time. Honestly it seems like almost all of these companies are resellers for Chinese manufacturers and it’s worth it to me to pay a little bit more to a company that has a well defined process for shipping and customer service.

I ended up going with the Titan 510 starter Kit (plus one spare 510 manual battery) because of price and many positive reviews on blogs and YouTube. Even experienced electronic cigarette users who have dozens of different devices have good things to say about the 510 when it comes to vapor production, product longevity, taste, and throat hit.

Can’t wait until it arrives.
