Getting Started with an Electronic Cigarette
When you open your electronic cigarette package, you’ll find one M401 automatic battery, one M401 manual battery, one M402 automatic battery and two M series atomizers. The M40X series of batteries are interchangeable with all other M series products. The difference between the M401, M402 and M403 batteries is the length of the battery. This is not a standard electronic cigarette package. It’s a custom personal vaporizer package that I put together for you.
When you lift the top of the package off, you’ll see an instruction manual and two boxes. One box has your USB charger, which can be connected to your computer. Or, you can connect it to the wall charger that comes in the same box.
The second box has five Marlboro high strength cartridges, which are standard for new e-cig packages.
I also got you an e-cig case, 4 boxes of menthol cartridges, (5 cartridges in each box,) 15 blank cartridges with no liquid, a 50ml bottle of 16mg nicotine strength menthol liquid for filling and refilling your carts and some menthol crystals, in case you decide that the flavoring is not strong enough. And I sent you an additional charger, so you can charge 2 batteries at the same time. We chain smoke and chances are, you will chain vape, so having batteries ready to go is a must.
The Short Instructions
Your atomizer comes with an empty cover on it. Take the cover off and put a cartridge from one of the boxes on it. Put it to the side and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before use. Always do this with new atomizers.
The manual battery is fully charged, so that you can start vaping immediately, (you smoke cigarettes, you vape electronic cigarettes.) The manual battery is the one with the button on it. The battery will only work when you press down on the button. The other two batteries will work whenever you inhale through the mouthpiece/cartridge. This is the difference between manual and automatic electronic cigarette batteries.
Screw the atomizer into the battery. Put a menthol cart on the atomizer. Put the cart end of the cigarette into your mouth. Press the button and inhale. Let go of the button.
You’ll see the other end of the e-cig light up with a blue light. This indicates the battery is active.
You’ve done this right if you exhale vapor. If no vapor or very little vapor comes out press the button for a longer period of time as you inhale.
You need to start charging your automatic batteries. They need to be charged for a minimum of 4-5 hours each. (I’ve heard some people say they need to be charged for 12 hours the first time, but I didn’t and you probably won’t either.)
The Taste
Atomizers are shipped with humectant to keep them from drying out. It is universally regarded as foul tasting and nasty. On average, it will take 2 days to get the taste out of your atomizer and this is often referred to as the atomizer break-in period.
Many people report that their taste buds come back after vaping. So don’t be surprised if you start tasting (and smelling,) things again.
Electronic cigarette liquid comes in a variety of flavors. You know I’ve smoked menthol for 30 years. Camel and Chocolate are my favorite non-menthol flavors and I also like Havana Cigar flavor.
Expect to start cleaning your teeth more often. I actually could taste it when I didn’t brush first thing in the morning.
How to Inhale
With an e-cig you use light, long drags. When people see videos of electronic cigarette users, they often comment that the person obviously doesn’t know how to smoke. Well, they are not smoking, they are vaping. Vaping is different and the way you inhale is different. It took all of 5 minutes before it became a natural way to inhale.
Differences between Analog and Electric
Besides the obvious difference of sucking in 4,000 chemicals and 40 carcinogens with cigarettes and between 4-20 ingredients with electronic cigarettes, there are other differences.
E-cigs are heavier with the most weight being at the battery end. Your hold will have to change to accommodate the weight. Instead of holding it between two fingers, you might find you use more fingers on top and have your thumb on the bottom for a better balance.
Most of the time, we have a cigarette in our mouths. If you do this with an electronic cigarette, expect to drool. There is no filter to absorb it.
There is usually no odor with an electronic cigarette. One person reported that their daughter smelled marshmallows.
You don’t have to worry about burning your clothes.
You can smoke in bed. BUT, just like smoking a real cigarette, you should never fall asleep with an electric cigarette.
Smoking and Vaping
I used up what was left of my cigarettes and smoked about 4 a day, two in the morning and two at night, until I was out. Since we chain smoke, you may need a higher strength of nicotine to offset what you’re used to taking in.
Since I was using electronic cigarettes to replace smoking and not to quit smoking, a few cigarettes a day did not make me worry.
