Thanks for all the replies. As a test for myself, to see if I could get by with vaping, I got a disposable ecig from luci.com, ($2.50 + S&H with code luci10) tastes like cheapest thing you can buy in gas station, but does have *some kind* of tobacco flavor..good throat feel and seems to be alright on vapor production. Just hope it lasts til the real deal arrives....I do have a couple regular smokes just in case, but would rather not touch them.
I know everyone suggested ego...but I went with the 510 starter from vaporgalaxy.com - not a heavy smoker by any means, so the 2 batts should easily last me a full day, and my budgets tight as is - if I'm still vaping after xmas this year, I may get an ego or mod for when I'm not out and about.
Went ahead and got 5 pack of cartos, a drip tip, 2 bottles of liquid ( virginia tobacco, and clove). probably pick up more cartos, and a couple other flavors.(thinking coffee...and no clue what else yet, nothing with heavy fruit flavor).
