Introduce Yourself

[SocialReject]

Well like the title says I just purchased my first E-cig, in the V-Kit Standard. A few people I know have ranted about how good Volcano's products are. As well from the various reviews I've read online as well as on this forum. I've read about the occasional problem with shipping as well as the occasional lemon part. But that happens and is part of life. Granted I hope I don't have any problems with my order or product in general.

I'm really excited about it and can't wait to get it and become a happy vaper!

Hello, I'm a new user to the Volcano's and I have to say they are quite amazing after you get used to them. I'd like to introduce my self to everyone here because I don't just wanna "USE" this product, I wanna be part of its community.

My name is Keith, I'm 19 from Tucson, Arizona and I started smoking analogs when I was 17. I was smoking 3 packs a day for my first few months and cut back to 1 pack a day. Even 1 pack a day is hard to maintain. I saw one of these e-cigs in the mall (A different brand) and obviously didn't buy it because everything is cheaper online, I'm assuming the guy at the kiosk at least doubles his prices to get a higher commission, he wanted 120 dollars for just the e-cig, not even a starter kit.

Anyways, I started looking these up and I found this and Blu. I heard from friends that these were better so I ordered it. In my first four days I was more hooked on this than I was regular cigarettes, I use this at work while I'm cooking, my boss didn't like it at first but I used to take 4-5 smoke breaks in a four hour shift, so she actually prefers it now.

After I went through my carts, I went down to wal-greens and bought a syringe to extract the juice from the old fluff balls, oddly enough it was kind of fun. My desk reminded me of that movie with Tom Cruise where he's in the future and hes addicted to some futuristic drug, so he has all these little pill fob things all over his desk. Lol

The top few things I like about my Volcano -

I'm a vivid world of warcraft player, I'm actually a guild leader and manage 120 people through out the day. We do raids and use a program called ventrilo to talk to each other over headsets while fighting some pretty tough bosses. During these 3-5 hour dungeon runs, I would smoke quite a bit and would have to go outside to do so, taking a 7 minute break 8-10 times in a 5 hour window was a bit stupid... Now I can use this product inside while raiding without ever leaving my desk, no ash, no smell, and I can taste my cold pizza again which is wonderful.

I take quite a few smoke breaks at work as I previously stated. The reason I hate analogs is because I never really wanted to smoke the whole thing, maybe 3-4 hits, but putting them out and relighting them just wasn't the same, so I'd smoke the whole thing unwillingly. With the Volcano I can whip it out, hit it once or twice, and get back on track. That's a wonderful and waste-less feeling.

So I'm glad to be a new addition to your community, there are certantly quite a few threads to scan through, So I'll be quite busy. If anyone wants to help me personally, I am in fact having a bit of trouble getting the max vapor out of stock carts, and also, I only get a few real hits out of a cart before it feels dead, I've tried fluffing and flicking methods, but no luck.

Hey everyone!
My name is September, i'm 21, reside in NC (originally from upstate NY) and I just got my vkit in the mail yesterday! [after only 3 business days too! awesome.] And since I got all charged up and started vaping, I havent touched an analog cigarette yet! Pretty proud of myself. I've been smoking on and off for about 8 years now, have quit a few times, but I always start up again. Im pretty positive I can kick the habit for good with the help of my Volcano!! I was originally going to go with Blu, but after watching youtube videos and researching up on it I found Volcano and decided to go with you guys instead! Way better customer service, and I have yet to find a bad review anywhere on you guys!! Keep up the good work!

So, as a Valentines day gift my girlfriend was going to order me an e-cig. We had decided Blu was in our price range and looked like the right product for me. V-day came and went without us ordering anything due to issues with her bank and having money deposited on time, luckily we waited. I had read all of the horror stories regarding Blu's shipping times and figured we were going to be ordering late enough for that not to matter. Well she got the money and we went to order, they were on back order. So we promply arrived to this wonderful website and purchased the 59.99 starter kit monday morning at 1 am and now we await it's arrival. We received an email confirmation by that afternoon and hopefully they keep to their 3-5 day shipping, I feel I've waited long enough just to get the darn thing ordered! I cant wait to get off of proper cigarettes having smoked for just under 6 years. After about 2 and a half years I was at about a pack a day and have remained so up to now. Seeing as how I'm just coming up on my 21st birthday in a couple months, I figure I'll quit while I'm ahead.

Hey Mr. Wiggles!

I'm new here too (first post), and I gotta tell you, it will be well worth the wait! I was a pack a day smoker for fifteen years, and my fiancee was for twenty. We got our starter kits last week and I haven't had an analog cig since! I had urges to have one for the first couple of days, especially when driving, but even that has gone away completely. My very soon to be wife, on the other hand, decided to dip her toes gently into the pool and step down slowly off of analogs. She has been completely quit for her first full day but is having a rougher time with it since she doesn't want to vape at work.

Volcano has been an absolutely wonderful company with a killer product and a community built up around it that is second to none. In the days between deciding to purchase and their arrival I devoured everything on the forum and was very prepared for what to expect from vaping, what to buy (extra atomizers!) and cool hacks and mods for the units. The folks on this forum are incredible! All of them are very nice, very knowledgeable, and just a great bunch of people.

I absolutely love my Volcano and am looking forward to trying out the Magma sometime next month. I'm also stalking the product pages to see when the PTs will be back in stock!

Welcome, Mr. Wiggles ,and thank you to everyone else here on the forums and at Volcano!

Hey Guys...

I am from New Delhi India, but I moved to Virginia Beach last June so I cud be with my fiance and we got married in October. He works for the Navy and I am currently unemployed, mainly cz the govt has not given me permission to work in this country yet. Back home I worked for American Express as a training manager for their credit card division.

I have been smoking since I was 16 and have tried to quit at least 5 times now but failed miserably. I received my Volcano kit on Saturday and since then I have only smoked 2 analogs. I am extremely pleased with the product and am thankful to everyone at Volcano and here at the forum for helping me out and being so nice and awesome.

Oh and in case anyone cares, I have 2 adorable dogs. Cleopatra is 7 months old now and Edward is 5 months and I looove my puppies.

Thanks
God Bless.

Just got Volcano Deluxe kit and its my first ecig!

So glad I decided to get it... im loving it! A few friends tried Blu, but after doing a little research I decided to go with Volcano and I like it a lot better than my friends Blu... Im getting them to switch to Volcano!

I used to smoke about 25-30 analogs a day and today, the first day of having my ecig, I only smoked 6 or 7! I just ordered some new flavors and another vaporizer so I can keep one ecig in my car and another with me a home and in the office. LOVE IT!

Hi all!

I kinda already did an intro for myself in my first post in tips, then I found this and thought it was a great idea. I love this forum! Already recieved a warm welcome from Bob and Mustang (sorry guys if some of this is redundent) ~ thank you!

Here goes, me in a nut shell:
My name is Nicole. I'm from upstate NY near Saratoga where we're barely allowd to smoke in our own homes and packs are almost $8.00 and they're ready to add another buck! Hoping to not have to worry about that for much longer I currently smoke at least a pack of Winston's per day and have done so for 15 years. I've never been ready to try to quit before due to the tactile addiction, but I ordered a deluxe kit on Tuesday and am waiting (not very patiently) for it to arrive. I'm finally ready to quit smoking and start vaping! And modding. Going with the blue foam since we already have it for our fish tanks. I've got a list a mile long of juices that I want to try! This forum is super helpful. Did I mention I love it?! You guys/gals rock!

I'm 31, have a 9 year old daughter and 3 cats from my first marriage, and am getting married again in August. I work in a garage as an admin asst. Theater is a passion I've had since I was 15. I'm on the board of my local community theater and I really enjoy directing! I also enjoy riding on the back of my man's mint oe 1978 Honda Hawk 1! He says all the things he loves to ride are '78s

Back on the Volcano front, I did a lot of research when I decided ecigs were the way to go and kept winding up back here! The posts are informative and fun and yes I ordered extra carts. I think I've got my man ready to deal with my transition and he might be coming along for the ride! I'm already trying to convert my smoking friends and even one nonsmoker who I think would enjoy vaping the 0 nic flavors. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to bring my parents along~ Ma can't even figure out call waiting and they're both technophobes *sigh* I can't wait to get my Volcano and I'll be sure to post any comments and questions I'm too excited about to keep to myself!

Dang! That was a rather spacious nut shell~ sorry Thanx all! Later

Hey everyone! I've finally overcome my shyness enough to post in this thread. My name is Ann, I'm 27, a grad-school dropout, and currently reside in New Mexico. I'm a retail slave, but only because my psychology degree makes it impossible for me to get a better job (ok plus the job market sucks). I love to travel, and am relatively new to this area of the country. Though I've never lived anywhere for too long, I'd have to say that I feel most at home in NC. I'm so glad to see so many North Carolinians using Volcano! My passion in life is, well, Second Life. If you ever want to try it out, look me up: AnnLove Vandeverre.

I have long been an on-again, off-again smoker. Thankfully, a great friend of mine referred me to Volcano during my last extreme urge to restart smoking! The package arrived at just the right time, and I never did buy that $6 pack of cigarettes! I've been a vaper for a month now, and totally love it. I don't really know what else to say about myself, but I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Hey everyone, I just started "vaping" about a week and a half ago and I love it so far. I've only smoked 2 regular cigs since then and I feel much better already. Volcano is great by the way, fast shipping and awesome customer service. I was having a problem with my atomizers(which was my fault) they had a quick reply with detailed instructions on what to do! Perfect!
