In the period 2009 through 2012? I unsuccessfully tried to give up smoking by trying various electronic cigarettes. They included devices that looked similar to "real" cigarettes with ends that glowed to simulate being alight when you inhaled, where you would need to replace a plastic tip with a little ball of cotton wool saturated eliquid in it, which would only provide some 10 puffs, (if you were lucky). Well that was an absolute disaster, and vaping round one was an epic fail!
Along came Ego with the devices, (and clones), in the pic below, seemingly a godsend, as they now held around 1.5ml of eliquid, and their, (claimed), 1000 to 1500mAh batteries were good for a day on a charge.
Well eliquids still weren't what they are today, and the objective was to taste, (smell), like a normal stinkie, whilst providing copious quantities of nicotine, (a mere 1.2% in a 5ml bottle), so once again, I failed dismally with round two. I was a 30 a day Camel Classic smoker, probably getting more nicotine out of a single puff than the entire 5ml containers of the time ... so the items below were relegated to a box in my garage, (yes I'm a hoarder of a sort), and the experiences above become the foundation of my reticence towards vaping ... which I may add, only changed fairly recently.
So earlier today, in yet another bored lock down moment, I dug 'em out, cleaned, rewicked, recoiled, charged and popped in some "modern" eliquid ... and ... I get why I failed to give up smoking back then;
Compared to a modern pod, they might? get a 2/10, and that's only because our MTL eliquids are streets ahead of what was available way back when ... t'was fun, and ... it's time to put them back into the garage methinks.
