Hey Phil (Pete…),
Just a quick (well…) message about the Zenith. I started vaping back in January
2014 and went from smoking 70 (yes, seventy) cigs a day to vaping 3-4ml of
9mg a day. I followed all the trends, new devices, learned to make my own
juice, was active on the forums etc. All in all, apart from saving my lungs,
I also saved ???37.400 (I’m counting, 1870 days…) despite being a bit of a gear slut.But this is not about me. For me the switch was rather instant in that it
took me 2 weeks to completely transfer to vaping (with a simple eGo/C4).
However, my wife, who smokes a lot less – 10 cigarettes a day – didn’t find
it so easy. She really wanted to, but there was always something wrong.I tried everything. Name a device, and I bought it for her. Did the coils,
wicks, cleaning, keeping them filled. Nope. After a while she fell back to
smoking. Too big. Too small. Too complicated. Too much nic. Too little nic.
Too harsh. Too smooth. Too much leaking. She doesn’t care about the
technology. It just needs to work. And it didn’t do the trick for her.At some point I was deep into advocacy, giving presentations to politicians and
health care professionals. “Vaping works!” I really managed to turn some folks
around. Yet I always had to think “except for my wife”. So I doubled down on my
efforts.Maybe the DNA40 or the DNA75 will do it. Or the SX Mini. Maybe the Juul. The Kayfun
3 & 4. The Von Erl. The Lemo II. (that almost worked). The Siren. Nope. I tried
everything under the sun, but the last 6 months she was back to 100% smoking.I did a last ditch effort 2 weeks ago. She had a bad cold, and the smoking *really*
didn’t help. I saw an opening, did my research (again) and bought her the Coolfire
Mini 4 with the Zenith and Plexus coils.You may be familiar with that Platform…
I talked her through it (again). She’s a busy person, but I forced her to sit down
and try all the air & power settings. I finally set it on one single air hole and I
saw a kind of “aha” in her eyes after trying. We settled on 11W.Haven’t heard her since but she’s vaping away happily and not buying cigs. She also
knows she doesn’t need me to fill it, or to change coils. She can buy replacement
items in every vape shop in the world. Not having to ask me anything is a big part
of the deal for her. (I obviously bought her 10 Plexus coils just to be sure)Is it the final word? I don’t know. But my gut feeling tells me it is. Who would
have thunk that MTL designed for the smoker would work eh! Or factury made coils
that don’t taste like ass the first 20 puffs (they truly are amazing).I’ll keep you posted in a couple of months, if that would interest you. One could
say she is a bit of a tough test case.Cheers,
