Welcome back, all. Herein I present the second video-post of Darkened Eyes history, where I give my pros and cons between the SS No. 7 and the Joye 510 (otherwise known as the Titan, the Dura, the Yeti, etc.) e-cigarettes.

I’ll likely be back with numbers 3 and 4 being individual reviews of each one, now that I’ve had them for a while, but I need to free up some space on this hard drive before I can do that.

I do happen to have a spare drive laying around though, I might image that as a base OSX image just for video editing for this kind of thing. We shall see.

Without further blabbering from me, here is video-post number 2:

I know I promised that I would get off the couch for this one, but it was kind of a spur-of-the-moment type recording. Hopefully I can find a spot in the apartment where I can record and it looks a little more professional…ish.

I know the quality of this sucks, it was shot using the iSight camera in my MacBook.

Maybe if I decide to start doing this more often I’ll move to somewhere off the couch and make it look a little more professional.

With that being said, let me present the first Darkened Eyes Video Post: The SS No. 7 Personal Vaporizer!

Update: This video is pretty much just a little informative video about what an e-cigarette or personal vaporizer actually is. Once I get my 510s (which should be in the next few days or so), I’ll post up a compare/contrast review type thing. Probably do the same once I get to try out the Johnson Creek flavor sampler pack of e-liquid I’ll be receiving on Tuesday. Maybe this video thing will become a semi-regular occurrence after all…

So here’s my followup post to the Vaping article I posted a few days ago. After spending a couple of days with this device, I’ve completely switched to it and off of regular ‘analog’ cigarettes. I much prefer the feeling that vaping gives rather than smoking, and the fact that there’s no chemicals not only going into me, but into the air around me is a great benefit.

That being said, I’ve placed an order for a new model of vaporizer, a Joye 510 model, as the model I’ve got (the SS Choice No. 7, which is a rebrand of another model which I believe is the RN4081) came with a faulty battery and needs to be charged every few hours. The 510 apparently has a slightly shorter battery life, but I also ordered a Personal Charging Case for it, which can recharge the batteries 4 times from an internal battery, and charge itself and batteries through USB. I also ordered a straight-up USB charger for the device as well.

The batteries on the 510s are manual, which means that there’s a button on them that activates the device, rather than the automatic batteries on my No. 7, which is activated just by inhaling from the device.

Maybe if I get ambitious I’ll post a *gasp* video review of the No. 7, and one of the 510 once I get it.

Anyway, I heartily recommend anyone who smokes seriously look into e-cigarettes/personal vaporizers, and if you want some serious information on the devices/liquids/experience, you can check out Vapeatron or E-Cigarette-Forum for more info and a great community for the people who use these devices.

Keep on vapin’, and keep your eyes open. We’re watching…
