The Yeti Starter kit from AltSmoke

Author: admin, March 26th, 2010

This was actually the second starter kit I ordered, but the first to arrive.   Two weeks prior, I had placed an order for the Titan PCC Starter Kit from Totally Wicked.  Along with some additional supplies and ejuice.  Unfortunately, USPS lost my order.   I really wanted to get started vaping and had heard that Rob over at AltSmoke not only carried a solid inventory of electronic cigarette supplies and juices, but that his customer service and shipping speed were top notch.   So I ordered the Yeti Starter Kit and a 10ml bottle of Peach juice.  Not sure why I choose peach, it just sort of sounded interesting.  Anyways, three days later my kit arrived.  Thanks Rob!  Oh and the peach juice turned out to be a pleasant introduction, although I’ve learned to make tobacco flavors my main vape.

Right out of the box I totally “got it”.   A smoking alternative that not only delivered the nicotine but simulated a real cigarette by providing not only a throat hit, but smoke ( err.. I mean vapor ).   Yeah, the novelty of it was pretty awesome.  I can honestly see how electronic cigarettes help people who are ready to quit smoking, quit.

Of course there is a bit of a learning curve, but that’s the fun part.   Have I quit smoking yet?   Not yet, but the reduction in what I normally smoke is incredible.    More times than I expected, I crave my 510 more.    I don’t look at a half pack of smokes and think, “shit!..I need to buy smokes”.    It’s more like, I look forward to getting the perfect vape and playing with different juices.   So to be honest, I haven’t quit smoking yet, but going from a pack a day down to four or six cigarettes is a pretty big accomplishment in my book.

The Yeti

The Yeti is simply a branded 510 model, made up of a battery, atomizer and cartridge .  Same as the Joye and Titan ( from Totally Wicked ).  Being 510’s, all the parts are compatible.   Meaning if you’re like me and buy from different companies, it doesn’t matter if your buying Joye batteries or a Titan PCC Starter kit… everything works together.

The Yeti starter kit ( my purchase price  w/ the extra juice, $57.43  incl. SH and stuff ) comes complete with your basics.

• 2 – Yeti Batteries
• 2 – Yeti Atomizers
• 5 – Yeti Cartridges
• 1 – Yeti Battery Charger & Cord
• 1 – Yeti Manual

Remember, this is just a starter kit.  I kinda did some research first, and knew that I needed to top off my cartridges every so often ( seven to ten draws ), so that’s why I ordered the extra peach juice.   So make sure you add some ejuice to your order.  If your a menthol smoker, pick something minty.  A regular light to full flavor smoker… just go with a tobacco flavor to start.   Hell!  There’s even a clove juice for you clove smokers.

Final thoughts…

I choose the 510 model ( Titan, Joye, Yeti ) because  I wanted a popular and easy to use brand to start my electronic cigarette journey.  My goal is to eventually quit smoking all together.  Although electronic cigarettes,  also known as Personal Vaporizers ( PV’s ) are designed to be smoking alternatives and not as a quit smoking aid, this is how I choose to stop smoking ( eventually ).
