Hi everyone, I am a new member here and wanted to introduce myself. I have been smoking for 40 years and tried my first e-cig less than two weeks ago at my doctors suggestion. I was real supprised! Haven't had or even missed a analog cig since. I started with disposibles and quicklybought a V2 starter kit. I am now ready to move up again and have been looking at the Ego twist battery with the Ego vision but not sure yet. I expect to learn a lot here and am looking forward to participating. Emilio

I think it's pretty awesome that your Dr. made the suggestion....I had to educate mine before he gave a thumbs up.

Yeah he said he knew several people who had quit using e-cigs. Don't think he was hoping I would like vaping so much!

Welcome epe! I quit analogs and Then let my Dr. know about it and she was all for it. Even had me demo it in her office. I hope she mentions them to any patients who are thinking about dumping the analogs.

hi Epe!

i'm new too and we are both on the same schedule and also how we started on this journey with the disposables.

wishing you lots of luck. right now my disposable ran out and i need to just go to bed. the Twist should be here soon.

This vaping is a god send.

Welcome, the ego twist with some boge cartomizers will give you a very satisfying vape.

 

[blue_skies]

argh. i bought a stardust, but only one.

lol, i only bought the basic of EVERYTHING. the whole outlay of cash was a lot for me right now.

i'm living hand to mouth... literally...

Welcome to ECF. A number of people here are fans of the Ego Twist. Please report back and let us know how you like it if you get one.

Thanks for the "welcomes" everyone. I am really suprised how quickly the batteries on my V2 kit seem to be going away. They just don't last very long on a charge and they are less than two weeks old! Will the Ego twist 1000mh batteries hold up longer?

 

[blue_skies]

okay pappy. will do. The Twist seemed like the most bang for my buck at the moment.

Welcome to the forums, Emilio. Good to have you here!

Welcome to ECF, Emilio.

You have a great doctor. I'm glad you're taking his advice.

Since you started with a V2, an 808 battery, before you head up to variable voltage batteries, maybe you want to try a battery such as the X2 from Smokeless Image. It is the larger battery like the regular eGo, but not a variable voltage. However, the SI X2 is also an 808 threaded battery and you could use other 808 accessories with it (except the charger, always use the propritary charger which comes with the X2 - or your battery of choice).

However, if you are looking to jump right over to the variable voltage batteries, the eGo twist seems to be one of the most popular choices at the moment, just make sure you are getting the real thing and not a knockoff/counterfeit battery. Make sure it is marked Joyetech. Joyetech's website Joyetech worldwide business partner lists their distributors (of those listed, I'd probably go with MyVaporStore.com); and they also have a page listing those known to sell knockoffs. And, Steeljan has a good review out on the Joyetech eGo Twist, as well.

Wish I had read this sooner. Just ordered two Ego twist batteries from MyFreedomSmokes.com. They are not listed as known copies but are listed as unauthorized. Not sure what i'm getting.

What a cool doctor you have!

Over the years I have tried so many different method to quit smoking, pill, patch, herb, gum, and you name it, nothing works.

It's not the lack of nicotine that's the issue, it usually is just the habitual puff, smokes and deep breath that's difficult to kick.

If only I've started e-cigs earlier, I would have quitted long ago..

BTW, if your doc writes a prescription for e-cig, I would love him!! we all would!

Just found the MyFreedomSmokes forum here and they seem to be a popular vendor. Hope this means my Twist batteries are genuine.
