Introductions (part deux)

[Remie]

Hi! I'm glad to be here as well, Thanks Stu!

I'm pretty new to the vaping scene but I was able to completely quit a life-long 1.5+ pack a day smoking habit the day I got my 510. I didn't plan on quitting, I just didn't have any desire to smoke once I started vaping. It's been life-changing. I honestly thought I was hopeless. I defended my right to smoke whenever and wherever, I loved smoking... until I started vaping.

I discovered e-cigs by accident one day. I'm a gadget freak so I started doing research. I read these boards for over a month before I signed up and made my first post.

I'm pretty much a girly-girl and the big box mods really didn't appeal to me.

When I started to read about the eGo/Tornado I was a little enamored. I've had my Tornado since last Friday and I'm loving it.

I'm a constant vaper and I'm averaging 10 hours on one battery. I think it tastes great, the vapor is really consistent. It also completely solved the "bad burned nasty chemical taste" atomizer problem that seems to be epidemic lately.

I intend to stick with this model and start collecting back-ups

Hi everyone and thanks for the invite!

I live way the heck up there in NY State, about 20 miles from the Canadian border. I've been vaping since early October, started with a couple of 510 kits, then moved on to the KR8 (cartos and 901 atty) and kind of came full circle once I got my eGo. I love the thing, looks and battery life especially. Hands down my favorite PV so far!

Hey VDS! I know that Canadian cold well. I grew up on the St. Lawrence river in O'burg! It's a small world.

Hey back at ya! You moved off to warmer climes, huh? Actually, we've just had the mildest winter I can remember since I moved up here. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

Stubear was right, there are a lot of NYers in this group. Hmmm, New Yorkers liking their egos, who woulda suspected?

Hey just having us NYers liking anything is a step in the right direction. But so far I have not really found many that do not like the eGo.

Hey all,

I'm in Rochester, NY but I can't say I'm a "NYer" since I grew up in Boston (please no red sox/yankees talk).

Anyway I got my eGo with the most recent batch of eGo sets shipped out only a week ago. My god did I make the right decision... My friends have 510s and my eGo lasts wayyyy past even their second battery swap. Vapor is smoother too.

I'm using Menthol Ice from halocigs.com, since I was a menthol smoker. This .... is delicious! Not a huge fan of the RY4 that came with the eGo but this 30ml of Ice is gonna last a while...

 

[cjc]

My original order with the eGo had 18mg carts and some 11mg marlboro-ish juice. Have mainly been dripping and the 11mg wasn't cutting it. The juice I just ordered is 18mg and a great bottle of 24mg coffee flavor. Now that one is really taking the edge off!

What coffee liquid did you buy? I'm trying to figure out which coffee to get... I'm a black coffee drinker if it makes a difference.

Anyone else recommend a coffee?

 

[stubear62]

Hey cjc,
You still have the RY4 from the eGo?
I am interested if you do.. I like it.

 

[honuhart]

hey cjc, so far the only coffee i have liked so far has come from tasty vapor. Theres nothing sweet about it, just coffee.

 

[honuhart]

sorry cjc, the coffee is from ecigsupply and it is vapors choice.

 

[TWolf]

Cjc - Got the coffee from Arno at Awesome Vapor. If you've ever had coffee-flavored hard candy, that's kinda what this vape reminds me of... good coffee taste, but with a underlying sweetness. I'm a real noob though, so I have no comparison to other coffee ejuice out there. I'm a straight up, black coffee drinker myself btw.

Julep - I'll have to try Tasty Vapor's coffee version too. Thanks!

[TWolf]

Looks like we're going to have an anniversary in common, Paul. I started vaping on Feb 11th on the eGo as well.

 

[PaulCincy]

Also, I can use your smokefree banner...lol...of that is how much you "smoked"
For me, it use to be 1 and 1/2 packs a day...
Take Care,,,,

[TWolf]

Yep... 2 pks (or more) a day for me. For a few years I was a 3 packer! Still just blown away that I was able to switch to the pv so painlessly!

 

[sherlynn]

Hello! I'm Sherri and I hail from Indiana. Was a pack a day smoker for over 30 years and ended up with peripheral artery disease. Had to quit immediately and it took about 2 weeks to find vaping and my am I glad I did I have several but the tornado/ego is my favorite-especially paired with a LR atty!! I am down to about 6 mg nicotine and using mostly VG.

I am on my second marriage (1st one lasted 25 yrs) to the love of my life, I have an adult daughter, 2 adult step-sons and my baby boy who is 13 now. We also have 8 parrots and a cat. I am a stay-at-home mom.

Thanks for letting me join!!

 

[stubear62]

Hi Sherri!!
Glad to have you here.. HA! I'm on my second marriage too, funny, my ex lives in Indiana. LOL...
With my 2 Daughters.. But, anyways, have fun and ask all the questions you want to..
Enjoy!!

 

[sherlynn]

Hey Stu, small world!! My ex still lives here and for some reason I wished he lived in Timbuktu!!

 

[Bageone]

Hi Everyone thanks for the invite! I've only been vaping since Feb 2010 but $2000 or more later my main devices are Ego and variations of the Ego for out in public and the Ego Passthru for when all my main stay at home device batteries are charging.

Hey Welcome! Pull up a chair and stay a while. Please tell us more about the "variations of the eGo".
