    Good morning to all!

    Awesome man, good combo I hear. Yeah, I didn't last a week on the cartridges but for a week myself before moving on to clearo's for 2 then finally to a tank with carto's. The Vivi Nova seems to have really mixed reviews. Perhaps it comes down more or less to differences between rev 1's and...

    Good morning to all!

    Grats man and welcome to the evolution! If anything will do it for you, this will. My wife and I switched from the moment of our first drag off a 3.4v EGO. She'd been smoking for ~15 years, myself off and on (kept trying to quit. failed repeatedly) for about 7 years. YMMV but I'm quite...

    A semi-newbie ready to move up a bit...

    That's good info to know on the Twist. I think even with its limits though it has its place. Not every carto/atty can be used but there are plenty that can and product a good vape/flavor regardless, at least it does to my newbie palette. At ~$28/ea and with a nice form factor I still think...

    vertical slotting cartos for tanks.

    I'm curious about slotting as well. I seem to have a b**ch of a time keeping mine primed and tend to (I think this is the reason) burn them out quickly because I let them get to dry and keep going. @Batitude - I buy all my carto's pre-drilled (vs. punched) and don't have any deformation...

    A semi-newbie ready to move up a bit...

    Hey man, I use the vaporessence juices too and have the same gunking problem on my clearo's. I think it's probably because I tend to hotbox though as many people seem to do fine with them. A twist is definitely a good option, I have 2 and rotate. I run em 3.8-4.8 depending on carto and...

    It's been a trip.

    Awesome man! Yeah, quitting vaping (or snus as I did back in the day) is WAY easier than quitting analogs! That being said, I highly recommend you keep SOMETHING around in case you need it. I was totally clean for about a year but the itch never totally left. Then there was that one drunken...

    Approaching perfection -- but too darn long!

    Add that to this SD Key Ring Set by Trog and you will totally be stealth mode ;-) Hehe, that being said when I first tried back in the day (3 years ago) I wanted it to look just like a cig so I could blend in with the sheep. Now I'm quickly heading towards the bigger and more obnoxious the...

    Would it be safe if....

    I think this question would be better asked under the regional forum. You'll need 5 posts to post there though so poke around here for a little, ask some relevant questions or just be friendly. ;-) Welcome!

    Just removed my wick

    Hey man, grats on 3 months and welcome! Yeah, word on the street is direct drip is THE way to go for max flavor and vapor. Just gotta KEEP dripping and personal preference on that varies.

    Hi from the North West UK

    Grats man! It's such a life altering thing to discover these things, welcome to the evolution! I couldn't imagine going back either! So yeah, you've got an EGO-clone which is a pretty good place to start. Anything (atty, carto) will fit on it that has an EGO or 510 connection. The latter...

    I just moved to vaping over the weekend

    That's awesome man (or woman), welcome! My motto is "whatever works, works" so I'm glad you found something that does. I know what you mean about form factor mattering though. My wife bought her Provari off of a guy who switched to an EGO Twist :blink: He said the Twist fit better in his...

    Those guys at the mall

    I think the cost of kiosk space rental alone kills any possibility of a kiosk vendor being able to sell a product for a remotely competitive price. Throw the wage of the salesperson and money in stolen product (probably by that salesperson) in and the whole concept is stillborn. @mostapha - I...

    Those guys at the mall

    Those guys at the mall - Part II So yesterday the wife, kids, and I were at a different mall (ok, guess we go to the mall alot? iono...) and came across another gimmic e-cig stand. We weren't feeling froggy though so we went by with peace in mind. The lady there approached us, saw my wife's...

    Can someone please explain clearomizers for me!

    The early models of these leaked easily from what I hear but I've got 7 and haven't had a leak problem yet. Many MANY clearo's, tanks, anything with clear plastic seem to crack with certain juices (like cinnamon flavors). Also they can leak if inverted for too long or if you twirl your cig...

    Can i use ReJuvenator Mega XL 1.7 ohm low resistance cartomizer with my ego-c?

    Yeah man, that carto will work fine for you. I've moved on to the Twist and a DCT Tank setup but I got a pack of these to switch up flavors without reloading my tank etc. and I'm pretty pleased with them. I also gave a couple to my neighbor who's got just the EGO-T 3.4v like you and he agrees...

    What is the best e cig? I already have a eGo-T

    Like the other guys said, this is HIGHLY subjective and there are hundreds of options when you take into account all the possible combinations. That being said, if money were no object I'd pick up a Provari (~$225 out the door with batts, charger, etc.) and call it a day. I use an EGO Twist...

    An idea for helping kick the analog demon in the back of your mind...

    I've read a lot of posts about people struggling to truly kick their analog habit. I've read about some people going back to analogs after vaping for a while (though most of these they started vaping in it's infancy and it's gotten a LOT better). Others just have that itch in the back of their...

    ECF Noob here!

    Check the yellow pages man (yp.com) and see what's around you. I would be surprised if San Francisco didn't have a few vape shops relatively close by. I'm in Ft. Worth, TX and there's one by my house plus 4 within about a 15 min drive.
