    1st cig since I started vaping

    Hehe, I get to work in a lab and chain vape. I'm pretty sure what the answer would be if I asked anyone about it but I figure if I never ask... People come in the lab all the time and NO ONE has mentioned any sort of smell (good or bad) and I really douse the place. I haven't had an analog...

    too many ingredients in e-liquid?

    I wouldn't readily dismiss any potential harms in our juice. I think we should pay attention and keep trying to improve the healthfulness of the product. That being said, if we're to be so critical of e-juice then maybe we should look at all the others things we ingest. Like fruit...

    Vaping nub soon to be amateur (hopefully)

    Grats man, and welcome to the club! Good buys I say, seems almost everyone is universally happy with the combo you selected. I was a total analog junky. I'd buy em with change, bum them off people, hell I've even stolen a few to get my fix. From that first puff of my EGO I never looked back...

    ECF Noob here!

    Welcome! Yeah, there is a ton of info, and at the rate this stuff is changing it can be hard to keep up with everything if you really try to! So what are you vaping on ATM?

    How long did it take you to drop analogs fully?

    My wife smoked for... about 15 years, I smoked for about 7. I was (am) the kind of junky that would let blood for a smoke. I've bummed cigs off people who didn't even speak english, bought them with change, walked to the store cause I was too drunk to drive, whatever it took. We switched...

    Those guys at the mall

    So, went to the mall Sunday with the fam. We were minding our own business, just strolling down the corridor when 2 of those gimmic, cigarette-look-a-like kiosk guys jumped in our way and started trying to pitch their crap. They asked if we smoked and we said "No, we vape". I pulled out my...

    Lavatube....good bad or ugly

    I second the EGO Twist vote. It's ~$30 depending on where you get it very good. I have the twist and tested out a lavatube at my local shop and just wasn't impressed. I moved my tank back and forth between them a few times and it was really /meh. Maybe if you were starting out and had...

    ETA on Pink/White/Blue/Purple Provari's

    It'll be the one with the massive pileup, 2 hour stand still, and hot dog vendors. ;-)

    Provair just came in!

    Grats man! Provari's ROCK! My wife has one and I just can't wait to get my own (I always give her the best first). All the flavors I go for are fruity so I don't know that I'll be much help in that dept. I never really liked the taste of cigarettes that much, just the nic. That being said a...

    Todd's Intro

    Excellent Todd, glad to have you (and by proxy them) here! I'll keep it simple and biased ;-) Get them EGO Twists with 2.4-2.8ohm clearomizers (stardust/vision) and some 24mg nic juice (and a backup of 16mg, even some long term smokers end up being suprisingly intolerant to high doses of nic)...

    Analog strongholds?

    Heh, I was just texting with a friend about this. I've found that, at those times taking a few hits of 24mg juice at 5.5v off my wife's Provari will absolutely obliterate the concept of smoking an analog. Then I drop back to my Twist at 4.8 with 16mg juice and just cruise... ;-)

    Comparable to EGO with Clearomizer?

    Well this hasn't been as fun as I thought it'd might be ;-) KDude: you make a good point. It really is a solid all around combo and I agree that a lot of people could stop right there and be perfectly satisfied. I do however think you're missing something if you don't try a Twist though. The...

    New member and issues with ego-T

    PG = Propylene Glycol VG = Vegetable Glycerol These two substances form the base liquids used in all e-liquids. They vaporize well and carry the nicotine and flavor into your lungs and nasal passages. VG is sweet and really thick so too much will tend to clog up atomizers and cartomizers...

    Comparable to EGO with Clearomizer?

    So, thinking about my posts one would think I'm hocking EGO's and Clearomizers. That's not really my intent, it's just all (other than the Provari and standard 510 tanks) that I have experience with and feel like it's a really good starting combo. I'd like to hear from some of you on other...

    New member and issues with ego-T

    Oh really? Hrmmm..... Well I have had some 'stiff' draws with mine at times, maybe it comes down to your juice. Do you happen to know the PG/VG ratio on it? It seems to me that a 70/30 ratio works pretty well for these. Another approach would be to get a VV device like the EGO Twist. They...

    Finaly back to vaping

    Welcome back man! I had the same experience (spread out over more years though). Tried a cig-look-a-like a few years back and it totally turned me off. Got my EGO and haven't had (or wanted) an analog since (same for my wife). Keep exploring though. If the stock EGO starts to leave you...

    Ego-C problems

    First guy: Prolly just need to clean the atty (my shop recommended everclear). That being said I didn't spend much time using the tank atty that came with it before I switched to clearomizers. MUCH better IMO. Also the EGO can be used with a 510 tank if you're up for that. Just need a collar...

    Howdy Folks

    Welcome man! Be careful not to drown in the volume of info though. If (when LOL) it becomes overwhelming just step back for a bit and visit later. Have you bought something yet or still researching?

    New member and issues with ego-T

    Ok, good deal. Yeah, the clearomizer is available in the UK. I did a quick google search on 'stardust clearomizer UK' and hit the first link to find Stardust Clearomizer LR with long dual wicks Now I'm not advocating purchasing from this particular store per se, just one example of where they...
