    looking for first real ecig kit

    Anything that is 510-threaded (or says '510' somewhere in the listing, typically) should be compatible with the kit the OP linked. That's a good place to start out, is easy to handle, and should work really well to get someone going. :) Also, the clearomizers mentioned by MadiTayl are...

    I think I converted my landlord

    I can't count the number of times that my husband and I have been asked in the last year what those things are. He uses a custom Maximum Vapors Max Woodiebox, I use a Lavatube with a plethora of Phiniac custom tanks. And people are fascinated by them. There will come a time, I think, when a lot...

    Buying first ecig this week

    And yes - I do keep ego batteries around as emergency batts, although I almost never use them anymore!

    Buying first ecig this week

    Anything that is 510-threaded can be used on other 510-threaded devices. This basically means that the majority of tanks, etc can be adapted to other devices. However, I tend to advise punched cartomizers and a large, refillable tank. Other people prefer what's called clearomizers, which are...

    Big Thanks to ECF and it's Members!

    I'm probably one of the least gear-..... types here.. but what I don't spend on the PV, I spend on custom glass tanks and on juice. Welcome to the fold, and be proud of yourself... leaving cigarettes behind was the best decision you could ever make. (I know... I can breathe and smell again...

    New Member saying hi!

    Welcome to ECF. Seems like you're well on your way, but let me just say that switching to vaping from cigs is one of the best choices you can make, and I applaud you for making it!

    Vape in front of your children?

    As my daughter was an adult when we started vaping (and her complaints about cigarette stink were actually what caused us to start vaping in the car while with her), I can't speak to young kids. But consider this: many of us grew up seeing smokers, and knowing smoking was an 'adult activity'. If...

    Best ecig starter kit for me?

    I like the Ego-Twist batteries, but if you don't care about the sleekness of your unit, you might find yourself well-served by a slightly larger model, like a "avatube clone type. If you shop around, someone always has a sale on 'em for about $50. You can replace the batteries easily, they're...

    Buying first ecig this week

    As I haven't gotten an ego 510t kit for a while, I can't say who has the best prices. But an ego 510T does fit the bill in being cigarette-like. That said, my experience is that while I started with a cigarette-like kit (almost a year ago now, wow), I quickly moved on to the. Ego-T, and from...

    something different

    I have vaped caramel flavors that did have notes of actual caramel in them, but it wasn't the entirety of the flavor. So far, as far as 'true' flavors go, I've had the best luck with Gen X Vapor as far as their bakery flavors, but I will note that they tend to gunk up my tank cartos rather...

    Are you vaping everywhere?

    I vape in public without any problems. If anything, I find that a rare handful see something they think is smoke coming from my mouth and automatically start fake-coughing and waving their hand in front of their nose... until they actually smell it, and then they look confused and wonder why...

    Is taste really that subjective?

    I've been vaping since February, and at first, I wanted EVERY FLAVOR. I would have 2-3 different PVs with different flavors on me at any time, and I still wanted more, because I couldn't take a lot of any given flavor. Then my tastebuds changed. For stretches lasting from two weeks to a month...

    Wow. Vapedudes...

    I agree. I've been a long-time customer of VapeDudes, since they first opened, and I was getting a bit frustrated with their delay for a while there. But there was reason for that delay -- they had been down to one juice blender and one shipper/email person. Now they've got two juice blenders...

    Strawberry Twizzlers

    This was an accidental discovery - I certainly didn't start out trying to make a Twizzlers-flavored juice. (In fact, I was going for extra-whipped-cream strawberries and cream!). For simplicity's sake, I'm omitting the VG/PG options here, just putting my percentages in as to what made the...

    Does anyone vape a single mix flavor?

    I am still new enough to DIY that all I'm doing at present is single flavor mixes (although that's rapidly changing as I try to come up with boozeahol blends I like). But at the moment, my all-day is just a bubblegum at 20% with a dash of sweetener. Tastes like Bazooka bubblegum to me, and I...

    Renaissance "pipe" mod (purely cosmetic)

    I actually ended up using it opening weekend of Faire without the leather cover, and it didn't look completely out of place, provided that when it wasn't in use, the 510 batt was tucked into my spinning basket -- time got sparse in preparing other stuff. However, I can definitely see some...

    Renaissance "pipe" mod (purely cosmetic)

    Not rude at all -- I love the idea. I haven't developed the skills yet to wire something of that sort, but y'know, I LIKE the idea, so I'll chat with my husband and see if between the two of us, we can't come up with something like that. I have to admit, I hate using the 510's because I'm one of...

    Why I love my Phiniac.

    I've gotten more Phiniac tanks since I posted my review. The one I mentioned in the review has now had three major drops, and still looks brand new... although I literally broke a carto. Yeah, these are SERIOUSLY tough tanks. I now have one of the blown-detail tanks as well, and while I was...

    Howdy from the Vape Dudes! Come say Hi!

    These things take time. But you're here now! :D
