    Help me decide on a vv! I'm totally overwhelmed.

    Here's my story: I've been vaping on a kgo vv for a few months ago. I got it because I loved my original kgos; they never had any issues whatsoever. My husband and I actually BOTH got kgo vvs. At first they were great - enough so that I don't use my original kgo anymore. It just doesn't...

    Want to build my own kgo kit - what should I include?

    I've decided that I want (need?) a kgo, and so far it seems that Hoosier has the best prices. The thing is, their starter kit has a bunch of things that I don't need: I have more USB wall adapters than I know what to do with from cell phones, cameras, ecigs, etc... I really don't need another...

    Vaping has saved me!

    I quit tobacco the day I got my pv (check out my siggy for the exact time), and THANK GOD (and I'm not saying thank God in a slang kind of way - I've actually prayed my thanks). If I were still a smoker I'd be fit to be tied by now. I've been in the hospital since Tuesday, and it is a tobacco...

    How many puffs per carto fill?

    I've been vaping for a little over 2 weeks (yay!), and my tastebuds are still not working well. I'm happy to report that I'm tasting my vape, but I'd estimate that I'm only getting about 75% of the flavor in my juice. Here's my question: since I only partially taste when I vape, how many puffs...

    ACK! USB charger broke in less than 2 weeks!

    Less than 2 weeks ago we got our first kits, and haven't smoked an analog since (yay!). But this morning, when I went to plug in my batt to charge, the usb charger broke into about 4 pieces! I'm so ticked off, and in a bit of a panic, because there is no way that one charger will keep 4 batts...

    Hubby "lost" his usb charger!

    Actually, my husband didn't lose it, he left it plugged in by his computer and the kids lost it. In either case, it's been swallowed up by the pit known as his man cave, and apparently has been since last night since he didn't have a fully charged batt as he was going to work. Loving wife that...

    New to vaping, any brick and mortar stores in the north 'burbs?

    My husband and I just got our kits on Saturday, and the switch has been painless (something that I'm totally shocked over). While we have enough juice to be good for a while, I'd like to be able to actually see what I'm buying before hitting that "order" button, KWIM? Plus, I've actually had a...

    "Quit sick" or did I catch a bug?

    I dropped the analogs a few days ago, and yesterday my lungs had that "I smoked 2 packs of full flavored menthol cigarettes in a club where everyone else was chainsmoking" feeling. I'm sure you all know that awful feeling, right? In any case, today I'm starting to cough up all kinds of lovely...

    Is there a place where I can browse "quit date" tickers?

    I'm on day 3 of vaping (36 hours into kicking the tobacco/analog habit - yay!) and I'd like to add a ticker to my siggy as a bit of a way of bragging about my success. I see a variety of different styles, but would like to browse and find my "perfect" ticker. Is there a place where I can see a...

    Got our Volts tonight!

    Our Volts arrived in the mail today (and the samples from Vixen Vapors), and so we've tried our hand at vaping. I've done a ton of research, and spent a lot of time on ECF, but hubby hasn't and is pretty much along for the ride because he realizes we need to get off the analogs. So far, it's...

    How should I tell people about vaping? Is there a sticky about snappy comebacks?

    I know I'm posting a lot here, but I'm trying to be totally prepared for starting vaping. Here's my latest question: how should I tell my friends/family about vaping? I tried explaining it to my mother-in-law (also a smoker) and she seemed more confused than anything, especially about safety...

    What should I expect when withdrawing from analogs?

    I was reading another post where a few people mentioned getting sick after quitting analogs. I'm familiar with new non-smokers hacking up lung butter for a good while after stopping, but I've never heard of any other withdrawal symptoms (other than the obvious nic fit and not knowing what to do...

    Ordered kits, do I need eliquid to start?

    My husband and I have been smoking for 15+ years and are determined to quit, so today I ordered our first kits (volt kits for both of us). Included are 5 prefilled cartos each, and I also got 10 blank cartos but figured I would order some juice later. Now I'm wondering if I should get some...

    Total n00b here, but going to order *something* tonight

    My husband and I have been smoking for years, and are determined to quit analogs. We've tried different methods in the past, and it just. doesn't. work. I'm okay without the nicotine, but the actual ritual of smoking is something that I don't want to give up. Just the other day a friend...
