I still have a box of that in my closet 
That was around the time I first considered trying ecigs. After days of research, much on this very forum, I concluded it was too expensive and involved to be enjoyable. It seemed everyone was having problems and going to great lengths, such as the blue foam, to improve there ecigs. I wondered why anyone in their right mind would go through all that trouble to replicate something as simple and readily available as cigarettes.
Come the summer of 2013, I had quit smoking for three years and decided to revisit the ecig thing. I tried a cigalike but found little joy and nearly eschewed the whole idea but further reading spurred me to try an ego and ce4 setup. This was just enough to put me smack in the middle of those seeking to eek out just a little more from my new-found hobby.
I now sit surrounded by several square feet of vaping gear awaiting components to complete my first built from scratch box mod and have already mapped out my next three builds.

My first "tank".
Don't really know why, but I still have that old TicTac box laying around.

I remember when I upgraded from a Joye 510 to a Bartleby box mod. The Bartleby charged from a mini usb and could last me the whole day as opposed to the Joye manual batteries which were good for around an hour.
Eventually I got tired of dealing with the crappy atomizers and burnt hits, so I went back to cigs until last September when I saw equipment had advanced to the point I could enjoy it, and the rest is history!

Is that just to hold filled cartos, or were you actually soaking them in liquid in there?
2009-10 here the first time. Carried an altoids tin with prefilled blue foam tips, extra batteries and atomizers, tiny bottle of 36mg juice.
I remember getting my first fixed voltage 650 mah eGo battery (have one that still works) and thinking I would never need anything bigger....
, and it worked so well with my CE-2 with syringe mod, or MAP tank.

We have a vape shop every 100 feet nowadays but long term we have one. And its a combination vape shop and pet shop.
And them blue foam crap ecigs wre all the rage for about 15 minutes. They actually still have the sign up for a starter kit. 90 bucks.
I considered that stuff useless (still do) but my wife wanted to try anything to get the older kids off cigarettes so she bought each of them a kit.
And I'm talking real old school. Near as she's can recall like 2005.
The kids used them one day. My son still has his and believe it or not it still works.
In away I'm glad people kept trying to make a working ecig but for me until we got into the higher watts and lower ohms I didn't have any interest.
And as we are at the high water mark of vaping I'm sad. I still have no use for that old stuff so I'll prolly just quit everything. I'm sad for the smokers that won't have a chance in some ways and in others I'm like its out how so poop or get off the pot.

But first, ya gotta peel of that flingin' flangin' friggin' black paper. Then wipe well with alcohol to get all the glue off.
I was SO very excited when uncovered cartos came out!! (I still have about a half-boatload of the black ones in the zombie drawer)
Edit: @ smacuser.
Coolerrat types faster than I do

Vapers previous to us had it pretty hard. I was lucky and had shopped for all the pre-cut foam and teabags and then discovered Boges which I'm still on to this day.
With a nice all day box mod and carto-tank.

I had to read all of the above posts to understand what the OP meant I was like what does this have to do with vaping???
I quit the cartos after a few months with my first V2 set up. What a pain to fill those things and they made such a mess. Thank goodness for my Nautilus/mini tanks!!!

I could hardly get the wrapper off more or less the glue, lol. I've had Black cartos in a tank for more than a month and that wrapper still didn't loosen.
Didn't feel like coughing up the $2.50 for SS back then.
