Hey people of the forum.

I think I might've set some kind of record. I've made five separate orders from five separate companies -- all before even receiving my first PV! I've never tried vaping before, but I've spent a buttload of scrilla (loot [money]) on it already! My situation is so unusual largely because I live in Mexico, and things can take a while to make it down here.

First, I ordered a Red Oak Welcome to E-smoking kit and a Red Oak JC Trio from Johnson's Creek on 03/12. They shipped it USPS Priority International (6-10 business days, according to USPS).

Second, I discovered Vapor4Life, and promptly (on 03/13) ordered two auto shorty value kits, two extra auto shorty batts, 2 USB chargers, and 75 VG cartomizers (that's 15 boxes of 5). They shipped it USPS First Class International (2-4 weeks, according to Valerie).

Next, on 03/19, I ordered 30 Greencig cartomizers (six boxes of five) from LeCig after having learned about burning filler problems in regular cartomizers. LeCig shipped 'em out on the 22nd using USPS Express Mail International (EMS) Flat Rate Envelope (2-3 weeks, according to Mike).

Then, on April Fool's Day, I found a great deal on KR808D-1 PCCs at LiteCigUSA, so I ordered one. But, in my paranoia over the impossibly long wait for my V4L order (and also wanting to have some PG cartos and juices to try -- and mix with VG juices), I added some other things to my PCC order: a 5mL syringe, 5 empty 15mL juice dripper bottles, 2 manual KR808 batts, 20 PG cartomizers and 5 empty premium cartos, 20mL of VG liquid, and 60mL of PG liquid. It was shipped USPS Priority International (6-10 business days).

Finally, tonight (April 5th), I ordered some Joye 510 stuff from DietSmokes: one Xpress 510 Cartomizer Starter kit (2 batts, 2 chargers, 5 cartos), an extra auto batt, 25 cartomizers, and 75mL of LiquidXpress juice. It will be shipped out tomorrow (I'm assuming), via UPS Worldwide Express (1-3 business days, according to UPS).

EDIT: It's now six orders from six different companies. I ordered the Classic 510 kit from VaporLITES because it has that awesome PCC that fits two batts and a bunch of carts. The kit comes with a bunch of stuff, including: 2 Complete VaporLites (2 batteries, 2 atomizers), 1 USB Charger Stick, 1 Wall/Home Charger Adapter, 1 Car USB Adapter, 1 Charging Case (PCC), 3 (10 ML) Bottles of Cartridge Refill Liquid (Mango, Watermelon, 555), 10 Pre-filled Cartridges (RY4 Flavor, HIGH Strength), and 1 Gift Box & Instruction Sheet. I also got a couple extra batts. The only thing I don't know is what shipping method they'll use (but I think USPS Priority). I swear that's the last order I'm placing until I've actually gotten a chance to try vaping for the first time!

And that's it! Pretty crazy, huh?

The only order I've received is the first one I placed (w/ Johnson Creek), so
I don't have a PV, and I've never tried one before. My V4L order and my DietSmokes order should both have arrived by Friday afternoon at the latest, and I think that, after having waited for nearly a month, vaping that first cartomizer will be an absolutely surreal experience. I've heard over and over that the V4L VaporKing and the 510 are good models to start out with, so I am very optimistic.

So, what do you think; might I have broken some sort of record?

I'll be keeping an eye out for you on the classifieds/swap thread.

Heh-heh -- yeah, I figure there's gonna be some of that stuff that just doesn't do it for me. A lot people say it's really tough to make a good chocolate flavor, and a fair chunk of what I ordered is chocolate-related. But I'm of course hoping I'll like every single thing I ordered!..

I just doubt I will.:)

Pokito espaniol. I don't know how to make all those accent marks though. I love Mexico. With the immagration thing going on I said let all the Mexicans come up here and we'll just move the US down there. Then everyone is happy. I would be anyway.

I love Mexico, too. Maybe you should relocate -- the weather here beats Tacoma (I think), and it's easy to become an English teacher (which can be really fun and rewarding, depending on your personality). Heck, you should sell your Gallardo (or is that a Murcielago in your avatar?) and buy a few houses down here! Or, if that Lambo isn't really yours, you can spend 150 bucks a month to rent a pretty nice place to live.

I've been down here for a little more than five years now, and my only regret is that I didn't move here sooner.

Shoulda just bought a 5 or 6 volt PV and a bunch of spare atomizers.

Well, to be honest, much like many other newbivapers, I was immediately attracted to the two-piece, auto-batt concept as well as those models which are similar in size and shape to analogs. I don't want some monstrosity the length of a Virginia Slims 140 stickin' out of my pie-hole. I don't know if I've ever heard of a 5v or 6v battery that's the size of a V4L shorty batt (or even a standard 510 batt), but if you know of one, tell me about it and maybe it'll become order number seven!

I suppose that, with my latest order being a "classic" 510 kit from vaporLITES, I'll get a chance to try out the world of the three-piece. I only really started considering the 510 once I'd heard about the 510 cartomizer, but, since my vaporLITES kit comes with two atties and 10 prefilled RY4 carts, I might as well take advantage of the opportunity to de-noobify myself even further.

You could also go to NHaler.com and order yourself a low resistance atomizer (if they have any in stock) and try out 5v vaping to see if high voltage is for you.

I actually wanted to order a Greencig 300 PCC starter kit and a bunch of Greencig carts from Nhaler a while back, but the starter kit was (and still is) out of stock, and they'll only accept a Mexican order through Paypal (and I've had trouble with Paypal not being able to accept my debit card for some reason).

Do you know of any 5v batteries that are the same size as a regular (or shorty) KR8 batt or a regular 510 batt?
