$80.00 on 2 carton of ciggs, or 2 MVP 20W Batteries?

[2pksAday]

For YEARS, I never thought twice about walking into our local Sam's Club every payday and dropping $80+ on two cartons of the cheapest smokes they got (usually pyramid 100's or whatever else is in that general price range)....but it's taken me 3 weeks to decide whether or not to buy the MVP 20W Battery..???
What the hell is wrong with me?

Good news...I didn't buy the cigarettes and I don't plan on buying ANY MORE cigarettes

I came on here this morning feeling quite old seeking advise on batteries. I've actually been coming to this site for quite a number of months now, but never registered. I pretty much knew myself that I needed to spend a little more money on a decent battery but ya know...I've always been that kind of person who needed a little SHOVE in the right direction, and thanks to all of you guys and your replies from this morning, I took the plunge and bought an Innokin iTaste MVP 20W...not just one, but TWO of them, lol (gotta have a backup right?) that plus I was able to purchase them for $29.95 each from Vapor Beast using a promotional code *TENTASIC* (never shopped this company before but couldn't pass up the price)

Thank you again for being here to help us newbies with our questions and concerns. I will be sure to come back and let you all know how my new battery is working out

Great news! Welcome to the forum. Did you get anything to go with your new MVP's? Attys? Juice? Tanks?

 

[DaveOno]

I love it when a plan comes together.

Best of luck on your journey.

And remember, if it works for you, then it's right.

I've been using the Aspire CE5 BDC w/ 1.8ohm coils and I personally like them, I've been using a standard voltage ego style battery with them.

BUT, I did go ahead and order the Aspire Vivi Nova-S Glass Version Clearomizer to go with my new MVP's...they are larger, glass, and I can continue to use the BDC coils that I have (I just bought two packs of 5 last week)
I will keep my CE5's for spares.

Thanks Susan for the coupon code. I have used MFS on several occasions..I especially like their checkout as you can use your points AND the coupons at the same time. I usually end up using a coupon, my points AND I'm still able to use the additional 'free 15ml e-liquid' coupon on top of everything. (I'm a regular coupon queen, haha)

Their e-liquids are a little bit pricey...but because of the coupons, I have never actually paid for them. I enjoy their U.S Red VG (18mg nicotine). Good flavor, much like a real cigarette. Not much into the fruity flavors..or at least the ones that I've tried.
I usually BUY my e-liquid from Mt Baker Vapor....mostly sticking to the tobacco flavors.

Great Pick on those MVPs! I posted a link to gotsmok last night, I hope it helped
Nautilus will be a good match for those, with the bvc heads

to ecf 2pksAday. Nice to meet you and so glad that you decided to join. I just don't think you can go wrong with mvp and you are smart to know the importance of backups. I wonder if the cameras at Sam's pick me up as I go by the cigarette section because I know I look like this. . .

Have fun and happy vaping to you.

Way to go! I've been a week without cigarettes and it feels great (and feels great to have a little extra $ in my pocket, too)!

It's was quite a pleasant surprise when I submitted my usual monthly Click 'n' Pull order last night via the Sam's Club website, removing the 5 cartons of cigarettes from my shipping list, and seen the total price be $200+ LESS than what it normally is.
I am looking forward to doing a little 'happy dance' of my own when I go to pick up my order and not have the need to make a b-line straight for the cigarette counter, although I'm sure Sam's club will not be happy at losing over $3500 a year from my cigarette purchases alone.

They aren't loosing quite that much.. I think half of all cigarette purchases goes to uncle sam.. He on the other hand WILL BE ......!

 

[2pksAday]

I'm sure Uncle Sam will no doubt find another way to recoup his losses
Let's just hope they don't start adding special taxes to my bulk coffee purchases LMAO...

Good for you!! I was in your shoes only a month ago. I now spend a LOT of time here reading about DIY juice, mods, and rebuilding. This really is an interesting hobby!

I never thought I would want a mod..but after constantly recharging cigalikes for a month, the 20 watt will be on order ASAP. Keep us posted!

Yes, cigalikes are a pain. Anything I have to:
stop vaping, unscrew the atomizer from, put on the charger, put atomizer on fresh batt, start vaping
more than once a day it too much of a pain for me. I vape a lot, so even most egos became a pain. Stepping up to that 20w mod will blow you away how much better of a vape it is even without changing your tank!

Back, like 4 years ago, I had purchased my very first e-cigg from one of those vendors inside the mall. If I remember correctly, it was a Fifty One Trio. They looked like cigarettes, the battery was whitish, and then the cartomizer was a brownish color. Inside that there was some kind of poly fiber stuff. The guy told me at the mall to simply 'drip' drops of this e-liquid that he had supplied with the kit...
The kit came with 2 extra long batteries (similar to the length of 100's) two cartomizers, and a battery charger.
It seemed to work okay for like a day, but there was never much in the way of vapor, and like you mentioned, the batteries were horrible. It seemed like no sooner had one charged, I was putting the other one on the charger.

I was so frustrated and, quite honestly, pretty peed off, as this kit had cost me $200.
I really kinda felt duped by this guy...he was creating all of this 'vapor' from this little fake cigarette and here I was thinking to myself that I had finally found something that will help me quit smoking. Getting home and sucking the life out of that dam e-cigg and getting nothing but a headache I ended up tossing out that entire kit, and buying a carton of ciggs.

It wasn't until about 18 months ago that I discovered clearomizers...I had seen people using them here and there and it perked my interest...more so the amount of vapor people were blowing with these things, lol...
I bought a very inexpensive CE4 kit about a year ago...generic brand, and it worked 'okay'..but I just wasn't really READY to quit smoking, so it was only very occasional that I took it out and used it...and again, even though there was a little more vapor and more throat hit, it just wasn't enough for me.

This past November is when I started getting serious about quitting smoking..and really when I started looking into 'vaping'.
I'm getting closer and closer to finding something that will help me finally quit the smoking habit...
I think this MVP 20W battery is really going to help me do just that.

What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for everyone and I appreciate all of the different advice and reviews on here as it helps me determine better what exactly it is that I need.
Knowing that the battery I have finally decided upon will work right across the board is half the battle.

2 MVP 20 watts... you may as well just keep one in the box... the MVP is the only mod I ever owned that didnt need a back up... not once, ever... great little battery...

I hope to see them move into 50-100 watt boxes before long.

I know they are putting out a 30, and I'm sure we'll see 50-100w mods from innokin before long, but I don't think it will be the MVP as that seems to be marketed toward newer vapers. Not saying it won't happen, just not likely IMO.

 

[Juokorow]

I understand your stance. After 30 years of smoking, I have just marked my first week of Vaping and avoiding further financial and health costs of stinkies!

 

[LeftofCenter]

Congrats to you! Keep the positive attitude and if it gets tough jump on the forum, it helps.
