So, I've been vaping for some time now (about 3 months) and I have a few newbish questions I would love to throw out there for discussion:

1. So I've got my MVP and my silver bullet. I've been eyeballing a few mods that I've seen and that I really want including the zmax and/or the SVD. My question is, as far as mods go, what should my next step be? I know I want VW for sure but I can live with just VV as well.

2. So far, I've only used clearomisers on my mods. Mainly the iClear 16 and the iClear 30. I've used an atomizer; dripping is alright, but it didn't last me vary long and I found it to be a little annoying. I've been looking at cartos and tanks recently as I seem to see everyone using them. RBAs seem a little out of my league right now so my next question is, what direction should I go in as far as attys, clearos, and cartos go?

3. I've tried alot of juices. Mainly Volt, Niquid, Jamesons, and Perfected Vapes. The first hit that I take when testing flavors is always amazing. After a few days, however, everything starts to lose its flavor. I can switch off between a couple of flavors but they just don't have that tasty-ness to them anymore. Its almost like they get watered down. Whats up with this?

1. If you don't want to spend tons of money finding the perfect mod just buy a Provari. I wish I had bought mine first.
2. I really like the no fussiness of the Evods.
3. Juices tend to loose their tastiness after your taste buds get used to them. I have many juices. Some sweet some tart and some just plain tobacco flavors. I rotate them through out the day. Some days this works better than others but it does help keep the flavors stronger.

Hi

As far as taste, you didn't say how long you smoked, but your sense of taste may still be wonky for awhile - or may always be. It took me 2 months before I could taste anything other than strong menthols and mints. Even after a year of vaping there are many subtle flavors I can't taste or taste ghastly.

The MVP is vv, so what else are looking for in an APV?

1. slow down you can only use 1 mod at a time at least have time to get tired of a mod b4 your off buying another 1 or in a couple of years you will have room full of wasted money
2.dual coil carto tanks are cool for a while (cut a slot in them with a dremmel tool)they give good vapor and flavor , vivi nova is good and also the protank v2 is good all of these hold 2.5ml to 5ml which should last all day or at least most of the day when you cut down on your fiddling ( filling and what not) it gives you more relaxed vaping time
3.juices.....you might have what they call vapors tongue ( do a search here on ecf its been covered a million times) for me i swap juices every 2-3 days i get bored with the same juice i tend to keep 15-20 flavors that i use through out the month or so

Don't get me wrong! I love both of my mods! I just like having a wide variety of options to choose from. :D I've had my eyes on the Kick 2 for a while now and as soon as they're in stock I'm grabbing one for my SB. I just like to have stuff...lots of stuff >.>

I'm just aggravated recently because I love Jamesons juice but it's so expensive and the taste doesn't last long. I'm on the search for the perfect vape! :vapor:

I'm still looking too. I only have one juice I really like and have it in a number of different devices. They taste just different enough in each one to give me the illusion of variety.

One mod at time? Lol! I have 4 sitting in front of me in rotation, everyone has their own style that makes them happy' :)

I have been vaping for less than 2 weeks and I already have 2 Ego twists, a provari mini, a silver bullet, a bunch of clearos, 2 IBTanks, a boat lad of cartos and about 50 bottles of juice. Do you think I have a problem?

Hmm, when is that new DNA20 Futura going to be released?

I didn't go quite that fast, but if you're having fun :) I like different systems, so that's what I rotate. I like cart tanks a lot, but I'm feeling too lazy to fill a carto right now, so I've got a Protank on one tonight. One is a bottom feeder and one I'm dripping. The 4th currently has nothing on it, since I'm trying to get up the energy to fill a carto tank.

I am just totally stoked to have stopped smoking after 33 years of poisoning myself. I already feel better and have stopped coughing up a lung every morning.

if you've got 10 minutes to spare, you can build a decent RBA. when i made the jump from cartos to rba's i started experiencing my juices in a whole new way. bolder and pronounced flavors. it was night and day. dont get me wrong cartos are plenty flavorful but rba's push it further. when i build my attys, i feel like i am one with my pv. its vape zen...

hahahahha

So what about changing tanks/buying new ones? Do you guys use a tank until it drops or do you use it for a few weeks and get a new one?

I have 12 IBTanked pyrex tanks and a few clearotanks (Protank and iClear 30). Each one has its own flavor. Cartomizers are changed in the cartotanks, and the wicked heads of the clearomizers are exchanged when needed.
