"I've ordered a zillion samples from freedomsmokeusa. They do 3ml bottles for $2.25. I thought that was pretty good. Also, a friend recommended them to me."

This is where I've decided to order samples from. Seems like a lot of people like them. My boyfriend and I have way different taste in food so I imagine it will be the same with juice. Since I saved some money getting hardware I can spend a little more on juice which I'm happy about.

I just got some samples from Honeyville and I'm liking all that I've tried so far. Samples are now $1.69 instead of 39 cents for 5ml but that's still very reasonable. Here a link to the thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ssion/172137-39cents-5ml-sampler-bottles.html

Olliebelle,

I just wanted to add one more consideration. You may want to get some cartomizers to go with whatever you decide to order. As you probably already know, they combine the atomizer and cartridge. The advantage is twofold. First they actually hold a bit more juice than the standard carts. The second is that they are a cheaper route to go than an atomizer/cart. They are refillable and can last a fairly long time, but when the atomizer in them dies, you can just grab a new cartomizer. If you notice, atomizers by themselves can be a bit pricey.

And as an aside, if you begin to have problems you can swap the battery, and if that doesn't solve it, swapping the cartomizer replaces the cart and atomizer. That means if you carry a spare battery and a spare cartomizer, you have an entire complete ecig backup.

For that reason, I prefer the cartomizers (since I'm basically a cheapskate :) ) At any rate, I'd advise you to pick up at least a few cartomizers, if only to have as a backup in case your atomizer fails (and they will do that eventually)

I'm not sure why you are purchasing the 2 extra batteries when you are also ordering the PCC. I bought the Joye 510 kit with PCC which came with the PCC in the kit, so you don't have to purchase it seperately. Believe me, you really only need 2 batteries to start with when you have a PCC. Once one battery dies, you just swap them out and it will charge your dead battery while you vape with the other. The kit is 65 bucks and with the drip tip added to my order, I was out of there under $70. Obviously, if you order liquid, the price goes higher. I just started with the 2 5ml bottles that came with the kit and ordered more later. For liquid, I definitely recommend Basic Forbidden, and for what it's worth it took 25mg liquid for me to quit. But YMMV. :)

It seems there's no talking you out of that size thing. I'll try anyway because the weight is just as important to feeling like it's a cigarette and no matter what you get, it's going to be a lot heavier than a cigarette. After changing out those batteries every couple hours on that crappy kit I bought the first time, the eGo was such a relief!!! It's not like it's the size of a baseball bat. It's about as big around as a sharpie and a little shorter.

Welcome to ecf and congrats on deciding to quit analogs.....Others have given pretty good advise for you so all I want to know is where is WV are you? I am in the eastern panhandle.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm on the opposite side of the state in Huntington WV. Our recent claim to fame was Jamie Oliver filmed his Food Revolution here. He chose us because we were picked as the fattest city in the US last year. Sad but true.

I saw the thread about their opening. Too bad I missed the 39 cent sale. The current price is still great though. I plan on getting a few from there to try. What was the best flavor from there that you're vapped so far?

If it is encouraging my guy just switched to the Riva kit from analogs. I think it's probably been about 6 weeks... His first comment was that it was bigger than he thought, and do not get him anything larger. Within a few hours that was forgotten and he's had 0 problems with the switch. He shows it off to everyone he runs into.

I see a box mod in the future here!!! :)
