I'm less than 6 months in. I skipped cig-a-likes entirely but have tried a lot of stuff:

  • Halo Triton
  • Spinners & Kanger Pro tanks
  • innokin VV3/MVP + iClear 16 & 30S.
  • My first DNA Mod
  • Brief foray into carto-tanks
  • AeroTank
  • Another DNA mod.
  • Squape RTA
  • Rebuilding Kanger heads with micro-coils & cotton
  • Russian 91%.
  • Taifun GT (used, but real)
  • Another DNA mod.
  • More R91/KFL+ (real ones!)
  • A mechanical Bottom-Feeder with a Cyclone.

Right now my faves are R91/KFL+ tanks on DNA mods and the mechanical bottom feeder. Everything else has fallen into disuse. I'm starting to like the bottom feeder more and more. In fact, I'm starting to worry that the DNAs and R91/KFLs will fall into disuse if/when I get a second BF.

In fact, if someone made a DNA-30 powered bottom-feeder, I think that might be "Game Over". :D

Tried to quit a year and a half ago with ciga-likes.....FAIL. My fiance had purchased an AtmosRx and it happened to come with a CE4 so I started with that at the end of March 2014. Did not realize that the clearomizer would need to be replaced so I used it for 3 weeks and stopped buying analogs. Atmos is not a 510 connection and the clearos to fit it had to be ordered as none of the local shops carried anything to fit them. So I bought a ego with a 510 then a spare battery egot battery. Upgraded to a protank 2, and then stuck it on an X6. I know a LOT of ya'll climbed the vaping ladder but I hate stairs so I'm taking the elevator. Currently have a Maraxus clone, Patriot RDA and Lotus RDA, batteries, charger, ohm/volt meter.....ect on order.

Still waiting on some banana clones, Max, and a couple more mechs. Only used the cig-a-likes and ego for a couple months before getting my first regulated mod and the Russian. Quickly advanced from that point. Now have a bunch of mechs and high amp regulated mods and a bunch of rba's. Trying to get it to a mod for every rba, think I am almost there, lol.
 
Dabbled with convenience store cigalikes and hated every minute of it. Met a guy at work who showed me what quality vaping was like. Started with
-Kanger Evod and 900mAh ego.
-Kanger Mini Protank 3

Took the big jump to mech with my current setup
RSST RBA and Copper Nemesis

Now Im not so patiently waiting for my vapemail with an MVP 2.0 and Aspire Nautilus.

I started with an M401 ultra, those were the days. Quickly got an M401 pass through. When the Silver Bullet came out, I grabbed one of those, for those times I wasn't sitting right next to the computer. Got frustrated with cartridges and went back to analogs. There were no tanks or cartomizers in those days. Recently dug out my Silver Bullet and popped into ECF to see what people have learned in the past five years. Then I ran out and bought an itaste vv 3.0. and a handfull of different tanks. I'm trying them all out on both the Silver Bullet and the itaste. I'm loving the improvements. The technology has really improved in a short time. Hoping I never touch an analog again.

I delayed switching from analogs to vaping because I just did not know what to buy. With everything that's out there right now, it kinda overwhelming to a noob like me.

A vape friend came over and I set the laptop in his lap w/credit card and told him to get ordering. $75 and 2 days later I was vaping.

2x ego VV
2x protank mini
2x battery chargers
2x 15ml e-liquid

That was 3 months ago. Now I am the guy who comes over and gets a laptop dropped in his lap and told to "order me the right stuff". I'd donate my time to a complete stranger to get them started vaping and off analogs.

Man, that's a great story!

I skipped the cigalikes and started with a cheap no-name ego-style starter kit from a local smoke shop. When that battery died, moved on to a Kanger EVOD starter kit and really enjoyed that. Bought a couple of T3's for more capacity, then a couple of glass EVODs.

Now I'm rocking a Sigelei Zmax V5 with a Kanger Aerotank Mega, and I'm really, really happy with it.

I get juice mixing requests from fellow employees. Hey, can you make me a spearmint flavor? lol. Every day seems to bring a new vaper amongst us. Was going to give the guy smoking, after 2 months of cold turkey, some crap, but he's one of those ignorant sobs that was trying to tell me that vape was as bad as smoking a year ago, so just let him smoke, again. lol

I sorta went big from the get go. I bought a disposable Blu and thought it was nasty but liked the idea. I saw a vape shop while out oneday and stopped in. He tried to sell me a little ego starter kit. I handed it back to him and said "let me see that Vamo." An over priced Vamo, a few over priced clearomizer's and a few bottles of bad tasting e juice and I was on my way. :facepalm:

I then stepped up to a Provari (sold last weekend), a 26650 Seven22 and a bunch of Kayfuns. I still use the Vamo's to this day but never the clearomizers. I bought a mech mod clone and a dripper too but just to see what I was missing. The mech-mod/dripper thing really didn't do it for me so I'm doing the VV/WW mod and kayfun thing right now. I recently bought an Expromizer and think it's about the best RTA going for Vaping right now! With 1.5 ohm coil and 15W it brings out flavors in my juices I never knew were there before! When they get a USA vendor I'll probably buy a few more.

I started with an ego battery from a company called uno vapor.

It only lasted one weekend and fell apart in my pocket LOL.

I then went and got a vv uno vapor ego style which my girlfriend still uses. I got off of cigs with this device thanksgiving day last year.

Then got a vamo and used that for several months and is my back up. Usually pair it with the EVOD glass.

Now my usual setup is a nemesis clone with kayfun lite clone. Love this setup. I also just ordered hcigar's patriot clone.

I've just started really, been smoking for 20 years, I had one of those cig a like ones last year and was not impressed at all, although i suppose if you was gasping it would solve the problem, then last week I bought an EGO CE4 starter pack, got myself some juice from Vivid, Cappucino Cream and Citrus Fruit, LOVE the cream, not so in love with the citrus, the tank on the Ego was messing me around today, burnt hits etc, so i did some research and went and got an Evod 650VV with what I assume is an Evod tank too, from here wwwDOTno-matchDOTcoDOTuk (a local shop as I like to support my high st, and am a sucker for instant gratification) I am amazed by the difference, the first battery I got seems diddy in comparison, and I think i am going to properly quit smoking this time, thank god for Vaping eh?

Hi there here is my vaping progression with my batteries
First unit was a ego type G1 pen.
Second unit was a variable voltage (3 setting) kamery x6
Third unit was a variable voltage ego c twist
Forth unit was a vision spinner variable voltage
Fifth unit was a vision spinner 2 variable voltage
Sixth unit was a nemesis mechanical mod with kick
Seventh unit was the mvp2 variable voltage and watts
Eighth
unit was the DNA 20 clone black, variable watts dna chip adjusted volts
Ninth unit and my current unit is a red Cloupor DNA 30 variable wattage, volts controlled by dna chip, will sub ohm down to .3
*I've been vaping now for a little over 100 days. As for my atomizers, I progressed into Rbas rather quickly around the time I had my vision spinner. My two favorite are my taifun, and my kayfun out of my Rbas, rdas, and rsst. So that's my progression so far. What's next? Who knows? ?
