Any noobs feel like they over do it??

[Peezy]

No problems bro. That's a good amount of stuff from what you've described. Probably gonna need something bigger in the future since I'm sure your gonna be buying more stuff. This is an OLD picture of what I used to use to house all of my juice and cartos in:

sorry I had to do it

Gear+Urge=Purchase LOL

I never tried an atomizer on it, Im pretty sure I would flood it the first few times haha

And I will def check out the Reos more in depth.

I mean, even when you figure it out. When something new comes along and it looks good. The urge will win every time LOL Yea the Rev 2 does great with cartos but, it gets mixed reviews on how well it works with atties though.

The battery life might be good for you or not depending on how heavy you vape. So, it could be good for travel or you can use it to run errands or when you go out. It's nice not to have something that you might not care that much about if it breaks.

Definitely take a look at the REO. It's the most reputable bottom feeder on this forum. You should definitely check out the REO sub-forum sometimes. There's a fair number of Washingtonians on there including the moderator.

I had this same problem my friend. I was over niccing myself too and was up all nite. I finally got back on a normal sleeping schedule haha Im going to be ordering 12mg and diy lower levels. 2mg sounds perfect for evenings btw. Im very sensitive to caffeine and stimulants. And I do get heart burn too bud. We must have similar symptoms Jaka bc everything your describing has happened one way or another =)

And I draw just like you say. And the GGTS is amazing!

Yeah, you're well on your way to knowing just what you like! *laugh*

It's funny -- although the nicotine from ecigs makes its way into your system differently and metabolizes differently, the brain wants that nicotine so badly that most people instinctively teach themselves how to get the most out of vaping in a week or two. (Long draws with my throat while I breathe out through my nose so the vapor is cycled through my sinuses is what seems optimal for me.) Once you get over that learning curve, yeah, it's time to ramp down the nicotine in your juice, because you're getting it into your system more effectively and wasting less. I went from American Spirits to 36 mg to 24 mg to regularly over-niccing myself on 18 mg juice in maybe three weeks. I'm down to 11 mg day and 6 mg evenings now, but even that kills my appetite and keeps me up at night lately; I've gone as low as 2mg (DIY-mixed) recently and not felt any deprivation at all, on a GGTS with a 5v battery and the UFS tank. So how you physically draw in/hold/exhale the vapor, as well as the system delivering it, affects how much nicotine you actually get out of your juice, whatever it's labeled.

You made the right mistake, though -- it's better to get too much nicotine vaping than too little! Too little causes your brain to associate vaping with being unsatisfied. Too much seems teach your brain that vaping is even better than smoking and help the nicotine addiction reattach to the new habit. I wouldn't advocate overdosing intentionally, even mildly, of course. Headaches and heartburn, no fun. But if you're going to err -- and basically, everyone is going to err at first -- better to get a little too much and need to tone it down.

Yup! Once I pay all my bills I shop for gear. Its just automatic!

And yes no analogs!!

I find I fall into the trap of, okay I'll use a good size chunk of this paycheck and get everything I need to stock up on, juice, cartos, batts...and only have to pay shipping once....I mean how can I justify paying shipping multiple times, it seems to best get it all out of the way, then I won't have to worry about buying hardware for a while and I can just save all the money that used to be marked for analogs. Then next paycheck comes....and...well...it's still all so new and exciting...and.....THEYRE NOT CIGARETTES!!!!!! GET OF MY CASE!!!!

 

[Mac_206]

hi mac_206, I just started vaping on the 28 of Dec and I haven't saved a dime from my old (killer habit) I just look at it like I have a new awesome hobby

Hi tcolley65! Welcome to ecf! Im not saving a dime either =) And yes I actually call it a hobby

 

[Mac_206]

I started on December 1st and every one asks me "Are you even saving anything with that thing?!" I always respond, "Ya. My life. ::chuckle chuckle chuckle::" To be honest I haven't saved anything, but I haven't even puffed a cigarette. Since day 1 a just wasn't 100% satisfied with my vape experience but just enough to keep me away from analogs.

I started with an Ego-T type A atomizer. then switched to type-A LR attys. Then type-b LR. Enough to keep me away but needed something better. Boge 2.0's were next.. Then an epower kit since the battery life is incredible! And wanted a consistent voltage at 3.7. Then chibi tanks, XL ressurectors 1.7. Then Ego mega DCC's... Now I'm waiting for my 10 XL fluxomizers. This does.net count all the juices which I have at least 200ml and at least 60 of that I will never touch, cuz they just taste gross! Even though some people here like them. Every one is different.

Back to the topic. I haven't saved a dime. Probably spent just about the same almost 40 days in. But it's enough to keep me away from the bad stuff. I'm still searching for my all day vape juice with the best taste TH. Plus a hassle free carto, tank mod, ce2. I dunno yet! But I feel better and even began moving down from 26mg to 12mg. So its working! I'm happy that's weigh for me.

If you have the money to try other things than go ahead! Just be happy your not lighting up. As posters stated above, its a hobby, does not have to be a money saver unless you make it that. Kind of like collecting baseball cards or old coins off ebay. People spend the money to own things they enjoy. And I enjoy everything I see for pv's I want it all!

Right on! Yea I have a bunch of juices that ppl like and im like they ok.. And yes everyone is different. Everyones taste palate is unique. And I have not saved a dime either and I dont plan on making it into one yet =)

 

[Mac_206]

I couldnt agree more. Very well put. I hope that it remains this easy for us to do what we do.

So yeah its like I still am searching for that ultimate pv setup. But at least Im starting to know what my preferences are... I like tank fill cartos.. pain to fill but way better than poly stuff burning... Cant vape super sweet all day... like a more mellow blend... I mean how do we figure this stuff out without droppin some change on it. People ask me why do you keep buyin stuff... I thought you were gonna quit smoking? I reply I'm not smoking ... I'm Vaping ! But they are like I thought the whole point of this was to do nothing.... they dont get it I guess. I really do think that when Vaping goes mainstream this is gonna explode. Marlb... Newp... all of em are gonna try and grab a piece not to mention the government. This is all still in its infancy imho. What do you think?

Is that a pix of what you're vaping on? If so, where did you get it? I love it!

 

[CraftQueen22]

I go in phases. I go on buying kicks, then calm down for a while. Then someone posts a picture of something new, and I neeeeed it!

Well I started vaping 12/12/11 and pretty much have been ordering kits, juice and several misc stuff. I think I'm scared of the fda stuff so I feel i need to stock up. Im sure there are ppl that have spent way more but I've just been ordering like crazy. I only order what I feel are deals and from vendors I've done research on.

Like you I just recently started vaping, mid-Novemberish. Wish I had the money to order kits and parts and pieces, and JUICES. Nonetheless, I am totally obsessed... with research. I started out, like many, with a simple 510/atty/cart combo, then I moved to cartos after a week or so. LOVE! Next was finding a suitable battery that would last longer than 3 hours at a stretch. I think I did about 3 weeks of researching before deciding to get my kgo kit. And now that seems like all I do is research reviews and prices for different cartos, mods, juices, and all the rest. Research, research, research! My finace can't stand how much research I do on all things vaping... kinda funny since she was the one who got me into it to begin with! *MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA*

Hi all...

I've only been vaping for about 2 weeks now and I love it. But, like the rest of you, my debit card is taking a hit. I became interested after seeing my father-in-law stop a 30-year old habit cold. He showed me his 510 around Thanksgiving. Until then I'd only seen the gas station models (the short ones that look like cigs) and heard nothing but bad things about them. I was interested but not 100% on board.

Then, on a lark, I bought a Jasper & Jasper from QuikTrip - yeah, one that looks like a cig. It wasn't great, but it worked well enough for me. I still have the pack of Black & Milds I bought the same day. Two days later I ordered the Vapor Cannon from VaporNine.

Since then I've ordered juices, cartos, an extra battery... And, to top things off, my nagging, "stop smoking!" wife has asked me to order her one (with 0mg candy flavored juices).

I'm already looking at ordering another kit just to "see how it's different, dear". As long as I stay under $150 a month I'm still spending less than I did on analogs.

There are so many options, I have to restrain myself frequently.

 

[Teeto]

Its January! I usually get my tax money around these next 2 months.. not much.. 2k'ish best believe the better part of 300 of that is going towards a provari. At least! The rest will go to the secondary.. The bills! Haha Analogs were always a priority before, now vaping took its place lol. you can say it.. I'm obsessed and I don't care! :thumbup:

lol. A week or so ago, I bought a gas station cig to try it out. It was crap, but I saw the potential. Placed my first order on MadVapes for

• 2 manual 510 280 mAh batts, 10 boge 3.2 ohm cartos, a 6x 10 mL juices, and a charger

Then, decided after reading more that I wish I'd gotten lower resistance cartos, so I got

• 5x 2.6 ohm GoodProphets cartos and a drip tip

Before my first order even arrived!

My first order arrived yesterday, and I've been vaping nonstop since. Filled up 6 cartos, have gone through at least 6 charges of the 280mAh batts. Decided I needed more, so today I bought

• Parts to make my own USB passthru, a 2A USB cigarette lighter adapter, and parts to make a 14500 900 mAh box mod, plus 5x 2 ohm cartos for the box mod.

So, so far, I have either delivered or ordered enough for a passthru, 2x 510 units, 1x box mod unit, and tons of cartos. Only been vaping for TWENTY FOUR hours.

Yep! Thanks! It's my purple infinity pro with a dual coil carto tank and aluminum drip tip. I got the Ipro from electronicstix.com and the tank from gotvapes.com

Such good insanity ! I made my first box mod last night. I kinda overkilled it. Its a "puck mod" That uses 4 NiCad AAs. Sure its simple and bulky but It vapes harder than my Ego W VV. I mean I wouldnt use it in public, but the fact that I made it and it hits harder than my Ego W VV is satisfying in itself. Now that I have the tools extra parts/chipsets .. the sky is the limit. I really am coming along with my soldering and reading elecrical diagrams. I sound like such a dork. But Vaping really has gotten me interested in SOMETHING that isnt video games or tv or clubs. If that means I spend a bit more on this than I do on analogs... so be it ! ! ! I see all these banners saying how much saved... I used to pay 13.50/carton tax inc. x 3/month = 40.50/month. I spend that every week... but as time goes by the costs for me are leveling out. I love the creativeness of this all... beautiful wood mods ... solid aluminum mods... every gadget imaginable stuffed into a case. I really wonder where this hobby is heading..

 

[tcolley65]

Isnt this the truth *smiles awkwardly* [/QUOTE]

Hmm.. I believe it's kinda overwhelming e 1st few days when u get ur PV. Then u put some research in n say, hey, this cartomizer should work btr for me rather than refilling cartridges on my atty. Then u look up cartos n saw some tanks n say, hey, i can vape all day w/o refilling. Suddenly, u realized tt yr 3ml tank is puny n say, hey, i'd btr get some mega tanks or smtg. N while u're at it, u might as well get some replacement cartos for ur tank. Maybe a 5-pack, n suddenly u realized u might need 10! N then u do sm reading n realized sm guys do dripping, then u're back at attys, n ordering some delrin tips, a few stainless steel drip tips maybe 1 or 2 ceramic tips. When all tt is done, u reliazed tt vaping is great n decided to get another PV, or two. I got my PV last week and 3 shipping requests, 2 mass orders and $400 poorer later, am stalking DHL and EMS. I promised myself not to order anymore but fellow forumers keep tempting me (but i love u guys!) n i hv only myself to blame. It's like an itch tt u can't stop scratching, a bubble wrap u can't resist popping and a juice u can't stop vaping.
