I am sure most people on this forum know at least one person who vapes. Knowing other people who vape makes the vaping process so much easier, more efficient and I think much cheaper. The perfect example would be me, I cannot begin to tell you the problems that I have had with vaping. Mainly because I have no-one to get the correct info from.
I understand there are forums like this but nothing beats knowing a friend who can point you in the right direction. It has come to the point where I almost feel like going back to smoking. I never got into vaping for health issues. I did it for the money. I always felt great and I still do. I have been vaping for over 2 years and I feel no healthier now than I did then. I never thought that I would be running into so many problems though.
I do not even want to begin with 99.9 percent of juices that I thought and still think are just horrible. If I had a friend who vaped, I would have saved so much money and aggravation. This is why for about a year and a half I used just one or 2 cartos and the same 2 juices and that was it. I did not want to watch any more videos because I was just sick of watching reviewers telling people how great this juice was and how fabulous this mod is. I think they are all shills anyway and leave that to another day.
Now I decided to get into tanks for pretty much the first time after vaping for 2 years and of course the same problems I had 2 years ago have resurfaced and I find myself totally disgusted once again. I go out and buy a Protank 2 because Phil busardo was making these tank systems to be the greatest thing to come along since S&M.
I pay 20 dollars for it and ten bcc heads for I think another 15 dollars and for some reason every head burned on me when I know I was doing everything correct from watching his videos. I even go out and buy a provari mini with extensions for another 250 dollars. It gets so much worse.
I hear about the bdc coils so I go buy them with 2 adapters for the protank because of course the protank 2 does not handle the bdc coils without the adapter. I finally get the tank to work and after about a day I get the e1 error on the provari. Then I hear about the Great Aspire Nautilis that I buy from Viper Vape or whatever their name is. The 2 heads that come with the tank give me a dry burn after doing everything I can possibly do. Then on about the 2nd or 3rd time screwing on the top piece, the glass tank cracks.
There goes almost 40 dollars down the drain..I e-mail these clowns about what had happened and they do not even have the decency to get back to me. I did not ask for money but I just wanted to let them know what had happened. At the very least they could have sent me another glass tube. To add insult to injury they send me an e-mail to ask me my opinion on my purchase of the Nautilus. Great customer service to be sure. I ordered the glass tank and 3 more heads from another vendor and spent another 20 dollars.
This could never have happened if I knew people who vape. Now, I go out and buy an aspire bdc for 10 dollars and this works ten times better than the protank 2. I cannot tell you how it works compared to the Nautilus because for 40 dollars I did not even get one vape.
If I would have paid the 10 dollars from the beginning of all this I would have saved at least 150 dollars and a whole lot of aggravation.
The story is not over yet because guess what? The aspire bdc by itself does not work on the provari mini. You just get nothing. Now I have to figure out how I can use this aspire bdc on the provari. This would not be going on if I had another vaper to discuss this with. Also while all this is going on I miscalculate the amount of juice I have on hand.
I had to use my American express card and you all know how many juice vendors take American express. I wing up buying 30 mils of halo tribeca from some vendor called Modern Vapor just because they take American express. I know I am most likely going to hate this juice because I tried juice from them before and it was atrocious. I had to buy something but it has not arrived yet. Right now as I write this I have 1 mil of e-liquid. There is no place that I can possibly get juice today. I have juice coming from 3 vendors but I do not have it.
That is another thread I want to start how it can possibly take a week for a vendor to send you 1 ounce of juice. That is a disgrace. I have to go shopping now and I have to make a choice. Do I buy one of those disposable pieces of chunk for 10 to 12 dollars or do I just buy a pack of camel lights and be done with this.
I just wanted you guys who have friends who vape know how much better you are off then A Lone Vaper. Mad as Hell in Staten Island!
I just had to get this off my chest. If anyone has any idea what I am talking about, I would love to hear it.

I did find a store in Staten Island that is open today - 
So many leaks, so many tweaks, so many utter failures, I can't list them all. It would have been great to have someone to discuss them with prior to purchase, but that has not been the case. I've settled on a Vision Vivi-Nova, highly modified from what comes in the box and re-coiled with decent wire and wicks.
