Hi, all. Been a while, but I started vaping mid-September '12 with Volt long batteries & XL cartomizers and some coffee flavored liquid from somewhere or other. Set up worked to get me from almost 2 packs per day to around 1/2 pack per day. Woot!

Then, Jan 17, I had surgery that required a three day hospital stay and decided to use that as my quit day, figuring nicotine withdrawal would be a hell of a lot easier on a dilaudid drip... and it was. Haven't had an analog since 1/16 at 11:45pm. Woot!

That's two weeks ago and everything was going fine, then yesterday the cravings to smoke hit... HARD. No massive stress, eCigs all working, still liking the coffee flavor... wth? For literally two days straight, I've been having to fight the urge to go buy a pack of real cigs and the eCigs are just not doing it for me anymore. All of a sudden I want more throat hit, more vapor and the eCigs that were so like "real" smoking are just so NOT like "real" smoking anymore. Un-woot.

So, I've spent all morning researching "what comes after the slim eCigs" and now I'm on information overload and confused as hell on what to buy next.... so here's what I want... please tell me what to buy. I promise I won't yell at you if it's not perfect.


  • I work at the computer at home, so I literally vape all day and night there, but I do take it with me when I go. I really don't care what it looks like or how big it is, as long as I can carry it in my purse and leave the house without getting the urge to kill someone because they did something stupid while I was jonesing. The mass of sheep are not going to get any smarter, so I need a better way of dealing with them.
  • I want good throat hit, but even more, I want FLAVOR. The ecigs have this thin, warmish spot at the very back of my throat for a few minutes after I vape that feels nothing like smoking. The flavor barely lasts til the vapor is exhaled. Not satisfying. For those of you old and/or country enough to understand, it's kind of like the difference between chewing honeycomb and gum.... the honey tastes good at first and it's chewy like gum, but it's short-lived and in the end it's just not the same experience.
  • I don't want to have to fill cartomizers anymore; it's a pain in the .... and I swear I can taste that filling/stuffing they put in there, even when it's not dry - I don't like it. I read about people just dripping in a few drops in and vaping it... yeah, that sounds good to me.
  • I'm tired of charging batteries all the time. I'm one of those people who doesn't like to drive somewhere unless I'm staying twice as long as it'll take me to drive there and back. That's the nerve these little stick batteries are hitting with me... they have to charge for 2 hours to last maybe an hour and a half, so I'm constantly getting no hit, then swapping for the next one in line.

Let me know if there's anything else you need from me to help get me pointed in the right direction, please! Appreciate the help!

Get a big batt VV system, a tank atomizer head. You will have lots of power and juice storage.

I use the Provari, but I need indestructible. It's worth the money, but you can get big batt variable voltage for less money.

For a head check this out:

GotVapes VISION ViVi NOVA™ 3.5ml V2.5 REBUILDABLE TANK [gv-VIVINOVA-TANKV2.5] - $14.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

Your juice problem is a more complex one, and it's the one I had: Everything tastes like a toothpick after a while. You need to look into strong flavors. I DIY for this reason. I make it as strong as I want it.

Most skinny ecigs users have to move up to something more after awhile. They are a good starting point but usually become unsatisfying after awhile. Since you will probably end up with a VV mod that's what I would get now. Save yourself some money experimenting with anything else. You could start with a cheap Lavatube or Apollo Vtube, or better yet a vmax or zmax or even better a Provari. You didn't mention a spending range so this is a low cost, mid range and high end list.

As far as juice and throat hit, you may need to increase your nic level to get the TH and nic satisfaction.

Tired of filling cartos....you need a carto tank. That's all I use now. They hold a lot of juice and never a dry hit. I would scrimp on tanks. You get what you pay for. Pyrex glass tanks are the best such as Phiniac or IBtanked tanks.They won't break, fog or crack with any juice you put in them. If you are tasting the filler in a carto it's because the filler material isn't wet enough. This won't happen with a carto tank if you have the right size holes in the carto for the juice you are using.
