I got my first e-cig at Wallyworld. It was a FIN (?). Then I tried Greensmoke, a little better but not by much. Then an ego/clearomiser, then got a Vivi Nova Mini, then a Spinner/cartotanks, & now finally found my vaping happy place w/my Provari & RBAs. I've learned most of what little I know about vaping from right here on ECF. This site is amazing.

I actually do know my product and others as well. I have gone to other kiosk and asked them questions that they should have known. :) Ridiculous trying to sell a product with out knowing what you are talking about. My first was a Blu from walgreens, was going to buy there kits but decided with a LavaTube for my first. Now I am at a Provari.

Enjoy

I've only ever seen 1 kiosk anywhere in NJ. I had tried the NJoy rechargable (months before) & did OK with it, but it didn't get me off analogs. So, 1 day I saw this kiosk at a mall. I had just gone in for lunch, I was working at a nearby place. I might have fallen for the spiel, but the guy running it was also running the remote control heliocopter stand & he had a customer there. So, I escaped. When I got home, I looked up ecigs on the internet, discovered ECF & the rest is history. I still bought some overpriced - under qualitied products, but I quit smoking after 3 days & I've never gone back.

I first tried stick style PVs about 3 years ago from a brand who's name will go unsaid. It was okay but didn't really click for me. I just did not like it also I was expecting to go from smoking to vaping in one go. So i tucked it away and went back to analogs. Then a year later I tried V2, something about it just told me to give it a shot. I ended up really liking it and slowly replaced my smoking with vaping. Eventually I found my way to Vapor 4 Life and that was the real company for me. I still think one of the reasons I feel back to smoking was because I went to other companies for the early model tank systems that were such a bust.

Now I have new updated gear, better tanks, and could never see myself smoking an analog again. It feels like a life time since the last time I smoked.

Oh yeah, I also encountered a very aggressive kiosk seller at my local mall. I will not lump all kiosk sellers into one, but this guy embodied the worse traits for the lot. He called my V4L Titan junk and my juice was junk and tried to sell me on something that tasted like chalk dust and felt the same. Needless to say he got a quick lesson on manners lol.

just so everyone knows i do sell a cheap one emphasize the 1 in that part. but i try and figure what the customer is trying to get out of theirs like typically a firefly basic non vv model 8 -10 battery life but for the people that are seriously interested i push our mods like the e-vic tesla tap out the ones that they will be hands down satisfied with and i give an honest opinion about all of the liquids i have tried we have nearly 100 flavors from 36mg to 0mg but i use it as an opportunity to give them the best possible experience out of an e-cig and my first time was at a truck stop it broke when i got home

Bought a couple blu disposables and then moved up to ego twist. Been vaping for almost 6 months now. Glad I found the twist right away because its cheap and effective. Have bought 2 others since but my original twist is still going strong. Vaping it right now, actually- dripping some DIY rwhy4 - got the recipe off this site. I wish every new vaper could get a twist right off the bat. Best 25 bucks I ever spent.

I fell for the mall kiosk guy's spiel. I ended up with 2 ego 650 mah batteries, 2 clearomizers, 2 bottles of SERIOUSLY crap juice, a charger, and a case for like $90. Oh, and I had to drive almost 2 hours each way to go get it ( Sometimes I suffer from GOTTA HAVE IT NOW! syndrome. Sue me.) In this instance, the Gotta Have It Nows! worked out for me. By the next day, I was down to about 2 cigarettes a day. Stayed there for a few weeks, and I haven't had any in 2ish? weeks. While it's good to know that I can go to a closer store for emergencies, I try to shop online. Better prices, and the people in the store don't seem to know too much about what it is they're selling, unfortunately.

I had read something about ecigs back in 2009, and went online and got me a white cloud system. I liked it but coughed a lot. Like many here who first started vaping, I had thought it was the vaping but it wasn't, it was my body's way to get rid of years of smoking... So I stopped, but not completely, went back and forth with analogs. Then a friend lent me his Provari to try, and no matter what I stuck it out, perhaps because I loved the taste and the vapor production, and over night, it completely took away the need for analogs. Roughly a month later of serious coughing and asthma attacks, it cleared. I used to have to nebulize 2-3x a day due to allergies (and possibly analogs), but since then, my nebulizer just collects dust. I've been in martial arts since I was five, and it has been great to be able to work out for hours without having to deal with asthma induced by exercise and having clear lungs. My best experience with vaping is with rbas 0.8 to 1.5 ohms on ss 400 mesh with various mods (both the provari ((1.5 ohms)) and mech mods with ((<1.5))).

honestly ditch the twist and get something with some muscle behind it you will be beyond satisfied it will change your life like an e-vic tesla or provari thats when you begin to open your eyes to the vaping world is with the twist so why not take a good look at the world and upgrade
