So I spent s few weeks researching and saving my pennies so I could get what I really wanted. Finally placed my order on Friday afternoon.

Went with the Joye Ego-T and decided to order from Cignot because I have read so many wonderful reviews about Vicki and her great service and speedy delivery. I was not disappointed!

I got the Ego-T type B kit, plus an LR atty. Also added a box of cartos in case I ran into problems with the tanks as I know they can be problematic. Also got a sampler pack of Menthol just in case the juice order I put in with another vendor took longer to arrive.

Within an hour of placing the order I received a shipping confirmation with tracking number. Unbelievable! I emailed her to thank her for the incredibly prompt service and almost immediately she sent back a nice note reply. This lady is tops!

Anyway, the order was coming from IL to WI and lo and behold, it arrived Monday safe and sound. Woohoo! I was ready to.... I hoped anyway. :blush: LOL

Opened everything up and started to get one set up. Definite newbie attack here... got one all together, blew out the atty, filled a tank, screwed in the batt.... and nothing! Uh oh... now what did I do wrong? :facepalm: After about ten minutes of fiddling and blondness, finally dawned on me to check and batt and or course it was dead. Popped it on the charger (it recharged just fine) and tried the second one. Before I knew it I was vaping away :)

Only glitch was the second atty, the tank was leaking so I checked the wick and it was set very low. When I finally got the plate popped out (actually hubby did... see, they are good for something... LOL) and reset the wick, still wasn't right, will have to fiddle with it and hope I can get it right.:confused:

Have been vaping the little samples I got from Cignot, 100% VG menthols. I know people say that you don't get a much TH with all VG but I was about choking from it... :) Maybe it's because although I was a 25+ yr PAD smoker, it was always ultra lights and I was never a heavy hitter on the cancer sticks.

So, plenty of TH, tons of vapor, good flavor from Vicki's samples. Would order them again as well as would order from her again in a heartbeat.

Now just waiting on my juice order. Ordered from a WI company, kind of expected it to show up today as it shipped out Monday but for some reason, even though it was shipped UPS, the vendor set it up so that UPS would drop it at the USPS closest to their nearest UPS hub, then it would go to my local post office, then to me. Weird. Added at least a day to the shipping. So it is scheduled to be here tomorrow. The juices are 70PG/30VG. Really want to try some PG to make sure I don't have any problems with it before I order some more.

So all in all, I'm really happy with everything. Still had cigs left when the PV arrived yesterday but haven't touched them. Kind of keep wanting one, maybe just because they're there but not quite ready to get rid of them yet. Kind of like a security blanket, I know they're there if I need them but I really don't expect to.

As many times as I have quit this is the first time I really feel like I might be able to stick with it. Much thanks to all the wonderful people in this forum who offer support, advice and encouragement to everyone. The information here has been indispensable. I already feel like I got a second lease on life, or at least a chance for one :)

Good deal, dearae...sounds like you did some good research and made a smart purchase alright...the attys are kinda finicky on the tank systems for sure...weakest link if you ask me...good idea getting some cartos. Here's hoping you enjoy the ride...
Happy vaping...

Oh, and same for you, Marcie... Welcome aboard...

Thanks Marcie and Erfmann. And yes, I did do alot of research. Really love the idea of the tank but wanted to try to cover my bases in case I had problems. Now just have to keep the positivity up despite little glitches. Definitely easy to see how people can be discouraged when they get equipment that doesn't work properly or they're uninformed. So much to know, easy to get info overload... LOL

Once you get a good ejuice. I prefer juicy peach, before I did tobacco flavor now I find them repulsive. Anyway i find ecig a pleasure to smoke. All people enjoy pleasures in life, and an ecig with a good juice is just like listening to Bach on a early morning! I don't have no plan to quit myself! but I am sure glad i am off nasty analogs!

@madizmo - my life seems to be a series of misadventures to I always try to plan ahead... LOL Can't say it always works but at least it's worth a try :)

@BestLion - that's my quest now, a good juice. The sample I got were nice and just what I wanted to transition from menthol cigs to e-cigs. Now it's time to have some fun and find some yummy juices. Have 4 new one due today; Arctic Ice, Espresso, Chocolate Truffle and Apple Cider. Figured I could use any of them alone and could also get some interesting mixes. I'm finding the PV a pleasure too, no stinky smoke or ashes all over the place. Now I just have to start some serious housecleaning, only two days and the smells are already getting to me!

@CBB, thank you. I've been amazed at how wonderful and helpful everyone here is, now if only the real world could be so nice ;)
