First post to ECF - Vaping for almost 4 months

[ConnieKaye]

15 weeks, 4 days, 3 hours, and 25 minutes ago, I started using my first electronic cigarette. I wished I had found ECF before I started. It would have saved me a lot of money and heartache. I paid too much for a crappy ecig that worked for a week. I started doing research and found some great forums on facebook and bought a Joye 510-T and then an Ego-T. Now I have a Big Kazoo. I am looking into some other mods and can't decide where to go from here. Not sure i am ready for a variable volt, but maybe a tube mod next. Looking at the Empire mod. Happy for any suggestions!

I am definitely seeing this as more of a hobby now as I have my nic level down to 6 mg. I really enjoy the flavors and meeting new people. Most of all, I am feeling better than I ever have. After 25 years of smoking and seeing my grandfather die of lung cancer and seeing my boys follow in my footsteps with the cigarettes, this is the best investment I have ever made. Have already converted my 2 boys (ages 19 and 24) and my twin sister. Can't wait to convert every smoker I know. Anyway, glad to find ECF. Vape on!

Well I bought The Megalodon and Im quiet happy with it so far.
The design, versatility functionality and craftmanship is exellent!
Nothing better than a manual mechanism, promising to last for years!

If you havent allready, theres a lot of nice reviews on the tube

Yes, very happy about that. I wish ecigs were around back when I started 25 years ago, so it makes me happy that my kids won't go down the same path.

I was looking at the infinity. I didn't realize that was variable volts. Will have to check it out again but I like the looks of that.

Here is a link to one that looks like it might still be for sale since the post has not closed. The post is a month old though.

If you like the looks of the Infinity then you might check out the Indulgence V2 3.1. It's variable voltage and affordable. There's a pic of it in my signature.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

 

[ConnieKaye]

Thanks! I will check those out. Indulgence is beautiful. I am looking for an inexpensive tube mod for my next purchase to try out. I don't want to spend a ton of money quite yet. I saw the blue lightening/gold rush but out of stock. =(

Welcome! I was lucky to find ECF before I bought anything. Like you I got my son off analogs too, I gave him my eGo kit and bought an inexpensive (but very well built) 3.7v box mod. With LR atty's for dripping and LR cartos for when I'm working it does everything I want. I could see from the beginning that my new hobby could become expensive if I let it but for now I'm very happy where I'm at. I probably will get a 5v box mod to experiment with in the next month or so but I think that will be it as far as devices go. The juices are a different story though,that's where my money will go I'd like to try them all and experiment with DIY recipes.

If you are interested in checking out the Indulgence check out Vapor Junction at Indulgence : VaporJunction, E-Cigarette Supply

They have 2 kits, 1 for $59 & 1 for $104.95. I had found the Ultimate kit cheaper at another website so I emailed Travis at VJ and ask if he could match their price because I'd rather do business with them. Here is his response:

"Ours kit does come with the carrying case and the 5 empty cartridges, they
are not listed because they come with the standard indulgence kit as well.
Ours also comes with the additional atomizers in different variations to
complete what the Indulgence is intended. Which is to find out what you
really like, i.e. What atomizer preference, what voltage preference, etc.
With that said, that is still an outstanding price on the unit and if this
is the kit you want you should pick it up. I am sorry but we can't match
that price. Best we can do is offer you this month's coupon code which is
summerheat and good for 15% off your purchase which brings the kit cost to
$89.21 and you get the additional atomizers."

I calculated what the shipping would be at both sites and VP Indulgence + ship was only $9 more than the other site but you get all those extra atomizers so I decided to go for it. He responded to my emails in less than an hour very late at night. I liked that. Total cost + ship was $95 Priority Mail. That is pretty darn good for a mod with all those accessories. I am not trying to persuade into buying something. Just telling you of my experience but I don't think you'll find a more affordable mod as beautiful as this one anywhere. Don't for get the coupon code. I haven't received my Indulgence yet so I can't speck for the device but I've read some real good reviews. Hope this helps. Good luck.
