For me, I'll never use anything but the tank from here out. 13 days in with it. Stays charged 8 to 12 hours and it's like dripping all day. If I had to use the others, I'd probably go back to cigs too. It's hard enough to quit cigs. Got my juice from BWB. Best so far, but not like I envisioned. Anyone tried Mrs. T's Bakery juice?

I have only tried the fruit flavors from Mrs. T's. I honestly like the one's from My Freedom Smokes better, stronger fruit flavor. I haven't tried any of the sweet ones. I didn't like the real sweet liquids until a few months ago, but since my taste have changed I might try some.

Tulsa!
Hi,
You already dealt with Rob and Michelle at Vapor Kings, so that can be your source! I live in Tulsa and zip over to their shop in Sand Springs all the time. They do have all the ego batteries and atomizers and carts that you need. I personally have a couple of regular batteries (650mAh) in different colors (they have black, stainless steel, and pink) and one large one (1000mAh). I use the tank cartridges, so I get the cone atties. I also have to quit smoking sooner rather than later, have MS, so don't need to make myself even weaker! I started a few months ago with a little m401 pv that I bought at an Indian smoke shop, but found out quickly that they didn't have a clue about vaping. They told me that a five pack of filled carts was the equivalent of smoking a carton, and charged accordingly. They carry no empty carts, no extra batteries, and don't know anything about e liquids, dripping, dipping, how to clean an atty, proper inhalation technique, and the million other things that I needed to know to do this vaping thing successfully. I kind of messed around with my little mini for a while (it's actually got a good throat hit and good vapor, when everything is going JUST RIGHT), and started diving into the world of vaping. I educated myself relentlessly, watched numerous You Tube videos, and lurked around all the forums and checked out as many vendor sites as I could handle.
When the tank system came out in the ego, the tornado, and the riva, I believe, I realized that that was exactly what I needed to help me quit smoking. I was a fairly heavy smoker, and one of those "nervous" types. I think I have some kind of oral fixation! I need an e cig that can handle almost constant vaping. I ordered the Tornado Tank through Totally Wicked, the prices are pretty good, I think. The tornado is the same as the ego, they are interchangeable. I buy replacement parts here at Vapor Kings, saves on shipping! The tank atties are also $2 cheaper than TW. It's also great to be able to grab a juice when I let myself run low, or I just want to hang out with other vapers for a while and "talk shop" and get more answers and tips. One thing I do now is use a low resistance (LR) cartomizer with the ego battery. Jeff showed me how to use a drip tip to refill the carto and as a mouthpiece on top of the carto. It can get really hot, so the tip is a must-have for me. I was warned though that the LRs can kill ego batteries, so I only use the same one just in case. The carto gives an amazingly strong hit right to the back of my throat, and the vapor is enormous. Sometimes it's too much, and then I use my tank. The tank is excellent, just the right amount of everything I look for in a pv. The bottom line for me is that now I have something workable that can replace cigarettes for me. In 3 weeks I have reduced my analogs from 2 packs a day to less than 1, sometimes just a half. I am so stunned by this that I'm afraid to talk too much about it, don't want to jinx it!
So, very long story short, Vapor Kings in Sand Springs is the only OK vendor I know of. From my own experience, they have good hardware prices, the juices are a bit steep, but they are very personable and helpful. They will stay with you and show you what you need until you are satisfied. It's also nice to see a physical display of all the products instead of just pictures on the web.
I have been asking here on our Okie Place whether anyone is interested in meeting somewhere comfy to vape, have a drink or coffee, just to chill. I'm very interested in doing this and wonder if anyone has a suggestion. I think it would be great. I know of a few coffee houses where one can even hear poetry! TG:vapor:

Tulsa!
Hi simba!
I am new to this , too and also got the tornado tank. It's absolutely the best. The battery at 650mAh (milliamps?) is 5 times longer lasting than the average skinny ones. tornado and ego are the same things under different names I found out, which is good because I can get parts for the ego locally. I even just bought the mega (?) battery at 1000mAhs and the charge lasts me all day long. I am an extremely heavy vaper because my cig habit is pretty heavy at two packs a day. Now, after 3 weeks, I'm down to 1/2 to 1 a day. I keep babbling about this, but I feel my life coming back to me. I had myself convinced I'd get lung cancer because I'm too weak to quit. This stuff is life saving.
The tanks are great! There are some tricks though. Watch Scott's video on the Totally Wicked home page. It's very important. Also, there are good tips here on ECF on how to clean the atty.
I'm in Tulsa and OKC is a bit too far, unfortunately. I'm trying to get with some vapers here in the Tulsa area.
Thanks to all of you for your support that helps me keep going with this. TG
Anyway, the

Hi Tank, nice to meet you. Thanks, I'm going to try to clean one of my old attys. Your so lucky to have a store in Tulsa. I'm planning to drive up there some day. I bought my first 510 from Rob. If my current atty's go out, it will give me a good excuse. I've been hoping the OKC people will get together. Keep up the good work on not smoking.
 
More Alien Visions flavors:

Craveloupe (PG base)(I think it's a melon/cantaluope blend), very nice ****
Chai (PG base), a smooth 'green tea' flavor, I'm still getting used to it but so far so good ***
Pineapple Pulp (PG base), slightly tangy and a tad sweet but I like it ****
Gorilla Juice (VG base), slightly sweet light tobacco flavor, excellent! *****

Alien Visions ROCKS

From nHaler.com:

555 (PG) a very nice for dripping tobacco flavor, ***1/2
USA Mix (PG) an excellent tobacco flavor! I like it a lot ****1/2

Is there some reason the OKC area folks aren't having a meet somewhere? I'm new, and just found the Okie group (yea, people I don't have to explain the PV too). I would LOVE to meet a few others that are close :)

Hi nice to meet you. I am in Enid so either one would work for.....April is to busy for me though.

Sorry Kate but we are a little unorganized and do not have as member as other states. We will eventually get there.

Hi PT :) maybe something for May????

I am in southwest misery -- i mean missouri - and i could possibly do a tulsa or okc meet if anything gets put together.

:laugh:
