Hey!
As you can tell by my profile, I used to hang out here a while back. To make a long story relatively short, I posted here for a while when I was getting started, then stopped hanging around due to being a busy college student. A few months after that, I switched to snus. I got tired of fighting with batteries and the inherent messiness and fuss of 510 dripping, and snus was a simple and cheap alternative. But by now, the advent of the PACT act has caused snus prices to nearly double, and the constant uphill struggle of brushing my teeth 3+ times a day to prevent staining has worn me out. I dug out my e-cig box the other day, and have been happily vaping ever since. Going from 10-12 sterk portions a day, to 1 or 2, has really reminded me why I enjoyed vaping so much in the first place. Additionally, things have changed a lot since I was here, which is why I'm posting looking for some advice.
1. The eGo looks like an amazing rig, and is one of the big reasons why I'm so confident about switching back. It seems to me like the removable PT is going to completely solve my battery woes while still keeping me portable, and I like the fact that the cone apparently keeps mess to a minimum... With my order, though, I'm going to be buying a new set of attys. My 510 ones are on the fritz, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't get a new kind. Specifically, the 901 is a rig I was always interested in. I love the large amounts of vapor that the 510 puts out, but I'm not necessarily too worried about TH. Just generally speaking, how do the two attys compare? Performance is a huge factor, of course, but I dislike constantly spending money on replacement parts, so durability's a big factor as well. Thoughts? I'm open to any atty suggestions really, 901 was just the one to occur to me. I'm not a big cartomizer fan.
2. I've also been looking at the eGo mega atomizer. How does it compare to the 510 or 901? I mostly dripped in the past, but I've also been increasingly curious about trying the blue foam cart mod. Does the eGo atty/cart work well with blue foam? Or does the stock filling work just fine? I've had bad experiences with filler getting singed, but if it's a problem that's been solved, that's okay too.
3. Back when I was vaping, American juice makers were just getting started, and Dekang made up the vast majority of all juice purchases. Fairly shortly before quitting though, I discovered Tasty Vapor and it was miles better than Chinese-made juice, so I'm wondering if anybody has some other juice vendor/flavor recommendations? Any of your favorites, really. I enjoy the sweet dessert vapes as much as the next guy, but I'd also be interested in flavored tobacco juices. Even after I switched to American juice, I still kept Dekang RY4 on hand, and I would love to find a well-done American remake of the basic RY4 flavor.
Lastly, I'm open to any general advice about getting started again. Anyways, sorry that this turned in to a novel, but I wanted to explain my situation fully. Thanks for the help in advance!
