... have I done? Newb on a roll..

[Spawner2014]

Hello vape world.
My compulsive behavior is at it again.
I like the smoking behavior and always have. I'm a no nic kinda guy by did the left handed for years.
Retired...
So I stumbled into this from a friend and now I've gone and dropped a little over a 100 on stuff. I have a vapor blends battery ect. And 2 standard carto's that came with it.
I started my ejuice experience with virgin vapors Swiss almond and Plesantly plum. At first they were weak but learned about steeping and after a week were getting good.
So I blew more of my cash on honeydew, black cherry marshmallow, maple syrup French toast and blackberry vanilla swirl. I suspect the honeydew and maple toast will mature well but the two dark fruits tast like I'm toaking a bandaid.
Along with this order I f'd up and ordered vivi nova carto's. 6 of them, thinking this would improve my flavor gain. I think I got the almond and plum dialed in but I'm missing that sweet taste that I was getting from the almond from just the budget carto. Frustrating.....
So now I'm looking at five pawns sampler or gambit at least while the VV steeps.
Also pondering a clearo setup (I hear gets better flavor).
Any suggestions before I continue to waste time finding answers on out of date reviews and endless googling.

Hello and welcome to the forum Spawner. Glad to have you here!

Is your battery variable voltage? Do you have a backup battery?

 

[Spawner2014]

Yep, 3.3(where I usually sit at) to 4.8. No back up battery!
Thanks for the warm welcome Susan!

Hi and welcome newb here to forum but not to vaping ....I would recommend getting a backup battery if funds permit nothing worse or more stressful than having a dead battery and no other options

 

[Spawner2014]

So in regards to a battery, they are all pretty much are the same as far as twists and regulated voltage. Aside from style and size? Right?

Welcome aboard
Yes, they all look the same, but as with all things there are good, better, and best. To say which is the best, I could not it's been too long since I used that type battery. Within a couple of weeks of starting to vape I jumped to an Evic and 18650 batteries. Hopefully someone more familiar with current ego's will pipe in.

Welcome Spawner. I have been vaping for about a year total, but slipped up for a while. I got my first ego kit about a year ago and gave it the first shot. I did alright for a while, but eventually during the workups for deployment I started smoking again. The hardest part for me was finding a juice that I liked and getting over the new struggles with vaping such as leaking tanks and how to change flavors when you only have two clearos. Plus I still craved for a cigarette when we were in the field or on ship. Finally on deployment I stopped smoking for good and have not looked back or craved a cancer stick since then. Luckily I brought my tanks and the MVP 2 I purchased right after he egos.

Good luck dialing in your vaping experience. I ordered so much gear and juice when I was on ship just trying to find out what I liked. I started with the egos, then moved up to the MVP2. I got bored with that and got the Tesla and a SVD. Today I just got my Istick in the mail and I am waiting on my Vapor Shark rDNA 40 to get shipped. Luckily on ship a good amount of people were looking for gear so I sold the egos and the MVP. I personally like the iClear 30S tanks, but now I am getting in to rebuilding. There is a lot to it and I am still not good at it, but at least my RDAs are working okay. I cannot say the same thing about my Taifun GT, but eventually I will get it working. It is awesome when it works, but I have to work on my wicking.

Bottom line it seems that there is so much to learn and there is always something new so it is kind of a hobby now that I also keeps me from smoking. Can't beat that. The downside is you can get carried away with gear and end up spending some $$$. Good luck man and enjoy the experience.

Groundball77;
Thanks for your sacrifices whatever they may be.
I appreciate your response, it's thurough and honest.
Thanks to all of you for the warm welcomes. I like it here already.
I'm pretty overwhelmed as to where to turn. I'm into the sweet flavores and I guess like most after the best taste.
Thanks!

From the last best place.

Flavor varries from tank to tank and their realy is no best. You will find that out soon as everybody pipes in with their faves. It is all about personel preferance.
Been threw the gambit and am now hooked on drippers.
Be patient you will find your niche.

Lots of people swear by the Kanger Aerotank, but at least as many people swear on Aspire Nautilus with BVC heads, it essentially boils down to trial-and-error between different clearos as everyones liking is different from someone others, someone might love the Kanger Aerotank whereas someone else whole-heartedly hates it and swears by Aspire Nautilus w/ BVC heads. And then comes around the dude who suggests a rebuildable for a beginner and hates both Kanger Aerotank and Aspire Nautilus hahaha.

TL;DR version:
Get one that you think is the best one for you, if you don't like it, no biggie, give it to a friend and get another clearo or just leave it as a backup when everything else fails and move onto another clearo model to test
