Hellloooo Everyone!

[Victorian]

Sorry. That was very cheerful. I will try and tone it down...

ok, now I have a cup of tea

New here and new to vaping. Couple of weeks ago I purchased a disposable e-cig at Walgreens (blu), then a couple at the gas station. Invested in a kit at the local tobacco store. It is a Cig2o. I am liking it and am looking forward to getting some refillable cartos and some fancy liquids. Portland, Oregon doesn't seem to be much of an e-cig town but I know there are some out there, just have to find them!

Been a light smoker on and off for 18 years (took a break for pregnancy and nursing for my two kids). I am one of those people that likes to smoke but doesn't like the ash/butts/smell etc. so this seems like the perfect solution to me.

I am looking forward to wandering around the site and learning lots of information. I feel that I am finally getting a hold of all the terms. There is so much more to learn than "Camel Light 99s please".

I am also looking forward to purchasing one of those vaporizers that look like little telescopes in metal. I don't know what they are called so let me know if you know one that is great!

Welcome Victoria, take some time, look around, and you'll love it.

Welcome, Victoria. You've come to the right place.

Little metal telescopes? Presumably, you're talking about a mod. Almost inevitably, you'll grow into one of those. The gas station crap generally doesn't satisfy for very long.

Welcome to the ECF.

 

[Ladypixel]

I'm wondering if you're talking about an ego/Riva/kgo type little metal telescope, or about a different mod. Either way, spend some time here reading before you move onward to a different model. I personally like the ego/Riva type of setup for its variability, size, and its inexpensive price, but at the same time, everyone's got different tastes in what they find works for them. There is no one solution, so read up!

Regardless of where you go from here in your ecig choices, congratulations, and welcome to ECF!

On another thread someone mention Pravari. I goggled it and that is what I am talking about.

I bought enough of the pre-filled cardos for a month so i figured I would have read enough by then to decide if I am happy with what I have or if I want to mix things up. I am also hoping to attend a get together at some point so I can see what everyone else is using.

 

[Victorian]

oh, and thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

 

[BluSwatch]

If you can meet up with others and even try some of their PVs, that can make all the difference.
Some things look and sound great, but may not work for everyone.

Hi and welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dlsw]

Welcome and congrats on switching. Meander around the site and you will find quite a few who use and love the Provari. (Not me, I am still using the V4L Vapor Titan that I started with)

This could quickly become a hobby for me.

I love sitting at my computer desk smoking and not having to worry about the smoke/smell. It's lovely.

Reminds me of when I was 20 and we had a big house with lots of people that all smoked inside...oh, the good old days. We probably smelled really bad!

 

[sailorman]

Telescope sounded like a GG. I thought you were aiming high, lol.
Welcome, though. You'll get as many recommendations for a proper PV as there are people on this site.
Look at a bunch of them. There are a lot of really nice options if you want an upgrade without jumping straight into a Provari.
If you want to get your feet wet with variable voltage, might want to take a look at the Lavatube or Tox type VV's.
They're about 1/3 the price of a Provari and will keep you from burning up cartos and attys, which is a common newbie mistake.

The Provari is a mod, at or near the top of the Pyramid.

The book on recommendations to newbies is to not advise quantum leaps—which a move from a gas station M402 or whatever to a Provari would be—but I don't of a necessity agree. If I'd gone for a Buzz (another variable-voltage mod) to begin with, I could have saved myself an expensive journey, bouncing from one devise to another.

Having said that, you might want to try one of the eGo/Riva types Ladypixtel was talking about before launching yourself hog-wild. You can do that pretty cheaply with one of these Riva Lite Bundles: Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Riva 510

Welcome to the forum.

 

[Nosha]

Hi I'm new here my self have been using ecigs for sometime now and took the long road .
It can get pretty costly so take your time and look around the forum there's a lot of go
advise here just wish I would have found this site a long time ago.

I'm going to offend a few people's sensibilities when I say that the provari isn't everybody's idea of the perfect vape machine.

Just take your time and figure out exactly what kind of kit you'll be comfortable using. Because if you don't actually use it, there isn't much point.

 

[PoliticallyIncorrect]

No offense taken here.

Voltage setting by means of an interminable series of button-pushings is less than perfect at best—and the busy tube styling with twin bottle-caps is right out of a 30s Frankenstein movie. But that's just me.

No PV is everybody's perfect PV.

I ended up getting a lovely copper colored joye ego kit from The Vapor Room. I am liking it so far.
