Cheers ECF. After some serious lurking on the forum, I've decided to introduce myself.

I'm 31 and have been a pack a day smoker for 13 years. After passing by an e cig kiosk in a local mall, I decided to come home and do some research. Like most noobs, I wanted a starter kit that looked like a cigarette. In a haste, I ordered a starter kit from Green Smoke as the reviews looked very promising. While waiting for my new kit, I purchased a 21st Century disposable e cig from the gas station. It tasted awful and vapor production was weak. After doing some more research, I stumbled across this site and saw the err of my ways. It became apparent that the Green Smoke kit was a rip off, and there were clearly better options.

A day later my Green Smoke kit arrived and I already knew it would be returned. To be fair, it blew away the 21st century e cig in terms of flavor and vapor production. Nonetheless, the steep price and lack of customization quickly turned me off and so I began the search for another starter kit.

A day later I ordered my eGo starter kit from The Vapor Room along with a sample pack of juices. It arrived and whoa- now this is vaping!!! Since that first "toot" off the eGo I've come to realize quitting the analogs isn't just a pipe dream, it's a reality.

I'm now down to 2 analogs a day and plan on losing them all together soon enough. Lurking this forum has provided endless information, advice, and inspiration. Thank you ECF and I look forward to getting to know you.

First of all, Welcome to the forums. It seems you learned the hard way as most of us did but it seems you are on your way now. I use the Ego myself with dual coil clear cartomizers instead of the cartridges so you may want to give those a look. Also, if you are looking for something that looks more like a cig then you should take a look at the Volt (smokelessimage.com). I use both the Ego and the Volt (occasionally when out and about) and am very happy with both of them. Good luck to you....

Hi Bama!

I've been running with an eGo Tank for 12 days now and I have not touched a single
analogue since I started. I used to have a 30-day habit for the last 33 years and I
really don't miss them. Vaping is so much more interesting with all the different tastes
to explore. Initially, it is certainly not cheap, especially if you want to mix yourself and
try lots of different flavours to find your own favourite, but in the longer term, this is
really going to save me a small fortune!

I've not tried any of the cheap e-cigs. Here in Sweden you can't buy e-juice with
nicotine, so e-cigs have not really taken off here yet. My research, which included some
serious lurking here, lead me straight to the eGo Tank.

Happy vaping!

SWEET HOME ALABAMA
It seems that several of us have started out with this particular brand and quickly changed to something better. Also the second choices were the same too, EGo/EGo-T I am like the others....
Started out with Green Smoke/Green Puffer a few days later (after searching forums) bought a E-Go from Puresmoker.com They had a sale on them at that time. Got it for less than 50 bucks shipped. 40 something for EGo then shipping. At the time a great deal. I quickly bought a DIY kit from DIY Flavor Shack by E-Cig Smoke Store and I was on my way. I did smoke a few cigs a day but then wanted away from that cigarette taste. I do a lot of fruit flavors and berry flavors. Dawn @ diyflavorshack.com has a great deal on samples for $1 you get 5 mls no nic, but I just add 1/2-3/4ml of 100mg nic and have 12-18mg nic juice for $1. She also has a lot of other flavors and supply's so look them up and find out what your missing when it comes to great flavor and great CS. Her prices are good too.
Sorry to get off subject.
I am also in Alabama (Fayette) so help neighbor. Welcome to the ECF
