Help a newbie please?

The reason you cannot make a new thread is that you have made over 70 posts ( I hate that rule ) and this is the newbie forum and only newbies can post new threads here. I think they figure if you have made 70 posts you aren’t a newbie anymore. ( even though I certainly am still a newbie )

Thank you Rosa! I didn't even know about lining up the ovals, GREAT ADVICE!

Ahh, I see. Well that does kind of suck because I too am still I newbie. Oh well!

Yeah I am a newb too... but a very very happy one thanks to Rosa and several others here.

I have no idea where they are in St Louis, They visit me more often than I visit them and they move occasionally LOL

Fenton sounds familiar though, I will ask as they will all be in my area in April for a wedding.


let me know if you like those flavors from LF, I have been sort of looking for a reason to get something from them... but honestly am happy with what I have.

here is a tip... if price is important to you, I have yet to find a less expensive place to get Tanks and Atomizers for my unit anyway than Mike and Carols internet store.

I’m not affiliated in any way, just been looking for bargains... and found them there specifically for the eGo-T

Thank you for the recommendation Astronomer, I am always looking for different sites to try different juices from. Currently I am waiting for my LF and Gourmet Vapor juices. When they come, I am going to review each flavor and make a video and I'll post it here.

I just LOVE the excitement of a new vaper!! Congrats and best of luck to you both on your new vaping life!

Well as I am working on not smoking, I am kind of stuck on one flavor that is working for me

Robacco menthol from BlueMist

I have tried a few others, but this is the most satisfying to me... for now anyway.

So I am sticking with what is working for me.

Yeah, since I started Vaping 2 days ago, I've really only had one flavor (had the original tobacco flavor filled carts, but I cleaned 4/5 of them out and vaped the last one) which is the Smooth Menthol from LF. It's a good vape. Now that I've been dripping I can really taste the menthol alot better. The TH is very nice. I can take a little hit for pleasurable smoking (which I do while on the computer or playing my Xbox) and when I NEED a "smoke", I just take a nice big hit and I am just fine. Excellent vapor production. The taste going in is good, nice and minty as I said but the aftertaste is meh. It's not necassarily bad, but probably won't be my permanent liquid. I can't wait to get the other 9 flavors I ordered. I imagine that mixing some other flavors with this menthol would be surpreme, but I'll see when they all come in.

The greatest thing I've noticed so far, with this 18MG Smooth Menthol, I use it all day and I've barely dented the 30mL bottle I bought. This leads me to believe that I will definitely be saving some serious cash once I find a flavor or two that I really love and will use all day. (I'm not saving anything right now, I am going on a spending spree )

it works, i stopped after 20 years smoking 2 packs a day. I also heleped 4 other friends quit this way.
try it, if you are really serious about quitting, one thing though, dont expect it to be exactly like analogue smoke, there is a bit of a learning curve. after a few days you wont want to smoke analogues again.

Okay, here's my first little video demonstration of my Joye Ego. It's only around 5 minutes long and it's sole purpose was to show my friends and family members who I couldn't visit in person the e-cig. I will be making a more detailed review of all of the liquids I try this week along with my Ego and each company I ordered from but for now, what do you guys think? Did I miss any super vital points? Anything I should add in my next video? Any input appreciated, thank you!

I would look at the New Members forum where MistressNomad has made a series of great videos for beginner vapers and vaping on a budget. They are GREAT! They will tell you everything you need to know about beginning vaping. With a $100 budget, you can do quite well and probably have money left over. I ended up spending about $90 when I ordered my started kit from AquaVapor. One of the main reasons I chose them was that they were local to me and I liked the idea of being able to see someone in person if I had problems or other issues. But, I recently ordered supplies from China (which I was VERY heitant to do, but I couldn't resist the price). Everything arrived very quickly and I would definitely order from them again (Bestecig.com).

I would recommend a 510. I have both a 510 (that I ordered from AquaVapor) and a KR808D1 that I ordered from Vapor4Life. Of those two I would recommend the 510. The 510 also seems to have the most options for third party supplies to save you money over time.

As far as refilling - DEFINITELY YES!!!! It is SO easy, especially with cartridges. But, I prefer cartomizers (the cartridge and atty in one unit). They are also very easy to refill. And if you ever have any questions, check the forum, or just go to YouTube and there are tons of videos - if you are a visual person and need to see it done - I know I was). If you opt for cartomizers, make sure to order extras. If you decide to use cartridge + atomizer, make sure to order an extra atty, as they will wear out. I find that cartomizers give more flavor and better TH.

I wish I had a great juice to recommend, as I am still trying to find the perfect one that will get me off analogs 100% (but vaping has helped me decrease my analog use - I smoked about 1 to 1 1/2 ppd of ultra lights). Thus far my favorite is Velvet Vanilla from Velvet Vapors. I ordered 50 PG/50 VG blend. She has GREAT sample pack options where you can choose 5 flavors and each one can be a different blend of PG to VG. You also get to select all your flavors from her endless library. Many companies that offer sample packs have the flavors already selected for you. My second favorite is the VG WOW vanilla from V4L. Not much of a TH, but great flavor and vapor. If you are looking for a nice tobacco flavor, I would recommend FreedomSmoke USA's Wyatt Earp. They included a sample of it with my order and I had heard it was nice and I was pleasantly surprised.
