Before the New Year I experimented with the Blu and it was a waste of money - ditto with some other disposable. Best thing I did was find these forums and followed the pros type advice. Got myself the Ego and like they all remarked it was a great setup... course, as others mentioned my love for vaping has got me now yearning for something bigger and better. But, I still really like my Ego Twist for portability and going out and about. When I am home and just chilling then something like a pipe or cigar size seems just right. I also really like the fact there are so many options - you can do lots of tinkering with some rebuildables or I can just grab a quick Vivo/carto and run out of the house. Ended up getting a "murse" to carry supplies and subsequently getting razzled by some friends. But the bag carries my supplies and is really great for holding juice and spares. Ego C twist lasts a good part of the day for me when working and requires practically no maintenance - think I paid less than 40 bucks (4 days of cigarettes here in NY) for the 2 batteries, two tanks and a charger. Still experimenting with juices - though I am partial to Mt Baker Vapor cause they always send me a freebie, ship fast and most of the flavors have been good. Am going to do some experimenting on making some of my own next - watching videos, got a freeware program and have been reading the forums. This site has been a tremendous resource for me - very few trolls and there seems to be a shared spirit between fellow vapors.
