Hey all!! Iz a n00b!!

[Spastic Cat]

Hello everybody who decided to read this!

I've been kinda ghosting around on here today and
I have to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the info!!

You guys are awesome! So helpful!

I started vaping in Feb after smoking for waaay too many years. I originally ordered a kit from V2 (can I put that??) and I haven't picked up an analog since. Recently I discovered that I had BARELY discovered even the teensyist tinyist tip of the e-cig iceburg. WHOAH BUDDY.

I feel like my life is fixing to get interesting!!

Welcome to ECF! Yes, it's kinda like high school around here ( In a good way). You have your skinnies, fat batteries, wood mods, shiny mods, bottom feeders, box mods, tanks, ego and ego clones, vv, etc. Its a lot to take in at first but you will soon be speaking the language.

Welcome Spastic!

I got off cigs with the V2, but found their cartomizers costly, so am using generic models now refilling with e-juice bought separately. But whatever works for you is great!

 

[byggd]

Welcome! Yes you can name suppliers and yes you can spend TONS if you go nuts

I just (this week lol) started filling blank carts myself. It's not too bad. It's def cheaper but I'm a friggin disaster so for me it's just plain messy. I try to be super careful but it never fails to run down the lil tube thing and leak all over everywhere. My desk is totally covered in nasty looking spotty paper towels hahaha. I am having a blast trying (way too many) different juices!!

V2 is a KR808D-1 with overpriced parts. You should also be able to use cartomizers from Vapor4Life, Bloogplanet, SmokelessImage and Halocigs G6. KR808D-1 is the most popular 2-piece. V2 just is not the most popular vendor. They also exaggerate about their batteries being 4.2v. All KR808D-1 and 3.7v batteries are 4.2v unloaded fresh off the charger. But they are called 3.7v batteries, not 4.2v.

With a KR808D-1 manual battery you can use a standard resistance DSE901 atomizer and drip tip (LiteCigUSA.net has them) to test eliquids. If the drip tip is plstic or delrin, you can also use it as a comfortable and easy to remove mouthpiece on the end of the cartomizer instead of the endcap. If you add liquid to your cartomizers, be extremely careful if you have automatic batteries (autos are most easily damaged or killed by juice leaks). Always take the carto OFF the battery before add liquid and make sure it is not going to leak before putting it on the battery.

Ego-T too? You are jumping in with both feet! now you have the two most popular threadings. Did you order eliquid? Newbs are the ones who get caught short on liquid. I hate to see that.

As accessories for Ego T I recommend a standard 510 atomizer and 510 drip tip (the ones I mentioned above are 510/901/KR808D-1) for testing juices and dripping. And learn to use Boge cartomizers (the simplest and most popular cartomizers and I use thin juices with cartos - a couple of Vapor4Life WOW juices and other juices that are PG w/ 20% or less VG). The cartps will be a great backup to the tank attys/tanks and are good for flavors you want to keep totally separate. I can get about 10 days use out of a Boge carto but you have to keep cartos damp or they will singe. I fills blanks with 18+ drops, clean it up, let it settle on different sides for 15-20 minutes and then just vape it and keep it damp.

Tanks - I think they like 30% or less VG though some 50/50 juices may work. PG is thin and lets through the most flavor, nicotine Th and nicotine irritation. VG is thick and dulls/smooths everything PG lets through but adds thicker visible vapor.

BTW VaporSearchUSA.com will help you find any local shops

Hahahaha!! That would be too funny! My mom actually goes back and forth between e-cigs and analogs so she's interested in all the mixing and odd paraphernalia laying around. But I can still get my brother to jump if I poke him with the flashy end.

You almost have your 5 posts in and can head over to the DIY section if you guys are interested in making your own.

As soon as I dipped my lil toe into the info pool I almost crapped myself. I was paying a crazy crazy amount of cash for stuff I could get waaaay cheaper elsewhere.

So far I've ordered juice from Tasty Vapor which I pretty much like all of them and I'm waiting on an order from Totally Twisted Texas.

Do you have any faves??

Less coffee helps.

If you do stay with TastyVapor, check out their "doublers", can cut your juice expenses down another 50%.

I like Tasty Vapor but the ones I tries left a lot of flavoring sediment in the cartos so I haven't used them for a while. I did like the Butter Cream and I know the German Chocolate Cake has a lot of fans. I hated the Spiced Rum (gag cloves - I am not a cloves person)

 

[Xaria]

I vape my own DIY unflavored (It tastes sweet, so I hate to call it unflavored, but it is what it is), so I am not the best person to ask. I am sure others will give you good advice on some of the flavors they use.

 

[Spastic Cat]

I saw that they had doublers but I didn't really look to see what they were all about. I was more like "Oooh shiny flavor descriptions" LOL I will def check it out tho!!

You are spot on about the coffee! *stares lovingly at her tassimo*

I got a butter rum from them that is sooo yummy! I also got a cafe macchato that tastes how a wet dog smells. Big BOO for that. I tried the kretek (clove) and it's either awesome or disgusting. Depends on my mood I think.

Doublers are just 0 nicotine juice. You get their regular nic juice, then 0 nic doubler of the same flavor and mix them, giving you 2x - 4x the juice for as low as a quarter of the price. And mixing is as easy as putting the different juices in a bottle and shaking. Check their FAQ page for mixing table.
