Hi everyone!

[Mvgratz]

I'm on my second week of being total "tobacco free"! I smoked for over 20 years. After watching a couple of friends and family members die of tobacco related diseases I stopped smoking. I couldn't handle the patches (vivid nightmares), the gum tasted like chewing a .... out of the ashtray. I turned to smokeless tobacco patches. After getting yelled at for 2 years by the "boss" I happened to be watching the new movie "The Tourist". I saw an electronic cig for the first time in my life actually in use. After 3 days of hard research I made my first PV kit purchase. (KR808D-1) I wasn't overly impressed with the avaliable prefilled carts. I googled how to refill carts and found this site. I've spent many hours reading post after post here and have learned alot from you all! This forum is full of helpful and compassionate folks. I'm happy to be a part of the community!

Welcome to the Party Mvgratz. You have made it past the hardest part! Vape on

Awesome! A Tourist-inspired convert!

Vapor4Life.com's stuff is KR808D-1. Did you get any of Vapor4Life's carto samplers? I like their WOW tobacco sampler - only had a couple so far. I enjoyed the WOW 555 (nutty somewhat sweet tobacco) and the WOWbacco (a deep tobacco cocoa blend). I also have one of their Tobacco Shop samplers and a Mixed berry sampler to try.

And I've been vaping Backwoods Brew's Vanilla Bean in a carto for 3 days.

Glad you are here.

Glad to have you here, Mvgratz!
I too, tried the patches, gum(yuk), etc.
The kr808, good blank cartos, and a variety of e-juices should keep you satisfied for awhile.
Keep avoiding the analogs and best of luck in all your future vaping endeavors!

Welcome and congrats MVgratz!!! Wait till you see the dark side - like, "Stalking the Mailperson", or "DIY. ACK! I just ordered 500ml of flavors!", and always remember the mantra:

Extra atties, batts and juice

Welcome and congrats MVgratz!!! Wait till you see the dark side - like, "Stalking the Mailperson", or "DIY. ACK! I just ordered 500ml of flavors!", and always remember the mantra:

Extra atties, batts and juice

All ready have made 4 large purchases. 3 to e-juices suppliers, and 1 for "4" extra batteries,case,DIY supplies etc...! Gesh, thought it was supposed to be CHEAPER! I know once I get a good supply of the necessary accesories the costs shouldn't be as bad as the $6+ price per/pk here in Florida. And even if it cost double what the analoges costs I feel the health benefits would justify the expense.
Now I've got to figure out how to cut the sweetness down on the premade juices I have purchased. Maybe a few mg's of nicotine level down as well. (I bought the 36mg juices) I guess I'll just have to get a bottle of PG base, small vials, and start drop by drop to get the desired tastes.??? Any sugguestions from you DIY'ers would be much appreciated since I can't posts in the proper forum to get answers to those types of questions. (The juices I have got are all mixes of 50/50 down to 80pg/20vg) I assume since I have read that VG is sweeter tasteing base that I should use PG to cut with...

Hi everyone. My name is sonny, of course im new to the forum. I vaped for a while with a p.o.s. e cig from the gas station. Worked good for a while then crapped out. My wife wants me to quit smoking so now im in the pursuit for a reliable mod.

 

[Eclipseti3]

I've done a good bit of research and ive decided to go with the reo grand. Sure wish i could just buy one, instead of waiting around for a email hoping i'll get the opportunity to purchase one.

 

[Eclipseti3]

It kinda aggravates me that everyone uses the reo grand open sale thread for social networking instead of concentrating on the reo. I thought thats what facebook was for.

 

[Seabrook]

Welcome Sonny. You've come to the right place. Check out the modder's forum -- there's a lot there. You can make your own with step-by-step instructions here or buy one from several suggested placed. p.o.s. = piece of sugar, right? LOL. Hope you find what you're looking for. Happy vaping.

 

[Eclipseti3]

I was going to purchase the glv2, but i've really got my heart set on the reo, to the point where color is no issue.

Welcome to the ECF. I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale really missed the "reservation" pricing when I moved. DIY is great as are e-cigs in general; initial costs may be a bit high (but I was a 3pad smoker so I could spend a lot and still be cheaper than analogs). Once settled the overall costs go way down, but the enjoyment goes way up. I can never remember spending hours perusing the cigarette racks trying to decide what type I would want to try this week .

 

[Eclipseti3]

Yeah, lots of sugar
