First time poster, though I've been reading for a few weeks now.
Three-ish weeks ago, my other half and I made the transition from analogues to e-cigs. in doing so, ECF was a really useful resource for us. Thank you ECF and posters that post on it, for being that resource. It helped alot in making many of the decisions that one inevitable faces in such a transition. Before reading here, we gave mistic e-cigs a half hearted try for a short time a while back, but they just didn't cut it, and actually taste worse than analogues.
After much reading, we settled on halo g6 starter kits, and they were pretty decent quality, though my other half has inherited my batts and the other halo goodies (other than my torque 56 - "my cold dead hands" as far as that goes). The reason for that, is that I was a heavy smoker for 26 years. not just heavy in how many ciggs I smoked in a day, but also heavy in HOW I smoked a cig. I was one of those guys that took BIG drags and inhaled them deeply. So the transition to the e-cigs has been perhaps more difficult for me than it has been for my other half, in that sense.
That led me, after more reading, to getting an elite 808 and some clear and easy 2.0 clearomizers. When the elite is fully charged (assuming I'm vaping torque 56), I can get the kind of drag I like to get, though it tapers off as the battery discharges over time. This has led me to getting my hands on a passthrough VV ego style batt, which should be here tomorrow. I went with the SLB eGo VV mega V2 - and I'm really looking forward to vaping with it. For now, I'll be vaping with an 808 adapter and using clear and easy 2.0 clearomizers from cigeasy with it. Technically its not a passthrough, if I understand correctly, but, if it can charge while I have it sitting on the desk between pulls, thats enough, for now at least.
Eventually, I'd like to try some higher voltage vaping, which is why I decided on the eGo VV mega V2, even though I wont be using it for higher voltages right off. I didn't want to "under do it" like I did with the 808 style, or be quite as limited in what direction I could go to the extent we were with them.
Anyway, I'm roughly three-ish weeks into vaping, and fairly satisfied thus far, though my criteria are still not met completely.
I have the taste part down - torque 56 IS my all day vape - I love it.
Taste was a big criteria. I expect that is the case for everyone.
The second criteria, is delivery in the amount of a pull I'm looking for - and the elite 808 does that mostly, though I'm hopeful that the ego vv will surpass my needs by a little.
One criteria that I have been trying to get a handle on, is getting the most vape from a given amount of liquid that I can, and search as I might, I can't seem to find much discussion about it. I know its here somewhere, you guys seem to have all the bases covered, but I can't find it. I've seen threads about clearomizers being juice hogs - mine definitely are compared to my carts, but I'd like to learn more, and would definitely welcome any suggestions or links to discussions about the topic.
Anyway, wanted to check in and say hello. We are three weeks in now, and thats all it took to truly understand the "battery shuffle" so often remarked about - and understand "stalking the mailbox" lol.
