Hi My Name is Raquel... and I'm a smoker.

[RaquelR]

I had my last cigarette about one week ago.

In 2010 I had a TW Tornado type ecig - back before the days of this cool 5 click on/off battery stuff I've been finding now, but got crazy frustrated with the atomizer/cart crap and eventually gave up and went back to analogs.

Well.... I was bored and randomly googled ecig's and saw how much they've changed it's CRAZY!!!!!

So... I just placed an order for a pink Maxi Roughstack with carts and a tank - can you say low maintenance?? So excited to start this again. (I know the Roughstack isn't super new, but the tanks are to me and I dug carts before - I tried a V4L one, but got irritated with the costs)

Anyway HI!!!!!

If you're interested in ditching cigarettes permanently, you're totally on the right track. I smoked about a pack a day for more than 40 years, and I started vaping with the idea of just cutting back on tobacco ... in less than two weeks, I had totally switched to vaping, and I can honestly say I've never once missed tobacco. My daughter occasionally lights up an analog when we're together and you'd think it would be tempting, but it's anything BUT!!! Seriously, even if you're not totally committed to quitting tobacco, once you get into vaping it might just happen by itself (as it did for me!). I'm with you on needing low maintenance - I just go with refillable cartos and pitch 'em when they're worn out. It's really simple, relatively cheap (compared to tobacco anyhow) and the variety of juices available is mind boggling. Anyhow, congrats, and I betcha you're a former smoker in a very short time.

Awesome I'm so glad to hear that on the cartomizers... I'm hoping it will be my golden ticket this time - since I can get tank cartos now!!!

Thank you all for the welcome!!!!!!

I have a Maxi Roughstack and want to let you know (if you don't already) that to use a tank , you will need a 510-510 adapter in order to have clearance to fire the top of cap mounted switch.

 

[RaquelR]

Yeah I stalked a ton of videos/threads before I ordered Plus the place I ordered from helped me a TON, but thank you for the reminder... can't promise I wont bug you if I run into any issues.

Hi Rachel lovely to see you here. Welcome to ECF and back to Vaping.

 

[JuicerJoe]

Welcome and Congrats!

I'm in the same boat as you, I'm one week smoke free today and loving the new e-cigs

I got an eGo twist and a few clearomizers to start out, I love having one tank that's easy to fill and lasts me all day and the 1000 mAh battery has yet to go dead on me, I just put it on charge when I go to sleep.

I got a traditional tank coming in the mail, ordered it from Valley View Vapes today and can't wait to try it out.

Welcome to ECF !! the changes in the past couple years is nothing short of amazing. You noobs don't know what it was like in the old days....we had to walk to school and home again, and it was uphill both ways...

Raquel, if you get a chance, try a Vivi Nova tank. I'm using them now and loving them. No cartomizers to mess with. Just unscrew the top, fill the tank with juice, screw the top back on and vape. No leaks, no fuss.

 

[iwhodunit]

Welcome, I am new to. I just started vaping about 2 weeks ago. I also use tanks and quickly found out that it can be hard to get the cartos past the o-ring's without ripping them. I would suggest you use a drip tip that is about the same size or skinnier on the end of the carto. There are also some places that sell special tools, but why spend the money if you already have a drip tip that will do the same thing. Good luck and vape away!

Welcome and congrats on your new vaping kit!

I hope you find it as enjoyable as I and everyone else here!

I recently came back to vaping from a year ago before I knew about all this great vaping equipment, and I will never go back!

Good luck to you!
