Hi! New Member/New E-Cig Smoker

[IndigoChild]

I suggest you either look at the Halo G6 or go to an eGo style. There are some places that have Automatic eGo batteries so all you have to do is put it in your mouth and drag off it, no button to push.

I needed that to start with so it simulated smoking. I still use my Halo G6 batteries and mini tanks some times when I'm working so I can just hold it in my mouth like I did with an analog.

The one thing I will say about the Blu brand is they do have some good flavors. I really liked their Cherry Crush and I haven't been able to find anything like it.

Yeah, their flavors are really amazing. Of all the setups I've tried - probably ten or more, I haven't found flavors as good as the ones Blu sells. The Pina Colada and Peach Schnapps are pretty nice. I'm thinking I'm going to buy the Halo G6, keep my Blu, and compare them side by side and see which I like better. The vapor pens and even the tanks and stuff seem a bit overwhelming to me - although I'm sure once you've bought it and read the instructions it probably makes more sense and isn't that difficult…

Edit: I never buy the tobacco flavored stuff and the taste doesn't seem to make a difference to me in switching over from tobacco cigs. In fact, I like the flavored cartomizers that are more reminiscent of hookah much better and it's even an incentive for me to prefer the E-Cig over tobacco at times.

Sorry for the late reply. I wasn't getting notifications of threads I had posted to.

As to the Halo G6. I'm still using mine, right now in fact. I just love the Halo Tribeca and mostly in a Halo G6 carto on a Halo battery.

Some of their other flavors I don't care for one bit. I also like Torque 56 and I add a little menthol to it.

If you go with the Halo G6 give the Tribeca a try. It does have some sweetness to it.

The Blu flavor I really like is the Cherry Crush and I just got some Black Cherry from Johnson Creek which is just about the same. Johnson Creek make the liquid for Blu.

As to the MODs tanks and whatever I have them also. I still use the Halo stuff as it is more like smoking a cigarette. I use the Auto batteries. That way I can stick it in my mouth and just suck on it. With the Manual batteries you always have to have a hand on the device. That isn't like smoking to me. Maybe in the future I will get over the auto reflect habit of the act of smoking, who knows.

I ended up getting the Kanger Evod starter kit - I'm really loving it!

Oh yeah, this is my third day without a cigarette!

Glad to hear you like the Evod so far. My daughter and I "graduated" from cigalikes to Evods in March, and really like them. Make sure to get yourself a glass tank like the Protank Mini 2. Some eliquids such as cinnamon, citrus, etc., are "tank crackers" and can ruin plastic tanks. My daughter found out the hard way why I insisted on waiting to order the Evods until we could also get ourselves a couple of Protank Mini 2s - about a week after we got the Evods, she loaded her tank with Mt. Baker Vapor Wild Cherry. She had not seen the warning on the site that that is a tank cracker. Ruined the tank. Lesson learned.

Good for you. Keep it up, vape more.

My tanks are gurgling, bubbling and sometimes leaking out of the holes in the coil part, but only when the level gets really low. I also noticed the little fabric piece in the coil has turned from white to brown quite quickly and sometimes little brown fibers get sucked up into the mouth piece. Both of them are doing this so I don't think it's a defective issue. What should I do to deal with this until I can afford to upgrade my tanks next month? I have been emptying and cleaning them out when they start to gurgle, even if I have to waste a little fluid, as it just seems like common sense to not try to keep using them when they're doing this. Not sure what's causing it. Oh and it never happens while the tanks are full, half-full or 3/4s full. Just when it gets near the end. I put the fluid in carefully, too… I haven't dripped it down the mouthpiece and everything is screwed together correctly and tightly …???
