Wow, a secret thread and I never venture over in this part of the forum.
Okay, then- in order of my Vaping secrets.
1. Find a good mod you like and can use well- in my case a Reo...I have 9 of them.

2. Buy good quality batteries and a charger (
RTD Vapor) if you use a mod- such as AW batteries and Pila or Xtar chargers and learn to measure voltage and ohms with a voltmeter- you need to do this ocassionally anyway as batteries wear out, etc. (RTD also has these cheap- you only need the cheap one!).
3. Buy juice as cheap as possible- DIY is not hard. I buy nicotine juice and VG in bulk (
Best Electronic Cigarettes and E-Liquid - MyFreedomSmokes.com) and add just drops of super concentrated flavors from
E Cig : Joye eGo & eGo-T | Boge Leo | Cartomizers | E-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes | eGo Tank. Both places often have sales- like right now, Vapingzone has 20% off- keep an eye out! I vape more than 6ml of juice a day and I have figured that it costs me about a quarter a day (that's right- 25 cents)!!
4. Get into rebuildable atomizers. Sure, they cost more initially, but save you money over the long haul. The Phoenix is a cheaper one- some places even sell it for under $10 (for the A-7) and it rocks!! I do have other preferences that are more, but the cheap ones work fine and are magnitudes better than disposable attys. I guess along with this, would be learning to build good wicks/coils and these are very cheap as well.
5. Don't become someone's e-cig pimp. If you help someone start then let them buy their own juice, device, etc. I cannot tell you how many I've lent out, become their juice supplier, etc...People need to ultimately become self-sufficient. Let them come here to the ECF and find answers- explore their vaping future, etc. This will save you time and money and not cutting people off at a certain point will waste your precious resources and money.
The above has worked for me- I'm a happy and contented Vaper!!!
