2 weeks....my first was an E-Go c twist 650, got 2 so i had a backup, about 2 days later I got the smok 1300 vv, that lasted about a week then I got the Itaste vv v3.0 and about 3 days ago I got the itaste mvp 2.0...as for clearomizer I started with the normal iclear 16 to iclear 30 and now i wont use anything except kanger protank II....but tonight i got a nice new drip tip 
Couple weeks on an eGo and some clearos, couple weeks on a VAMO, mech mods ever since my second month. 
I started with the standard e-go batteries a little over 2 months ago. About 2 weeks after that, I knew I was hooked and got a Vamo and ProTank 2s. I just got my Provari in the mail today and I am waiting on my carto tanks from IBTanked. I took it slow!
Started with a Blu on July 1, 2013 to see if I could make the transition to digitals - being a PAD smoker for 44 years. (haven't had an analog since the moment I got that first Blu battery off the charger, BTW). Bought a JC Vea 3 days later 'cause the Blu batteries just couldn't cut it. Stepped up slightly to an EVOD starter kit early Sept and immediately started with rebuilding coils and re-wicking. Bought a Provari kit with PTII early in October for home use and soon after discovered cotton and microcoils. Two weeks ago a Nemesis and RSST to try a genesis with SS mesh wicks (best flavor so far) and a short-lived experiment with sub-ohm (I will revisit that later. Awaiting a KFL+ tomrrow and looking for my next mechanical purchase along with a dripper. I still use the VEA out-and-about because it easily fits in the pocket and I don't have to worry about leaks. If I had to do it all over again, I would have skipped the Blu thing - everything else has been great! Biggest tip I can give is do your research with due diligence!!

I started with disposable blu ecigs from the gas station and used that for about 4 days before getting a blu starter kit which I used for users couple days. At that point I realized the cigarette look spikes just didnt produce the amount of vapor I wanted and went to my local vape shop to buy a kit of ego-c twists with some clearomizers. Id say I used those for 2 weeks before buying my first VV/VW mod, the Tesla. Within a week bought my first mechanical mod, the natural by smoktech but did not use it for quite a while for lack of comfort with my knowledge of using a device that was unregulated and took my time doing my research before using it. Iv made many purchases since then as there are so many different options and fun devices.
Hi congrats on your switch, I started out with a v2 ciz kit and wasn't quite satisfied, bought an ego and a Kanger T3 and was able to quit the analogs, every month I bought something new have a zmax, a Seigelei 13, 1 Atmizoo Roller and everything from a 3 vivi's, a Zen atty u, Russian 91% and a Kayfun Lite and a few in between if I had done more research I probably wouldn't have bought the three Genisis attys some are for lung hitters and some for mouth hitters, probably sell the Zen.
After nine months I went from $50 setups with ego batt's and vivi tanks to $500 setups with mechanical mods sub ohm coils and drip atty's.
Vape on my friend
would be faster if there was a vape shop anywhere around where I travel.. Regional truck driver, so online orders have to wait until I get home every couple weeks. Bought el cheapo claytons, (cig look alike) but batteries didn't last long and took forever to charge, so end of that week got 2 ego clones, in the last two weeks, gotten several different clearomizer types, and 2 more batteries (one variable).. need to get tanks, cartomizers with tanks, and a pancake globe for trying out flavors.
I started with an ego and a vivi nova tank, and been usin it for the past 4 months.
I figured it was time to upgrade after so long, and now im waitin on my first mech mod to come in the mail
I'm pretty slow when it comes to advancing, mainly cuz i tend to have "buyers remorse" with almost anything lol

I started vaping a month or two ago. Started with a Halo Triton kit, some juices (Halo) and a Halo Twist just to see if it was something i could get into (with the objective being to cut my cigarette intake down, my consumption level at the time of that purchase was between 0.5 to 1 pack a day).
Almost immediately i found that i did like vaping and when i was vaping i was not thinking about smoking. I decided to order some Alice in Vapeland juices and they only helped improve my overall experience (since the flavors were quite different than the ones i initially got from Halo). Since i started vaping, my cigarette consumption has dropped into the range of about 1-5 smokes per day without really any conscious effort to quit, only really by decreasing my craving to light up.
Fast forward to today and i'm planning on getting deeper in the vaping universe. I live and work in Thailand and do not have convenient access to all the supplies, and since ive had some issues importing vape hardware/software i'm making a big order for when i go back home this Christmas. i'm going to go for a provari mini, various juices, a few different types of tanks, RDA, attys, etc. (basically a 6 month stash that includes several vape-ideas i've read about which i want to try in an effort to enhance my experience).
I may find out in the end that there is not much else to gain by getting better gear, or i may find out that the experience can be even better, i'm not sure but i want to find out. Does vapor from a 50 dollar Halo Triton offer the same experience from a provari w/protank? to answer this question i going to need to experiment a bit. Everything i've tried to this point seems better and better so i can't stop now.

I started off with the disposaables. After seeing that I was able too get off the analogs I went with a Provari with a Kanger Protank. Been with the Provari since May
Hello and it seems like my gadgets surpassed my knwledge of vaporziers... I alrdy have 4 mods and about 8 different tanks.... if it dnt wrk for me or I got to messed w. It ill usually just go buy another one.... which sucks cuz when I useto smoke the only tool I needed was a lighter.... and this all accumulated in about a month n a half.... just like right now im eyeing a new toy alrdy but im fighting that urge to just go get it....
It really doesn't take long for this whole thing to become an obsession. I'm starting to wonder if there is a Vapers Anonymous meeting close by. But isn't it all so wonderful? Welcome to the replacement addiction. 
How fast did my vaping devices advance? REALLY SLOW!! I had to wait til stuff got invented!
I envy the new people nowadays because there are a lot of good options out there and with a little research you can eliminate 90% of the headaches I had getting started.
Good Luck and Happy Vaping!

This.
And I didnt have to wait as long has a 2009er!
When I joined...a plain old 510 battery was the .... and tea bagging your cap was the thing to do.
a plain ego was the next big "step"
Cigalike 3 weeks
Variable Voltage Ego EVOD 4 months
Kamry K100 Mech 1 month
Kamry K100 Mech AVO pyrex tank 3 months
Now I'm waiting for vape mail! EHPro EA mech should be here by Saturday and looking into the Aspire BCC or maybe a Russian, Kayfun or a rebuildable tank system with 1.2 ohm dual coils and cotton?
Who am I kidding? I'll get the Aspire BCC pyrex tank AND a rebuildable tank system eventually. I prefer mechs for durability (I drop everything) and would like a rebuildable tank running 28 guage dual coils and cotton because the closest vape shop is 100 miles away! After almost 8 months, I've tapered off but am always looking for a great atomizer, clearomizer, rebuildable tank...
The most exotic thing I bought as a smoking gadget was a zippo--my wife don't understand my gizmo but at least I don't smell, it is less expensive than cigs, I am healthier and no need to run to the store for packs....as Charlie Sheen would say, winning!

Welcome!
I started with BLU 2 years ago. Would occasionally use it when I couldn't smoke. Then decided on the Halo Triton Kit 2months ago. It was okay, but I realized there was so much more out there and discovered this site. 2 weeks after my Triton I got my Provari. So once I got serious so did my vaping equipment lol!
No more analogs! Yayyy!

Hello. I started on a basic tesco led at the end cigarette lookalike and it was rubbish. Then up graded to an ego. My current set up is a Ego VV twist 2100 mah battery and a 2.8ml Vivi Nova tank. Loving it. But then browsing the Internet I found a new love which is the Joyetech EMode. It's brand new. No reviews for it but it look exceptional. I've been smoke free now for eleven months and it's easily the best thing I've ever done. I normally before I buy anything read reviews and watch video reviews on YouTube from Scott at igetcha69 or PBustardo. They are vaping ninjas.
Smoke free and loving life...... And the fatter wallet.
