How long did it take you to upgrade?

[Electrician480]

As mentioned in my first post I bought the V2 standard kit 2 weeks ago and received it a week ago. I love it and vaping so far, especially trying new flavors! My question is...

What did you start with?

How long until you upgraded?

What did you upgrade to?

Hey there Electrician, I started my ecig journey about 4 months ago with a standard ego kit then about a 3-4 weeks later i got a Vamo. VV/VW changed my life! lol... Shortly after that I picked up a spinner just for the hell of it and now I'm on the hunt for my next upgrade. Tried plenty of clearos, cartos, tanks, rba's etc though. Now... what to get next....

3 weeks with a V2 in July......Ego C next, then a Twist and a Spinner in my 5th week...

9 mods in next 8 months after those

My wife and I started with the Fin starter kits and bought the pre-filled cartomizers for about 2 weeks. Upgraded to an eGo with a mega cartomizer, been about another 2 weeks on that. She's happy as a bug in a rug, I want a Provari and a Z-Atty-Pro.

My first e-cig was an eGo-T
After about a month I switched to cartomizers instead of the T atomizer & tank.
At 2 months I bought a Silver Bullet. Two years later I still have and use that Silver Bullet.
Since then I have bought a nice PV about every 6 months, I still have and use them all.

So now with a SB, Mako, Jazz Pipe, Provari, and a Reo, I'm really hard pressed for any reason to buy another one.

Pay as much atention to what I have not wasted money on as well as what I have bought.

I have about 100 carts that fit my V2, if I upgrade sometime will they fit on a spinner, I like the design of the spinner.

Started out with eGo batteries and CE-style clearos (CE 5, I think). Soon "upgraded" to Kanger T3, Vivi Novas, Evod, iClear, etc. Wasn't happy about quality, so bought an Aga T2 and a Vamo. Since then I've ditched the previous mentions and are currently using mech mods with RBAs or drippers, and the occasional carto tank on a 450mah eGo battery for ultimate pocketability. Looks cute too

I have about 100 carts that fit my V2, if I upgrade sometime will they fit on a spinner, I like the design of the spinner.

Not sure what a V2 is, but if they fit on a 510 battery, they will fit on the Spinner. The Spinners have 510 and eGo threading.

What's your favorite? Provari seems nice but expensive. Is a spinner and a better upgrade after the V2? I just don't want to drop a lot of money and find out I don't like something like the provari. Also I'm still confused about what attavhments fit which devices

I started out two months ago with a Stok ecig which turned out to be crap. That same week, I ended up buying a couple of Atmos Optimus which are great for occasional use but I've been using them regularly and there is a noticeable drop in battery life. After a month I picked up a Vamo which has been great up until last week when it started having issues. Along the way, I've ordered Vivi Nova, iClear 30 and Kanger ProTanks which have all been solid but the Kanger ProTank is far and away the best quality. Last week I ordered a couple of American made mechanical mods, (A Super T Precise ELA and 2 Vapor Craze Noble 1's) which I am hoping solve my quality problems.

Finding this forum has been a huge help. The shear amount of knowledge is staggering, as are all the devices and juices! This "hobby" or whatever you want to call it is like anything else. You dip your feet in the water and find those surface products that meet the need cheaply but then when you really get in the water you see how deep and vast it is. This forum helps sort a lot of it out.

Started with Blu on March 29th and upgraded to a Twist(thx to GrimmGreen) on April 3rd so ~5 days. Have spent about $225 in the past 5 weeks and I am now ~$32 from breaking even. My next upgrade will be an iTaste MVP once I have $70 in the black saved.

Nope...A V2 has 808 threads on it. 808 batteries severely limit your available options for juice delivery systems (clearomizers, tanks, carto tanks, atomizers)...

A Spinner uses 510 threading.....tons of options with 510's.....all current APV's utilize 510 threading.

Is there a calculator that helps keep track of savings and spendings? Or does everyone just use the old paper and pen?

 

[dwolf111]

I started out with a eGo battery and a Vision vivi nova. After a month I got a Vamo and I am still using my vivi novas.

 

[Electrician480]

Thanks, maybe once I burn all my carts up ill upgrade. Is there anywhere to sell used batteries and all? Are you allowed to sell them on ebay?

 

[shad0wxb0i]

Started with an ego. Was not satisfied at all.

Upgraded within a week. LOL
I picked up a smoktec telescope and Hornet RBA. I was content until I read about the power of full mech. So happened I kept having problems with the telescope.

Upgraded again within a month to a CCPV and FATTY v2. I've been stuck with this set up for the longest time. I'm just gonna change my copper contacts to silver and this setup is complete.

I started with an ego t passthrough and a crappy clearomizer back in January, it came with 0 nic juice and I wasn't really crazy about it. But I kept looking and the end of March I ordered an ego twist and some vivi novas along with some 6mg nic juice and then I started loving vaping.
Now I have an eVic, kanger protanks, more vivi novas, and an iclear 30. Now I'm considering getting a provari.

My current favorite is mech mods (mainly the Gus 18500) with either a Igo-L or an Aga T2. With the Aga, it's getting close to baseball bat-sized, so I'm not using it while out and about.

I see the V2 use KR808-D1 threading. So your cartos will not be compatible with Spinner batteries, as far as I can tell. KR808-D1 is one of those threadings I haven't used myself, so can't really help out a lot. All I know is the Spinners (and Twists and in general, eGo) use both eGo and 510 threading, so you have a lot of atties to choose from. Almost all mods use 510 threading, too. 510 seems to be the most used, while eGo seem to be "limited" to CE-style and Kanger clearos.

Can't speak for the Provari as I don't own one.... and I certainly won't risk getting killed by comparing it to a Spinner

started with a mall kiosk POS..used it till it died...in january I got my first ego starter kit, within 4 weeks made the jump to VV/VW with a vamo because the 2.8 ohm heads in my Vivi Nova kits were useless to me on a 3.2 volt eGo....then something happened...I came down with "DAD" ( Devise Acquiring Disorder)...and went on a mad hunt for the luxury mech mod made of unobtainium..finely lucked into a Zen Standard....now I have a growing collection of Mech's and VV/VW's...all i vape on is RBA's and RDA's..( except at work when i use my Nova's and eGo's)....yeah I am one of "those guys"..its become a hobby.
