Hey, i've been vaping for about 18 months now. Started with ordinary cigarette type PVs but now use EGO's with clearomizers. I am in the market for bigger n better hardware. Thinking about lavatube or just more volts from a bigger ego maybe a twist, anything variable.
How long have you been vaping ?

I first started vaping a few years back, and used e-cigs to give up smoking. I found it very effective, and enjoyed vaping in its own right rather than merely as a tobacco substitute. Eventually my charger died and I just quit altogether. Was under severe financial stress at the time.
I've relapsed a few times since then under varying circumstances. Eventually I enrolled in a university double degree course, and can assure you that around exam time the urge to smoke becomes strong! I'd long since thrown away my old vaping gear in one of a series of massive cleanups, and last round of exams I thought to check out the vaping scene and see how difficult it'd be to get some decent ecigs and ejuice. Being in Australia, getting juice with nicotine in it is a bit of a pain, but I'm pleased to see that customs still isn't preventing people from importing it.
Well, I can tell you that the technology has progressed *magnificently* in the past few years! My Ego-T starter kit arrived a few weeks back, and some nice juice from the US arrived two weeks ago or so, and these new batteries and vaporizing solutions (I now have two CE4s, a CE6 and a set of Boge cartomizers with tanks to choose between) leave the thing I used to vape with in the dust! I had been happy with it back then but it never really satisfied and did often leave me with an urge to smoke; it mostly made the urge manageable. The thick, heavy, tasty vapour that the modern gear produces leaves me in no doubt that I've upgraded from smoking. I'm also really impressed by how cheap this all is. I hope the people producing these products are proud of what they're doing, and hope the trend towards regulation in the Western world eventually gives way to common sense.

About 3-1/2 years. Started off with an N4081, but an M401 got me off of cigarettes. Many eGos and mods later it's more of a hobby now. I use very little nicotine now, but enjoy vaping more than I ever enjoyed smoking. An eGo twist sounds like a great next step for you.
I started in August and quit smoking in October. Started on the Blu, joy 510's, and now have the twist and kangers and a cute little mini ego.

Started 2 weeks ago, after smoking about 4-5 a day for the past few years. Not much of a heavy smoker as some people, but it started hurting my pockets purchases cigarettes all the time. Plus, having a young daughter and being super smelly.
I started on 11/30/2012. This is also the date i stopped smoking. I went with the mistic brand. Then converted to volts by Smokeless Image.
Haven't had a smoke in 2 weeks, been vaping for about a month, currently running an ago-c with a precise plus 18650 and a iHybrid coming so i can't wait to upgrade 
4 months for me. I enjoy vaping and it made it easy to quit after 18 years of smoking.
How time flies. Started vaping over a year ago. Cigarette-free for the same amount of time.
It's just been about year for me. Started with a 510 knockoff kit from a local shop.
My banner shows the time I started vaping. I put the analogs down as soon as the batteries on my new kit was charged. It's the smartest thing I have ever done.
my 2 year is in march. ill NEVER smoke again. vaping saved my life and my families as well as i converted my mom and sister,wife and most of my close friends and co-workers.
In March I'll hit 2 years. Started with ego type batteries and quickly moved to and Maxi-Roughstack V2 for longer battery life. Used that exclusively until Labor Day of this year and ordered a ProVari V2.Wish I had gotten the ProVari sooner . Also have a fully mechanical called the Chameleon made in Scotland. Drip almost exclusively ,cartos occasionally and delving into rebuildables.
I started Vaping 2 month ago, completly dropped the analogs 35 days ago. Still have 3.5 packs of analogs in the garage where I used to go to smoke. Not sure what to do with them yet. I use eGo spinners with Mega xl Cartos, carto tanks, T2, CE4, UDCT, Novas. Trying a bit of everything, but found for me the Mega XL Cartos work great and make things the simplest to carry. Just got an eroll too and thats a nice easy compact unit.
Been vaping for a little less than 2 months. Still smoke 4 or 5 analogs a day... Almost 2000 after and still looking for the perfect vape (started with an Ego Tank kit, tried Stardusts, Vivi Novas, mini Vivi Novas, carto tank, GGTS, an Odysseus V2, Vision Eternity, Provari, Halo e juices - several, Vaperite - several, Alien Visions Boba's Bounty, Copper Creek House Blend, Dekang, tryed some DIY stuff, some French e juiced... currently trying the Provari with a DID D20 and quite happy with it, and seems like Boba's Bounty suits me quite well. Waiting for some Gorila Juice)... Still searching...
I started in August. Not completely analogs free yet, but very confident I am on my way, as soon as I find out how many and what kind of clearomizers I need. I just have to have one or two analogs in a week, but they are not as satisfying now as vaping. I think I am a little bit addicted to that burning smell of analogs. When I smell it, I want it. But then it doesn't taste good after all. And it is so amazing how many different flavors are available for us to try, it is like a new hobby for me. Couldn't convert my friend, however. She tried some sort of e-cigs, and she didn't like all those side effects of vaping.
I would have said analogues have far more side effects than vaping
The only side effect I can think of with vaping is having to hydrate more.
