We all vape, that is a given fact, but how difficult was it in the beginning to find the right PV? Some were probably fortunate enough to luck out with the very first PV they ever bought, while others still continue the quest for the right device. When my first ever PV arrived in the mail (my eGo), I immediately stopped smoking. I thought I was in smoke-free heaven once and for all. Every day that passed that I didn't light up felt like bliss, and I owed it all to my PV. I was doing awesome, having went 25 days without a cigarette (which btw was the longest I had ever been able to go in the 20+ years I smoked a pack a day). I really thought I was beating it...until a really bad week kicked me in the gut!
For three days during this week, it felt like everything that could go wrong did! I lost my job and after that, it just seemed like everything to do with vaping wasn't working. I ran out of my main vape, my juices seemed to all of a sudden taste like crap, my eGo wasn't giving me enough TH and nicotine delivery, all my cartos started getting that nasty burnt taste, etc. Needless to say after three days, I caved in and bought a pack of analogs while I had new juice and cartos on order. Three days later when my supplies arrived, I threw away the half a pack of analogs I still had and went back to vaping. Fail. I lasted another four days before the cravings once again overwhelmed me and I was back at the gas station.
I began to do a lot of thinking as to why after almost a month of not even having a craving for cigarette's that I was once again a slave to them. Sure I was at an elevated stress level, but it wasn't just that. The main reason was that my good ole trusted eGo stopped helping me and I couldn't understand why. I sat down and gave some thought to what I liked about my eGo and what I didn't like about it. The only things I could really come up with that I didn't like was (1). it was fairly bulky in my pocket with the 650mah battery and a Echo-e carto with a 801 drip tip, (2). I didn't like having to push a button every time I took a hit nor having to mess around with a button guard whenever I took it out or put it into my pocket, and finally (3). I didn't like the fact that I couldn't hold it like a real cigarette. Seems like some pretty minor issues right? Not entirely.
A smoking addiction is mainly a mental addiction and as such our minds are always looking for an excuse, no matter how trivial, to feed its addiction. Once my stress level began to peak, my mind began to play off of and magnify all the things I didn't like about my eGo until I eventually gave in. Once my demon's were fed, I was able to clearly analyze my problem. I immediately began to research KR808D type PV's and all signs pointed to two models in particular - the Bloog MaxxFusion (or BMF for short), and the Volt by Smokeless Image. After reading great things about both models and watching numerous video reviews on YouTube, I made the decision to order the Volt.
What an instant difference it made. All my bases had now been covered because my new PV gave me everything my eGo had PLUS satisfied everything I was missing. I fell in love with vaping all over again. I believe I have now found my companion PV and I am thankful it didn't take hundreds if not thousands of dollars to find it. I honestly think that me being able to closely analyze the reasons my eGo had failed me and then researching online until I found a device that completely matched my criteria is what saved me.
So the real question is...how many failures did you all have along the way before you found the lollipop that was right for you?
