Great job Dan. I think you're going to be happy with your choices. vape them with pride.

A few tips to get you started, in no particular order:

1. Drink a lot of water because vaping can dehydrate you and dry your mouth.
2. Your atomizers will eventually start to taste bad. How long depends on the kind of liquids you use, and how hard you hit them. When they go bad, you'll need to change the atomizer head (cheap). I reckon you should get a month or two out of them.
3. When you vape the iclears, tilt them to 90 degrees to make sure the wicks stay wet. Otherwise you will get a dry hit and that tastes nasty.
4. Both clearomizers may leave a drop of liquid on the battery connection. Wipe the connection with a piece of tissue before putting it back on the charger.
5. ALWAYS look at your clearomizer when you unscrew it from the battery. You must be gripping the bottom part when you turn or you will get soaked.
6. Iclears fill from the top, evods from the bottom. The top of your evod will not open!
7. Have fun.

Great choices Dan !!!
Glad you chose a variety of juices...
I'm sure that you will find a couple to your liking.

Do heed Leoleoleo's advice #1....
Drink plenty of water Vaping.
PG in vapor is hygroscopic...means it attracts water, drys you out
And you want to flush those old toxins out of your system too !:p

Now...
You get to stalk the mailman for Vapemail !!!:mail:

Stick with ECF, ask questions, share Vapemail and successes...research.
We are all here rooting for you !:2cool:

Will the lower PG% still dehydrate as much?

I always drink plenty of water anyway.

Hi Dan! Don't you love all the support and expertise from this forum? Ive been a FT vapor since late April and have found this forum to be worth it's weight in gold (or should I say e-liquid). Just thought to mention that some e-liquids may need to steep. (set aside for a week or 2 in order to get the best flavor). I too am waiting for some e-liquids from MBV. Since they make so many different combinations (strengths, vg/pg ratios, extra flavor shots) it may take some time for the juices to reach their best flavor. So with that said, I bet I will try some on the day of delivery because it is hard to wait. If by chance something is not to my liking, I'll put it in a dark cupboard, shake it occasionally and try again in a week of so. Some have suggested putting citrus liquids in glass holders if they need steeping. Have fun!!

Yup, have read about steeping already. Guess I will start with the unflavored, then try some flavors.

I know it will depend on how much I vape, but how long should a 15ml bottle last? Currently a PAD smoker:(

And yes I love all the support and info this site provides. When I decided to try vaping, the first thing I googled was "e-cig forum" because I belong to a few other forums and they have been very informative. This site is set up well and I learned a lot in short order. Propable cut my learning curve in half or better than just random "e-cig" googles.

Not sure I want slower longer draws. Based on that, is the evod a bad choice?

IMO the EVOD is a GREAT choice!! I went through quite a few and IMO the EVOD is the best Ive tried to far!! Its all about what YOU like so I think what you are talking about getting is a great starting point. I think almost everyone starts somewhere but there is alway room to go bigger and better. Jump in the water is fine :) Happy Vaping!!

Most folks use 3 to 5 ml. A day...
But that's just a average YMMV.

Vape as much as you need...
You want to vape more and longer than you smoke to get and keep your nic level up....
To keep the cravings away.
Vape whenever you would normally have a cig....
First thing in the morning, after coffee or breakfast, meals...
Whenever you need to.
The real trick is to vape 'before' you think you need to...to head off the cravings...
O heck....just vape, vape vape !:vapor:
(Sounds like me !!!)
