I think I might me a vaping idiot

[Giraut]

Dear OP, If your happy then I do not see the problem? Who cares what other people think? Do what works for you!

I am happy. It's just that people swear I don't know how much happier I'd be if I got into X, Y or Z. I try X, Y and Z, and find them only marginally better at best, for a lot more money than I'd care to spend. Hence my thinking that there must be something wrong with my ability to find true vaping bliss.

For me, vaping bliss is when I crack open a bottle of juice I've never tried, fill up a clearo, draw a puff, and drop on my knees, wondering how I've lived this long without tasting something like this. 90% of the enjoyment I find in vaping is due to the juice, 9% to the atomizer, and 1% to the power supply. So what's the buzz about this or that device all about, that I don't seem to be able to get excited about? Surely all these people who write miles and miles of forum posts and make video reviews to express how happy they are with their particular piece of kit must be on to something that eludes me.

If you're not into tinkering and just want a vape I think you've got it right.

I love to tinker. But I find the return on investment in terms of increased enjoyment unfavorable. Financially it is though - rebuilding atties really saves money.

I enjoyed the learning curve with rebuilding coils for my protank mini II, but I don't know what's next.......

i'm too satisfied with it to move on to anything else..........

maybe I'll try some DIY liquids........ dunno

I think that you have found true vaping bliss No one knows you better than you know yourself. I truly prefer my V4L Titans with a tank on them. Sometimes I get really crazy and use the zues!
I am sure many just somehow think I am wrong or "missing out" on something. I am not into tinkering or building.
Refilling the tanks is about as close to tinkering as I get I am with you on the new juice thing!!! It is like Christmas morning to open and try a new juice! Every once in awhile you sadly open that package of socks that your aunt sent you but mostly it is the exact thing from the Christmas wish list

The next time someone tells you just how happy you would be if you bought x, y, z Tell them that if they are so concerned about your happiness they will A~ Leave you alone or B~ Go buy it for you

If you're happy with what you have, stop chasing the dragon and vape away. Don't worry about all that other stuff.

I have a vaping order in at FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics,Electronics, Cars, Fashion, Collectibles, Coupons and More | eBay,ecig skins, electorinc cigarette skins, ecig wrap, ecig wraps, mod wraps, ecig wraps, and http://walmart.com for a huge tackle box to hold my ever growing collection of mods, PVs, and various mAh batteries, clearos, cartos, coils, and the like! As long as you can pay your bills I say screw it and buy to your hearts content like I do lol once I have everything I need I will stop lol but I don't think I will ever have everything I need! Or is it WANT?!?

But you gotta vape with what makes you happy not what makes other people happy! I love my MVP and my VV/VW batteries and my dinkies as I like to call em my 600mAh batteries which are in my order from fasttech. Mainly I ordered VV/VW batteries from fasttech and ebay and another two MVPs. What can I say I have a gadget obsession!

 

[realsis]

I think it's great that your happy and satisfied and that's all that matters . I also love the taste I get out of my ego twist. It works for me..

 

[vanillayo]

I love my MVP 2 and like others have said my fun comes with trying new flavors.

 

[CountBoredom]

I went straight from standard ego 650 mah batteries to a VV3 and MVP2. If I buy any new batteries in the next year it will probably either be backups for what I have or a spinner or twist. I'll keep a wish list of sorts (Vamo, perhaps, or a Provari) just because it's nice to have a dream--but unless I win something, I'm set in that department. The only reason why I'm currently experimenting in tanks is because my taste for new flavors has run me afoul of the tank-cracking variety, but I'm sure that will die down soon, too. I still like my MT3S's...

 

[beckdg]

i'm jealous.

you're not an idiot. you've got it made. you don't have to spend tons of money and tinker the day away frustrated to get that perfect, satisfying vape. i wish i were in your shoes.

 

[danny4x4]

It sure is nice to find that I'm not the only one out there who feels the same as OP. Tried RBA, RDA and I still go back to clearos. I even bought an authentic Kayfun as everyone raves about the flavour. Got a provari and a couple of mechanicals as well. End of the day, the egos paired with t3 clearo is enough for me.

So if you're an idiot, I guess I am too.

 

[eebant]

Hate to sound too much like a newbie but I'm so much enjoying my iclear 16's with MVP2's and itaste vv's.

 

[anumber1]

I have an eVic, a SID, an M16 mech,. And my Kanger EVOD starter kit.

I still use those little 650 mAh EVOD batteries all the time! They are great little devices, fit in my shirt pocket and are nice and discrete at work and when out and about. Same goes for those original EVOD tanks of mine.

Nothing wrong with that!

So, I now have a sizeable collection of mods, batteries, clearos, RBAs, RDAs and whatnot. And of course, I have a lot of liquids of different kinds too. But for some reason, I keep gravitating back to fixed voltage cheap eGo batteries and cheap Evod and iClear 30 clearos because, well, the more expensive stuff just don't seem to work much better for me.

For some very thick juices, some of the equipment I have works better than ordinary stuff, to avoid dry hits. Other than that, eGos and cheap-... clearos are mighty fine. So much so that I keep buying more to sprinkle them all over the place, which just seems easier than carrying a single mod with me and caring for it.

I have an eVic at home. I like it in a geeky sort of way. But to be honest, it's much faffing about for no real advantage.

A friend of mine lent me his Provari. Meh... What it's got over a $10 battery - aside from machining and finish quality obviously - I'll never know. To each his own, but at that price, I can have 15 disposable batteries that seem to vape just as well, for a given topper.

One of my colleagues at work keeps complaining about burnt taste with this-or-that atomizer, keeps changing atties or switching clearos. But whenever I try his setup, the vape tastes perfectly fine to me.

I've tried all manners of coils and wicks on my AGA-T. Yeah, it's fun and everything, but, well... it vapes, at the end of the day.

The bottom feeder I've recently bought... Yep, that definitely does it for tricky juices that don't want to wick up ordinary clearos. With other juices though, it's just extra work for no benefit.

So it seems I'm not "getting it". Is there something wrong with me? I feel as if I'm unable to experienced the difference in vape quality that other vapers seem to rave about with more expensive or exotic equipment. I'm perfectly happy with the stuff I use - and in fact, probably happier with the cheaper stuff I use - but every advanced vaper I know in my area seems to think I'm missing out on some magical vaping experience that's above and beyond what I know and enjoy already.

Nothing wrong with you at all, that's the awesomeness about our niche. YOu keep going until you find something you like. I love my provari, PT2's and RDAs on them and my wife loves her VV3, Twists, T3Ss, MPTs. To each their own, as long as you're satisfied, that's all that's required.

 

[Fenway75]

Just got my Vamo V5 and Aerotank in yesterday, so we're still in 'first date' awkwardness. I also got five new juices in from Ahlusion to try, and you know what? The tasting will happen in Evods with my Spinner II....because I KNOW it works, they work, and I enjoy the flavors I get with that setup. Once the V5 and I get past second base I'll consider putting liquids I know I love into the Aero and see what kind of difference I get, but I don't expect I'll be so blown away the Spinner and my original eGo clones find their way into the trash or get relegated to pure backup mode. They work, I enjoy the experience, no need to go crazy. I got the Vamo because I fall prey to shiny-itis sometimes; even if it turns out to be a game-changer I don't see it making the trip with me when I travel (which happens often). I can lose an eGo clone to an overzealous Blueshirt at the airport and not break down crying at the balance sheet.

If you're vaping high nicotine, like 24mg, taste isn't going to matter as much as low and especially zero nicotine.

Some people are perfectly comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt, some people don't feel "right" if they're not in a coat and tie after 5 pm on a Friday night.

Why sweat it? Find your happy place and enjoy it!

I still use my 2 650mah's that I got in 2010, They fit very nicely in my little hand clutch purse

There is a vv/vw that goes to 12 watts, ego twist type that i'm looking at getting tomorrow.
I really like vaping like i'm tokin a cigar.. the ego's fit really nice for that.

18650 mods are like a big fat cigar,sometimes that's nice too when ya just want to let the belly hang out there and tug like a tug boat..
But for moving around a lot like at work,ego's style are really nice..

Fear Mah Ego Style! Lets Kung Fu! *Whaaa!! KIAAaaaaaa!!*

seriously though it was nice to finally see these on the market..not sure how long they have been on,but my local shop just got them in..so tomorrow i'm getting a couple for sure

I have one of those for a backup. It fits nicely in my purse. Disappointed with how long the charge lasts, however. I use my vamo all the time, and I have a spare (secondhand) vamo put away. Four cartotanks, and all of my clearos (except for an elderly iClear30) use the same replacement coil heads, which I can rebuild. Many flavors

I am happy. Except there is no such thing as a honey flavor that doesn't taste like furniture polish.

 

[CassiusCloud]

how long are you getting between charges with the vv/vw twists?
