not that anyone here remembers me with my whopping 7 post count lol. i was around here 4 yrs ago (mostly lurking). tried a 510 with atomizer and refilling those little cartridges, used every trick i could find for a wick from stir straws to aquarium filter. in the end it was just a gross mess and i probably never went longer than 4 hrs without a real cig. and that was fighting myself, setting a goal and counting down the minutes until i could have a real cig. i cant even remember how long i did it for but it was prob 3 weeks tops. just an awful experience. leaking everywhere, mouths full of juice, recharging batts all day long and the list goes on.

flash forward to a few weeks ago. well my stepson was home from college and complaining about the smoke on his clothes, in the house, his lungs, ect. i chalked it up to him being part of this wimpy generation since i never complained when i didnt smoke as a kid or a teen. anyways it got me thinking about the ecig again. something that has been completely off my radar. off to youtube i went and wow have things changed in 4 yrs. i ended up picking up an igo4 kit with 2 batts and clearomizers. i didnt read much about it but i saw one review and was a sucker for that cool charger lol.

a little over 4 days later after my first puff of vapor and i havent even considered going for the pack of smokes i have sitting in my drawer. im doing so good im already considering my self a non smoker or former smoker if you will. feels so good i wanna jump for joy lol. now i just need to find some good juices, what i have are ok but trying more is half the fun. the other half is getting more ecigs and accessories lol. doubt i will get into mods but who knows, maybe someday.


edit to add: out of curiosity can i use an ego/510 clearomizer (like a protank) on my old joye 510 batteries? mine are stashed away somewhere or i would check for myself. lord knows where they are though. no need to waste my time looking if i cant use them on it. just figured since i have them than maybe i could find a use, maybe stealth vaping or something idk.

Welcome back.

Can't blame you for falling off the wagon when you did. It was still pretty rough when I started in 2010. It's just been this last yr -yr 1/2 that things have just exploded.

Prices are great now also. There are also so many ejuice vendors, you should probably look at some of the reviews to see what may tempt you. I DIY my ejuice now, but when I did buy from vendors, I liked vaperrenu, mtbaker and freedomsmokeusa.com

You can also click on the suppliers forum button on the top menu of every page to see the long list for them.

Good luck
:)

yea it was def rough in 2010 lol.
i was thinking about doing the diy thing tonight. unortunatley yesterday i warned the wife about how dangerous straight nicotine is and even the bottles of juice (we have dogs so i wanted to make sure if she ever saw a bottle on the floor to pick it up rightaway). not that im careless, but just as a precaution, better safe than sorry right. anyways she shot down the diy thought pretty quick. oh well lol.

so far ive ordered from goodejuice since they are local and i get it next day. i want to try and find a few from them that are at least decent incase im ever about to run out or something. i also got a free bottle of vaper king chocolate rasberry with my igo4. reading reviews of that brand i was expecting it to be nasty but i actually like it. though i only taste raspberry. i do have a bottle of java milkshake and strawberry granada coming from virgin vapor, ive heard good things about them. next week i'll be looking around at some more places to order from.

and thanks to everyone for the congrats.

Virgin Vapor is good, but gotta steep them. We know a lot more about DIY now and if you use good safety practices and get into a routine, it's quick and fairly simple. Lots of DIY calculators online to help with % and mil. And a lot more studies have and are being done.
Dvap has perfected the Whole Tobacco Alkaloids(WTA) and can now be purchased at Aroma ecigs. Little pricey, but a little goes a long way.

Visit the DIY forum just to educate yourself. So much to learn and catching up to do. LOL
Here is a link.

Also, take a look at CASAA. Link in my signature. Gotta fight the FDA someway.
