I'm New and Happy To Be Here!

Hello, everyone!

20+ year smoker. Finally done with all that mess and just trying to make sure I have a good setup before the analogs run out!

I bought a blu a couple weeks ago and was like, "I just don't know about all this madness and these flavors are crap." So I figured the Internet would solve all my problems, as usual.

Really, I am amazed and touched by how amazing the vaping community is, especially here on ECF. The video of someone trying the secret Alice in Vapland flavor and people asking questions and getting these *amazing* detailed replies. You guys are the best.

I moved up from the blu to an Ego-T that may or may not be a clone.

Wanna know something weird?

The tank it came with (plastic, black tip, tapered at the top, came with the starter kit) works better and gives me a smoother vape on the blu battery screwed into it than it does on the big-ol' Ego-T battery! Any ideas why this might be? <-- I'm pretty sure that question is proof I'm a newbie because even though I googled it I'm sure the answer is something painfully obvious!

The first juice I bought for my tank is grape flavored from shazam and it tastes like grape kool aid with an aftertaste/smell of cotton candy in my nose. So at least I got some amazing flavor from my first try with ejuice.

I tried using the blunt needle tip bottle that came with my Ego-T starter kit to refill the cartomizer sponge thingy, but it still just tastes like raunchy blu vanilla. (I'll try again with that one tomorrow, it's possible I just didn't let it sit long enough after "spinning" the cartridge between my palms back and forth.

Thank you all for being here and being wonderful. I'm really excited to learn more and find MY perfect setup!

Jen

Hello congrats on switching over. It takes a while to find flavors that you like. If you post pictures of your equipment you'll get better answers on what stuff is.

Hi Jen. I was where you are a couple of months ago and this forum has turned quitting smoking and starting vaping into one of the best, most fun things I have done in a long time. Amazing to think that giving up cigs can be fun--what a concept. But the longer you are here and the more juices you try and the better vaping stuff you get, you will wonder why you didn't find out about e-cigs much, much sooner. Congrats on the beginning of a journey to better health or at the very least better breathing!!

Welcome! I started with the ego T w/iclear 16 and several small sample size bottles of juice and stopped smoking immediately. It's been about a week now and I can't believe what I have learned and purchased so far. Enjoy the trip, and this forum and youtube are your friends.

I can't believe I forgot to put a picture of my set-up on here. It's like proof I'm new

Here is the setup with the normal battery and then all Frankenstein-ed onto the blu battery that gives a more mellow draw.



I am waiting for an MVP 2.0 to go on sale somewhere to grab that and I'm thinking about getting the big sampler pack from Alice in Vapeland (and maybe some other sample packs like from Mt. Baker Vapors) to get started. I am in love with this grape, though, so at least there's that.

I normally don't like sweets so it's really great to be able to vape them!

Welcome to ECF!! Lots of info here.

I also did the sampler thing at first. My first bottle was from a B&M and the guy recommended that I get the 50ml bottle because the taste was soooo good. I found that I didn't really like it.

Samplers are great. One thing that helps is to establish some sort of standard aerating/steeping routine. Easy way to get away from those that are just out of the microwave.
