Intro, and noob questions.

[ddboy]

Hi all, I'm going to be asking lots of newbie questions in the very near future, so I thought I'd share my smoking background,

Iv'e been smoking since I was 16, I'm 29 now, never considered vaping, until my cousin (who's also my housemate and hates smoking) bought me 5 blu e-cigs after his mom loved them, I was instantly impressed, loved being able to smoke inside, no mess in my car, ect.

But those ran out, I bought about 5 more, and than feel off, they were $11 a piece, I was smoking 2 a day costing me about 3 times as much as my old habit.

Fast forward 6 or so months, and I tried again after realizing there's a million options online that were way cheaper, long story short, I gave up again and went back to my trustee old marlboro's but.... would you believe it, I didn't like them, I smoked a pack and a half and gave the rest away.

But the real revaluation came about a week ago, when a friend of mine showed me her eGo, clearomizer, setup. Been hoked ever since, I immediately bought 2 eGo's, 2 clearo's, 5 juices, and love them.

I already made 2 modest orders from fasttech, eGo twists, protanks, coil heads, lots of liquid. But now I'm putting together a upgrade order vamo v3, svd 37, and gadgets and toys.

Well thanks for reading, hopefully you'll be answering my redundant newb questions soon.

Welcome to ECF!

I think that your next set will be variable voltage. You could get an ego twist or vision spinner.... It will blow your simple egos out of the water.

Try to buy some american juice instead... For some reason, people are not convinced about the quality of chinese fasttech liquid...

Mt baker vapor is a popular and cheap choice, heather heavenly vapes as well. Pretty good and affordable.

Welcome to the forums I still consider myself a noobie even though I have been vaping for close to 3 years.

Wow, you have really hit the ground running, nice job. You remind me of... well me lol. Purhaps you are ready for big batts and variable wattage. Sigelei Zmax would be a nice choice without getting crazy expensive IMO.

Steam, I think you misread the OP's post. He already has eGo Twists, and is already planning on getting some big boy toys.

 

[superfobsonny]

Congrats! That's awesome!

 

[ddboy]

thanks guys, yea to much fun stuff, ^^^right now I just have 2 Ego's a 650, and a 900 still waiting for both my orders placed on the 8th, and 9th, so no twists yet, tracking says Hong Kong "accepted status" but watching all the youtube vid's, and lerking here for a while, I know I want a VV mod, weather I'm ready for it or not

 

[ddboy]

and Steam, I will definitely give mtbaker a shot, seems highly praised by many.

Thanks again.

If your going for a newby VV with durability toward drops and looks nice I'd get a vision spinner 1300 mah you can pick them up for 25 bucks on the high end. Their the same price as a ego c twist but its better quality with the dial at the bottom and the connection between the head and the battery is solid and won't break. The vision spinner is definitely a great gate way to the ole trusty Mods!

Happy vapeing, welcome to ECF stay off the marburos!

I appreciate it, but I'm waiting on an order of twists already.

 

[ddboy]

Just googled it an I definitely like the spinner better, more batt life, listed volts, but the twists 5 pack was $55, giving a couple away to friends.

 

[ddboy]

hey folks, I just looked mt baker's price for 246ml and was shocked to see it was cheaper per ml than liqua from fasttech, my noob question is what pg/vg ratio should I chose? I'm sure it's subjective to taste, Iv'e liked apollo's cherry limeade best so far, all three liqua's I tried I liked apple, berry mix, grape, and I threw away two bottles of Lush vapor, berries a la fiesta, and pow pow pink starburstin, I also really liked apollo's blueberry kona coffee, that's all Iv'e tried so far.

 

[Ralence]

PG/VG comes down to personal preference. PG holds more flavor, and throat hit. VG is more vapor. I run 50/50, my GF runs 10/90. I can't even taste hers or feel it in my throat. Find a flavor you like for an everyday, and then experiment with small amounts in different ratios.

As for flavors thats subjective .
I tend to vape with a higher PG ratio , i dont like to exhale plumes when i am in public .
But hardware , you will LOVE your Vamo . I have a v2 in stainless . i dont like the grooved spiral on the v3's . The new OLED you will like . Once you vape with a variable wattage device , you wont want to use the variable voltage spinners , unless you are looking for something smaller . I have 2 vamo v2's 1 i actually carry for backup in a carrying case with other parts . I dont know how good fast tec is for dealing with but good luck with them .
Once you find the battery mod you like , you will be buying juices and tanks left and right just to have something different . I am not saying the Spinners arent good , its just once you get your Vamo , after you have the spinners , it will be a world of difference . Mostly in being able to go past 5 volts , if you have higher ohm carts.

Good luck with your purchases ,welcome to ECF and Vape On .
