Tonight, I (hopefully) bought my last pack of cigarettes!

On Monday I should receive my eGo Passthrough starter kit from Rawrvapor.com as well as some juice from them. I decided to go with Earl Grey .... (I love a good earl grey tea, even though I mostly drink coffee any more) and Pumpkin Spiced Cappuccino for the two 5ml bottles that come with the sample, and 10ml of their J55 for when I want that tobacco flavor.

After I see how the eGo Passthrough treats me, I'll probably grab a kGo battery (or two) for when I'll be out of the house / car for long periods of time (USB standard charging is the best thing to come to the portable world). And I've been looking into tanks as well. I know I'm going strong into this, but that's generally what I do. I'll decide I was to do / try something, do A LOT of research online, then skip the beginner phase, and try to go right to intermediate.

I'm not a heavy smoker currently, at 5 to 10 cigarettes a day, but I really do enjoy the act of smoking, as well as the social aspect of it. I've been wanting to quit for about a year now and a friend of mine re-reminded me about electronic cigarettes.

I started by trying a NJOY "light" disposable, and it was terrible. Then I realized I was vaping it all wrong. I was doing the classical noob mistake of, "Oh, no vaper? HIT IT HARDER!" The I looked up some youtube videos and learned how to properly vape. The NJOY was still a peice of ..... My buddy who has been smoking disposable for a few weeks now (he also isn't a huge smoker, 5-10 a day, so he gets a few days out of one) said that what he learned was that the NJOY was probably the worst of the gas station disposables. He also said that Blu was probably the best.

So, I tried one of those. Amazing! I kind of liked the nutty coffee flavor of the tobacco juice. And now I'm reading that these things are .... compared to what I'm getting! I'm excited!!

This is turning into a HUGE first post...

As far as me, I'm a "tinkerer." When I was younger (I guess I'm not that old now at 26) I was real into computer modding. Then I got a car, threw a computer in the glove box, molded a touch screen into the dash and everyone was shocked when I had a working, full color, touchscreen GPS / music and video player in 2004.

Now I'm excited for something new to tinker with. I'm sure I'll make plenty of posts asking about parts for simple mods and the like!

Thanks for reading my (long) introduction post!

Welcome aboard! I threw myself (and my credit card) into this head first as well. I ordered Eversmoke at first, came here and realized I needed to upgrade already even before it arrived. While waiting for it I went to the gas station and picked up two disposables and they were both gone within 24 hours and were not that good. I sent the Eversmoke back and bought Twists and a bunch more stuff...all this within three weeks! I had just bought a carton of cigarettes and smoked about half of them and within the first week of vaping I had given the rest away to co-workers. I found another full pack in my purse two days ago and gave them away. It's weird to me, to just up and give them away like it was nobody's business with no hankering to smoke them. Weird in a good way. I wish you luck!
 
Gotta recommend the Ego Twist in the 1000mah, and some Boge SR carto/tanks. If you go twist, the dual coils don't seem to put out enough vapor for the batt life reduction, but the regular cartos in 2.2 to 2.4 ohms on a tank are killer. Just dial in your juice's perfect voltage and go! I also like the ego sleeve adapters for the look, both the cone and the flange (for the big or small tanks), to cover the threads and meet the tank. Congrats on making a great move, and get samplers from everywhere; you have flavor choices to make!
 
Thanks all!

THERE'S LORD OF THE RINGS INSPIRED JUICE?!?!?!?

Just ordered some Shire Malt and Longbottom Leaf from ePipeMods. I just ... had to ...

I love longbottom leaf in my pipe mod. It is not sweet at all and has a complex and mild flavor that mixes well with other "basic" flavored juices!

I'm buying sampler packs up like crazy, funny that I thought of this right before I read the post.

There is a juice called gandalf by heather heavenly vapes. Although I have never tried it, it is constantly getting recommended on here as a top juice. Welcome aboard, and within a few weeks of vaping the smell of smoke alone will make it so you dont want to smoke another cigarette again.

Wow that epipemods site is spectacular. I passed my KGO on to a friend who never smoked cigs, but loved the occasional pipe (Cubans even because he's in Canada). He vapes the KGO with a 0 nic blu-bacco just for the flavor. I forwarded that site on to him, he is going to love the look of those ePipes. Beautiful. The pipe "sauces" are a bit pricier than usual but their blends look quite intriguing and definitely suited to pipe lovers.

Welcome aboard the crazy train. ;)

I think I'm four weeks in, myself. Started out with ego + ce4 and 18 mg/ml apple juice. Currently puffing away on vmax + ce4 and a DIY honey blueberry oak mix in pure VG. Zero nic, working just fine. ;)

Oh. And waiting for my DID. Should be here Monday.

It does pull you in, this vaping thing. And compared to the stuff for my other hobbies (cars and bikes) its ... basically for free. =)

Nice! I'll have to check that one out too!

Pricier? Remember, this is a 30ml bottle! Pbusardo's site (which btw, I'm finding to be a HUGE collection of information!!) puts them just in the top 10 best prices. Also, spend $20 and get free shipping! So 30ml for 15.99, add some random other accessory that you are always buying, then free shipping!
