Well I will start off this thread. I like many others started vaping with a cigarette style e cig. Obviously knowing there is more to it when it comes to devices, I moved up to the ego t. From there I made my own flashlight mod. It runs off of 4xAAA rechargeable batteries. From there I bought a few more ego batteries. Then I decided to get into the whole variable voltage side of vaping. I am currently using my itaste mvp vv with iclear 16 clearomizers. I have been enjoying a voltage range of about 4.0 - 5.0 volts. Lower in the morning and higher from there on. Now to list my current collection of juices, PV's and tanks. Devices: lots of ego batteries, DIY-flashlight mod, itaste mvp, and a 510 cig style battery. Juices (all from my local shop): mountain duh 20mg, hard lemonade 20mg, Swedish fish 20mg, fruit stripe 20mg, dragons blood 21mg, red bull 21mg, love potion 18mg, summer mist 16mg, and marlburro 21mg. As for tanks: vivi nova v10, iclear 16, and a stardust v3 (long wicks). So now it's your turn. Just follow the same basic design and vape on!

I started with a cig-a-like and successfully put down the analogs for a year. Then I picked up again for about 6 months and was introduced to an ego for the first time. I had no clue there was anything out there except cig-a-likes. So, about 4 months ago I got an ego kit with some basic CE4's and haven't looked back. I joined ECF and have been totally hooked on vaping and learning/experimenting with everything. After the ego/CE4 setup I got a vamo as my first vv/vw device. Added a vivi nova, iclear30, protank, t3, t2, and some other random tanks to my arsenal and I was LOVING it. Then, I decided I had to try out RBA's and carto tanks. Honestly, carto tanks are not my cup of tea, but after about 2 months of vaping I got my first RBA (cobra clone) and mech mod (china gg). OMG, it's all I use. Well I also have a smoktech telescope now and a couple AGA T2's, but I can't even use any of my clearo's anymore because I get such great flavor and vapor from the RBA's. Also, around the time I got into RBA's I started DIY. I have made 3 juices so far that are to DIE for and a lot that have gone down the drain. I have a Vamo V3 and an RDA on order now (don't worry I already have a v3 carbon fiber jwrap waiting at home to put on it:laugh:). I love vaping and have thoroughly enjoyed the last 4 months. Next purchase, probably a ProVari (gotta see what all the hype is about) even though I probably will rarely use it since I am almost exclusively a mech mod guy now.

I started with cig-sized Volts over 10 months ago. I got my first X2 ego-sized free winning a contest at Smokeless Image about a month later. I still use Volts and cartos daily for a pocket friendly device. During the "OMG they're going to regulate us" scare of April, I bought some larger battery mods for the apocalypse. Now I have a mixture of 510/ego, 808/ego, and 808 cig-sized batts. I do, however, have a lot more 808 threaded bats.

As for delivery devices, I used cartos almost exclusively during the first 6 months, but have tried some CE3s, Nanos, CE4s and CE5s. I have found, I think, that I like top coil, wick style devices. Currently I'm pretty happy with CE5s for my 510/egos and use some CE4s on my 808 stuff. My current plan is to try a new device every month or so. Since I have so many 808/egos, I will try the Titan (T2 type) from Halo as my next device. That's my plan...and I'm sticking to it...until I don't.

I started with the cheaper ecigarettes where you get a battery and two carts. I used it for about 3 weeks before looking into a more frugal option than the 5.25/day habit of analog and $3.00+/day cart replacements. The corner store had a pretty good handle on the local market in my area. I then found a smoke shop and bought my first tank with battery. I was ripped off too with the local prices, and finally purchased locally. I just bought yesterday the Ego-C Twist and am loving it so far. Unfortunately, it's my only VV battery at the moment, but that's changing tomorrow. I stick with the 510 system only because of the number of readily available retailers at this time. I see myself changing types sooner or later but after giving up the smelly cigs, I feel much better for not smelling so bad, having good breath, not being short of breath, and my wife finally willing to kiss me because I dont stink.
