Howdy all. Been soaking up info around here for a bit now so I figured I'd make an account and say hey. Sure do wish I'd found this site earlier, would have saved me a whole bunch of money :laugh:

I turned 28 last month and realized I'd been smoking ~pack/day for a friggin' decade :facepalm: Around the same time my friend was passing around a referal code for V2 (kr808) so I decided to give it a shot. All in all, not bad. If I hadn't gotten so gadget happy and fallen in love with all the crazy liquids out there I'd probably still be happily vaping away on the prefilled cartos they sell. Alas, it was not to be :)

My biggest issue with them was the filler. I swear I can taste it on every drag, even if I just filled it. And if it gets low... oh man. Once I get that taste in my mouth I can never get it out! So I went shopping. Picked up some Vortex "clearomizers" from GotVapes, and they were amazing... when they worked. A couple days in they started leaking and falling apart... the ones that are still functioning are near impossible to clean... so I gave up on those. Found some CE2 cartos (Hardest time I've ever had finding something in stock online), but couldn't ever really get rid of that funky burning type taste that people talk about, even after repeated cleaning, so I'm not real pleased there either.

So, I'm now anxiously awaiting delivery of my ego-t. It seems to take care of most of my main concerns (battery life, being able to tell how much is left, and the filler problem). I have high hopes for it, even if I am preparing myself to deal with an occasional leak.

Overall I'm really happy with the switch. If only for the flavors. To think of all the time I've spent smoking cigarettes, when I could have been vaping bubble gum, cotton candy, and gummy bear! MMmmMm :laugh: That said, I have found it tough to give up on analogs entirely. Every couple of days get the urge for one, even though I really don't enjoy them much, and it seems like after that 1 I want another, and then another. So it's to the point now where I smoke 2-3 every 2-3 days, which is still down like 95% or so from what I used to smoke, so thats a win in my book. I never expected it to happen overnight anyways. Hoping maybe I can toss them away for good when the ego arrives, but we'll see.

Anyways, sorry if I rambled a bit, thanks for reading :)

One thing I was wondering about: I picked up some Gummy Bear liquid from Rockstar and it got really thick as I used it. To the point where the last bit really wasn't even worth vaping, it didn't wick well or anything. If I took a series of long drags it would actually burn, tasted like burned sugar, and left a real dark, viscous liquid behind. I've read around the some of them seem to be sugar based???? Is this something I should expect from the candy flavored stuff or is it just this one in particular? I've gotten others from them - bubble gum and whatnot - and had no problems.

Hello Dunlap...new myself been lurking for about a month. Ive been vaping for a lil over a month but have spent a boat load of $ trying to find what works for me. I have bought a REO Woodvil, REO Mini, Ego-t, Xhaler mini, Go-Go and Igo lol. I didnt really like the Ego-t so I have since been using it with a Ikenvape 510 mega lr carto with an ego cone and drip tip.....soooo much better. My favs are the Go-Go, Igo and Woodvil for their battery life and juice capacity. Good luck with your ego-t and if you dont like it you can always do what I did.
