Long Time Lurker of ECF.com

[_duffman_]

Well I have been lurking around the ECF.com boards for awhile now and figured I would finally register and introduce myself. I was a smoker from the age of 15 until I was 25 and one day while during pre-deployment training I decided to quit and entered the world of e-cigs. I have been using e-cig's for about 5 months now and recently upgraded from my very boring and very beat up VGO to a Silver Bullet from Altsmoke.com (still waiting to receive it.) I loved the VGO to start out with but the limitations with the thread pattern has kept me from getting better tanks, atomizers, etc without a thread adapter. So, I decided to upgrade.

I would say that the VGO (1 900mah battery from EVCigs and 2 650mah from smokesation.com) is very durable. I've been deployed for 5 months and these things have been dropped in sand, on concrete, 3/4 inch plywood, and everything under the sun and except for scratches it still works great and will end up being my EDC e-cig while here, and when outside doing tasks back in the rear.


My wife has Cystic Fibrosis and has been trying to get me to quit for the longest time and this website has definitely helped me do that. I would just like to thank everyone here on ECF.com for the help and guidance on this new adventure in my life.

Thank you for your service. Congrats on making the switch to e-cigs. Welcome to the site.
Stay safe and stay strong.

Welcome to ecf duffman!

The silver bullet might be old and a bit bulky... But it could be used as a weapon in case of emergency! It is a super solid, well built and reliable mod.

Congratulations on your switching, you made your wife and yourself a huge favor!

Well originally I wanted to go with Provari or another VV/VW but at this point right now I think one of those is a little over kill for me. I like to use atomizers but tanks are really the only thing I use and since I have a lot of LR stuff here I figured the 3.7v would be the best route.

The Silver Bullet will definitely fit in my flashlight pouch on my Plate Carrier so if I ever run out of ammo I have it as a back up. LOL

The questions is has anyone used the Silver Bullet as a weapon? That would definitely be a story to read.

The Silver Bullet is tried and true. Good choice.

The Silver Bullet is tried and true. Good choice.

That's one of the reasons why I got it. When I see something that has over 400 plus reviews it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling before purchasing it. So I know I'm getting something good. I'm going to be running a CartoTank on it, so this will be my first experience with that. I was going to get a MAP tank but really didn't feel like forking out the money for that.

Also ordered some new atomizers and a Drip shield. Luckily they had some in stock cause from the looks of it the Drip Shield is a hot item and sells out quickly.

I also have a question about the e-liquid. With the temperature getting over 120 degrees here, I tend to find that my e-liquid gets really runny and I barely get a hit. Is there a way to fight this, like getting a more VG based liquid or am I just screwed on this one?
