Yeah, get a drip tip. I forgot to mention that. There might be one in the kit, but they're cheap.

Eventually, you might want a tank or a clearomizer. A clearomizer holds a lot more juice and you don't need to top it off. You can see how much juice you have and vape it till it's almost empty. But clearomizers are finicky, especially with thick juice. There is only one kind that I ever use for thick juice. I don't use cartomizer tanks either. Too much hassle getting the hole in the carto just the right size. I use Fluxomizers and Vision Stone 3 tanks. You can see them at Gotvapes.com.

Once you get some practice with topping off a carto, you can do it at a stoplight or even as you drive. You just drop a few drops right through the drip tip. Only at the beginning will you need to see what you're doing.

I just got the VTube, very much like the LavaTube (the vtube came in a stainless steel finish, which is what I wanted). And after several months of using a riva 510, I've got to say the difference is staggering. Every juice tastes "new" again. All I can say is wow.

As for juice flavors, Pink Spot Vapors probably has some of my current faves. Try the Swagger, Almond Joyz and Frozen Lime Drop.

I almost got the stainless Vtube on the pre-order. At one time, they had a coupon code and it would have been like $58. But it was still a version 1 and I already had one of those.

I have the black Vtube and I love it. But the version 1.5 has significant improvements. When the chrome or stainless version of the 1.5 comes out, I'll get one of those. Apollo won't be making the stainless one again. They took a beating on the pre-order sale because it cost them a lot more to make than they had planned. I'd love to see a stainless with the 1.5 electronics though. I'd be all over that.

Get the full kit. You can get the version 1.5 at crystalclearvaping.com for $75 shipped with batteries, charger and case.
Vaporbeast has the version 2 for $70 shipped, but they might be out of stock....

Crystal clear is now out of stock as well, so I kept looking and I vaguely remembered someone posting that smokeanywhereforpennys.com had the version 1.5. Lo & behold, they're selling the 1.5 kit for $59.95! I pulled the trigger and bought one...at least I'll have tons of tasty vapor to keep me company while enduring the wife aggro.

That might be an even better deal than CCV as long as the shipping isn't $10. CCV had free shipping and an extra atomizer, plus I think they sent better batteries and a nice carto if you were one of the first 100 orders.

You'll love it, I can tell you that.

They charge shipping for orders under $100...I think standard shipping was something like $5.50. Of course, after adding a some extra cartos & attys, a 5mL DCT and some other odds and ends I was right up around $95...so I said what the hell and threw in a ming vase tip to get over the threshold.

I am really looking forward to receiving the v.1.5 ... waiting for the thing to arrive is going to suck.
