Looking for a better way . . .

[anncq]

Don't you just get sick to death of all the atty, carto, tank and simular stuff tasting and vaping so great the first day or so then comes switching stuff around . . . the batteries, and what have you to just get a decent hit off the freaking thing?
I've tried the eGo, the Gogo, a mod, High voltage, low resistance, regular.
Makes me want to just get a good drag off a cigarette if the things didn't taste so awful.
I've read about cleaning, not cleaning, replacing filler all that stuff.
Dreamed about putting some ejuice in a glass pipe and holding a lighter under it just to get a good satisfying lungful of vapor.
Why did I start doing this?
I have a very low budget and have to juggle stuff around until the monthly check comes in so I can try to get something fresh.
I got a mod for Christmas that came with 2-3.7 volt batteries. Not VV so everything I tried to use with it burned up within hours. Finally won some long 3.7 volts that makes it a 3.7 battery so things last longer, but that awesome high volt hit isn't there anymore.
I'm so frustrated; someone remind me why I do this.

You do it for kids, yours, not yours, any kid that sees a person smoke and thinks "thats cool", because we all know its not. You do it for the people around you. For their health, and so they don't have to smell the stinky sticks. You do it to give the finger to the tobbaco companies that got you hooked and sold you cancer. But most importantly you do it for YOU!!! If your vaping you know its the right thing to be doing while the nic fix is inside you. Nicotine addiction aint going anywhere soon, but the cancer, money to the fat cats, negative impressions to the kids out there, and horible contamination of those around you can.
If you quit vaping no one is going to scold you. But the dissapiontment of not sticking it out, years down the line will eventualy bit you in the ###.

I know your a smart person because your trying. I KNOW you can do it. And if you do quit vaping I'll understand, and be happy to vape while you smoke right next to you. If you keep vaping, well thats simply great. But you did ask why, and I hope I answered a bit of your quagmire. We are here for you, at ECF, weather your on analogs or e cigs. Never go away.

You do it because you're sick of all the negatives that come with smoking - including the ridiculously high cost of it. I bet we all have times when we want to throw our PVs through a wall (I had one today), but perseverance will pay off. Honest. Just keep on trying.

...you do it for your health and family...with 3.7v PV, try single coil cartos rated at 1.7 ohms like the Resurrectors(AKA Smoktech XL 1.7ohm cartos) sold at crystalclearvaping.com and other vendors...you may also wish to use a juice with a VG ratio between 30-50%...switching flavors and drinking plenty of water along with your vaping can help keep the flavs good as well....good luck and Happy Vaping............

You do it for your health,you'll get used to it.Good Luck.

Ditto to all of the above and more. It is so worth it, especially when you don't wheeze everytime you lay down or go up the stairs. It is worth it when you don't have to take your favorite coat to the cleaners to get the smoke smell out or worse, throw it away because you burnt another hole in it. Hang in there.

Thanks for the pep talk.
If I had plenty of funds I would get a ProVari or a Darwin but, beggars can't b choosers. Have to use what I can afford.

Get a lavatube then. Very cheap VV device. Or get the box mod from madvapes. Pretty much cheapest VV mod available. Is all you're looking for is a VV device?

 

[anncq]

I totally agree, I've gone through a number of mods , atties, tanks...spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on the hardware alone.

Nothing works consistantly, and as such I can't recommend vaping to anyone. I'm only doing it to not smoke, not because it is easy or enjoyable.

 

[GetVaked]

I just bought one mod, a 3.7v Box Mod from Madvapes. Has lasted me ever since, and is the only vape I have/need. It cost me 23 bucks, very cheap...

I have been using MadVapes 510 Dual Coil Stainless Cartomizers, and 510 Dual Coil Stainless Mega XL Cartomizer, with ZERO ISSUES. Can fill BOTH using the condom method, drip a bit on the top of the XL afterwords as well.

Great vaping. 16mg Banana, 16mg Cheesecake, 16mg Waffle are my favorites.

I read this and cackled like the old crone I am! Now I'm sitting here going....nah, wouldn't work.....would it?...Hmm...why not?....but what if it did , and I LIKED it like that? Can't exactly light it up in ..anywhere.

Whichever one of us tries it first , report to the other, ok? btw, bet you were the one the other kids mothers called a Bad Influence

 

[anncq]

Nope, cause I never even tried that stuff, but my son was messed up with it for along time and I found those little glass things around a threw them away. He beat it and is clean now praise the good Lord.
I had 3 girls and 1 boy and always had a houseful of kids. Went to church every time the doors opened and even had a Christian singing group called HIS with my girls.
LOL!

look at all the texans...that is just great...love to see fellow texans here. I had the same problem and am also on a very limited budget. Budget makes it hard when you see so many things on here and think...wow...that might work. I am enjoying my vaping right now as I just purchased an old goat bottom feeder. He has them on sale for 25.00 through the end of march. It is 3.7 volt and is using my 100% vg alien visions juice just fine. I am learning how to use my first atty with it and 3rd day with no problems. before that I used boge cartos on it with the 100% vg ...no problems. I love this thing. Sure, it is not an expensive top of the line mod...but it works great. I love the bottom feed too.

It takes a bit to get used to things. I just switched to the ego c and I also use the Apollo tank, they don't work consistent all the time like analogs of course but the ego types work better than the ones that look like cigs. It was a tab bit awkward at first. I am slowly learning and I am at the point now where I just need to figure out what juice to use at what point in the day. I think the egos are way easier than regular cigs.

 

[anncq]

Well, I took the batteries out of my mod and used a long stem cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the contact and then cleaned the posts and bottom of all my batteries. I put it back together and low and behold . . . worked great. I put the newest HV atty I had that I thought was dead on it (just checkin') and it fired up. I only used it about 24 hours so I held on to it.
Now I am happily vaping again.
I think that some of my juice had dripped into the case I keep stuff in and got onto the batteries and then on the little metal thing inside the mod tube and so it wasn't making good contact.

Yeah it's good to see Texans on here.
I am a member of Central Texas Vapors and go to all the Meet-ups. They are lots of fun and always get to try new flavors and check out other members hardware. So if anyone from Texas lives close to Austin do a Google search for Central Texas Vapors and check it out. I live in Taylor which is about 30 miles from there and don't mind the drive since it is only once a month. There are groups in Houston and Dallas too.

i too am frustrated beyond relief.. nothing is consistent. i really hate cartos, since with some juices they seem to work (muted flavor, disgusting flavor, little vapor, etc), and other ones they seem to have endless problems.
