Moving beyond plug and vape?

[SharonMM]

So I've been vaping exclusively for nearly three months, and I'm realizing I haven't really progressed beyond my original setup. Vision spinner and evods and standard 510 dripping attys for testing. I'm pretty happy with it.. it has kept me analog free for this long and I think it always will. Mission accomplished, right?

But I'm to the point now that I'm feeling kindof embarrassed that I'm still using the newbie starter set. I'm getting a complex from reading in the newcomers forum and they're asking like, really seriously technical questions, and half the time I need to google the terms they use. And here I am with three months experience. Is it weird that I'm not using a more awesome device?

I didn't even get a Twist for several months - just regular 650 eGos. If it works, it works, that's all you need....but toys, on the other hand, are what you want...

If your happy with your set up Im thrilled with it. Its ok to try new bigger and better but nothing wrong with sticking with what you have if your getting what you need.
There is no right or wrong answer just what ever suits your fancy.

I agree if it works for you then thats what matters.I have tried many set ups but my wife has her twists and cartos and is perfectly happy.As long as its helping you then vape on my friend

Agreed. No need to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading. The question then, is this. Is there anything about your current set-up that you don't like or want to improve? If there's something specific you'd like to change we can probably point you in the right direction. If you don't need anything from a vape that your current rig doesn't give you, just stick with it.

Vape on

Been vaping on egos and clearos for seven months - slow down sister

I still use an evod and a twist daily. I also like being able to tailor my experience making my own coils, wicks and juices.

I'm addicted to fiddling though.

I think the vision spinner is a very respectable battery. One of my favorites. If you want to upgrade a vamo is a really good start at a reasonable price point. I have found I really like having a bunch of the rechargeable batteries charged up to use. I can go a week without hardly charging anything. Getting prepared for hurricane season.

Vaping is a process that is different for everyone. As far as I'm concerned, if what you are using works for you then it is the perfectly correct way for you to vape. If it makes you feel any better, keep in mind most vapers are not on ECF and they have not even got to eGos or Spinners yet. Vape on

Like a few have said - I used cig a likes for months before "graduating" to a twist. Whatever meets your current needs is the set up for you and if that is spinner batteries and evods, then that's great.

 

[tA71ana]

Whatever floats your boat and keeps you off the ciggies is the name of this game
I used 650/900 Ego/1000mAh+twist with cartos for nearly a year.
Now I'm into mods and an AGR tank but only because I wanted a stronger vape with lotsa clouds.
If you are happy with what you have and it suits you well, no need to change your rig.

I look at vaping gear (specifically, how it is discussed on the internet) like I look at the phenomenon of something like the Apple iPhone. Now, I've had every version of the iPhone since the 3G in 2008. I've never had any problems with mine, and they've always done exactly what I wanted them to do. HOWEVER, as soon as a new model is announced, I start nitpicking tiny things about the model I own, I swoon over the photos of the new model like a fanboy, and read every pre-release review. Then sure enough, on the day the new model is released, I feel like I HAVE to run out and buy it, or else I'll be shunned by the entire population of Apple product owners.

But is any of that really an issue? Of course I know in reality it's not. When any regular joe cellphone-owner sees me using my phone in public, do they give a crap what model it is? No, of course not. It should only matter to me. Similarly, no one in the "real world" () will care or even comprehend what vaping set-up you have. Jeez, even when someone sees someone else with a Blu stick battery on the street they're still like "Oh my god, what is that bizarre alien technology?!" So just relax, put your credit card away, and really think about what you want. If you're happy with your gear, that's fine. You're already a member of our super cool private club, no matter how you vape. Haha. And believe me, I (and probably a bunch of other people here) have a whole pile of vaping gear I jumped on and bought and ended up not liking, when I already owned perfectly good stuff.

Editor's note: does this hypocritical advice keep me from buying more? No, I placed 2 orders this weekend.

I love every little or big SS, purple, green, or pink battery I have. They all got me off cigs and for me that was monumental. Vape on.

 

[tnash]

All great answers here. If you like what you have, fine. Next search for your favorite juices. No thats an eternal quest...lol.
But vamo's are nice to save money with the cheaper batteries.

 

[Unfettered]

I've vaped off and on for almost 4 years and I just got my first mod 3 days ago. Joye 510s and eGo bats (regular, no twists or spinners) are all I've ever known, so you're already miles ahead of where I was 3 days ago.

I had the same feeling for a little while. I spent over a week convincing myself that I NEED this VV battery because the people on ECF keep telling me (indirectly) that I NEED a VV battery.

But I like my plain old nothing-fancy-about-'em EGO batteries. They work just fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

[SASmith]

It must be the 3 month itch, I also am very happy with my twists................but I am feeling the lure of bigger shiny things. For me I think it is mostly curiosity, I currently have a Vamo V3 in my shopping cart.lol

 

[klynnn]

I look at it in a different way. If any portion of what we use is banned or unavailable I want to be prepared. I doubt they will ban batteries that work in flashlights but the way things in this country are going who knows. When I see cigarettes promoted over a better alternative because of the taxing properties I cringe.

I say keep using what you have at the moment (make sure you have backups for your backups though). Shiny is nice to chase, but it's never ending. If you're not chasing now, don't start. Save everything you would've spent on smoking and when you are ready to drop some $ on the right mod, you'll have it.

 

[mcol]

Started months ago with my 808 batts and am vaping on one now. Don't use them a lot but my other stuff is equivalent not an upgrade. I suspect there are more here than you realize that still use the basic setup.
