Well, I finally made the leap. What I mean is that from what I have noticed during my time in ECF is that there seems to be a progression or evolution of gear that people seem to go through on average. My progess has been from the PureSmoke (Thank you for visiting PureSmoke Online) to the VapCig (Electric Cigarette - Electronic Cigarette In Us) to the Volcano (Volcano Fine Electronic Cigarette...home of the best eCig) to the 510 (510 Kits) and a few odds and ends found at shops around town.

Today, I ordered 2 Tornado Batts, a cone, a mega powered charger, a 5 pack of mega atties and 10 of the mega carts. I can hardly contain my eagerness for my delivery to arrive. I think if I had been a bit more 'brave' about my gear choosing, earlier in my vapin' life, I would have started with the gear I just ordered and would of saved money overall.

I have learned to mix my own juices and enjoy having multiple flavors to vape on in some sort of flavor rotation. Besides, I think it best for the longevity of my gear (atties and batts) to not over use any one unit to death if possible. So I will still keep my other units in rotation, still going through routines of topping off carts, charging batts and fiddling with stuff to make it better.

It becomes apparent after a while that this 'hobby' of flavored nicotine enjoyment has its learning curve and I appreciate the experiences expressed by many of the individuals and suppliers at ECF that has brought me (and others) to this point in or own evolution.

That's a common theme that seems to be almost unavoidable. It's just one of those things that new users seem to have to experience firsthand, regardless of what more experienced users advise.

The good news is that you made a great choice in the Tornado/eGo early on. The even better news is that your time-line corresponds with the Tornado/eGo's and you were able to choose one. See, a year ago or so when I was in your position there was no such thing as a battery that lasted for 8+ hours, not in such a small device anyway.

Sure, it would have been great if you could have jumped into the game in the 7th inning. But at least you had timing on your side and got in the game around the 4th inning with the Tornado/ego. Some of us had to start in the low minors swinging a super mini e-cigarette, pretending it was a Louisville slugger... LOL

I think that it's great that you spent time researching the forum and reading all the threads. So many people just jump in blindly and when they have a bad experience they say "Oh well, this is just not for me" and give up.

I am glad that you are enjoying your vaping experience, I own an Ego and enjoy it very much.

Happy vaping!

I guess a home run is a home run whenever you hit it.

I hope that the gear continues to evolve. I don't know if the FDA rulings or the Senate bills in many states will drive our community underground and make us criminals for vaping, but for now, it's a home run as far as I can tell here at ECF.
