Just wanting to share my experiences so far.
A little about me. I am a nerd with OCD and my friends say I am a cheap Chuck! What this boils down too is I like to do a lot of research and not spend money If I don't have to.
My Story: Before last Thanksgiving I was looking into vaping to quit dipping. I was spending around $30 a week on dip. I saw the ecig kits at the grocery store and thought I would do some research. I found these forums and got really confused. So I started asking questions on here and got some really good answers. I then saw a lady at work vaping on a ecig and asked her a few questions and she loaned me a battery and a couple of cartos for the Thanksgiving weekend. The cartos were menthol and she told me she got them monthly and had gone to 1 pack a week of real cigs between her and her husband. So I tried them for the weekend. The one battery had to be charged several times per day. Found out later it was like 180mah.
I knew I wanted to do the vaping thing at this point but didn't like having to charge the cigarette looking ecig so often. So I asked the question on ECF what I should start with and got the run around from some and then others said to get an ego battery and a clearomizer. So I ended up getting 3 ego 1100mah starter kits which came with a 1100 battery, starduster style clearomizer and a charger. I picked them up for $18 each. I ordered 6 extra clearomizers that were rebuildable "you can change the coil and wicks out". I had researched that a lot of people loved the Kangers and Vision clearomizers so I ordered 3 of each. Ok do you see the pattern of 3 here Nerdy OCD! So far I have the equipment but no juice. So I ordered 3 sample packs of juice from different vendors. This was Thanksgiving weekend and I got everything on the following Wednesday!
I filled everything up and started vaping. My last dip was Dec. 5th 2012. I remember this because it is my birthday, what a good present I gave myself.
Mid December I decided I wanted to try a mod and caught the "Vamo" on special and ordered it. I love it I can charge the battery and vape for about 2 or 3 evenings in between charges.
I watched some youtube videos on how to DIY juice and have now started making my own ejuice. I can mix my own juice for about $2 per 60ml. What a savings.
So now I am researching rebuildable tank atomizers.
My advice is to figure out what size of ecig you want and jump in. I feel that the advice to get the ego battery and clearomizer was good sound advice and that is what I would suggest.
