This is my first contest

) I'm new to the
vaping world and still trying to figure out what device would be best for me. I was first suckered in by those scam e-cig deals (trial offers) and spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on low quality over priced equipment, carto's, carts, atomizers, etc. Some of the pre-filled carts I purchased gave me a migraine from whatever terrible tasting nic liquid they filled them with. Then I found this forum and my eyes were opened! The people here are so nice. I posted in the newbie forum telling my story and how being on disability it was disheartening to have wasted all that money on garbage equipment. I wanted to learn more so I wouldn't throw away anymore money.
Quitting smoking is not an option for me. After a heart attack last year at age 43 I now have a stent in my heart. If I continue to smoke analogs my stent will become clogged in a matter of a few years at the most and I will suffer either another heart attack or a stroke according to my cardiologist. The people on this forum stepped up out of the goodness of their hearts after reading my story and offered to send me things to get me started in the
vaping world. I was over whelmed with their generosity and do plan to PIF to someone else here some day very soon.
I am still fumbling around with trying to find my "sweet spot", learning about the different equipment and wanting to try something other than the mini 510 set I purchased recently and the Riva set that a member of this forum so generously sent to me. I'm learning through experience that all blank cartos are not the same and I need to read the description before ordering as I do not care for the LR carto's and I still don't know what is the difference when they list the "ohms" and what that exactly means.
I'm learning how to mix my own flavored e-juices and while I haven't been able to post in this forum lately due to being ill (I was actually
vaping in a bed in the Emergency room last weekend and the nurses were simply fascinated with my Riva and wanting to know more about this stuff!!

I told them all about this great forum too!) I have not disappeared or went back to analogs completely. Although I still haven't quit analogs all together I have successfully dropped from a 2.5 pack a day habit to less than a pack a day. For me this is a triumph and I hope to continue this trend eventually (hopefully) quitting analogs all together.
With my car still in the shop and the current repair bill at $880 (might be more if there is an issue with the transmission that fixing the electrical problem didn't solve.... it was down shifting hard enough to chirp the tires all by itself) I won't be able to order any new equipment or extras for my new hobby (errr... obsession lol) for at least a month with that bill looming over my head and I really want to try an Ego as I've learned some juices taste better in my small 510 kit and some taste better in the Riva.
So I figure other devices will have a similar effect depending on what type of juice I put in there. IOW I am anxious to try other types of vaping equipment and find that "sweet spot" everyone talks about! I've been sent (by a number of wonderfully giving members here) and have ordered from a couple of ECF approved vendors over the past month a bunch of juices, flavoring and accessories. My goal (and what keeps me off analogs) is finding that perfect mix of flavor that I just can't stop vaping. When I do stumble across it, analogs taste terrible and I won't even smoke the entire thing after lighting one up. I want to get down to never lighting another one again someday.
So basically that is my story and I would love to enter this contest to win an Ego system.
My number is 6 since that has always been my lucky number.

I've only ordered items from 3 reputable vendors so far after finding this forum and I have been very pleased with what I received as well as the customer service. I've never ordered from you before but I have just started out so I'm sure I will! I would rather spend my money on vaping juices, flavoring, equipment, accessories, etc. than to spend my $$$ on analogs!!! As soon as my car repair bill is cleared up I'll be ordering more things as this has become a fun hobby for me. I currently have 3 plastic storage tubs, a small mini milk crate looking container, and a large shoe box that I have my vaping supplies organized into. In a few months I see myself needing a few more of those small see through storage tubs. LOL
Thanks for having a contest in which people like myself who don't have a lot of money but really want to explore this vaping world much further may be able to win some stuff we might not be able to afford at the time.
