My biggest thing right now is finding something versatile, I have a lot of cartos for my V2 and Green Smoke that I don't want going to waste, I LOVE the way the cig a likes feel right now (trying VERY hard to quit analogs), I have an 1100 mAh ego (which I'm pretty sure now is a super cheap knock off!) and I just don't like the size. I'm willing to try a smaller (shorter) one. I've been looking at Halo since I started this journey (only 2 weeks ago). I honestly want a Halo G6 with the mini tank, but apparently no one thinks ANY cig a like is a good option... I'm trying :unsure:

If you have not quit the cigs yet and you are interested in the cigalikes then GO FOR THE CIGALIKES,

It was cigalikes that got me off the cigs to begin with; and I expect for many people that was the start of the journey; even if you try to make a jump ahead, it's good to at least have a decent cigalike as a backup in case you get tempted for a cigarette.

edyle - Thank you for that, I think I have figured it out finally and that's what I am going with and then I'm going to stop thinking about it because then I'll just change my mind again! It goes along the lines of what djs is showing.

My biggest reason for 'liking' cartos isn't really because I like them lol, it's because I just dropped some $ on a bunch of carto stuff and it hasn't even all come in the mail yet! Only the first of it came in YESTERDAY! I don't like wasting money since I don't really have much! So this is what I've decided to do, I'm going to get a tank ( e-Smart clearomizers - package of 5 ) and yes I know they're disposable, but I haven't been able to find any that are 808 threaded that aren't (I only have 1 V2 battery so these should last a while) and use my V2 with the tanks AND my cartos so I'm not wasting them, but I'm also going to buy a mini ego kit I found ( Ego Mini Starter Set - 2 Complete E Cigs - Only $35.00!! ) unless anyone can suggest an equally small but higher mAh (like a 400mAh maybe, still don't love that my V2's mAh is higher). Then of course I'll probably start looking into tanks, but HOPEFULLY I will be satisfied enough for a while lol.

yup; been there; I'm pretty sure quite a few here have been there too;

I always tell people: whatever you used to spend per month, budget to spend HALF on vaping;
Once you overspend one month, your head should be telling you to wait till next month before getting tempted to get something else.
Get your money's worth this month.

I still have about 30 to 50 cartridges and anther 5 or to cartomizers which I bought around July/August when I started;

LOL, well the good thing is, I haven't spent THAT much, I've actually been good with sales and coupon codes so I probably spent about $20 in STUFF (including juice b/c I've been buying SMALL bottles), but I haven't paid ANYTHING for ANY of the E cigs themselves! My mom actually bought the V2 kit and gave me the manual battery b/c she didn't like it, Green Smoke gave me a starter kit for free and I should be getting a free 5 pack of cartos from them any day now b/c they ones in the kit were NOT my thing (menthol and cloves!). I have spent probably about $15 on disposables though when I first started, trying to figure out what I'd like, oh and $15 for my ego knock off, which is probably why I don't like it! I'd say not too bad, I'd spend that in about a week and a half of smoking analogs!

IMG_20140123_204617_280.jpg I actually only bought 4 replacement heads, they're 2.2ohm.

That's the last of the pictures, but when i got home and emptied my tank (tried some juice there that I didn't like) I realized the guy got juice EVERYWHERE, it was on my battery, the outside of the tank and the outside of the coil (that goes into the tank)! I was NOT happy. Since I have NO idea how to clean or care for these, I just got a q-tip and cleaned it all up that way and washed out the tank, I'm letting it dry now. Wish it didn't go down that way b/c I was REALLY looking forward to putting my YUMMY juice in it and enjoy this new gadget of mine!
