After being on the forum a couple years you see it over and over again. Everyone wants something just like a cigarette and as soon as they get it they want to upgrade.

Yea, that's what people kept telling me and I was stubborn! But once I tried the Twist and the guy told me how to use it, I was pretty much hooked, the flavor, the vapor that came out of that thing compared to my bad knock off and 'cig a likes' was like night and day.

I'm pretty sure my mom is set on this though, I've been pushing my Twist on her and she really does like what it does, but says she just has NO interest in using one herself. She's using the disposables and a Green Smoke, she doesn't seem to use her auto V2 very often, but likes what she's using. I can't really argue, if that's what she likes. I even tried to get her to get one of the really small ego's and she was just not having it.

I am in love with my Twists now, I just like customizing them lol.

Probably not exactly what your looking for BUT.... I went from a ego ctwist to the Itaste mvp 2.0 and AMAZING I don't have to worry about charging it all the time. I can go for a few days without charging. More adjustable than the ego and I Can put anything on the top of this and it will work. I'm still a newb myself but I can't say enough good about the mvp. Top it with an aspire bdc ce5 and it's a winner in my book.

I had one of the v2 autos when I first started and hated it. Had to prime it and it wasted juice. Give your MOM time. She will see you with the better ecig and eventually move up. Especially when she finds out hers cost twice as much in the long run.

Yea, I'm sure, I hope anyway lol.

LOL, I'm not quite there yet! I did see an itaste (don't remember the model), it wasn't much (if any) bigger then the Twist, that got my attention! But I am REALLY happy with my Twists and so far I haven't run them dead (although I keep charging them at night). I didn't charge my pink one last night so I can see how long it goes for me, but I can fill up my mini protank and not even use half of it in a day so my vaping style is pretty light!

Never charge any batteries overnight . Always keep and eye on them and every so often feel them to make sure they are not hot. They will get slightly warm but never hot. There are many posts on here about battery safety. There is always the possibility of a failure, I had an 1100mah battery overheat on the first charge. While this doesn't happen often it is a consideration for all vapers. Be safe.

I know, I don't charge them OVER night, just AT night, when I'm laying down, after I get my kiddos off to bed and I know I'm not going anywhere again for a while. I've read a lot of posts about not over charging them.

I'm still using my pink setup, last charged it Friday evening... that's pretty darn good to me!

Ugh, went to use my my stainless setup yesterday and the tank just spilled all my liquid out! I bought the protank 2 mini with the clear glass, but bought the purple glass to replace it so there's a little color, well apparently the one that I got didn't have the rubber ring on the end so it just poured out. It sucked SO BAD! I'm so impatient, I don't wanna deal with set backs lol.

On a happier note though, I was wanting to buy one of those ego holders but didn't really wanna spend the money right now so I took an old toothbrush holder (don't use it b/c it's glass, but cute and decorative) and sure enough, they fit perfectly!

columbus, oh
they really should make all starter sets a spinner at the minimum. The first two times i tried to do the ecig thing were failures. the first was with the Mystics from Wallyworld and the second was a cheapo ego starter set. The user experience is SO much better with a VV or VW device. Better vapor better flavor. Its like the blind finally being able to see. Wonder how many people give up on Ecigs because they have crappy equipment?

You're probably right lol. My first 'ego' was a cheap knock off and I hated it, but the little cig a likes weren't doing it for me either. I almost gave up on it myself, but I went to a local vape shop and they put the Twist in my hand, showed me how to work it and I am thrilled. The best part is, the more I've used it, the less I want reg. cigs, like I TRIED to smoke an analog this morning (b/c I had no intention of just STOPPING cold turkey, that never works for me, but I've gone from a pack a day to 4 a day), I smoked half the cig before I just couldn't smoke anymore, it just didn't taste good anymore!

I was really scared of the VV honestly because I knew I had no clue how to work it, but I really love it, it's not hard AT ALL and I love having options! I'm actually now looking at some of these mods lol (I cannot believe I just said that!), nothing big, but more powerful. Idk if it's my taste changing, but what was strong a week ago isn't as strong now. Is that normal???

Pretty much all the ce4 tanks I've tried leak in some way or another.
Have you tried V2 cigs's new EX clear cartomizers?They're pretty sweet, they don't leak and produce more vapor than the carts. They have a new coupon for 15% off kits that I just used: resolution2014 and it worked with the 50% Off deal they are having TODAY ;)

That's Random! lol

Lol that's just me in a nutshell: I get a device, then immediately wanna upgrade it to something bigger, more advanced, more techy - when the thing I'm using is fine. (It's an Evod btw) I've got something sturdy, reliable, and well made, so I'm gonna stick with what works well for me before planning future purchases.

I'd probably choose the Protank over the Evod, even though it's more expensive; the tank is glass, so can't be harmed by certain flavours of liquid, and is fully rebuildable. Right now, I've got a spare mini t3s, so I'm gonna definitely be getting one of those twists; those VV units sound very cool. If you turn the power up too high, can it blow or damage your coils?
