New and Loving It

[VincentRVenturella]

Hello All,

I just wanted to stop in and join the community. I traded Cigarettes for vaping about 3 months ago and I have never looked back. It turned something that made me feel bad (both mentally and physically) into a truly positive and fulfilling experience. Glad to be part of the community!

Welcome to ECF!

And congratz on kicking the cigarettes.

What kind of setup do you have?

 

[VincentRVenturella]

I started when my Wife got me some Green Smoke. Then a friend introduced me to the wider world available. I am currently using some EVODs and Ego twist batteries. I have been thinking about taking a step up, but I am not sure where I want to go yet. juice wise, I have been using mainly stuff from Vape Wild, which I am super happy with (my fav so far is the Creme d'menthe).

 

[Fattlestar]

You might want to look at an Innokin MVP2 and maybe some of the Kanger Aerotanks. The EVODs and Twists are pretty solid for starter gear though. Finding the right juice is probably the hardest (and most expensive part), so if you've found some you like you're already way ahead of the game.

Do you like box style mods or would you rather stick with ego-style (the pen shaped ones)?

Hello and welcome to the forum Vincent. Glad to have you here!

 

[VincentRVenturella]

Thank you Susan, I am glad to be here! I definitely want to rely on the wisdom of the community before I go forward as I am a "look before I leap" kind of guy.

I think I prefer ego style, there is something more comfortable in the hand. I don't know if that limits me in some way, but ergonomically, its what I would prefer. Yeah, I am very happy with the juice, I have even started mixing them to try some new flavors and barring a few mistakes I have liked what came out the other side. Why do you recommend those step-ups?

 

[Fattlestar]

That's not limiting, there are plenty of tube mods out there if you ever decide to step up, and also lots of nice ego style batteries are popping up with much better lifespan and features (IPOW 2 seems like a nice step up! Variable Wattage up to 15w gives a very good range.)

I've had good experiences with Vapewild, my favorites so far are the Peanut Butter and Strawberries and Cream. Good stuff, good price. Do you have a B&M near you? B&M's can be very helpful when starting out (although that's hit or miss, but worth a shot to go see stuff and handle gear before buying)

 

[VincentRVenturella]

I assume B&M is Brick and Mortar, and yes, I am lucky that I have an AltSmoke near me, which seems to be a pretty nice place with some good experts. Have you had good experience with B&M or is it generally to be avoided?

 

[Fattlestar]

Personally I've had bad experiences where I live with the B&M's. But that was with staff - you can always use the B&M just to get a good close up look at vape gear even if the staff is clueless. But some B&M's have "juice bars" where you can try lots of different flavors, which, even if you don't buy from them, can give you a good idea of flavor profiles you may want to order from places online.

I've not been in an Altsmoke before, but if the people seemed knowledgeable, that may be a good place to get more info. Besides here at ECF, that is.

 

[VincentRVenturella]

Cool thanks, one last question, where else should I be looking for Juice if I want to try some other places. Any other recommendations?

 

[Fattlestar]

If you are looking for budget juice, ITCvapes.com comes highly recommended. Slightly more expensive than VapeWild and requires steeping, but lots of good reviews coming from there.

Halo is another good place to start, but pricier.
