New guy on the fast track

[jakematic]

now I really, really enjoy a good pipe tobacco. (I know, heresy.) But they taste and smell so much better now when they're an occasional indulgence instead of a regular thing.

Oooooh... hand't thought about that.
Have to fire up a short pipe this weekend just to see - am more of a winter time pipe smoker.

Boy that thing looks stupid on my VV3 and I have to use it on passthrough because it sucks the battery.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ok I have to go do that now just to see what it looks like.

Figured that will keep me until the Provari 3.0 comes out, right?

I think you'll like the ProVari, but like you am looking forward to v3.0.


Edit: And now.. on a Friday afternoon, your handle is making me crave a Molson Ice

quite a story happy for ya. I dropped my daughter off at her grandparents house one day on the way home I had 2 cigs left but instead of buying more I went to the vape shop. The vape shop here sucks lol. Spent 50 bucks and left of course ive upgraded since lol. But After I smoked those last 2 cigs later that evening I havent touched an analog since. Already starting to feel better.

I like your style man, I started similarly, a friend showed up with a cheap ego clone from a gas station. I visited the local vape shop and started out with an innokin vv3. From there I rapidly acquired an MVP2, a nemesis mod, a vamo v5 and a rainbow spinner just because I liked the look. Toppers include a couple of Kayfun clones, an aerotank, many iClears of various sorts, a number of EVODs a couple of mini-protanks and some other stuff.

Have you started mixing your own juices yet? My first couple of attempts aren't bad but they aren't great either, I still have a lot to learn.

I've managed to avoid buying a provari as yet but I have just put myself on an 8 week waiting list for a custom turned wooden mod

Heh, I love Blackpool and that was a shock after no cigarettes. Although I have some Devil Dogs calling my name when it's had a chance to steep for a bit. It's a heavy English blend style from Ahlusion with a lot of Latakia in it. Smells wonderful. At least to a pipe smoker. To anyone else it would smell like, well, dirty sweat socks. It is Latakia after all.

I think you'll like the ProVari, but like you am looking forward to v3.0.

I'm not liking the waiting! Although I may put aside my KFL until it gets here. It just draws on that battery so heavily and I would like to keep my VV3 alive. The 3.0, well, I do wonder what ProVape has up their sleeve. They were the ones who started DC mods, so ...

Haven't found a beer yet, but I have found a couple of decent wines. VV's In Vino Veritas is a nice white, albeit a little chewy. And right now I have Ahlusion's Ole! in my KFL. It's a very light, southern Baja style sangria. Lots of fruit and floral notes to it.

Wonder how hard it would be to make a beer vape? It wouldn't be that different from 'making love in a canoe' American style beer.

Not yet, but it's on my short list of things to do.
Have gone off many of the flavors I liked at first.

Mmmmm, Latakia

The 3.0, well, I do wonder what ProVape has up their sleeve.

Hopefully VW and a post 1980's menuing system.
I like it a lot, but VV just doesn't cut it for me personally.

Haven't found a beer yet

Oh I meant to drink
The sangria style vape sounds nice though.

Returning from my first trip to the UK after 22 days I couldn't stand to drink American beer again... for awhile.

 

[Lookout]

This thread makes me feel much better. I thought I was a little nuts for having promoted myself over just a couple of weeks from the double-eGo style starter kit to a couple of Vision Spinner 2s, Pro Tank 2s w/the airflow valves, a Nautilus (which is a dog, for reasons discussed elsewhere on here-hope they get that sorted soon) and an E-LVT box. Looks like I've not overdone it after all by comparison

Nah, mate, you're quite tame compared to some round here

I prefer to call it "continuing the journey" - others just say I'm crazy obsessed
Kinda like my classically trained French cooking, there's always a new and better pan you simply must have or new method to learn.
You buy a set of AllClad Copper Core and then you discover Staub and Mauviel... sheesh.

Nah, mate, you're quite tame compared to some round here

 

[Nautilusfan]

The title to this thread describes me perfectly Started with basic e cig from an online supplier. Saw real quick this wasn't what I wanted and knew analogs will continue. After some basic ego batts and bcc clearomizers I knew I wanted more. Next step was a MVP with a nautilus tank. Much better but still chasing the dream so I ordered a Provari today. All this over a 30 day period so as you can tell when I get into something I jump in with both feet.

Nice progression! Seems there is always something next.

Forgot to mention initially I tried a crappy USB cigalike from <gasp> the mall for a few days 5 or 6 years ago.
That didn't last and I went right back to analogs due to the lack of, well, everything.

Glad I got started properly this time

A nice Boddingtons and a smooth Cavendish vape is nice.

Welcome, and that's one hell of a accomplishment saving 10-20 a day!, I thought vaping was going to save me money but dang, I seem to spend 150-300 every days off(14 on 7 off) just expanding a collection and trying new things.

And that's at ~$2.50/pack RYO.
I can't imagine what it would be if I was still buying commercial stuff.

Yeah, I thought so too
Once we settle in some more and don't have to have every new thing we see it should get better. I hope !

 

[jaxgator]

Thanks. 3 ProVari huh? Now I want another one!!

Yup. Ordered a brushed SS w/ red LED first. Then I just had to have a polished SS w/ blue LED. And finally, a satin black w/ green LED. As far as looks and feel go, it is a toss up between the black and brushed. I probably favor the black over the brushed more though. The polished always feels so clammy in my hand but it still gets some love.

I've got to look into the Evic Supreme, have heard good things about them.

Here's a good thread about the eVic Supreme. Kind of long at 11 pages (40 posts per page) but convinced me that I just had to have this mod. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/variable-voltage-apv-discussion/551316-evic-supreme.html

1 week later there were 2 MVPs, 2 VV3s and a vast assortment of tanks and juices in my house.

1 week later my ProVari and Russian 91% arrived along with a ton of other vapemail including 100ml of Boba's.

Oh you really don't want to know how much I've spent...

Darn it Jake, I warned you what would happen if you came here. In fact, I think my exact words were:

"Do not, under any circumstances, go to E dash CIGARETTE dash FORUM dot COM"

 

[dice57]

Best bang for the buck, is the 30 watt capable cana/hana/banana/ clone box mod. Freaking awesome vapebox. Looking for an rba, for a dripper, can't beat the Magma for flavor or vape potential, the Russian/Kayfun tanks system is a good rba, also the Taifun's and Flash-e-Vapor are real fine too.

Gah! I'm gonna have to read that next week... must.not.buy.anything.else.this.week....

"Do not, under any circumstances, go to E dash CIGARETTE dash FORUM dot COM"

You started it
BTW looks like I've got the Boba / Gambit mix down perfectly now.
Also took me forever but finally figured out you had a Protovapor.

Yeah I almost bought a hana clone, but decided last second to get a VaporShark.
Thanks for the heads up on the Magma may try to find one today.
LOVE my Russian !

Well ya coulda asked me what it was.

Unfortunately they (like most other makers of unique, somewhat high-end mods) have a back-log.

That was my first DNA mod too. But not my last.

 

[jakematic]

Did I not mention that I would do my research before pestering you (again) ?
It didn't dawn on me until after seeing the CelluCotton picture what it was.

That was my first DNA mod too. But not my last.

Very excited to get mine Tuesday.
