New here and a couple of questions...well, maybe more than a couple

[spydre]

Okay, so I started vaping about three weeks ago. The newish (open about a month) shop near us was saying the eGo double starter kit they were selling was about 1/2 what the "closest shop" was charging for them, so I just went with it, didn't do a lot of research. It's the eGo 900. Then, it so happened, Better Vapes opened up a storefront to run along with their online store near us. I can't remember if they have the same starter kit, but this other shop gets most of their juice from Better Vapes - at least the juice that we've tried. Of course, Better Vapes is slightly cheaper on the juice because they don't have to mark it up. But their starter kits were cheaper, too - again, I don't remember if it was the same starter kits, though. Looking at their website now, no, they weren't the same starter kits. Anyway, one thing I was wondering is about how long the eGo 900 batteries should last, life wise. It takes me about 24 hours to go through one battery charge. And after the batteries are kaput, do I what, just buy a new one? Or are there options (for later down the road) where I won't have to replace the battery every time it outlives it's what, four months?

Another question - well, where do you get that sig line that shows how long it's been since you've smoked a cigarette, etc.?

Also, someone recommended to me (on a board that has NOTHING to do with vaping, lol) that I look into the Twist or I think he said spinner after my current batteries die? I'm just really trying to keep it simple. I have a few Evod tanks right now, but even an Evod won't last me all day, so I'll be getting a Pro tank when I can (and from what I understand, I'll need an adapter, right?), but I looked at the Twist and the Spinner, and they were both variable? Can someone clear this up for me? Or would it just be simpler for me to just keep replacing the regular eGo batteries as they die?

The evo-d should work with the ego twist, not sure about the spinner though.

In response to your battery thing, I'm not too sure what you are saying, but i am assuming you mean when the batteries go bad.
Once the ego900 batteries go bad, you could get a twist which lets you regulate your voltage, or you could get something like this ePalm - eGo Removable18350 Mod and just keep swapping 18350 batteries, which are rechargeable, and your ego900 is too I believe.

Okay thanks. My next question is, how do I add a signature? I have a banner for how long I've been quit, but I can't find a signature box to put the code in?

There are two main thread-types for atomized, ego and 510. Your ego batteries have both. The majority of stick-batteries do. Your EVOD is an ego-thread and a Pro tank is 510 threaded. No adapter needed.

Yes when your battery dies, you need to replace it. Eventually it won't take or hold a charge. You can then replace it with another stick-battery of either constant or variable voltage (VV) or move on to APVs which are larger, more expensive and more interesting.
What you choose should be dictated by what you want.
If you want simple, small and cheap... stick with sticks.
If you want to experiment, there are many, many choices available. My next purchase will be a Vamo, a digital, variable power mod. It's bulky, but it does what I want it to do for a price I like.

It's your choice, but don't rush into it. Get a tank you like, now, and worry about the rest after you've hung around the forum for a while. Your needs will change, eventually, and then is the time to act.

Personally, I've shelved my pro-tank. I don't like the flavor from it. My Evods taste better. This is only my opinion, it is shared by many, but definitely not all.
For volume I chose a 3 ml, polypropylene, carto-tank system. (Valleyvapes.com) I think I get better flavor than I did from my pro tank and like the pt, it will not melt, crack or haze like polycarbonate or acrylic tanks (clearomizers like your Evod) from certain flavors of e-liquid. (Cinnamon and citrus flavors being the main culprit)

As for the banner... you have to wait til you are a full member. Once you've made so many posts, you'll be able to not only leave the new member's forum, but add the banner as well.
Once you can do that... open your profile, edit signature... in a different window, find a banner you like and click on it... you'll follow instructions from the site that hosts the banner and end up with a URL that you can copy-paste into your signature.

Hope this helps w/o overloading you.
Have fun and Happy Vaping!

I think you need 20 posts before you can add a signature, then it will be under settings(top) then Edit Signature(left side of page).

Thanks for that.
