Hey guys, just started vaping 13 days ago.. haven't had an analog in that long and I gotta say.. why the devil didn't i find out about these 3 or 4 years ago! That being said...

Day 1: Blu cig.. Really liked it and is what started me on this path... did not like the battery though so I went out and on day 3....

Day 3: Green smoke.. better battery but they tasted like .... By the end of day three the green joined the blue in the bin.

Day 4: Totally Wicked Tornado-T (simply because it was local, I was grouchy and didnt want to wait for shipping).. Now this is more to my taste. Great battery, great vapor.. good tastes..

Day 5: Research, Research, Research... enjoy the TT and order enough juice and flavor to cover me for close to a year likely. xD

Day 6:...... Come to realize that what I have, while good.. is in need of personalization.

Day 7, 8 and 9: Research, Recon and purchasing of LR dtc to try it out with my battery. Juices, PG and concentrates have been delivered and I begin to cackle madly in my newly setup laboratory of juicy goodness.

Day 10: Begin to realize exactly how little I know about vapes, despite day 5s 8 hour research-fest.

Day 11: Make 3 really good juices that I am still sucking on like a mosquito on a bayou man.

Day 12: Try to use an analog and realize they taste like utter ...

Day 13... Decide to introduce myself as the man who had to make a random post.

Basically I am here for thoughts on mods, mixing and the best setup (in everyone else's experience so i can better expand my own knowledge and experience. So greetings and salutations m'friends.

Welcome!

Your path to vaping sounds similar to mine. I really can't bash on disposables, blu, greensmoke, etc. After all, those were the devices that introduced me to vaping and got me off the cigarettes.

 

[Michaaar]

Dont get me wrong, Im not bashing them. Even now, if my batteries were to both go dead or I were to somehow run out of juice and I needed to I would buy a blu disposable. I think they are great for introducing people to vaping, but I couldn't have stuck with either of them for too great a length of time. Of course.. I am a bit of a techy nerd so chances are I will be experimenting till the end of time and never be 100% satisfied.

I have been vaping for almost a year and a half, and admittedly should have joined ECF much sooner.

I started with a 510 mini, liked that enough to know that if there was something better out there, I wanted in on it.
Fast forward to the Ego-T (Tornado). couldn't believe how much better it was, used that for the better part of 6 months.
Got fed up with them leaking all the time and the inconsistent hit/flavor when they weren't completely full.
Got some Vision stardust clearos (LR short wick). those worked great for a couple of weeks. now they will give amazing vapor and flavor (like when I first got them) but after a few hits they stop working and the battery connector fills up with juice, try and take a few more hits without disassembling/cleaning = mouth full of juice. I still use em though, love the way they work when they work
Got some Vivi Nova tanks. they won't wick my vg juice properly, even after tweaking the wicks. Methinks i got some of the bad ones, apparently the preinstalled heads are a crapshoot.
Now i'm thinking about going to cartos or Dripping.

You know i've been playing around with VG and PGfor a few days now, VG is almost a 1/3 more viscous than PG.. you might try adjusting the viscosity with a little distilled water or even some high grade alcohol (vodka) to see if it wicks better. A more experienced vapor might have a different take on it, and i might be wholly incorrect but that seems to me like it might change your characteristics a bit

Oh, and thanks for all the welcomes guys and gals.
