Hi all! I've been obsessed with this forum ever since I stumbled upon it, so I figured it was time to actually join and post something. 
I was a longtime analog smoker who managed to quit cold turkey several years back. About a year and a half ago I started back up again and have been struggling to quit ever since. I re-committed last week and, faced with a social situation I knew I couldn't tackle alone, I picked up my first eGo on Friday at the only shop that was open. And I've got to say ... I'm a convert! Despite tons of folks smoking cigarettes like they were going out of style (oh wait, they *are* going out of style!), I managed to steer clear of them and stay away from my snus all weekend.
Now the cautionary tale: I picked up my starter setup (an eGo-U with one clearomizer, a charger, and a case) at the only shop that was open in the town I was visiting, which happened to be a head shop. The battery, charger, and case are all great. The clearomizer, however, started coming apart within a day. So, after a friend gifted me a bottle of juice, I went and got a second clearomizer for the new flavor. It worked great (or so I thought), but I've been noticing that it doesn't produce as much vapor as my friends' setups. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong.
Back in Dallas, now, I went to a local shop that specializes in this stuff (Good Vapes on NW Hwy). Within a matter of minutes, I found out that my clearomizer was a cheap knockoff and was already dead. I bought a new V2 (for $2 cheaper than the knockoff from the head shop), took it home, filled it up, and OMG ... it's WONDERFUL!
So the moral of this story to other newbies like me: educate yourselves and buy from trusted sources who know what they're doing. Seems like a no-brainer, but it's worth saying/writing for others who might make the same mistake as me.
