Hey everybody.

Been lurking for a while and finally decided to check in. Realistically I only decided to actually post because I am now finally over regular cigarettes. No longer have urges or cravings. I had my last cigarette on my way to the E-Cig shop which would be February 6th.

Started with Ego-C kit and eventually upgraded to Provari about a month ago. Currently vaping 18mg RY8 mix.

I am extremely pleased with the provari and immediately started looking up information on it. Eventually getting sick of clogged carts and hit or mis vapes. I decided to do research. So here I am.

Going to be digging information on rebuildable atty. DIY liquids and mods.

Lastly -
I would like to extend a friendly "Hello" to everybody.

-Mike

Howdy neighbor! The Provari sounds like a great device -- I hope you enjoy it. Congrats on quitting smoking, and for a rebuildable, I would recommend the A2-TM from Bulli-Smoker. I just got mine in the mail yesterday, and it's awesome!

Hi! Welcome to the forum and Congrats on your quit! I've looked at the Provari mod and it is the most popular VV mod on the market (for it durability and features). If the price could ever come down, I want to buy one! As time passes, you will feel so much better physically. I have been at it for almost 2 months, and I already feel healthier!

Happy Vaping!
Jen

welcome =) everyone here is friendly, ask away if you have any questions

Thanks for the inviting welcomes guys!

I am definitely proud of myself for quitting cigarettes. I've tried a handful of times with no success. Until I started Vaping. My whole world changed.

The reason I went after the Provari is the battery. I already have flashlights using the same 18650 batteries as well as a quality hobby chargers to properly charge them.

I am definitely going to take a look into the A2-TM from Bulli-Smoker as recommended by Tezcatlipoca.

Lots of neighbors saying HI! awesome! Where can I find info on like Vape meets or gatherings? someone needs to open a juice bar / vape lounge in socal somewhere.

Any good local stores? I travel from LA to SD regularly.

Vapemeetup.com lists vaping events by state. I believe there's a monthly meeting in LA, or rather Glendora to be precise. I know there's a vape lounge/store in West Hollywood, but I don't know much about it. VaporSearchUSA has a ton of stores listed by state. There's a store in Laguna Beach called E-Cig City that looks like they carry some nice stuff (including at one time the aforementioned Bulli A2-TM, or "the Atomizer of the Gods," as I call it ) and host occasional events, but I've never been. Been meaning to, though.

P.S. If you're thinking about checking any of these places out, PM me and it might be a good excuse for me to go too if I'm around. And be sure to bring your Provari because I've never actually seen one in person!

Welcome to ECF, Mike! Provari with an A2-TM would a match made in heaven!

Awesome. Gonna look up more info on that website. I've actually been to ecig city. Definitely cool people there. Prices seems fair and comparable to online prices. That's actually where I get the pink spot juices. Still fairly new in the vape world but I am after the A2-TM aswell. I usually go to ecig city on Sundays as I am usually always in Laguna.

Definitely will shoot you a pm.


And thanks to everyone for the warm welcome!

hi and welcome neighbor.. Just fyi stay away from the westwood location.. It is a RIP-OFF! $300 for a provari.. Also your batteries are they quality 18650? Like aw type brand? Cause people have had more problems with batteries... I am also in LA

 

[chef of clouds]

Hi and welcome to ECF!. Glad to see another member from So Cal!!

 

[jacquelyn]

Do you know the name of the place in Riverside? Is it Vapor E-Cig? I'll check it out and report back.

us3rname, thanks for letting us know about E-Cig City! Sounds like a "must visit" for Socal vapers. If you're there often on Sundays, maybe I should contact you if I decide to round up my Inland Empire vaping crew and make a fieldtrip.

Keep me in the loop man.

Ecig city is very much comparable to most online retailers. They are also very friendly and you can try out a few drops of juice before purchase which IMHO is awesome.

I use aw brand non protected batteries. Same batteries for my flashlights.

I never let it over discharge or over charge. And its a good thing the provari has voltage protections.

I see there's lots of socal people in here. Sometimes I can't help but feel i vape alone. Rarely run into another vaper. Probably 3 people in the past 3 months. Haha.

Will do! Looking forward to checking out Ecig City. Yeah, it's funny -- I don't think I've ever seen anyone vaping out in public here, aside from friends who vape. I don't know if people are discreet about it or if there just aren't that many around.
