Greetings all! I'm partly posting this to introduce myself, being new, and partly to satisfy my 5 posts to the New Member Forum. I just started vaping 8 days ago, after 25 years of smoking. I have now gone 6-1/2 days without an analog. I have started off with an ego-C, with attys and tanks. Even though I went with the 1000 mAh batt, and type-B attys and tanks, I'm already looking at taking the next step. I have been lurking these forums for over 10 days now, and have spent over 25 hours reading this vast treasure trove of exceptionally good information - posted by some amazingly helpful and intelligent people. Thanks to these forums, I feel confident enough that I'm going to upgrade to a VV Volt with a ViVi Nova 2.5 tank kit (from http://www.vaporbeast.com/default.asp), and I will also be rebuilding my atty heads with Nichrome 80 wire and cotton wicks. I'm really looking forward to getting started with something a lot more DIY and enjoyable than my current PV. I'd love a Provari, or a genuine LavaTube, but I'm working on a tight budget. And my ego-C should make an excellent backup, or stealth mode PV. The helpful posts that I have read here are too numerous to count, and the number of members posting that advice is also beyond my reckoning - but a big THANK YOU to all who post here, either asking for advice, or dispensing it. The vaping world is much larger than I originally anticipated, and you guys have given me the knowledge needed to feel at ease as I take my first steps into a healthier and happier world.
