New member SoCal

[CaptZoom]

Hi guys,
New to ecigs. I started in an effort to quit analog cigarettes. My first experience was largely positive. I completely stopped smoking for about 6 weeks. Unfortunately, at about the 6 week mark both the batteries from V2 died. I'm now shopping for a new vendor, and trying to decide between Stog and Volcano.

Good luck! I think that happens to alot of people. It did for me at least. It really stinks having to go back to analogs Moral of the story... Always have backup supplies! Sounds like you need a passthrough as well. That is always a great emergency option if no batteries are available.

where in socal are you from? ylou should visit a brick and mortar. its better to buy it at the spot if you dont have any back ups

Ugh! How frustrating! I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm still using my 2 orginal eGo-C's that I bought when I quit smoking 3 months ago. I also recently bought 2 KGO batteries at the recommendation of other members here.

Hopefully you have a shop near you so you can replace them ASAP!

Bro, I took a similar path as you with the v2 and then the volcano inferno. I later learned that there are many similar, better and less expensive kits than the inferno. Just after that I realized there were bottom feed devices called REO's out there and I purchased one. I highly recommend one to you. They cost a little more than the inferno kit, but they are the best of the best, unless of course that you favor vaping off something that resembles an electric toothbrush. Good luck.

If you live within a 20 mile radius of Fullerton, CA. I know plenty of places for you to go.

Welcome! There are plenty of brick-and-mortar stores in SoCal if you need new gear.

 

[Amish Ed]

Yep, plenty of B&Ms in SoCal. Just depends in where you live. I use E-cig City in Laguna Beach.

The batteries died after 6 weeks? How many times did you recharge them?

Hi there, I am a new member that lives in so-cal as well. I live right by a new shop that opened up in Costa Mesa. It is called LOCAL VAPE. I met a few of the guys in there and everyone is very helpful. You can taste the flavors that they have in stock and even try a few that will be coming in. I give it a thumbs up.

Hey congrats on quitting I started with v2 also have moved on to ego twist and a variety of cleromizers. If your in a pinch the vapor spot is a local place more expensive then online but you could pick up a set up and some juice instead of cigs. They have 2 locations in L.A and I have heard of some places in orange county area. Good luck.

What part of SoCal are you in?
Most people that I know make the switch to ego style batteries and DCT tanks.
I'm not a vendor but if you're near North OC I can sell you one of the new kits I have laying around for a reasonable price.

I need a brick and mortar in PHX AZ.

Thanks for the input guys. I live close to Torrance, north of Long Beach. I should be getting my order of Stog cigs today (can't wait to get off of analog sticks). I work as a photographer, which means I move around quite a bit and am often in awkward positions to get the shot. My ecigs need to be small, pocketable without hampering my movement. The Joye products and clones seem just a bit too big. I've consider getting them for home use. And probably will purchase something like that in the bear future especially something with a pass through (for the hours spent on the computer editing photos). I tried the local b&m store, but they didn't carry anything I liked. They're new and growing through some growing pains. I did purchase some e liquid from them. I fully believe in supporting local businesses whenever possible.
Some one asked how times I recharged the V2 batteries. I think maybe 10 times before they started behaving oddly. Actually, one of them didn't work right out if the box. So I was using just one. I'll try to get replacements under warrantee from V2.

Hi CaptZoom, wellcome and good luck.

 

[cgallagher]

Good luck with whatever you go with. I would suggest getting extra batteries in case something happens.

Got the Stog kit. Am quite pleased with it so far. The liquid is a bit sweet, but not over powering.
