What up?? Atsugi or yoko?

And as mentioned above it is now time for you to get a variable voltage device. What is your price range?

Edit.. I just noticed your location. Yokosukas not so bad, I was in the atsugi/zama area for a good 10 years. I miss Japan so much, I'll be back though.

next step for you is a variable voltage device. what are you willing to spend? if you want inexpensive, go with an ego twist. if you want to pay more, get a zmax or a lavatube. if you want to go all out, get a provari. as for a tank, get a vivi nova

I think that pretty much sums it up! Welcome to the forum and congrats on your 4 months.

I will definitely vouch for Chris, he's a great guy. For everyone's knowledge, we are on a ship which is permanently forward deployed to the Western Pacific. In the last six months we have seen the amount of people vaping now come to out number the amount smoking which has been an amazing transformation, especially considering that the amount of people smoking used to out-number those who did not smoke at all. We are currently working on stocking e-liquid and atomizers/cartomizers in our ships store (HUGE) and trying tirelessly to get the Department of the Navy to see how E-cig's and the Navy were a match made in heaven.

Welcome aboard Chris, your in good company here! (I'll see you at mandatory hang-out time)

Thanks everyone. i can tell I'm going to like it here. I do have a ego twist and enjoyed it, but im sooo ready to upgrade. Pro Vari is def something ive been looking at. Ive had some vivi novas ordered for a while and the wait is killing me:( i have a buddy waiting for a lava tube and ill end up pitching that against my other friendo's ProVari and decide. Unless theres a third party APV i should be looking at??? oh. i really really want to talk tanks. i think im the only one who doesn't love DCT's.. the flavor just isnt there and the hit feels weak to me. Has anybody tried a torpedo tube?

KAOTIKGOOD Is a Pro-Provari friend of mine and hes pretty much a Pro.... I wrote that on Propuse. But really i wish everyone could see how vaping has changed my whole ship.. My whole little world. Its growing huge and its a step in the right direction.

Sucks that you're based out of Japan and spend most of it out on the ship, what a waste. I grew up there and it's definitely better than the US! (Im american btw)...

As far as tanks you're straight with the nova. Get some experience rebuilding the atomizer heads on those, and then maybe move up to something different like a genesis style. I believe there is a section in this forum where tanks are discussed regularly, so just look around.

Welcome and enjoy your stay.

Your right. Japan is pretty awesome. but we are never home. we joke around calling it a liberty port cause we are never home. But i imagine the states having Vape stores you can visit. that sounds awesome. evrything i get is off the internet. Maybe theres a shop out in japan but i havent found it.... yet

I'd rather be back in Japan drifting a toyota mark2, chaser or cresta than visiting vape stores over here lol. I don't think there is any in northern VA or DC. I heard of some in MD, not worth going up there though. So I order a lot off the internet too.

Yeah when I was there I was still smoking cigarettes. I did see a presence of electronic cigarettes for sale. If I remember right it was at a chain store called "Don Quijote," other than that I'm sure it would be pricier for juices etc. over there in stores than ordering.
