Well, it was finally time to join the forums instead of lurking. I'm a 27-year old, a 1-year vaper, almost ex-8-year smoker. I started on a little e-cig, stick type. I dont remember the model. It worked for the most part. I went from a pack-a-day immediately to 2-to-4 analogs per day. It was a Christmas gift from my family in 2010 who would love to see me quit analogs. I moved up to an eGo-T and LOVED it for the first few months. I got it about March 2011. Since then it's been... ehhh. I'm the kind of person who always wants better, always wants more quality. After 10 months of dealing with the same old eGo, generic 510 attys and cheap juice I'vs spent most of the past 4 days here on the forums and over at YouTube watching reviews, gaining knowledge of VPs in general and trying to find out where to go next with my rig. I'm finally ready to expand- To find the better device to really satisfy my analog cravings so I can go from a 2-4 cig per day to ZERO. I'm on a budget, though I really am considering a Reo Mini, a Provari or an SVR once they work out the kinks. I want a full-time rig, durable as hell and portable, reliable and consistent with long battery life. But, i'll cross that bridge when I can afford it. Until then, i'm freaking excited to have ordered 6 new juices to try and some CCV cartos to upgrade my eGo 650 mAh batteries. I hope this can hold me over until I can afford a new PV, because my eGo batteries are starting to go south. Should both be here by the end of the week and I can hardly wait. Maybe i'll just pick up a 900 (950?) mAh eGo battery for now though until I can afford a big boy. But I'm glad to be here, glad to be vaping and very glad to hopefully be ditching analogs for good.

I'm a silversmith and gem-cutter by trade, so I hope to be working on some sweet custom parts and accessories to show off to all my fellow vapers. I once thought the world of PVs was so intimidating and confusing but since i've really been hammering on educating myself I am very excited and pretty discouraged at myself for not getting in deeper earlier in my vaping experience. I hope to enjoy it here on EFC, and I hope to start meeting other Vegas vapers.

omaha, ne
anyone can learn/do anything in life, the only variable is time. lots of stuff to learn here, and lots of info here to learn it from. i just 'upgraded' my egoT batteries to a simple/cheap 3.7custom box from smoktek.com, not much of an upgrade, but at least it'll be true 3.7v and i can see if there's any real difference when coupled with my beloved DC cartos.

if there is, i'll go with a meatier 3.7mod when that one dies.

Welcome Stonebender;
I also have an Ego-T and love it for it's portability. I have extra batteries for it and extra atomizers since one went bad after a single day....yikes! Mine has the 1000mAh batteries which last me a solid 10-12 hours

I have just upgraded to a brand new shiny ....well not really shiny....Provari and adore it...but it is way to large/heavy for me to tote about so it's the stay at home vapour gizmo.

I also ordered a bottom feed kit to just try and just to see what they are all about.....but it has not arrived so I have no comment yet.

But since discovering the e-cigarette I have never had a whim to return to the analog.... hope you have the same experience .:2cool:

Thanks everyone. It's not that I necessarily really like the eGo style, it works. But I do want to upgrade, maybe a VV, but I definitely want something more than an eGo. Maybe around a 4-5 V device. Why do I want to upgrade? I don't know, guess I dont really have a good reason, and i'm not requiring one of myself. :)

LOL As I finish typing this, my hand and desk now covered in e-juice from a flooding and leaking eGo. It doesnt do this often, but when it does I wanna throw it across the room.

Welcome!
I upgraded from a 180mAh (cig clone) to a Riva 510 SE and I am loving it.

The cravings are worse in the morning and after lunch, or while I am at home in front of the TV I can have fun vaping for hours. Riva made all the difference, and my wife lived it too.

I am sure that "theres nothing wrong with new toys" but... this upgrade made all the difference for me.

If you're looking for an upgrade from Ego, definitely something with a better battery and volt variable would be interesting according the feedback here in the forum and a few vendors. I got a message from AVE other day saying that their juices (100% VG) will have a better kick using 5V or LR cartos.
