E vapor is definitely the way to go, makes giving cigs up very easy. So far, this looks like a pretty cool forum. Started mixing my own DIY stuff, so far so good, learning how to tweak it.

Day-um! Nothing like jumping in with both feet after just one month! 
It took me over a year before I decided to DIY...and if I could nail the recipe for my favorite juice, I'd be in hebbin.
Good luck and welcome!

I went through a Blu kit, didn't cut it. I did have a problem finding a flavor like vivid vanilla, took some effort but I finally nailed it DIY. Now I'm trying to find a menthol mix for my girlfriend. The learning curve on batteries went away when I dropped a couple bucks on some Joytech batts. I never would have started smoking in the first place if they would have had these when I was a kid. What recipe you huntin down?
First started vaping last year, June 2011. bought a cigarette sized e-cig and it died after a week. Sooo I found a more reputable named brand and it died on day 2. called the company and got replacement parts... worked for 1 more day then it died. Gave up vaping totally after dropping approx 80 - 100 dollars. Was very discouraged. Then this fall the organization I work for has gong totally INSANE about smoking to the point where if you smell of cigarette smoke you'll be fired.... all new hires are tested for nicotine and NOT hired if they have it. So I spent about 2 months researching the net and (thanks to these forums) discovered VV & bought a Lavatube. I'm so glad I did. Vaping has changed my life and probably saved it as well since I was over 2 pk a day smoking and since i've gone vaping i feel like i've quit smoking totally without any withdrawls or weight gain. Since then I've helped 9 smokers at my work switch to vaping so they wouldn't lose their jobs and they are all now ex-smokers My advice to anyone new don't waste money and time on the flimsy imitation cigarettes. go with an awesome device like a Lavatube or Provari.... you'll never look back.

thanks for the feedback. i do have a question about technique. i change atomizers and get really crappy hits until it seems to be "broken in". same e liquid, same battery, what gives? I have been cleaning the atomizers, and so far, nothing but good results. lots of spares so i am never in a hurry, always let them dry for a couple days. but this has me baffled, which admittedly, isn't too difficult. why do they not produce good throat hits or decent vapor plumes when I switch to a new atomizer? Is it just part of the gig, gotta live with it?

Jeezz. I know smoking is bad for you and all, but to get fired/not hired cause you smoke? What's this world coming to...
I give the same advice to all who start vaping. Download a banner to keep yourself on track. When you start to see the savings, you will not feel guilty about buying a new vaping toy! Welcome aboard!

Wow - 2 days and $80 that was not a good start. I just started down this path almost 3 weeks ago. Still haven't completely quit - but I am glad that the cigarette type that I started with has been working all this time. Been researching for the past week and getting ready to replace my little ePuffer - but still real happy that it hasn't quit on me.
Oh - and congrats on going 1 month without smoking. You have definitely dived right in with the DIY - I am still trying to figure out what all this stuff is
