Well, wanted to stop by and say hi. Recently got turned to vaping especially w/ my first kid on the way. I have been chain smoking now for over 18+ yrs ranging from 1-3 packs a day.

My current setup is
2 vision vivi nova 2.5 ML tanks
and 2 eco c-twist batteries.

Currently, i am going through almost 30mg of juice a week and a half and fill can almost get by a full day before having to recharge a battery.

Was looking at other options for tanks as well as if i should step up to a provari?

Thanks

i am still wanting to cut down on the nicotine. for the first week i was doing a combo of smoking but only went through two packs. the 2nd week was down to about 2 cigs. 1 in morning w/ cofee and 1 at night before bed. Now i am on my second day of no cigs.

The nicotine content i have is 18mg. i am worried to step it up to a higher content.

@desmond.. what do you consider a mod w/ a 1650 battery.

For about half the price of a C-Twist, you can get one of these USB Passthroughs:

Mini eGo Variable Voltage Passthrough - MyFreedomSmokes.com

I am at my computer ALOT so this works well for me. I also use Vivi-Novas. Also, I got the "High Output" USB car-adapter so I only need my C-Twist when I away from my car OR computer. I only bought one C-Twist (1000mah) for this reason. It's been working for me so far.
I use the USB so much I haven't tried to find out how long a charge on my C-Twist will last. Maybe I'll start that experiment now ;)

I got about 16 hours of moderate vaping out of my C-Twist. I'm recharging it now. If I had to rely on the C-Twist alone I would have to get me another battery I think...

Loving my ZMax. Sort of pricy but I don't believe that I require anything else. Keep the Ego for when you're in the car to prevent you from getting pulled over :)

LOL! HI! SideFX I, also, am afraid that some cop is going to see me vaping a tube of juice (especially the USB-VV with a wire attached), pull me over and then call out the sniffer dogs. They are brave and courageous, but not the most tech-savvy folks in the world.

also... had a side question... is it normal to go through a pair of wicks/atomizers ever week? with the ammount i am vaping?

What?!?! I think NO! I have two Vivi Novas and have only been vaping for a week, but I used one for an entire week before I cleaned it out. I am using the second one while I let the other one dry.
If you got the low resistance heads you may me burning them out by using too high a voltage on your Twist.

Anyways. Been doing good. Hardest part is finding a good juice. Completely off analogs and have zero urge to go back. I am actually in the hospital with my newborn son and I am not having to stress where my next nic hit is going to happen.

Check out "delightful vapor" .. thats where I have been getting my juice for about 6 mos now. They have a bunch of sampler options to choose from, and you can pick which samples you want out of several dozen flavors.

So I have tried a few spots but can't seem to find my go to vape. Tried hhv and allusions and a few others. Even tried diff ratios.

My arsenal has expanded now to include 3 protanks a vamo and a few 306 and 510 atty for dripping. Definitely trying a lot of different things. For me any price is worth paying as long as I am off analogs

welcome anotheraznguy, i have been off anologs for almost 3 months and i love chain vaping way better. to answer a couple of your questions about battery life i own a Provari and use the extended cap with the big daddy battery 18650. I vape around 4ml a day with a vivi nova 2.2 ohms head, the battery can last me anywhere from 12-16hrs where i have heard normal people get a full 2 days out the battery but like i said i chain vape. i go through my heads once a week which some will say is fast but then again most people vape half as much as a junkie like me so i think im doing fine.
If your looking for good sweet/fruity flavors i would check out Fuzionvapors.com they only sale and specialize in the extreme over kill and abundance of flavor every flavor is great but i love gummy blood. The Standard is another great company the guy is a chief and makes juices for the thrill and quest of making the best you can find his juices on many sites like Vaperev.com i suggest Frankenvape for the flavor its amazing like baby angles floating around in your mouth its kiwi marshmallow. then there is Villianvapers and vapor monkeys which can be found on many websites just google it. good luck and congrats on the baby I'm smoking a Pv for ya now.

2 twists and 2 two novas is a decent setup to start with. 30ml in a week and a half is not tons. After 125 days, i'm probably doing 40ml of 20mg/ml a week, easy. I use the twists and spinners as backups these days cause it's easy to just keep a few charged and throw them in my pocket. Gotta have those backups.

You're on the right track. Keep at it, and congratulations on switching.

BTW, I started at 36mg/ml. This works. Stick with it.
