Hi all,
A few weeks ago I was smoking at an event and a guy comes up and started vaping, we started talking about it and I really liked what he had to say about his experience. I went home and have been researching and reading as much as I can.
I went to one of the 3 local Vapor Stores here in town on May 10th and got my starter kit (Ego twist = 2 batteries, 2 ce4's, charger, case and 10 ml of juice which they let me split into 2 5ml's so I'd have 2 flavors). I had asked about the Kanger ProTank as that's what "Critter" said to get so I didn't have to worry about cracking tanks with certain juices and was told that for someone just starting out it's not worth it to buy the protank, time was running short so I just paid and left it with that.
Last week I stopped in at the 2nd store looking to get a ProTank as I really LOVE banana's and was told the CE4's shouldn't have banana used in them. Once again I was told that the ProTank was more than I needed and that all their juice including Banana Nut Bread would work just fine in the Smok Mini 2.5ml Vivi Nova so I went ahead and bought it and 5ml of the juice. They filled it for me an put it on the battery making sure to show me not to over tighten it and such. It worked great for the first 2 days then it started leaking from the somewhere around the bottom threads and making a whistling noise when I try to vape and you can see the vapor coming from the bottom thread area at times. I went back to the store and was told that I had to have dropped it! Not even a chance of that, I don't even lay them on their sides as I put a coffee cup on the counter in the kitchen to stand it in, and use other small containers to hold them almost completely upright. Anyway they told me there was nothing they'd do for me but sell me another one..ummm no thanks not after that.
Yesterday I made it to the last store in town and once again was told that the I didn't need the ProTank as the "disposable" tanks can handle all the different juices with no problem. The only thing I bought from them was a 5ml bottle of 24mg juice since both other stores told me to get the 18 and I still really really craved that cig even after chain-vaping! The 24 has helped a lot and I only use it when the craving really gets strong.
I've now spent close to $100 not counting the juice I bought and am starting to feel really confused. Everything I read online says NOT to use certain juices in plastic tanks and I've seen some pics of what can happen to the tanks if you do, yet the stores here are telling me that it will be just fine to do so. I can't afford to go buy another tank right now not if I want to be able to have juice next month and having the juice is more important than a new tank.
I do plan on getting into the DIY juices as soon as I can, I'm still researching and reading all the posts and making notes but I find it very interesting! Maybe it's because I also use Essential Oils in aromatherapy for everything from just a "pick me up mist" to burns and bruises to breathing treatments
I'd appreciate everyone's opinions about the tank issue and YIKES sorry about writing a mini novel and the paragraphs running together for whatever reason my "enter" key isn't working while making the post.
