Hi guys, just got into vaping last week and thought I should check out the forums. I'm still smoking analog cigs (my battery stopped working and didnt get it replaced for about 3 days, so I'm very much still getting used to it) but I'm hoping to eventually cut out tobacco completely (except maybe a spliff here and there). E-cigs have always fascinated me but until recently it seemed like the only decent ones were massively over-priced. But now that the market has exploded a bit I decided to go downtown and check out the new vape shop. Got myself a Micro Vaped V2 kit for oil (they replaced my battery with a "Vision Spinner" with adjustable voltage when the original batt stopped working) and a Kanger Mini Protank II. I gotta say so far I'm loving it! I can't wait to try all the flavors and experiment with mixing flavors!
New Vaper Here :)

Congrats and welcome to ECF!
It's really nice to hear when someone starts vaping! Being in California, you have access to some of the nicest equipment that some of us can't get except for vape mail. I'm confident that you can completely cut out the paper stink sticks and enjoy being healthier!

Hello and Welcome. You sound gung-ho to jump right in, just like I was once I got my stuff, 
Good for you. I only have one great piece of advice, among many that'll come your way, and that is to get yourself a back-up battery. This way you can have one charging while using the other. Happy Vaping

Welcome to ecf and hopefully your new gear will get you off the analogs. I also use a spinner and a mini protank as my carry around rig and I like it alot. Let us know how your new vaping experience goes.
welcome and congratulations on taking a step away from the stinks.
You've just walked in to a huge world of possibilities, i'm sure you'll love vaping.
echoing DetraMental, back ups are a great idea.

Welcome to ECF!
Sounds like you're off to a good start. Once I started with my mini pro tank, I didn't have another analog. I hope for the same results for you.

Grats on the switch! Hopefully you'll be like me, and just not want a real one!
Second on the backup strategy - have at least two batteries, two tanks, and plenty of spare heads, for emergencies. Stuff breaks, life has little emergencies, you know the drill. I have a Kanger too, and the heads are cheap, get a 5-pack and keep it on hand. A spare charger is also very important - get one for home, one for the car, and another just in case.
Wow, it's great to see all the support here! Already 6 replies! I think I'm going to like it here It will take some mental adjusting to make vaping my norm but I think I can do it. I am already noticing regular cigs becoming less enjoyable and the cravings are getting less intense. Good advice on the back-ups and on that note, which parts generally need replacing more often? I have considered getting a second battery in case it dies while I'm out and also so I can switch between the tank and the coil without having to unscrew anything. Any thoughts on this?

A second battery is a must, considering how long they take to recharge. I cycle with two spinner types, and I'm considering another. The only parts I've needed to replace (knock on wood) are the heads, but they're cheap.
I think one thing that helps with this is that I have a decades long habit of fiddling with something in my had, while driving, reading, watching tv - the new toys we get with this hobby help in that regard in a big way! And, I mentioned in another thread that I don't get the massive cravings that I get with cigarettes - I talked to a friend about that this morning, and he said that maybe it's other things in cigarettes they add that make the addiction more severe. Now that I'm using juice, it's a completely different addiction - I don't think I've had that many cravings since I started. You know how you wake up, and all you can think is "CIGARETTE NOW"? I don't get that anymore. I can get up, get coffee, shower, etc, until I get the ecig out.

Backups are vital when it comes to vaping. I cycle through 7 batteries, ranging from Twists, Spinners, and EVOD VV's. I always carry a spare battery with me, 2 if I plan on being out for a long time. I suggest getting 2 more batteries to be on the safe side. Once you switch to vaping 100% of the time, and you will, you will be vaping more often, so you will be cycling through batteries much quicker.
Screwing and unscrewing tanks and attys from your batteries creates a lot of the wear and tear on batteries. I have had to throw out 2 batteries because the threads were so worn that I could not attach them to the charger. They still took a full charge, but I just couldn't attach them, so the less stress on the threads, the better.
