Soo...5 Days now without smoking . :)

This is just a short list of my limited observations and assessments. Not in any particular order.


***READ THE FORUMS*****


I really wish I had read this forum before I spent $500+ on stuff I'll never use again. :oops: On the bright side, it could have been worse, and I still quit smoking. Also as I write this, I am enjoying my best vape yet (Andy’s Mint-Gourmet Vapor), this flavor is incredible.


1. Get the sample packs from a few juice vendors.
- My personal agenda is flavor being the most important, with vapor a distant 2nd closely followed by TH.

2. Get some empty cartomizers. Cartridges/atty are messy and a pain to use unless you are dripping.

3. The 510 cartomizers are much easier to use with the eGo than the eGo cartomizers (go figure).

4. Important--Find a good way to label your cartomizers and then share the answer. :confused:

5. A sonicator (the kind for cleaning jewelry -cheap one) works great for attys. Find the video for de-wicking an atty, it's super easy and well worth the small effort.

6. Did I mention to read the forums?
- One of friendliest and most helpful e-communities in existence. :)

7. I thought I would need the higher nic juice 24mg but the lower nic 6-12mg means I get to vape more.

8. Whatever brand you decide on, get a carry case or some kind or PCC. Even for the eGo which doesn't need to be recharged much, it's a peace of mind thing.

9. The eGo 650 mAH is a great PV (delivered in 2 days from Awesome Vapor)
- 10 to 14 hrs of vaping and it doesn't look like a cigarette
- The manual button is the way to go for consistent vaping imo.
10. Revolver Infinity is meh at best.
-Batteries last about 15 minutes but the flavor is good.
- wear oven mitts if you plan on vaping for more than 15 min as the atty gets very hot.
11. I ordered the BLU the day before I ordered the eGo and the Revolver but it’s not here yet.:(

12. It takes a while to get used to vaping over smoking. I enjoy vaping a little more each day. I don’t know if the flavors are maturing, or my pallet is changing, but I LIKE IT!

13. Once I get settled in with my new hobby (vaping) I am going to establish a vaping budget. With all the great new products, mods, flavors, etc, being introduced, I need to budget myself before my wife does if for me.:oops:

I could go on and on as I am totally hooked on vaping now, this was just meant to be a shot list of my personal observations. Again, I am a newbie and this is my first week so take it for what it’s worth.
Keep Vaping

MistressNomad recommends using orthodontic rubber bands in different colors and combinations to track flavors for cartos. I don't think I've seen a better option.

Smart man!
