Hello out there E-Cig world! I am new to club! I Just bought a Cig2o from Cigarettes Cheaper here in Oregon City, OR. It cost me $29.99 and came with an Automatic battery, 2 18mg tobacco flavoured cartomizers, and the usb plug in thing. (Forgive my possible errors of terminology. lol) I will start with negative and move to the positives. So, here is the deal, I smoke like 1/2 - 1 pack a day of Camel Blue (Lights) 100's and i got these 18mg cartomizers and I think they are making me kind of sick to my stomach. I ordered some 6mg bottles of a tobacco sample pack from smokeless image. I also gotta say I'm not a huge fan of the flavor (hence why i ordered a sample pack lol) I didn't order a fruit flavored because i used to smoke hookah and did so too much and now it makes me sick. Can anyone compare the hookah to the flavored e-liquids? lol I'm thinking i might try some 0mg nicotine too so i can puff pretty steadily all day. Also, I think I'd like a flavor-less kind. Do they have that? Can, I refill the Cig2o Cartomizers? I think it's one of the 808 models (i know thats not exactly the model but i figured peopled understand what i mean). It looks almost like a real cigarette maybe a tad bigger than a 100. Any suggestions on which kind i should buy next? I'd like one that produces a lot of vapor/smoke but I don't want a massive one. I could do one that's bigger than my current one but I don't anything too big. Anyways, Things I like are that i can smoke inside!!!!! I LOVE THAT!!! I'm too young to remember being able to smoke inside but I love going to the Indian Casino 60% because i can smoke inside 40% because i have an addictive personality and i like black jack. lol Also, I used to smoke weed (Dont judge me) and i smoked all day long. i want to be able to smoke all day without feeling sick from nicotine OD. As I am a little guy at only 125 pounds. lol OK THANKS EVERYONE I THINK I'M GONNA LOVE IT HERE!!!!

I have seen the cig2o in my area & they are a bit pricey i started out with the clean cig a 510 auto & i loved it at first as it got me away from mr. stinky but i grew tired of always charging & toping off so i upgraded to an epower & could not be happier if i was you i would look at any of the egos,kgos,epowers or such they are about the size of a cigar & work better than cig look alikes..

Welcome to the club! Do you know the secret password and handshake ? Don't worry, you will get the terminology quickly and it changes quickly anyway so.... the sample packs are a great way to find out what you might like. Also, don't limit yourself to what you think you may like- I hated menthol cigs when I smoked, but is about all I vape for my "go-to" vaping.

As for flavorless liq, yes they make it, but if you want go that route, or at least try it, your cheapest bet would be to buy the materials locally and mix them yourself. Pure VG is available at most pharmacy/drug stores and hobby and/or baking stores (it is used in making icing) and PG can be found at a local Tractor Supply store, feed store, or even from a local veterinarian (typically ones that specialize in large animals). It is generally a good idea to make sure the label say pure and is USP approved. Other than the advantage of price, if you soon decide "flavorless vaping" isn't as great as you thought, a local shop may carry some of the flavorings that are appropriate to add - be sure read or ask on the forums first as some are not well suited and could blow your atty fairly quickly.

Welcome!! I started with one of those slim cig style devices too, and if you're looking for something better I recommend a KGO. It's a bit bigger than what you've got, but I think you'd be so happy with it, you won't care! As for flavors,, there are so many tobacco flavors out there, you don't ever need to go the fruity route if you don't want to. Hoosier ECig Supply has great prices on KGOs and everything else you would need. Good luck on your journey!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Hey Maverick, welcome, and you will love it here, even more than a club, it's like one big vaping family and congrats on joining us, it is an awesome and life enhancing choice! Someone already said it, but though most of us probably started out with a cig-a-like PV, we soon grew tired of the limits and stepped up to something with better performance. At first for me it was important that it looked like a cig, acted like a cig, you get the idea. Some people continue to be happy with it, especially if they weren't a heavy smoker. But since vaping is different from smoking, most people tend to vape more than they smoked, priorities change. Since you can control just about every aspect of your vaping, including the amount of nicotine you consume, vaping becomes more than a habit, more like a hobby, you'll see! Anyway, everything that was so important to me in the beginning quickly changed. That little automatic battery had to be recharged more than it was used, the automatic battery limited my choices of cartomizers etc, because if they leak into the battery it's kaput, I had to pull on it so hard to get a decent vape I was getting muscles in my cheeks, and on and on. I knew I wanted a bigger battery, a manual battery, and options, so after asking here and doing my homework, for me an Ego, or another Ego clone seemed like the logical choice. With limited funds, it is also an economical choice, especially because I spend a lot of time at the computer, I opted for a pass-through instead of a full kit. A pass-through allows you to vape while your PV is charging, so it is never out of commission. And if you need to leave and take it with you, chances are it is already fully charged and good to go, just unplug it from the USB connector! Hassle free as can be. Plus, with it's 510 connections it gave me a huge range of options for accessories and the like. I don't even know if it comes with an automatic battery option, but if it does, avoid it! Although it may seem like a pain to have to press the little button every time you vape, you will quickly find it allows you better control of your inhalations, plus as I said, a leak from a cartomizer won't kill your battery. (To me it was kind of the equivalent of learning to drive a standard shift... once you are used to it, driving an automatic seems lame.) Also, you will soon find the cigar sized battery is not an issue at all. In fact, most experienced vapers don't want their PV to resemble a cig in any way. Once you make the break you are a lot more likely to appreciate vaping for what it is instead of limiting yourself to what smoking was. It is a whole different animal, a much improved one too, so try to avoid trying to make it fit the limits of smoking...it is waaaay better. Not only health wise, but all around. Trying out different juices is fun, but it can get real pricey too. A lot of us eventually DIY... meaning mix our own, which becomes a fun hobby in itself and a great way to experiment without going broke. I get ribbed all the time about my "Laboratory" (la-bhoor- a- tory) of flavors, bases, syringes, nicotine, glassware and other assorted devices for mixing up new and wonderful flavors! There are quite a few free programs out there to assist you with the measurements and help you keep a record of your best concoctions too, so you can reproduce them at will. I especially like the fact that I can control the amount of nic I use, and can make different strengths for varying needs. But I'm getting ahead of things! Right now while you are starting out, do try out different strength liquids and representatives of different flavors, because you never really know what you will enjoy until you try it. Plus your tastes often change the longer you don't smoke as your taste-buds regain their ability to function. There can be a steep learning curve to all of it that intimidates some people in the beginning, but you learn as you go, one question at a time, someone here will always try to clarify it for you. If you keep it fairly simple in the beginning, you can always move up as you get more knowledge and experience. Batteries only last so long, and since a PV is basically a battery with a connector, sometimes replacing them means looking for something new, or bigger or better...if you feel the desire or need, the point being, no choice is permanent. Whatever works for you is what it's all about. Sorry about the giant ramble, but it is really exciting to share enthusiasm with someone just starting out! Good luck and congrats! Happy vaping!

Funny, one of the Cig2o online suppliers is thermotools.com ... their product line consists of various infrared digital thermometers ... and Cig2o electronic cigarettes ... what amounts to a basic 808d starter kit comes in at $100. Ouch. If you want to maintain compatability with what you have, there are Ego style batteries with 901/808d connectors as well ... Riva 901, Vgo etc.... if you have any money left that is ,

Welcome Aboard!

Hi. I'm brand new to this site, but have been vaping for 2 years now. I found that trying to find ejuice that tastes like a cigarette, (at least one that I liked) I just started trying all different flavors. My favorite is vanilla custard. It also smells really good so it doesn't bother my kids to smell it in the house all the time! I hope you find something you really like. Enjoy!
