Haha. Easy there tiger. We are talking about something inexpensive and adjustable. Granted, I have a few static eGos and love them for the portability, and they do work for standard vaping, but the adjustable twist is the way to go on a budget. What works for you, may not work for everyone. Personally, I like the choice of adjustable when available.

I said that because I'm a ridiculous person. I'm also silly, stupid, and illogical. I hope you can all forgive me for being such a complete idiot. TIA.

You crack me up man. So... do you like type at 100 wpm? Like I said, you never cease to amaze me.
The funny thin is, my keyboard is broken or my OS s screwed. I'm typing at about 1/3 speed. This is what it loks like if I don't go back and correct evrything.
I typed "ridiculous" correctly, but you quoted that before I could correct it.
I was also going to add that in my own defense, I just say what I think and what I like without labeling or judging the opinions or words of others, and sure do wish that more people would do the same.
And isn't that "Enzyte Bob"? lol
Nobody needs to apologize for expressing their opinions on a forum, unless it's attacking in nature. Haven't you seen those things where the words are misspelled except for the first and last letter, and you can understand the words? Amazing I say.
Hahaha, yeah, it's 'Enzyte Bob'. I have a 'big one' going here since I got into this vaping thing. What can I say...
Actually, I keep eying that Antari M-8 listing you have in your sig...

Jixchel ---when I bought my truck I didn't get some "options" because I thought I'd never use 'em. They were CHEAP options, too. Now I regret it. I may not have used them often, but there were a few times where I was kicking myself for not having them.
I think when asking somebody for a recommendation, that is what they are giving, speaking in their own voice, giving their opinion. Everyone has preferences.
As a newbie, I sure don't want to get "beat up" for not following somebody's advice though, esp. since there are so many helpful people here, the possibility of NOT going with a few suggestions is pretty high, since no newbie can buy or even immediately consider each and every system that is *suggested*. Suggestions are just that........in the long run, it will be up to the newbie to decide for themselves, based on what "appeals" to their own sense of logic and perceived needs. It's pretty overwhelming to begin with.
I personally decided I wanted a small VV only because I'm *curious* about it, and if I didn't get it as an option (and in the case of twists, it's such a cheap option) I would always be "wondering" about it if I didn't buy one.
That's why and how I made that decision. For other newbies, it may be a "teets on the bull" situation, i.e. what the heck do I NEED THAT FOR? LOL
It requires a great deal of GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT for ya'll to get on and help people, and it is greatly appreciated. It takes your time, etc. I used to be on the help boards for prodigy computer forums, and fixed many systems staying up til 3:00 am in the morning to see the person thru their "ordeal" just so as not to lose continuity with them.
BUT, what I don't like, is feeling like being held hostage. This happened to me on a horse racing board when I was trying to learn how to handicap. One guy took me under his wing, but as soon as I didn't do *everything* he told me to do, or decided to try something of my own, or didn't grasp or acknowledge everything he posted to me-----I got dumped---- and dumped on. That should never happen. He was not really *giving* in the true sense of the word.....he was giving with expectations attached, and was more interested in being right than in helping me.
If somebody is trying to help a newbie, they can't very well suggest "everything". They are just going to suggest what *they* think. And others will come along and post different stuff and/or rebuttals. THEN, it is up to the newbie to decide for themselves.
Conversely, I'm not the kind of person who would make a decision and then hold it against the person who helped me decide on certain choices. I take ultimate responsibility for my own actions.

LMAO!!!! Good, I was afraid it was just me!
"Hey, is that a Joyetech eGo-C Twist 1000mah battery in your pocket, or are ya' just glad to see me?" LOLOLOLOL
Man, I am so glad I just don't give a crap any more; it is sooooooo liberating! (Woot!!)
\***
Oh yeah; and the Antari is just as awesome as it sounds - come on over, and let's get a REAL good vape going! I "pitch a tent" just plugging the damn thing in! LOLOL
My apologies Racehorse, I did not mean to give the impression that you shouldn't get the twist. All of the reccomendations you have recieved are valid, and it is only you that can make the decision to purchase what is right for you. I did not mean to make you feel as though you are held hostage as it was not my intention. Whatever works to get you off the analogs is a damn good purchase in my opinion, even if it is the njoy, blu, mystic, century 21 disposable you get at your local store.
Happy Vaping!

Well, bottom line... did you get what you came here for? That's the crux. I sure wish I came here first before I jumped in with both feet months ago. I thought I was going to figure this whole thing out on my own, and boy was I wrong. It's best to listen to the opinions of the folks who have been in the trenches a lot longer.
Reviews appear to support this!
Stardust stuff looks great too. I have accepted there will be a certain amount of experimenting I will have to do on my own, as hand-holding newbies can become rather laborious LOL
Which is a good thing. That will allow me to experiment as a newbie and maybe make some of my own recommendations down the line!
John D in CT - thanks for the explanations! On my way now to place orders! Ca-Ching!
You didn't! I did not mean to imply that you did.
I was giving examples of stuff I had been thru on OTHER topic-specific internet forums.
Thanks so much for your thoughts.....and for your humility.
I gotta gotta gotta get back "on-topic".

Way more than I expected, yes!
I actually gave out this forum link to some of my book swap forums, so expect more "members" as I help the crusade for getting people off cancer sticks, and as far as I'm concerned, this is THE BEST forum I could send anyone to.
Yes, thank you everyone, and I mean Big Thank you.
One last suggestion if you don't mind, I would get at least 1 atomizer to test your nicotine liquid with, as sometimes vapers don't want to waste a cartomizer on a juice that isn't to their liking. Also some rotate many flavors or if you are like me you just want to decide which flavor you are in the mood for that day. Some liquid also tastes better after a few days to a few weeks of steeping, with an atomizer it is easier to test out these flavors.
Ya know, back a few months ago, when I started this quest for my final attempt at trying to kick the burned tobacco habit, I really did shy away from forums and such because I thought I would get a lot of 'my way or the highway' kind of responses. But it's threads like this that has totally turned that way of thinking around for me. Since then, ECF has definitely changed my outlook, and I will try to help others as much as I can.
Sage advice Jixchel. Again, another nice post.
Yes, I can see that being new to liquids, I will be in "testing phase" for a while--probably could use 1 or 2 of these. Good advice.
Sticking with the order I'm already making from specific vendors, can I get advice on which model will fit my set-up:
Atomizers:
Low Resistance (LR) Atomizer
Low Resistance (LR) eGo-Tank Atomizer
Low Resistance (LR) Atomizer - SLB 510
eGo-T Type-A Atomizer - Black
During your testing of juice stage, get the sampler deals and then drip. It can be used as a baseline for changing to other devices. myvaporstore is a good place, I have done business before, great service. I would say that a regular 510 atty at 2.0 to 2.3 ohms will be sufficient.
You never really did state what kind of battery you are going with, but I would imagine the twist. As far as attys, go with what's affordable for you, and then adjust accordingly. You will probably want to 'debridge' what you end up getting as they are meant for 510 'tanks'. Anyways, select what's in your budget, and ping one of us when ready. K?

I often recommend "just for kicks" that people try out the Joyetech eGo-C (not -T) three-piece atomizer/tank system. If nothing else, it's a part of vaping history, and is a very cool thing to check out, tweak, and enjoy for its coolness and stealth. Many say that you need to draw on it a bit slowly, but I have friends who I started on them and use nothing else. (That said, there are better things to vape on IMO), but many, many devices have their place. [And NONE are perfect!]
I'll add the links soon, but I have not eaten ALL DAY, and I need to remedy that ASAP.
yea bro, no problem...i forgot to take my meds.....hehe....will answer any questions ya need....cheers
Froginblender, I'm kinda "working my way" thru these answers, and not in order, but perhaps you missed this
Anyway, I feel ya, having RSI in both hands, wrists, elbows myself, I find it somewhat *excrutiating* to type sometimes. Really, a big thanks to you.
I haven't "addressed" each thing you wrote yet, because I haven't gone over everything yet, just was pulling a few odds n' ends out of some posts for now. I'm sure I'll have questions that involve stuff you so generously posted to me. I certainly need your help.
