Newbie Vaper & Happily Smoke Free

[ReneeLeigh78]

I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself to the forum. I've been off analogs and vaping exclusively now for 3 weeks and 1 day - and LOVING it! I had tried vaping many years ago from the cheap stuff offered at the mall kiosk - what a waste. Several weeks ago I started vaping with my husband after some great recommendations from his friend. I initially started out with eGo C Twists and Stardust clearomizers. After reading lots of helpful information on this forum, my husband purchased ProVari's for us...standard size black extended for him and mini pink extended for me. I adore my ProVari....a lot! I've also found some great e-liquid vendors from this forum and I'm grateful for all the advice/recommendations that have been put out there. Here is a picture of one of my current set ups: Cherry Vape - Cherry Ming drip tip, pink Vivi Nova tank and my pink Mini ProVari. Thank you ECF!!!!

Kudos! So glad to see so many people happily vaping. (I just now, finally, added "vaping" to my correct-as-you-type dictionary, lol.)

welcome! im new to vaping also and also started with a twist. Then went the same route as you and bought a provari mini a couple weeks after. I'm loving my provari just as much as you [:

 

[ReneeLeigh78]

That's great acee! The ProVari is amazing!! I still use my 1000 mAh twists for running quick errands since they're lighter and I can attach them to a lanyard. And I do have one 650 mAh twist that fits perfectly in my scrub pocket for "sneak-a-vaping" at work (hospitals aren't exactly vape friendly yet). I haven't been able to really find any holder/lanyards for the ProVari. I really don't want to use a Maglite flashlight nylon holster...ICK! Serenity Leather has some nice stuff, but I was looking for something a little more feminine. Anyone have any suggestions?

Great you are off the tar cigs. How would you describe the difference between the eGo C Twist and Provari both on a mini-Vivi Nova?

 

[ReneeLeigh78]

I've used Mini-Vivi tanks on both and the differences I have noticed are this: with the Twist I don't use over 1.8 ohm, when I tried to use the 2.4 ohm I had to really crank up the volts (4.0 mAh and upwards) and ran the battery down faster than I had experienced previously. On my Twists I normally vape around a 3.4 - 3.6 mAh...I know, not as high as most vape at - but I'm also new and not into throat hits or harshness, that's just me. With the ProVari I can use 2.4 ohm and higher, no prob. It also might have to do with the viscosity of whatever e-juice I'm using at the time. You can always tell when the Twist is about to flake out on you because you're not getting a consistent vape through to the very end. The ProVari performs consistently all the way through to the last "toot"...the last is just as good as the first. The Mini-Vivi works just like the regular Vivi....only difference is tank size and what atty ohm you want to put in it. Hope that helps!

Thank you. That helps!

I do not need to buy a Provari... yet.

Welcome to ECF. I'm new to this as well. I think I've been vaping for about a couple months but I've been going back and forth with cigarettes but for the past two weeks I have finally found my favorite juice. And I can't stop vaping. The flavor was caramel apple. Maybe you're should try it. But it's what got me starting to vape.

With Love, Trudy

Yes you do! j/k (Well kinda, but not really! LOL) I still use my Twists daily, but my ProVari is my mod of choice. It's a great investment, you won't regret it!

Thanks Trudy! I've been analog free now for 3 weeks and 2 days...and counting!!! I've found a few favorite e-juices, but I'm always up for suggestions for new flavors and vendors. I have a sweet tooth, so Caramel Apple is right up my alley!

Welcome to ECF Renee, and congrats on getting of the cigs and becoming addicted to your Provari, hehe

Very nice set up you have going too.
I got my Vamo right now,so, as to quote CowDog "I do not need to buy a Provari... yet.

DAAANG, that's some serious PINK! You should paint your nails pink and retake the photo though

Hi and Welcome Renee! Kudos to you and your husband for leaving the stinkies behind! Your pink mini looks great!

It does seem that is the case...but I do love my ProVari as much as all of my Mac toys
