So, my eGo should arrive any minute now... any minute. I've been using this forum for quite a bit of research over the past few days, and I thought I'd make my first post to kill some time while I wait for my new toy.

I've never vaped before. I don't smoke very heavily, but I've always gone back to analogs in times of stress, boredom, or inebriation. This is a problem, because I work out/play sports and hate that feeling in my lungs that starts to build after a week back on the pack. I also chew/dip/spit occasionally to get that nic buzz when I need it. This habit has its own obvious downfalls.

I started looking around online after the Blu ads caught my eye.. quickly realized there are a TON of options out there. I already told you I settled on the eGo. Ordered the starter kit, an extra atty, some green tea liquid (lower strength than what comes in the carts). Kinda felt bad dropping that much cash on something I'd never even tried, but it looked sooo cool. Really though, I read some great things about it, saw it in action on youtube, and it seemed to fit my needs- I just wanted something low maintenance that I could puff on during extensive study sessions, take outside on a sunny day when all my friends are smoking analogs, or lean back and chill out with after I light up something else... Plus, it looks freakin' cool (might have mentioned that), and I love sexy tech.

So, this is my introduction. I'd like to thank all the members who've posted useful info in the past (I probably read it), in particular DonDaBoomVape for his incredibly helpful six-part guide. I'm sure you'll see me around in the future; maybe I'll post a follow-up once I've spent some time with the eGo. Hopefully I'll find I made a good buy.

Is that the mail truck I hear?!

Take it easy.


P.S. If any of you have some advice you think I might need after reading my post, by all means let me hear it. I still have no idea what I'm getting myself into.

You can say that again...
Look forward to searching for the perfect juice, and stalking the mail man.

For low maintenance, look into using 510 Cartomizers.
It's a Cartridge and Atomizer combined in 1 piece.
It's much more convenient and low maintenance.


Have fun vaping, I'm going to get an Ego in a couple weeks too.
I'm not getting a kit, just 1 battery/cone/charger.
If the battery doesn't last all day, I can still use my Blu batteries at home with the 510 Cartos.

That's awesome Swysgreat! I have the eGo and the Riva and I love love love them! As Jonmo1 said after you get started with your eGo you can vinture into 510 cartomizers (1 piece, that has the atomizer and cartridge in one) for simplicity. I love my 510 cartomizers on my eGo and Riva batteries and don't think I'll go back to the atomizer and cartridge again, unless I have to for some unknown reason. You will be very happy with the eGo and welcome to the ECF family :)

Welcome to the Ego family.....Had mine since Feb 11, just so happens, Feb 11 is also my last day with analogs....When you get time, you might also want to check out the LR attys...use the 510 LR attys on my Ego and love the TH and vapor....They don't last as long as a normal atty, but for $3-4 dollars a piece, if one lasts me 7-10 days that is okay with me...Welcome again and Enjoy the Adventure....P.S. Don't forget to order enough juice....

Thanks for the warm welcome. I've been sitting with this thing for the last two hours (had to wait for it to charge.. excruciating), reading up for my final and puffing away. I love it. After hearing so many stories scattered across the forum about every little thing that could go wrong, I'm happy to report it is working flawlessly, and it is exactly what I expected. *rapidly knocking on wood*

And thanks for the recommendations eGo fans... I'll have to learn how to quote multiple sources, but for now:

Cincy, I'll look into LR atty's. I was never a heavy smoker, so the standard atty has enough TH for me, but lots of vapor has a strange soothing effect on me so maybe I'll look into it.

Bella and Jonmo, cartomizers sound like something I could definitely use. I'm all about simplifying things whenever possible. Though I'm not sure how something like that would be cost efficient, I suppose the atty's just are designed to run down faster?? I'll check it out.

I do have one general question about carts/liquid that I couldn't really clarify looking through the boards... My eGo came with prefilled carts (RY4), and I got a bottle of Green Tea with it. Though I plan on trying the drip method a little later, I'd like to fill up some of the carts with the Green Tea. After I kill the first RY4 cart, can I just refill it with my other liquid or does that ruin the flavor? Do I need to wash it, get new filler for it, or just make sure I vape the last of the previous flavor away? I could probably find this out through experimentation, but if anyone can save me the trouble of a bad taste in my mouth.. that'd be wonderful.

Again, good lookin' out people. Great meeting all of you.
