Okie Newb Intro with a question

[swade85]

I was introduced into the vaping world about a year ago when I bought a blu starter kit. Worked great for me for about a month and then I fell back into analogs. Started doing some research about a month ago. Finally found a local place in OKC (Doc's Vapor) that could help me out. Mike was awesome and got me set up with a new eGo system. Its working great for me. Im really excited about it and am willing to try new things. Been analog free for a week now. And Im feeling way better already. As being a 12 year veteran smoker, vaping is working great.

I am currenty on vacation in Durango, Colorado, and was wondering if there was any resellers in this area so I can pick up some more e-liquid? Went to the local smoke shops and they were no help and I have searched endlessly online for someone in this area.

Welcome to ECF, swade.

I'm in Colorado on the Western Slope, but about 150 miles north of you. I haven't been to Durango lately, but there are very few vapers on the Western Slope, so I would seriously doubt there being a retailer in the area. Some of the malls have kiosks that sell liquid as well as ecigs, but I know you are not close to a mall either. If you get close to Montrose, you might try there.
Otherwise, you would probably have to come to Grand Junction to find a mall with eliquid.

If you have a day or two(order today, should be there in 2 days easy), try Rocky Mountain Vapors. He's in Breckinridge I think. A few shops in Denver. No mall kiosk? The Springs has a couple of shops, and the malls of course.

Try VaporSearchUSA.com (click on your state) and in ECF's Social Groups there may be a social group for your state. Once you have 5 posts or replies in New Members (real content, not spammed) then an hour later you can post elsewhere, buy stuff in the Classifieds and Modders sections in Buying & Selling, send PMs etc.

The most popular thing on Ego for everyday vaping is Boge 510 2 ohm cartomizers and I recommend thinner juices with those (I use 80PG/20VG). The cooler 3 ohm ones are a bit easier to learn to fill and keep damp (won't singe quite as easily if you let them get too low on juice). You need to get 1 ml of juice in, clean up, then lay on different sides and ends to settle it so every bit of the stuffing gets damp. Then keep it damp so it doesn't singe. Most can get a week or more use out of a cartomizer. Only put juices into cartomizers that you know you want to vape for the life of the cartomizer.

For testing new juices, a 510 drip tip on a 510 atomizer is a good setup. I also use a delrin or plastic drip tip on the end of a Boge cartomizer (easy to remove for checking stuffing or adding juice)

RocketRod, where in the Springs???? Been searching here for two years and have never found anything. If you know, please tell me.

On Academy/Flintridge, next to Baskin Robbins. Others are in the malls. Kiosk 2nd floor Chapel Hills, Hooka place in the Citadel (and get this, 15 steps from there, there is a kiosk that carries exactly everything the hooka place does for e-cigs). What you will find in the malls is mis-information. But all are over-priced in my mind. Sure wished your post count was up to drop you a pm.

Thanks RocketRod. I only need to know for those real emergencies (which rarely happen any more). I guess I should go inside the mall once in a while - then I might see them. I usually go from an outside door straight to a specific store and straight back out. I'm working on the post count. Been reading the forum for almost two years now and never signed up until today.

Thanks for the info guys. Yea I went to the smoke shop downtown to ask if they knew of anyone in the area and she practically laughed at me. I'll just have to make what I have last till I get back to OK. Unless there is anyone in Farmington, cause I will be there on Thursday.

Yea, I'm still trying to find what I like the most. So far the 2 ohm cartomizers from vapor kings are my fav's. I have been trying out the 510 tank also and it seems to work pretty good. Cant seem to get the higher resistance ones that I have to make enough vapor for my likeing, so I'm gonna stick with low res for now. And I also have some ego-t atomizers and tanks but I cant seem to get them to vape very well. I dont think the juice I'm using is thin enough.
