Thanks for the info Mike! I will have to check it out because Walgreen's was a bust for the Rolled Absorbent Cotton! The bad thing about living in a rural area is lack of shopping places! I received my DCT coils today,and went to the hardware store for a punch...No luck there either!! Online shopping here I come!

Thats kind of what happened to me last week when I bought my 1st ever non-disposable e-cig. I ordered an Ego-T from Totally Wicked, who call it the "Tornado Tank" kit. It was on sale for $54 I believe, with 5 pre-filled tanks, etc. But it took a week for it to get to my house from halfway down the east coast, which was odd. In the mean time I went out and bought my 1st ever disposable e-cig, a "Finity" menthol unit. I used it for 4 days, but it wasnt very good and I kept smoking about 10 cigs a day still.

But then I got the Ego-T in last Tuesday, and after that I only smoked 2 more cigs within the next 22 hours, then I quit completely. I've been smoking daily since about 1983 or so(addicted), but I started in 1980 at 13, but wasnt doing it often yet then.

So when I got the Ego-T in last week, I really didnt plan on being able to quit smoking per se, and I was really doing it because I'd disappointed my Mother by not attending this hypnotism stop smoking clinic where 1 man supposedly hypnotizes the entire paying audience, and you all quit smoking! Needless to say I was "skeptical". So I didnt look into it, and it my Mom was holding onto that as a possible method for me to quit.

I really didnt plan on quitting yet, but after I got a good e-cig kit, it just happened! It has been very easy to tell the truth, although it makes me look more courageous if people around me think I'm really sweating it out here!

I did the group hypnosis thing back in the late 80's. It started badly when I realized the hypnotist had more gold around his neck than my car was worth. We were "hypnotised" and told to put our cigs and lighters under our chairs. We would be willing to leave them when we were done.

I got to the parking lot and thought "What the he)) am I doing?". I went back and got my smokes and lit up as I went out the door.

My brother did that once. It was a group thing and he feel asleep while the hypnotist was trying to put everyone under! :facepalm: :laugh:

How does your mother feel about you skipping the hypnotist and picking up vaping?

Amazing the difference a decent battery can make. I usually recommend the eGo to new people. I've been using eGos ever since we got our first ones in early October 2011. They're still working although I've changed from cartomizers to my current mini vivi nova. Right now I'm perfectly content. My kids and sister are thrilled that I'm no longer smoking cigarettes, but they seem to be leery of the eCigs. They just don't understand them. The general public doesn't either, but that's slowly changing as more people switch. I see a day where vaping will be accepted everywhere and it will be nice not to stealth vape or be banished to designated areas outside.

I'm glad to hear the eGo worked out for you and now you're going to be busy learning about all the choices of equipment and flavors that are out there for you to try. Happy vaping!

Oh Bob, that is too funny. I tried that route too, but not with a group. Didn't work for me either. I was so relaxed I didn't light up until I got home. So, I guess it did work for me, but only for 20 minutes.

I thought so too. There has also been a Pink Buzz Pro that has been donated to sell. It is pretty sharp too. It has the pink cancer awareness ribbon with a pnk glass drip tip.

This is the Tip I won In Sagewood Glasses auction..I think its soo wonderful that the vaping community is coming together to help a awesome person/vendor!!

Thanks you two! I now have to get a screen shammy to wipe off all of the coffee I sprayed on my monitor!
