A forum for Old-folks-vaping. I qualify, so I guess my comments belong here.
Fourteen months ago, I purchased my first eCig, a very bad-tasting Cig2O . The next was a Metro, not quite as bad but bad. Then, the three piece 510, which was a major pain because it required constant probing, fluffing and dripping.
Back to the web for a lot more reading. I did not want to give up on eCigs.
Now comes the part where I admit to a failure of clear reasoning . . . If they are rated #1, they must be really good. . . . Right? Wrong!! And if that weren’t bad enough, they were on sale so decided to stock up. (Dummy, you haven’t even tried them yet.) Over $200 down the drain on V2. I couldn’t stand the taste of any of the twelve flavors. To me, they all tasted like a mix of curry, oregano and ginger in varying amounts.
The KR808, except for battery life, I liked. So, with the help of ECF, I started mixing my own juice and using blank 808 cartomizers. The DIY has been a rewarding adventure and now, I must admit, is a hobby.
Tired of fighting with the 808 batteries, I went back to ECF for further education. I learned a little about how things like Ph, Ohms, Watts, mAh and Viscosity affected me and my PV. I purchased an eGo-T kit (tanks and I don’t get along), an eGo-C, and then the eGo-C Twist. These all worked well enough but I wanted Perfection. So I bought two Johnson Creek VEA kits (okay, but not that impressed). Frustration began to set in. A perfect PV is out there and I couldn’t find it.
I realized, while in that pitiful mindset, that if I had been smoking for those months, I would have spent over $2,500 and have nothing to show for it but a persistent cough and bad breath. I have, however, a shelf full of flavorings, a pile of tanks and cartomizers, adapters and drip-tips, 180ml or more of very good ejuice and a drawer full of batteries, all for just over $2,000. What a deal!!! I’m ahead of the game!
I am over my frustration, self-pity and buyers-remorse. I am all better. I am happy. So the only reasonable thing to do is order a new Joyetech kit from Vapor-geek.
If it’s worthy of comment I’ll let you know.
