AuntLea and I have hit our one week point vaping.

We love it! Still have the occasional cig, but I am not going to complain about 2 packs in a week at this point.

We started with an eGo-C starter kit. Fortunately I had the presence of mind to order an eGo-C Twist 1000mAh battery & CE4+ V2 clearomizer. This turned out to be a very good thing as we soon realized that laying the eGo-C down caused severe leakage. I gave up on the tank system in a matter of hours ...

2 eliquid shipments later - the hunt for the all day vape is on - has led us to some interesting finds. First one for me was High Caliber Killa Vanilla. Thought I loved it, but Cin-a-bun (2nd shipment) is better.

I also can see that I am going to have to get a couple of more eGo-C Twist batteries. The staying power those things have until they die is really good. I am getting a consistent taste throughout each battery charge cycle (so far). The standard 1000mAh batteries that came with the starter kit just do not have the same characteristics.

I am intrigued by all of the "mods" out there, but am equally intrigued by the use of the term mod itself in this context. A "mod" everywhere else is a slang term meaning a modification to a standard product. These so-called mods are products all of their own.

Their owners are so religious about the experience I am turned off by all of them at this point. Since I started my career in electronics I can easily see me making my own at some point (probably soon).

I am also encouraged by the standardization of the various technologies for such a young industry. A 510 is a 510 regardless of what it looks like. You simply need to mind the resistance of the thing you are screwing into your 510 compatible battery. This is a sign of a much more mature industry. Good job vendors!

I have much more to learn but have been able to take advantage of the experience of folks at ECF and a couple on YouTube.

Any good Twitter follows out there?

So, what was your first week like? What did you learn in that first week?

Congrats. Hopefully, it will be MUCH easier than you expected. At least it was for me.

Vaping was the perfect substitute for stinkies for me. I quit immediately, with no problems at all. After 2-3 days, you will be tempted to try a cig. Do it! And, if you're like me, you will wonder how in the hell you ever smoked those wicked things. They will taste terrible.

But if you don't switch immediately, just hang in there. Some people need to do it gradually.

To answer uncle Kevin's question. My first week Was quite an experience. First time vaping and all. What did I learn? That there is quite a difference between cigs and vaping. I do get satisfaction from vaping most of the time although there are moments when I get frustrated. I get the throat hit and vapor just fine but I'm looking for that flavor. Especially with my favorite flavors. I love Carmel the most. But we also got flavors like butterscotch and blueberry (to name a couple) and I was disappointed. No problem. There are a lot of vendors out there. I'm sure I will find what I'm looking for.

Happing vaping:)

Yeah I remember that good feeling vaping my brains away and proud of the fact that i QUIT smoking. I remember feeling like the world was in my hands. If I could just go back now say hi to my 1 week old self id tell him to buy some high powered sleek variable device. Then just order samples of e liquid from various vendors to see what my taste buds enjoyed most. Everyone has different taste's so find what suits you best. Finally id tell him not make it so obvious at work when choosing to vape. People can be a bit foolish and ignorant so be discreet if you choose to do so. I went back to analogs (cigarettes) because I was told not to use it at my place of employment. Be smart about it and do your thang.

Best of luck,
Brian

Thats great to hear! Make sure you stick with it and you will gradually quit smoking when the time is right, usually around the time when you realize vaping is more enjoyable.
My first week wasn't that great at all. I started off with a cig look a like kit, and the prefilled cartomizers and was really getting turned off of the whole vaping idea and thought this is the best it can offer. I was ready to give up till I got good advise to get a kgo. I have been smoke free for about 6 weeks now. It's good your starting off strong with the egos.
Good luck!

My first week was interesting. I basically went cold turkey. Once I got my Volt in my hands, I didn't look back at an analog. I've learned things like the difference between an auto and manual, sealed, carto, tanks, clearos. It really is interesting to look at any "group" of sorts and see that there is an inherent lingo that persists. Interestingly enough, unlike most groups of the referenced kind, this group wants to share their knowledge. If someone would have asked me just a month ago what the difference between a clearo and carto was, at gun point, I would have had no way to answer. Now, I do have an answer. So, maybe I say .. in the first two weeks ... I've learned a lot, ditched the stinkies and found a kick ... new hobbie. And that, if I have a question this is THE place to ask it.

Awesome. The hobby part was unexpected. But I feel myself getting sucked in. I expect it will be an interesting ride.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
