Pic of my Newbie setup!

[dragonfly72]

If any of you have read my previous posts over the past couple of weeks you know that I am a newbie here. Been vaping for almost 6 weeks now.
I started out with a cig2o, then went to the Blu and then after much reading and all of the great knowledge on this site I upgraded to an Ego setup.
I have 2 Smoktech Ego Mini's. I use Clearomizers, shorty cartos and I have a DCT too.
I have been ordering ejuice in different flavors from different sites to try them out and find my favorites.
Essentially I have been melting my visa card but I still havent spent anywhere near what I did smoking analogs so all is good!

So here is the little setup that has me so happy.


My personal experience so far is..........
I prefer Clearomizers for all day vaping....love shorty cartos for trying new juices...and the DCT is nice but I'm not thrilled with it. I would like to give the mini vivi nova a try or the ultimate would be to have a jonboyUSMC tank setup. They are just beautiful!

I'm learning the importance of steeping juices....many that I have gotten so far I have not liked at all but once they sat for a few days they get better. My preference has been Vanilla, Spearmint, Wintergreen and Orange creamsicle.

I ordered a sample pack of juice last week and couldnt help myself when I added the bacon flavor to my cart. I was giggling the whole time. It came the other day and believe it or not it truly does taste like bacon! I was a little amazed!

My new addiction will quickly become collecting different drip tips...I amazed by what beautiful little pieces of art some of them are.

Long story short....LOL....I am analog free, vaping and very happy! I am sure my collection will grow over time but I am very happy with my little setup right now.

Thanks to all of the folks on here who helped me and answered many questions....You guys are great!

Welcome to the forum's . You seem to have things under control . It's nice to have several devices on hand , as we never know , when one might fail , or need a charge . A lot of people stay with the setup's you have already , but don't be surprised if you start buying big battery type PV's . But as the batteries are cheaper to replace than the Ego types , people find them cheaper , in the long run . Good Luck . Oh , and definately try the mini Vivi Nova , it works very well , and is pretty cheap .

CE4 drip tip adapters! I didn't know such a thing existed. I learned something from your pic today.

Nice setup. When I first started I also melted my card. I quickly instituted a policy. I kept track of how much I would have spent on cigarettes and made that my new vaping budget. I'm a sucker for new gear, so I found myself having to exercise restraint...for about two months. Cigarette costs outpaced vaping costs pretty quickly for me.

Absolutely....I found them at Hoosierecig.com Stainless steel CE4 Drip tip adapter

I have gotten all of my gear from them so far. They have the best prices that I found so far and they ship quickly.

For me it's pretty much the same- using clearo's and tanks for all day vaping (depends on which tank due to leakage) and i usually drip or use cartos for new flavor because its less of a pain in the .... to just do it that way.

As beyondthunder said, keep track of spending as well. At first it's ok but over months it can get a little iffy spending on all the cool vaping stuff. I remember buying a 10$ 50ml bottle...then another....then 5 more haha. It becomes a hobby for sure! I just give myself a monthly budget. I'm not a huge spender so it's around 50-60 bucks for me due to sales and cheap places i shop. I vape about 6mls a day give or take so taking into consideration that for me was something that determined my budget. When you first start vaping you shouldnt try to average how much you vape because you are just getting off of analogs but it's just something to keep in mind, when i first quit smoking i vaped upwards of 15mls some days.

I have done the same thing so far. Truly, so far everything has been so affordable. Obviously I dont have a Provari or an expensive tank or handmade drip trips and such........been I will in the near future!

I have ordered all of my equipment from Hoosier and juices from 3 different vendors.....the juices are what I seriously can't stop...too many choices!

That's a nice setup, how long are those ego minis lasting you, I've been eyeing them for stealth vaping.

Have you ever tried these cheap little DCT's like I have? Do you think that I will notice a difference between my cheapie and a Mini Vivi Nova?
One more question....do you know if you can put Pluid in a vivi nova? I know it is an off the topic question but I am dying to try that stuff...curiosity killed the cat!

One lasts me through an entire clearo of juice....i charge one at dinner time every night and the dang thing lasts me til the next day, so 24 hrs. Now....I do use the second one for a couple puffs throughout the day just because I like to have a different taste sometimes in the day (its more like I cant keep myself from wanting to vape 14 different flavors because I have them!).
I was surprised....I thought that they wouldnt last long at all when I got them but I dont think thats too bad for a little battery.
