Here is my dissertation on a restart vaping experience...
While I still consider myself a newb to all of this, I have done a lot of research.
Watched a lot of youtube videos, read a lot of posts here and elsewhere.
I am by no means an expert, but want to write this for my own knowledge.
Hopefully this will help out others as well....
Please do not hesitate to correct me or add advice.
Back in 2010 I tried with the Joye Ego
To be honest, it was ok and usable, I didn't like it that much, if given the choice though, I would use that before I use an OTC eCig.
And I didn't know what else to try and decided to drop it all for a while.
Well, I am back, and decided it's time to try this again.
Mainly, because my mother is dying from Lung Cancer.
And I have been smoking for many decades now, time to change or quit.
I went on a trip but didn't have my order yet, so I took the time to also try some of the over the counter ones
I tried Blu, nJoy, Metro and a couple of others I can't remember the names of, didn't like any of them.
They work in a pinch I guess, but would never be a primary device.
They were all very harsh, not a lot of vapor, not satisfying at all.
So,,,, now....
Wow things have changed and improved a lot.
I am now using the following...
2 - eGo-C TWIST 1000mAh MEGA manual battery (these adjust form approx. 3.2 to 4.8 Volts)
3 - Vision Mini Vivi tanks with replaceable atomizer - Long Wicks (1 x 1.8ohm and 2 x 2.4ohm)
3 - Vision Vivi Nova replacement atomizer head - 2.4 Ohm- Long Wicks
I am using the Joye Ego charger on the batteries and it seems to be working fine.
I went through the same vendor I did 2 years ago (VaporKings) and got my order within about 3 days, man that was fast.
I had good experience with them last time as well.
Needed a charger replaced cause it was hissing, and that was a fast ship also.
I am very very pleased with this setup, it is so much better than what I was using before.
One of the major problems I had with the Joye Ego was that the juice would leak into my mouth, I didn't over fill them, it
just seamed to do it all the time. Also I would get a burnt taste (dry hits) on many occasions.
These tank systems are working great though.
So, besides the Vision Vivi Nova Mini, what is a good Tank for the Ego-C Twist Battery?
I am not ready to buy one of the big variable voltage batteries yet.
(Note to all interested: watch out for fake Vivi Nova's, buy from a reputable company and not from ebay or amazon unless you really
trust the seller. Use this site ECF and others to full advantage, and go with what others are recommending for vendors/sellers,
pay attention to the regulars and who they use. I am not endorsing anyone at this time btw, only going to talk about my
experiences as ymmv with any vendor/seller.

eJuice...
What I did like back then was the RY4 18MG, so I got some of that, I also got Brandy 24MG and Triple Five 24MG, all are 100%PG
Unfortunately, This was way harsh for me, so I have cut the Brandy and Triple five to approx 40PG/60VG this was a pretty
rough approximation. But is so much better, unfortunately again, it also (understandably) diluted the flavors. But still vapeable.
I also know I have diluted the nic level, which is fine, I am thinking that in the long run, I want about a 10mg or 12mg juice as a regular vape.
I used both the eJuice Me Up Calculator and the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...e-calculator-added-quantity-calculations.html (ejuce_calculatorv13.xls) to cross check calculations.
but in the end with what I have, and using a 5ml syringe, I got pretty close to my target nic level and vape hit.
and the flavor is not too bad except the brandy is pretty weak now.
I am looking for a good DIY Brandy flavoring, any ideas?
I have been vaping for about 3 days now..
I had 5 analogs left in a pack of Marlboro 100's
I smoked one yesterday and it made me feel pretty much like crap
I keep wanting to pick up my pack of smokes, but go for the Vape instead.
I don't know what my level of usage will be yet, but so far I am not displeased in the slightest
it's a learning curve to not want an analog.
Part of that I can tell you is, I like the flavors I have.
This helps in a HUGE way with not wanting an analog, Flavor is key I think.
My Usage...
I am currently using with My Blend Triple5 the 1.8ohm at approx. 3.4v to 3.6 volts
The my blend Brandy and a slightly diluted RY4 on 2.4ohm at approx. 3.8v to 4v.
So far, I am very pleased with this setup.
However, I am finding that the brandy tastes better at around 4.2V on the 2.4ohm atty.
This is of course, due to being diluted.
I have some other things on order from other vendors that should be here this week.
I have approx 35ml's right now, it's not going as fast as I thought it might.
I wish I had a local place that I could get this stuff from.
One thing I have noticed, is there are a lot of out of stock stuff around.
I hope this won't be a trend......
Anyway,
Happy Vapes
