So this started innocent enough... ;)

Allen congrats on being analog free and for getting your wife and MIL into vaping too! Seems like you have already found some good flavors too!

I think I'm going to be in that same boat relatively soon. I just bought a kit, but I know my boyfriend is going to want one, since when I was smoking the disposable ones, he kept taking them from me. I know I'm going to need another battery or two for sure, and the kit I got was all black so I'm probably going to go for a pink set for myself and let him hang on to the black set.

I recently joined the vaping family and also purchased an Inferno kit from Volcano, but only after weeks of research. I am so pleased with my purchase it is the perfect kit for me, so far I am just a Dripper. I haven't really found a flavor yet that i want to continually vape. I really like the Menthol burst from Volcano but after awhile i start to get a headache. I also ordered Choconillahaze... grossssssss. Vanilla Bean... mehhh not for me. I decided to order from a few other vendors (ECBlend, Pinkspot, AVE, GoodEJuice... and still really no luck on an all day vape. I'm glad that I am now a part of this Community (ECF) and the Volcano family. I hope to use these helpful resources to find my all day vape soon!

Dehydration and too much nicotine are likely culprits for that headache.

As you transition from the short, concentrated session mindset of cigarettes to the every now and then all day long rhythm of vaping, you'll start to lose track of how much you reach for your ecig, and it's easy to forget to drink extra water in proportion to your vaping. Vapor is dehydrating, though, so make sure you increase your water intake.

Over the first few days, you'll learn to adjust your draws/inhalations to get more nicotine from each puff. If you continue to vape just as much, just as often, you end up getting more nicotine into your system than when you started. Also, if you're trying out flavors, you may be vaping just to vape instead of vaping to satisfy a nicotine craving (which isn't a bad thing at all!), so you might not realize that you're vaping more than you used to smoke. Smoking has some built-in limiting factors that vaping doesn't have, like crispy throat and lungs and the smoked-too-much stomachache. With vaping, it's easier to get too much nicotine without realizing it.

Either of these factors, or both combined, can lead to considerably more nicotine in your system than you're used to, especially once you find a flavor you really like and reach for often just to enjoy it. Headaches are a very common symptom of too much nicotine. It might be other things, but it can't hurt to drink extra water and maybe buy some zero- or low-nicotine menthol burst to mix with what you have to tone down the nicotine concentration.

So the last of round-one goodies showed up today!

This last (for now) shipment was the Magma (510) kit for my mother-in-law (MIL). The wife opened the package before I got home and had "a few questions" since I ordered a few extra items! I explained I ordered some extra tankomizers for her and the MIL and a new one for my Inferno just in case there was an issue... along with a bunch of other odds and ends! Crisis averted but the "Appropriations Department" was not initially impressed...

What really surprised me was my MIL! I loaded up a clearomizer with the new juice I ordered with her kit; the Volcano brand Kona Coffee (VERY impressed with the flavor BTW). Showed her how the manual button worked along with a quick explanation and demo and handed it to her. Two quick puffs and then a nice slow draw- she had it perfect! This is a big deal here... she is technologically, mechanically and gadgetlly challenged so to see her adapt a PV (especially a manual battery version) so quickly was really astounding. Not expecting her to dive into filling or cleaning a clearomizer anytime soon but I will enjoy the small victory!

The wife has also taken a liking to the Kona Coffee, especially mixed half-and-half with the Choconilla Haze flavors- my BRILLIANT idea BTW Another poster commented about running out of RY-4 but I see major fist-fights resulting in a loss of either the Kona or Choconilla! Still digging the cinnamon personally, but I see their point; maybe a Kona-CinnaBomb...

Anyway, I guess this has been a BIG success so far! Being the consummate gadget super-freak, this appeals to my OCD and ECF is a super resource.

Just need to figure out moderation I guess... I can already feel the VAD flaring up- you just can't have too many cartos or attys and there's no harm and a new juice flavor or two, right??

Sounds great, Allen! So very encouraging also when you have other family/friends exploring this with you...

LMAO, only because that's a happy story, and soooo typical!

Just wait until your bride starts requesting vaping equipment for Christmas, Mother's Day, birthday, anniversary and every third Tuesday...

You forgot, on payday
