I started vapeing 3 weeks ago but have also been smoking analogs, just not nearly as much. Pack to pack and half down to 7-8 so let me pat myself on the back for that! LOL. I got my extra long manual battery (901)?! from VFL yesterday and it rocks! Better than USB I think! Ciggies are tasting nastier and vapor tastier and lots of vapor. I also boiled the prefilled carts with some help of the members on here (thanks if you happen to read this) I didn't like and dripped Wowboy juice! I thought prefilled carts were good, forget about it! If you are new IMO you should get a manual with juice and blank carts. Never felt ready to quit analogs till now. I'm on my back porch with my dogs. I've got analogs and PV and it's easier to make the right choice.
