Exchanging the odd smoke for the vape is the hard part for me. I've already cut out so many. 50+ to under ten

What flavours do you vape? For me tobacco flavours didnt fully work till I tried berry flavours, watermelon and menthols.

Yeah, you're right. My bad. Glad you corrected me. I was planning to buy some thinking they were better than the Ego One V2. Still might though as they are a bit cheaper (at Heavengifts) and come with coils were as the V2 doesn't.
Don't know if they are "better" than the V2. Have been using the Ego One Megas for a few weeks, and got a Tron-s yesterday. I like all of them very much. The vape is nearly identical. The Tron has a minimally tighter draw, which works well with the wide open airflow of the Ti CLR temp.control coils.

As an aside, strictly personal opinion, I find some of the kanthal CLR 1.0 ohm coils a little constricted, even after yanking out the overstuffed cotton wicks and replacing them with rayon. The solution for me has been to take the included cl Ni or Ti coil pins out and put them in the kanthal 1.0 CLR heads. The diameter of the pins for the cl tc coils is much larger. If that's too airy, just close the afc to compensate.

Mostly tobacco ones. I've got a few fruit ones and other flavors but I can't do them as an all day vape. The tobacco ones really help me. I like the blackberry one I've got, I've tried frosted flakes. I've got a few more I'm waiting to try.

Yeah finding a few non tobacco flavours helped me alot, made cigs taste gross when I have them. I did the same thing, slowly cut back. Went for 1 every 15mins to 1 every 30mins str8 away. Then every 45 mins then hour, then half a smoke an hour to just a few puffs now. At the point now that smoking makes my juice taste bad for 10+mins afterwards and want to stop soon just for that reason.

I'm certainly working my way there. But for now I'm content smoking still just not 2+ppd.

Yeah, that took me 5 months so your doing good.

He want's tight MTL with more clouds and thoat hit so 1 ohm should be perfect. Higher watts, can just dry burn the coil and rewick with organic cotton every week or so instead of replacing it. Can save them and rebuild them when your ready. Tron and ego one are about the same just Tron looks much cooler lol.

Be warned you will go through 2-3x more juice to produce 2-3x more clouds without lowering PG and adding VG. You need the PG for throat hit though so this is really your only option. I started spending so much on juice I had to take up DIY then rebuilding coils shortly after to make up the difference.
Spending more on juice wouldn't be a problem for Me as it won't be near what I spent on cigarettes every week

Yeah, I rolled my own so it cost about the same for me. Went from maybe 4ml/day to 10ml/day. Cigs were about $100/month, $10 30ml juice would cost me $100/month... making my own I spend maybe $40/month. Just don't get addicted to buying vape gear too lol. Even then at least you'll have cool gear you can re sell... try selling someone a pile of cigarette butts! lol.

I never could get into rolling my own. I've been a die-hard Marlboro smoker since I started smoking. Could never smoke anything else. Now with vaping I've gone through 3 bottles of juice and maybe a carton of reds in the last three weeks. That I think is about 80 bucks. As opposed to the 220 I would have spent on just cigarettes. I'm looking at that as a savings of 140.

Don't get me wrong - that's brilliant, and I'm really glad for you - you're doing really well.

It's just that when you're waiting for your 3rd vape mail packet that month and you're looking at your shelf(ves) full of RTA/RBAs deciding which device/flavour/battery combination to take out with you today, it'll start to seem like a little like a bit of a saving here, and a bit of a saving there...

$30 for 30ml of elqiuid? Preposterous! I could've made that myself for $1.50 and spent the savings on another 2 Taifun GT2s!

Right I get what you mean. I'm certainly not looking to go on a shopping spree.
