Thanks for all of the help.

I know the hardware that I want now so I am not going to be doing much looking for new hardware for awhile but will still be buying hardware.

I have my ProVari and V-2 carto tank and love it.

My second ProVari as a cut down candidate is on the way.

I will be getting more Vaperfextion carto tanks and for a little while be happy.

I will be watching what happens on the carto tank rebuildable such as the Killer 705 and the Diver.

I am still new but wish I had gone Provari sooner than I did.

It is really nice knowing what hardware I want instead of trying to figure out what I want.

I am now on the juice search part of my journey to analog free living.

Finding the right hardware is just part of the equation.

Finding the right juice delivery device and the right juices to go in them is the rest of the equation. Good luck with your vaping journey.

I am having a great time with my Vaperfexion V-2. I want more of those.

When the second Provari gets cut down I will have my small option.

I think for the moment Provari, Vaperfexion, and Ikenvape is a good combination until I start thinking about rebuildables.


I am at the learning about what juice I like stage. I have been buying a variety of juices at places I have gotten various hardware I no longer want.

I want to start finding out what juices I will really like as I round out my hardware. :)

Good luck! I went through a couple of PV's before I got my first Provari & I feel like I'm all set on that end too! I'm no longer searching for another PV but I'm sure ill add to my prothingy family again. It seems like the juice hunt is now the issue for me too! Don't get me wrong...I have several that I love & several that are steeping. I just like variety! I'm starting to feel like a juice hoarder!

You make your own juice? I want to learn how to do that too but at first I think I need to buy some pre-made stuff as I read about making my own.

Good to read that your vaping adventure is proving to be a good one, thus far.

I just don't know what to do with the stuff I no longer want to use. :)

I like things neat and tidy and to only have the items that I use. I am suffering from e-cig gear clutter and need to thin things down to what I will use. :p

Same here! I just didn't like that stuff was sitting in my vape stash when i knew the odds of me using it again were pretty slim. I gave some to friends who were interested in getting started & posted some in the classy's after I got verified. You could also go to the PIF Treasure Chest & gift it to someone else who needs it.

I know a smoker I would like to get converted. I will see if I can get her to take some of my stuff. :)

She does not know I have been vaping as I have not seen her since I started.

I thought I saw something that showed some kind of poll for the best juice of 2012?

I can't find it. I figured the best place to start was the winners of something like that.

"The e cigarette>general e smoking discussion" it's a sticky at the top.

If unsure what pg/vg ratio to order, a balanced 50/50 blend is generally recommended by the juice vendors themselves. If you are going to go heavier in one direction, I'd go a little heavier with the vg.

Pg (propylene glycol) tends to hold flavors better than Vg (vegetable glycerin), but Vg produces more vapor than Pg. Used together in equal proportions they make a good team.

Steeping merely means allowing a custom-mixed juice time to mature for it to attain its best flavor. This can be anywhere from a week to two weeks generally speaking. That doesn't mean you can't try your new juices out upon delivery. Just know they may taste somewhat better if allowed to steep.

I would look hard on each juice vendor's website to see if they recommend steeping at all, and take their recommendations. Most people shake their juices well daily during the steeping process to insure best mixing of components, and some will leave the top off the bottle for at least a night to allow any alcohol used in the base to evaporate. I personally don't recommend any applied heat to the juices (to speed up steeping) as any heat can degrade nicotine and possibly adversely affect the flavor components.
