Hi everyone,

I found this forum about a week ago, and have been reading through whatever I could for more information on vaping.

Having been smoking (mostly 1-2 packs a day) for a couple of decades at least, I've tried minis (analog lookalikes) in a neighbouring country and even brought some back, years ago, when I found them to be really useful for cutting down. Of course they didn't last long, the batteries couldn't be recharged within a couple of weeks. And I went back to analogs.

A few months ago, I've started reading up about vaping and realized this was an excellent way for me to cut off my need for analogs. Even tho', I seem to smoke rather heavily, I realized this only happens when I'm not busy working or at home. There are times when I hardly touched a stick for the entire day, and I never really feel a need to. I've tried patches, gum and even went cold turkey for nearly a year. But I still end up with analogs in the end. :(

I realized the one thing I was addicted to was probably holding on to something and puffing out billowing smoke. :laugh: Is that even possible? I guess it is, for me anyway. :vapor: So I've a feeling I would be able to live with low nic liquids or even move on to 0% fast.

For the past month, I've been trying to get a hold of PVs but considering the location I am residing, and not having time to travel due to project commitments for at least a year or so, I've not been successful after several attempts and watched my funds disappear with nothing to show for it. But I guess, there's no harm in continuing to read up more in ECF while I keep trying when I can afford it. Budget has been tight lately as well, especially after several failed attempts. :facepalm:

I'm still looking forward to the day when I finally get my hands on a PV, and reduce or stay off analogs for good.

Personally, I've been looking at investing on the Vamo V3 and Ego-WP, for home and discretionary outdoor use. I'm still trying to study what tanks (not sure if that's the right description) would be suitable for these as well, since I read about how plastic ones will probably spoil much faster.

Vamo is an excellent choice in a full featured light saber sized APV. Check. If you want smaller, consider the iTaste 3.0. If you want less expensive, the Spinner/Twist (Spinner). In tanks, consider the evod, the Protank (V2 just released), or the Davide has my vote until I can try the PT2. With the Vamo, batteries, charger and a couple of evods, you're all in at about $60. About $70 with the Protank/Davide's. Good luck, welcome, congrats, YOU CAN DO IT! Best to you!

Thanks! I look forward to moving further away from analogs, as soon as I can get my itchy hands on a PV. Haha!

I did consider the iTaste, but size won't matter if I'm at home. :p And perhaps a more inconspicuous one for use when I'm not at home.

Just took a look at the Davide, seems like I would choose between this and the Protank. I already spent these amounts in several orders thus far, none of which managed to leave customs. Oh well. I'm just going to keep trying, and see if I have other alternative ways to get them. Looking at what vaping has done for many here, and my own short experience with it, I think it will be worth it. I just hope I don't go broke before that happens. *LOL*

I wonder if they would confiscate this: $36.11 TECS MSK-2000 VW Adjustable OLED Electronic Cigarette Battery Compartment with LED Flashlight - brown / 0.55" OLED / 1*18650 / 1*18350 / 2*18350 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping.

It's a flashlight/electronic cigarette combo. As long as they didn't actually say anything about the e-cig part of it, it might pass. Certainly you can import a flashlight, right?

It comes in brown or silver. The silver looks a lot better. And, it's VV/VW too!

on the silver one, if thats the box it comes in, it states its an Electronic Cig. - Maybe order it with a gift box wrapping?

ah man! that really sucks... i wish you luck. I didn't know other places were so strict... is it due to the fact they are ecigs? is that why they would intercept it?

Yeah, living in one of the few places that banned it, before any real research on it has been made, really sucks. Not quite sure, how I can try jumping through the loops to get this, but I appreciate all the suggestions. Though lets just keep it low for now, there are always people on the other side watching and learning from public posts. :p
