The one thing you are the happiest with - device, juice, whatever

[Midnightchimera]

What is the one thing that you have purchased that you are the happiest with? I am a noob to ECF, but not to vaping. I started in March 2011 with White Cloud, paid way too much cause I didn't know any better and they saw me comin fer sure. Then earlier this year switched to V2. Movin' up the ladder here folks, lol. Then 2 months ago bought into the X2 passthru by Smokeless Image using X2 clearomizers which I am happy with so far, and still moving up that ladder, but KNOW there's stuff out there that would please me more.

Then I found ECF and have been reading till my eyes bleed, lol. Waiting for a Vision Spinner, some vivi's, thread covers, and a glass drip tip. i haven't hit my peak yet, I'm sure, because a mod is definitely in my future and maybe rebuildables. Right now I am quite happy with my X2's, but I can guarantee that will change with the VV and then I am sure it will continue onward and upward. I have been known to go overboard with my hobbies. Three kilns, lbs of glass and lots of molds, a closet full of quilting material, bags of yarn (i also used to spin my own yarn and had three spinning wheels but had to give it up cause of bad knees), a cupboard full of soaping supplies. I got into candle and soap making enough that I had my own company designing and producing RTV silicone molds. I have a sneaking suspicion that this "hobby" will fare the same fate and I'll have to make room for the new stuff somewhere, lol. And I can guarantee that if my eyes were better, I'd be blowing me some glass tips and tanks.

This is a lovely, informative board and I hope to be able to contribute more at some point. Thanks for having me!

So far the only thing that I have added to my original purchase is the Vivi Nova. That has been my happiest purchase. It was THE thing that got me to finally get rid of the cigs. Before I got that, I was still smoking 2 or 3 cigarettes a day.

Then came the juices Shortly after the Nova find, I found my juice vendor of choice....I am in maintenance mode now.

Edit to add!! Welcome to ECF!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to ECF! For me, it's gotta be the Provari Mini, just recently upgraded from a mini Lavatube, best decision yet. As for fluid system, I'm happiest with the HH.357 atomizer, it's also a pretty penny considering the type of item, but it's so consistent and performs really well, I just bought another one as a spare. And for juice, Organic Celestrial Honeydew from Virgin Vapor so far...but there's still so many out there to try...keep on vaping and keep on experimenting!

Hiya, and welcome from another new member. Right now I'd have to agree with Robino1 and say I love the Vivi Nova's. The big 3.5ml is great for at home, and the mini is great for on the go and fits my ego's like a glove with the Ego skirt 510 adapter.

Thanks, Robin! I think I've read (and enjoyed) all of your posts.
The most immediate purchase once I found ECF was the clears and the juices. The pre-filled cartos went into the round file, And it didn't take me too long to find HHV and A+ either, lol.

Thanks again for the welcome.

Thanks I personally think that those two vendors are tops!

Where is Verona? Never mind....I will just google it

I would have to say that I am happiest with the performance that I get from AW IMR batteries.
They just seem to make any APV a better PV.

What I have been the happiest with isn't anything I bought, it has been the friends I have found here in ECF. The type of people who go out of their way to help someone, offer advice and just generally are good people. But they are all people I would have never met if I hadn't started vaping.

 

[Midnightchimera]

Thank you, Rellen. I'm really looking forward to what I hope is an even better vape experience with the vivi. I've got a mini and the 3.5 coming and if the 3.5 looks wonky on my spinner I guess I'll just have to purchase something that befits it, lol.

Robin, Verona is 12 miles east of Pittsburgh.

If Hubby doesn't get me a Provari for Christmas I will be looking at it when one of my Twists die. Is it wrong of me to think about dropping one accidentally........while.......doing.......the......dishes?

I really do love my Twists but wouldn't mind having a Provari.

Yeah.....that's on the Other side of the state I might wave while I drive to Michigan to see my kids and grandkids.

Nancy R, I am normally a lurker on any forum. I have been so impressed with the calibre of the folks posting here and it's been the main reason for me pushing the button.

I'd have to say it's the IGO-L rebuildable dripping atty. I couldn't have been less interested in the rebuildables until my husband set it up and told me to just try it.

 

[Midnightchimera]

Absolutely not a sin to drop the twist. Actually, it is your duty. After all, think of the savings. Disposable vs rechargeable battery fed and built like a tank. My hubby wouldn't mind. He doesn't know what they cost and since I manage the moolah, I could tell him it cost $30 and he wouldn't even question it, lol. This man was happy with the V2, what can I say? Ignorance is bliss in his case. Gotta love him though. I spend a fortune on hobbies and he barely says a word. Especially after I b--ch slapped him.

I have bought and sold most of the APVs on the market this year and I kept 2 GGTS' and 2 Odysseus'. The GGTS' are telescopic mods that have an air control feature that allows you to adjust the amount of air getting to whatever you have on top of it. The Odys are rebuildable attys that use silica wick and Kanthal resistance wire. They have expansion packs that allow the tanks to be extended to double the capacity, and extra configuration parts that allow for using the atty in drip mode, ce5 mode and I believe there is a 510 mode which I haven't tried yet. This setup will go to my grave with me. It is truly the perfect vape.

 

[Midnightchimera]

Kwalka, sounds like you're really interested in perfecting the experience. I've been watching YouBoobTube looking at coiling and rewicking and it doesn't look difficult at all, just fiddly. I'm sure to try it at some point.

 

[Midnightchimera]

Shydragon, sadly I don't think dripping is for me, other than to sample. I want tanks, the bigger the better. Fill it up, vape and relax. I am usually reading, watching Tv, yelling at the cats, yelling at the dog, yelling at the husband, and think dripping would complicate my life even more. Of course, I could drop all of those other activities and just drip, lol. Make a lot of family, cats and dogs happier, fer sure.

I am more obsessed with this"hobby" than perfecting the experience. I have reached my Happy place with vaping, between what I just posted and genesis RBAs. There is a big difference between a silica style RBA and a genesis RBA. Once you get into either style you will never go back. There is a bit of a learning curve. Once its overcome everything becomes OK. You can rebuild a RBA for pennies, literally.
