I'm waiting to find a juice I REALLY enjoy before I upgrade my PV.. At least that's what I keep telling myself.. Still spending money on different cartos, clearos, and maybe a tank here shortly to get the most out of the juices I already have..

After awhile your tastebuds will begin to change, and some flavors you may not like. Juice that I originally loved (1-3 months after beginning vaping and quitting smoking) absolutely repulses me now, mostly tobacco flavored juices. I only vape fruity flavors, so I can suggest to you trying out some of those. I will also recommend to you trying out Boge LR cartomizers, they hold about 30 drops, but I use them everyday and prefer them over any other cartomizer. Best of luck to you!

If you can up your voltage one of the liquids you have may be your fav. I just got my provari today and the hotter it burns the stronger the flavor in my experience. I had a caramel flavor that tasted like nothing but it tastes like CARAMEL at 5 volts lol

Spoons,
Sounds like you will be set up for a while now. Of course, that all depends on how long that juice lasts you.... Not only is vaping healthier for you, it is way more fun! I have been amazed at all the different flavors and how great they taste! Every day that goes by, you will be that much closer to breaking even.

Check out the contest threads, you may even win something.... lots of free juices to be had. Also, the pay it forward treasure chest will get you free liquids.. Winning!
I will def try to win some contests.. What are these pay it forward treasure chests you speak of?

I completely agree with this.. I went from the kgo to a lavatube.. same exact flavor in both cartos, taste is much more intense at a higher voltage..

is going to get me into hot water... hey wait, hot water makes vapor.. :vapor: I can see spending tons of money on this..

Anyways, I just ordered a kgo for the girlfriend along with some cartos and some juice...

and I also ordered a Lavatube for myself, I figure I can hit her up at christmas time for a Provari..
:party: on the bright side, I have saved roughly $47 on stinkies this week, tomorrow will be 7 full days.

I would like to thank the kind contributers of this forum for helping start my journey to the poorhouse... (with cleaner lungs of course)

Hysterical, ya the overall goal is what - to quit the analogs, which we all have done and sure our lungs are clean or cleaning out, but the FUN....oh the FUN we have in looking at all those APV's, MODS, MONSTERS OF VAPOR!!!! Congrats on kicking the bad habit and welcome to the fun my fellow Mid Atlantic person :)

Hey sj.. We are practically neighbors... sort of. Do you know of any vaping events in dc/md/va.. I would probably go to one that I didn't have to catch a plane for...

Congratulations to you !

I have found that even tho I've bought a lot of stuff...I am still waaaay ahead on money !

Whhhhhaaatttt?? I think I've spent $500+ more than I would have if I were on analogs... How do you keep it under?

But then again.. The problem I have is wanting ALL the APVs!!

I think that vapers go through stages and start out with a basic setup, then get more and more gear until they end up with one or more of the primo PVs, and therefore spend more than they would have had they gone right from the basic to the deluxe setup. There is a lot of gear out there and people have whole collections that could fill up a kitchen table, and even upload pictures of them.

Especially if you have quit analogs you might see all that money you saved and then go on a spending spree. What you want to do is move from wherever you are now to the top of the stairs, not step by step but in leaps. So what I hear from people is they think spending $250+ on a PV is crazy, but they end up spending a lot more than that before they decide to go for the more expensive PV.

In the end what we want is something where we can control the voltage, called VV units. With normal units you are stuck with the battery power, in volts, and whatever the resistance of your atty is, in ohms. Together this defines the wattage that you will vape at.

So people then might look to get lower resistance atties, to bump up the power. Once again though this sticks you with a particular power setting. So what you really want to do is to be able to dial up whatever power you want. Some units, like the Provari, allow you to dial up the voltage of your battery and control the power of the vape that way, and others like the Darwin allow you to control the wattage, meaning that you can set it to a certain amount, say 8 watts, and you'll get that every time, whereas with other VV units you have to adjust the battery voltage with different atties that you use.

There are other types of VV units and people no longer have to spend a lot of money on them, but as a general rule, the more you spend on something the more you get for your money. This might be ease of use, durability, or whatever. So if you're looking to spend less over time, spend more now, because if you don't you will probably be spending even more by being too cheap :)

Howdy neighbor! I will keep an eye out as well.

I did notice a shop opened in Charlottesville, VA. I am not sure if it is brick and mortar or not. Maybe the demand in The general area is picking up? Not so much here in naptown.

Cool, another Marylander.. I have as of yet to see anyone vaping around here.. (not saying I am the only one, as I'm sure there are)
