Tomorrow has been a long time coming

[Scoper50]

Well maybe it hasn't been THAT long. But tomorrow my package will be arriving in the mail containing my new Joyetech eGo-c Twist along with my Kanger T3 clearomizer, and some type of joyetech atty that I plan to use for dripping. This is my first real setup. For the past two weeks, I've been using blucigs. It's my only experience with vaping, and I just simply can't wait to try out my new system. I'm literally losing sleep over it. I'm obsessing about it. I hope I'm not disappointed.

I normally get excited when I order something online (non vaping related), but this is nuts. I have a feeling I'm gonna spend a good portion of the morning and possibly early afternoon listening for the sound of the mail truck. Does anybody know if the ego twist batteries come with a charge in them? If I gotta wait another 3 hours after the package is delivered I might freak out a little.

Welcome to the jungle!

Good choice on the ego twist and the kanger T3 - looks like you did your research before you bought anything (after the blu cigs). I started on Blu Cigs myself and sent them back asap. From what i remember you have to charge your batteries first. - usually the Twist does NOT come with a charger so I hope you bought one

Tomorrow is a great day for you! These posts make me want to buy more gear!

 

[Scoper50]

Yes, I bought a charger. But it's just a usb charger for the computer. Does anybody know if the wall charger adapter charges it faster? If it does, I'll buy a wall charger. But I'm so used to charging stuff off the computer I didn't bother.

When I bought my twist it came with about 70% battery life. YMMV

Not to hijack but I too am waiting on something. A cobra genesis atomizer. Its stuck in customs and the waiting is killing me...

I just got my first egos less than a week ago. They came at least partialy charged. I didn't wait to charge. I started using it as soon as I got it.

 

[Scoper50]

Is there a way to check the charge of the battery with a multimeter? I'm an auto mechanic, and i know how to use one. But I'm not sure how to test this type of battery

Center raised nipple is positive , outer threads of connection is neg...not sure on what voltage for sure but most ecig batteries much like most batteries of these types are stored and then shipped with 70% charge.

Yeah, I did my research. On new years day I didn't have to work, and didn't have much to do, so I spent a good portion of the day on these forums reading and posting. I wanted to make sure I bought something of quality that works well. I didn't want to buy the first thing I saw or fall for an advertising gimmick like I did with the blu cigs. I purchased the 1000 mah version of the ego twist, and if I like it, I'll definitely be getting the 650 mah version. I'm also really curious about the mini nova tanks. Also want to pick up some blank cartomizers. I have a feeling that this new hobby of mine is going to cost me a lot of money initially, but I have the extra income, so what the hell. Might as well dive in head first.

Thanks for this little tid bit of information. Before I use it, I'll be testing it to make sure it has some charge in it.

If its has some charge the led in the power button will light up. You might have to click it 5 times real fast to turn it on.

From what I heard it does take longer to charge it via the computer. With my wall adapter it only takes about 2 hours to charge it from completly dead. But try not to let it go dead all the way if you can. I have a ego 650 mah battery that I use when Im charging my Spinner.

If you have s smartphone you can use that wall charger to charge your twist. My phone charger has a USB cable connected to a wall unit. All I have to do is disconnect the phone cable and plug my ecig cable into the wall unit! It would also be a good idea to order a second battery so you always have one charged!

I'm also really curious about the mini nova tanks.

Personally, I really like the Vivi Novas, I have 4 full size and 2 minis, and plan to buy more. It must be said that they do seem to mute the flavor a bit, but that is a price I think is worth paying for the conveince of it. I plan to re wick my heads myself to try and alleviate the muted flavor issue.

Enjoy your new rig!

I'm having a love/hate relationship right now with the T3. I love the bottom coil as it has no wicking issues for me whatsoever and it gives off a very clean draw. However because its a bottom coil its a very cool draw and I miss the warmness of a top coil setup so I use my vivi nova tanks more than the t3 at the moment.

With that being said I recently ordered some of the Smoktech shorty carto's and I am absolutely loving the vape from them, just don't like having to keep filling them as often because they are so small, but I guess it's really a positive as it control's how much I vape at a time, kind of like stopping once the analog was finished so to speak. Otherwise I would be chain vaping all day which I'm a certain is not good for me.

That's a real nice set up for begining or switching from the Bluecig. Carynjan has a good solution. If you don't own a smartphone charger of that type Tasty Vapor sells the wall charger itself for $3.00. They also have some pretty good juice. Every week they feature 4 flavors for $11 an ounce. If I could go back I would have skipped my overpriced starter kit and got a Twist or Spinner. I also used to enjoy the Vivi Nova but have recently gone on to loving the carto tanks. I feel like the offer better flavor.
