Hi my name is Mythus, and I'm a vapaholic. I've been vaping exclusively for a bit over 3 months now and thank goodness I found this thread....as is usual I felt I was all alone. Started with 2 ego-t starter kits quickly sold those and moved to a lavatube and a Provari...Now that I have my Provari I'm not too much into this tank and that mod (but have to say I purchased my first 2 Trippy Tips last week and plan on adding a few more to my collection) but I'm a juice hunter....thank God I work because that keeps me from hunting during the week (and the mailman safe) but "look out weekend cause here I come!" Always looking for the perfect juice! (my favs right now are BWB Malty Toffee and Waffle) Then I get on ECF and hear about Mrs. T and Highbrow (which I ordered from both this weekend, ouch)....oh sorry gotta go another jucie just showed itself over the horizon....

Welcome Mythus - you're in good company here! Congrats on the Provari, and good luck with your juice hunt!
Most of us love ECBlends - they have a ridiculous number of flavors and options, and make some pretty great juices that are easy on the budget, especially with code 10020. I know I have tried a wide variety of juices from a wide variety of vendors, and always find myself back at ECBlends & deejstuff :)

Now, that's funny!! You're just like the rest of us, ego-fan.. I have pretty red KGOs,, and this week I should be getting a nice metallic blue AND a pretty metallic green... there's always new bling out there..

Glen... good luck with the dripping,, I have no luck whatsoever with it.. I keep trying. Once in a great while I'll get a decent hit but it never lasts very long before I get that nasty metal taste... it's just not for me, I guess. I'm only a few months in too and boy, have I learned a lot here!! Even my recommendations for start-up kits has changed dramatically.. huge learning curve with this stuff.. but it's fun!!

You'll have to excuse me now.. I gotta go balance the checkbook and see how much damage I did to myself last night and this morning... NO MORE BUYING.. at least for a couple days!

I may have the same experience with you with the dripping, but it's on my list of things that I want to try in any case. If it works out, I'll probably just do it to sample new flavors when they show up in the mail, or at vape meets, once I get to one.

The meet is at AJs in Largo - details here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...5-suncoast-vapers-meet-saturday-apr-21st.html . I can help you with the dripping - come sit next to me - I'll be the curly haired girl with the pretty pink cane :D

Yes, you can vape it straight up, it will give you the cool throat hit, but zero flavor.

Thanks Cheeky! I'll see what I can do to get out that way next weekend. I might be heading up to Nobelton to visit some friends, but we'll see.

hey Glen - where is Nobelton? If you can make it, you'll find a big, boisterous group of vapers! Last month there were more than 20 of us, all vaping our heads off, tasting different juices & talking about our vaping. Or, in my case (first vape meet!), asking a billion questions about all of the mods and things I'd only seen online, but never in person!!!

Of course, that was the start of my spending spree - I only had a kGo and an Ego-T at the time, not a single mod to my name - now I have a maxi roughstack V2, a goldrush, a REO Grand, an red lavatube on it's way to me in the morning, and a black lavatube on a slow boat from china waiting to arrive at my door... (omg... seeing it in writing is a little scary - they've all been purchased since March 26th, and the Ego T was purchased the week before)

Once again.. My name is cheeky, and I'm a vapaholic....

Nobelton is a small township just north of Brooksville, about an hour north of where I'm located. My ex-wife (now my best friend) and her three daughters (from her marriage after ours) live up there, and those little girls are the love of my life. I try to get up there at least twice a month, and right now our son is in town staying there as well. I'm trying to get both of them to give up analogs and move to 100% vape, and it's looking fairly promising so far.

Aw Glen! That's wonderful - I'm guessing that they're all very happy and lucky to have you in their lives, and it's always great to hear stories about ex's who are best friends!
Have a wonderful time with your family - I hope you're able to convert all of the smokers you love to vaping :)
If you're able to make it to the meet we'd love to meet you, but the meet happens every month, so if not this coming weekend, then hopefully the next - and I'll still help you with dripping if you need it :smokie:

Evenin fellow vape-aholics!! Long day for me,, three hour ride to Vermont for an MRI,,, then a three hour ride home! Good to be home, in my jammies, checkin up on my peeps! GLEN.. I don't know what pv you're using but a guy in another thread just told me to get a Cisco LR 306 bridgeless atty to use on my KGO for testing juices.. he says they're the absolute best and easiest for that purpose. Hell, I'm gonna give it a shot, it's gotta be better than wasting carto's on icky juice!!

Soooo Cheeky.. I'm not catching up to you by any stretch,, but guess what I bought on the classys today (in the car, on my phone!) A LAVATUBE!!! I think I got a great deal.. tube, two batts, charger, bunch of juice (which I don't care about) and a bunch of carto's and tanks too!! Hundred bucks. 15 cartos, a tank, and 6 clearos... I think it's a good deal. So I guess I'm movin-on-up! Sure hope I can figure out how to use the darn thing! I may be asking for help!

I was wondering who got that awesome deal Luvinit!! CONGRATS!!!! WOOT!!! :thumbs:

I'm so happy for you! Let me know if you need help when you get it - My red LT should be arriving in the next day or two, and I think I've figured it out based on some research I've done :) (love that the one I bought from the classies yesterday will arrive a couple weeks earlier than the one I bought weeks ago that's coming in on a slow boat from China lol)

Now... I know you just bought the Lavatube, and are looking at 306 atties (I've heard great things, too!), but one more thing I can't recommend enough is a drip shield! I just got 2 of them last week, and they make a WORLD of difference with dripping - they take the mess right out of it!

Feel free to shoot me a PM, and if you want, I'll give you my # and walk you through it over the phone :)

Sweet dreams - I'm sure you'll be "luvinit" in no time (yes, I'm corny sometimes :D) Glad it was still there when you got out of your appt and that you were able to snap it up!

I'm currently using the Joyetech eGo-C batteries @ 3.3v and I'm enjoying a decent vaping experience on this format so far. I do like the form factor and I'll probably be getting the new eGo-C Twist (variable 3.2v to 4.8v) when it comes out next month. I was looking at the Cisco atties for potential dripping because both the original 306 and the HH.357 are getting great reviews, but I'm not sure they'll even work on the new Twist batter as the specs specifically say not to use on eGo style batteries. I'll need to do more research on that, and I may be forced to get yet another PV (OH NO!). :D

If I am "forced" to get another PV, I saw this one in another thread and it might be my next big purchase. It's so beautiful (in a manly way), and it just calls to me:
LG XL3 - Variable Voltage - Tasmanian Sassafras Burl

Glen, I'm not a guy and I love that burl vv...that is tempting. Looks like the wood comes in colors too...I hope they offer those!

I have to agree with Tina - that burl is beautiful and not just in a manly way! I have a huge girl crush on burled wood, and if I hadn't blown my vaping budget (I know everyone is shocked!), I'd been all over that! There's something very sexy about burled wood, and I've had my eye on a stabilized burl REO, but the shape of the LG XL3 is fantastic - it looks like it will fit perfectly and comfortably in the hand. :wub: *swoon* :wub:

I'll be happy to give you a dripping lesson whenever you make it to a meet! Maybe I'll get around to making a quick tutorial before that & post it here for you guys :) Seriously, look at a getting a drip tip - you can occasionally find them on the classies, but at 12.99/ea, they're well worth it - not only do they make dripping no muss, no fuss, no mess, they will also pay for themselves rather quickly in liquid saved from paper towels & napkins, as they hold the excess juice and feed them back into the atty. I think I've said it before, but I wish I'd found them earlier - I finally understand what the fuss regarding dripping is all about!

I know, right!?!? It's just so schweet looking, and will probably look even better with a Phiniac etched tank attached. I haven't decided on which one yet, but I'm leaning toward the guitar and music notes pattern:
Phiniac Glass

I am seriously geeking out on this stuff! But I still maintain that it's manly... :D

This is absolutely something I'll be looking into. I'm just getting the hang of the Stardusts on my eGo batteries, but dripping, VV, and tanks are on my list for sure!

Now glen, if we tell YOU to get away from the computer it would only be fair for US to do the same. Ummm. Not happening as far as I can see :). I'm on the hunt for the best deal on Cartos for my Lavatube. That I don't have yet. Good grief, I'm a HORRIBLE shopper. Cripes, if I can get something 3 cents cheaper somewhere else, I'll keep looking all damn day!! Oh yeah, that IS what I did all damn day. I just have to pick a vendor and be done with it. Seriously, saving a buck or two is not worth a whole stinkin day!!! What te hell us wrong with me? OH YEAH!! My name is luvinit and I'm a vapaholic!!
