    Good idea Tazer. Started out on an EGO using carts (omg what a hassle). Got all wrapped up in the messy mess with modding carts (they never worked for me, blue foam, tea bags, you name it, just made a mess), and I think anger forced me into dripping (OMG). Dripped for quite some time, and briefly delved into the EGO-T, but soon enough I realized that it changed the flavor far too much for me, and seemed to produce a harsh vape, so back to the dripping. Got used to sucking it up buying LR atty's for about $10.00 a pop, and tried to make them last (cleaning sometime worked), but still OFF the analogs for 1.5 years. Always searching, reading, watching YouTube reviews, and got totally hooked on Phil Busardo's reviews and style. I swore I would NEVER assemble some massive system that would never fit in a pocket, I mean why, just drip on my EGO, why change ?? Finally the subliminal purchase suggestions contained in Phil's reviews (hehe), broke down and got a Provari (wow), and a simple J-Tank with Boge cartos. Far superior to the EGO-T but am still having some problems getting the cartos to vape like dripping. As if THAT wasn't enough, I couldn't take the peer pressure anymore and have a new Phiniac tank with SS caps coming with a few boxes of cartos and a punch. :O Seems like the more I vape (I vape a lot), the more I SEARCH about vaping stuff. Now I'm obsessed on the Z-Atty Pro by Zen, which is a top of the line, NASA grade engineered, rebuildable atty which uses a tank system. He has not relased the Z-Atty Pro (for the Provari) yet, but when he does....................................

    I think the one thing I would have wished to have known going into vaping (no mentors at all, pain and suffering the whole way), would have been to skip a lot of the POOR stuff out there. This is not a digg on carts, or EGO-T's but they just didn't work for me, and I blew a lot of cash, wasted juice, and hassle on them. I couldn't say that EVERY new vaper should buy a box full of top of the line equipment, but man, the savings in $$$ and hassle up front would have been worth it. Ahhhh hindsight...... it's always 20/20......

    Started 3 months ago with ProSmoke minis - quit smoking the same day the ProSmokes arrived in the mail. Used them for about 10 weeks and what a pain in the ... they turned out to be. I burned up 10 attys , at $13.00 a pop, cartridges that were supposed to be the equivalent of a pack of analogs lasted about 2 hours, those were about $2.00 each. I was spending more on the cartridges than I was spending on analogs. Started buying juice, much better! Charging the batteries every 1 1/2 hour OMG, NIGHTMARE! Finally found ECF and a bunch of great people with a whole lot of experience. Got my first real PV last Monday, eGo Twists with Mega XL DC Cartos. WOW, what a difference. Ordered a etched eGo C kit with a bunch of clearos from Vaporgirl on Thursday, should be getting them tomorrow or Tuesday. Now I'm looking at a VMax V2 or something like it just for sitting at home and vaping my ... off!

    I started vaping 23 days ago. I have a little RoughStack that I bought from Mad Vapes and I absolutely love it because it fits perfectly in my hand. I also have mini LavaTube...I got lots of advice on ECF when I started a thread about the trouble I was having with burning cartos/tanks, I got the right cartos for it, it works great and I love it too!
