Have you tried using any Cartomizers yet? I mean using ones that you fill yourself. I have gone to the Boge (which I sell on my site) and have really enjoyed the flavor difference now. I have gotten myself hooked on DIY and also found that everyone that I get started on it, is just as enthused about it. It makes a difference when you control your own flavoring and nic levels. I have actually gotten myself down to 0-8mg nic levels by doing my own flavors and no problems at all.

The cool thing about the ego kits is the versatility. You can drip with them, use the carto's or tanks. I also seen how some are starting to mod them. I have not tried any of the boosters they are now sellign for them, but I did finally get myself a few variable voltage mods and really loving them. I still carry my ego battery with a LR carto, but the difference is in the flavor production for me.

Yes, I occasionally try cartos, and I REALLY REALLY prefer the "b" ego-t tank. I've got an ego mega dc and 3 smoktech 1.5 lr dc clear cartos on the desk right now as a matter of fact...sitting idle. My 'b' tank has better VTF, and doesn't snap/crackle/pop, which I cannot stand. Its a chalkboard scratching thing to me, especially when the pop happens as I'm inhaling.

When I want to try something new, or change up, I drip, using a standard 510 atty, but for normal vaping I'm still loving the ego-t "b" LR tank system. I HAVE purchased some kgo 1100mah bats which give me a slightly warmer vape than the standard ego bats. (4.0 volt on the kgo vs. 3.4'ish volts on the egos).

I started with the elusion brand which were very average and expensive. Quickly moved to kr808 batteries and cartos after getting some good advice on this forum. I'm more than happy with them and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon (although the Elite 808 looks tempting). Recharging batteries doesn't worry me at this stage. Now that I'm organised and know what I need to get me through a vaping day, it's all very easy and enjoyable. I love trying different juices.

A not to useful 502 type given to me 3 years back, I didn't use it long. Last year I picked up an eGo cartridge type, I didn't like the cartridge too well. Switched to a eGo-T and things improved. Last month I bought eGo Twist and Clearomizers, big shift. Now I got clearos and Trueman Super eGo vv, nice. Maybe next month I will go for a vv battery unit.

Only been doing this for 3 weeks now but I started with an E-Cab, then visited a local vapor store and the wife and I walked out with Ego Twist and Mini Vivi Nova's... :) All is good.

It would be cool to have a store nearby. I started with an eGo C type B starter kit, which was a mistake. I have used the actual eGo C parts exactly 1 time. Ordering the Stardusts with the kit was the only smart thing I did. Common mistake, though, I learned. I bought some Twists shortly thereafter, and some Vivis, and then a YJ lavatube. Currently, my go-tos are a kicked telescope and a vmod XL. I love the Vivis still, and have a couple single coil tanks as well. It's been a fun 2 months!

Started with a super-mini RN4078 I think it was . a bit like the skycig things now. moved on to a 901 then a penstyle 801..when i started that's all the choice you had so tried 'em all lol.

Bought one of the first screwdrivers when trog started to do them , still have that.

These days I use mainly standard 650mah batts on kanger bottom coil carto's , suits my mobile job , pocketable and good run-times.

At home I use a lavatube and dct tank or the mini ego vv passthrough.

Started with a vapestick extra - the cartridges were rubbish - barely lasting an hour and I got sick of spending the day worried about battery management. Moved onto various ego variants, cartos and clearos. Also bought a Totally Wicked Odyssey because it looked nice - the cartos flood like crazy, although when it works properly it's not a bad vape - they definitely need to do more work on the tank/ carto area though and it's for that reason that I cannot recommend it.

I finally realised that I didn't want to be a slave to the carto companies any longer so splashed out on a mod and repairable - a SS GGTS and an Odyssey. An 18650 battery is good for all day vaping and I'm still on my first mesh wick 10 days after making it. Vapes like a dream and is heirloom quality.

I started with the nJoy kit from a local gas station, I think it was like $20 for the battery and $19 for 5 refills. I put that down and went back to smoking. I tried again with the eGo 900 MAH, eGo 900 MAH Twist and Stardust clearos. My current set up is a Pro Vari V2 and a DCT tank system, but thinking of adding a rebuildable Tank Mod, after doing some research.

Started with Mistic menthol kits from wally world, still using it when I go out. Batteries still hold up great for all the months of use they have had, and their carts too - I have refilled them many many times, cleaned them when needed and they just keep performing great or if burnt I take out the filler, refill with a small amount of clean filler add a drip tip to try out new juices by dripping. Now I have an assortment of larger batteries - ego t, VV twist and and tanks, clearomizers and still trying out other toys:)
