Started with the Blu before I found this forum! Terrible choice.

Moved to the Joye eGo, played with batteries, 750, 900, 1000 basically the difference between Riva and the others, found 750 and 900 to be my favorite.

Moved to USB passthru for my computer time, moved to the Ali' fell in love with it.

I've had issues with the VV regulator for months now, no real fix in sight, just got it back a few days ago, not sure if my charger is screwy or if it's a problem with the Ali'.

Just ordered another charger, hopefully that will fix my issue. I've found that I like about 4.5 volts on a standard 510 atty, and I love bottom feeders just because it's a grab and go thing. Carry an extra set of bats in my case and I'm good for all day.

I started with the Blu before I found this forum. I became dissatisfied after about a month, but the Blu was good enough to make me realize e-cigarettes would work in quitting analogs.

I ordered the Riva 510 with carts and blue foam, but after awhile, the carts were a messy hassle, so I started dripping. A couple of months ago, I ordered a Reo Mini, which I really like and is especially useful when it's difficult to drip. However, I still drip with my Rivas on a daily basis.

Today, my Buzz Pro came and presently my batteries are charging. I still plan to continue using my Reo Mini and my Rivas, since I like vaping more than one flavor at a time.

Ok wanted to make sure I could post before I wrote a bunch, lol. I felt really lucky when I heard there was a green smoke store about 30 min from where I live, so that is what I started with. I really liked it and it got me off analog cigs so I can't down them too much. How ever I didn't like how short the batteries lasted and I soon found out that the carts didn't last near as long as they said they did! Plus a week after I made my $150 investment they dropped their strawberry and their green apple flavor. So I bought a tornado tank 3.7v 510 connection. I was so excited the day it showed up and that faded very fast as well. Love that the battery lasts longer but the juice had no flavor and was almost cold

Not sure what happened there with my post. I guess I will chalk it up to being a newbie? Anyway after finding another store, Kokomo pure vapors, I have been fiddling around with different kinds of carts. I have decided I need a vv mod to get the kind of warm vape I am looking for so I am saving for a vv box mod. In the mean time I am using ce2 carts on my tank battery. I don't like that they leak and the vape isn't perfect yet, but I am still off analogs, so I guess I will just keep fiddling till I find my happy vape place.

I thank my lucky stars that I found ECF before I made any investment in hardware or e-liquids.

Thanks to advice here, entirely avoided those mall monstrosities and gas-station "starter" devices. Instead, I ordered a $40.00 650 mAh starter kit from Liberty Flights and bought a bunch of their e-liquids. (It's the backup in the car now.) Since then I've moved on to echo-e cartos on 900-1100 mAh batteries, plus a single Reo Grande. I've been a very happy camper since then!

Started with a Bonnaire eCig kit from a local smoke shop. After a week and a half and a fried battery, I went with the Sparkplug SP3. Now I have two SP3s and two eGo-Ts. Not a pretty as a Provari, GGTS, or a SB but they work for me. In fact, I took one of my SP3s to a local vape store...many of the folks that were there commented several times about the serious amounts of vapor I get from that little gadget.

Christmas-time is likely gonna be Provari time for me!!

Hello All,

First post on the forums even though I've been ghosting for quite some time now. Switched over from analogues since May of this year and so far loving it. After reading a lot of posts here and with some great advice from the lovely Vicki at cignot.com, I went with a 510 kit from cignot which came with 2x manual batteries, 2x atomizers, and charger. This was a great start but pretty soon I wanted more and again after consulting these forums and more emails to vicki I settled on the Ego-T "B" tank setup with the extended life batteres (1000mAh) and haven't looked back. I love my Ego-T and use it constantly. True it does require more attention than the 510 but the rewards are much better. I find you get a lot more flavour and an overall more satisfying vaping experience than with the 510 where my major problem was the battery life.

One of the bonus points of the Ego-T system is that the batteries will still fit the 510 atty and cartos. I occasionally use a 510 atty for dripping. I have also used an ego-t cartomizer, for the simplicity and ease of use that it affords, and also the xl clearomizers from TW. I find it's nice to switch up once in a while and I like to try new flavours in the different atty setups. However I do like my ego-t tank system and really enjoy it after a proper cleaning, which I do about once a week (usually longer, I find I use it til the flavour goes off).

I started with a V4L kit and a few extras seven months ago and now use far more reliable, all mechanical, big battery mods such as the GGTB or Atmos Coppers most of the time. One of my 4 V4L batteries still works and I take it out in situations where a battery is more likely to be lost or stolen so if I lose it, it's no big deal.

I started (about 2 weeks ago) with the 808 elite (KR-808D-1) which is a nice unit but I soon found out that refiling/cleaning cartos is not my favorite thing to do so I started looking into bottom feeding mods and came across the Vmod, did a lot of reading on that little thing and decided that I will be getting it in a couple of weeks. Battery will last all day and there is a 5mL juice bottle inside, no hassle not fuss. the unit is so small that you can hide it in your fist, plus its half the cost of the REO mini!
