rDNA40 + Nautilus Mini + MBV Caramel Coffee 18mg.

The rDNA proved to be vastly oversized (I use it at just 8W) but when chosing the mod II was afraid that I wouldn't get enough vapor (my previous experience was with convenience store disposable e-cigs, they were slightly better than sucking a pencil).

The juice clogs coils like there's no tommorrow, but I haven't found any better yet to my taste. I'm open to suggestions (a good caramel that doesn't gunk coils).
 
I started with some no-name cigalike, not realizing that it didn't even have nicotine in the juice. Smoke cigarettes almost immediately. Then I bought an itaste vv/vw 3 kit and thought, wow, this is great! Haven't smoked a cig since. Can't stand the iclear16 tanks anymore. I started buying different equipment (way too much!) and getting into rebuilding. My current favourite setup is my provari3 with a kayfun lite v2 or a tobeco big dripper on it.

Started on Safecig cigalikes back in 2010 or so, got down to 2-4 analogs a day for a couple months and failed. Next it was the Ego's and cardo's and cardo tanks and got down to 2-4 analogs a day, failed after about 2 to 3 months, came back and tried again on a protank on the ego vv's then protank II and a mvp2 failed failed failed. And it was a struggle to use them. The old boge cardo's worked really well, but couldnt find a juice i liked.

Now ive got an Atlantis CFmod combo and a Subtank/sigelei 100w combo, completely off analogs for a week now and im not struggling. Time will tell. But the effortless performance and convenience is finally to a point for me where I'm not longing for an analog.

The biggest difference I think is the quality of eliquid available now. When I was try'n the protank and boge stuff, I went through I dont even remember how many vendors I went through and it was all crap. Now ive gotten juice from 5 different vendors 20 different flavors, and I've only not liked 1 flavor out of maybe 10 ive tried so far. And that 1 flavor was not bad, just way way to sweet for me.

I just started on a Inferno (ego equivalent) with a disposable drip atty. A bottle of 30ml juice would last me about close to 2 weeks and the atty would be replaced every week. Its been really cheap and effective until I got a variable voltage device and a mech mod.

Now its like a hobby and since those things chuck vapor im going through juice like crazy. So im back to paying about 60 bucks a month mostly just for juice, kind of straying from my original goal for what I was trying to do with ecigs, which was to save money for the most part. But It still beats smoking tobacco all day imo.

i was on and off vaping for a couple months when i started with a ecom-c
then i got myself a kayfun and 4nine mod, great little setup for on the go
took the 4nine with me to Tibet awhile back and i guess it must've been the high altitude(?) it leaked continuously so i had to smoke analogs while i was there and to top it all off the friendly staff at the airport confiscated my mod/kayfun/juice when i was getting my flight back :mad:
anyways, since i got back, upgraded to a provari mini and KLP and have never looked back:vapor:

started off with strong desire to quit smoking analogs! i quit october 25.2014.

bought a disposable tank ego at the gas station the night i decided to quit. vaped it with a banana flavor and instantly knew i was never going back. taste and smell came back with a vengeance. my car smelled like it was on fire from the cig smell left in it. that smell you never will smell until you quit. it reeks! now i dont need air fresheners because you can smell whatever ive been vaping if anything.

vaped on that setup for a couple of days and discovered the rabbit hole. found myself running out to get a vv battery and a kanger protank 2. wascally wabbit! by 2 weeks i was a vapaholic. now using a vamov5 X nautilus mini. after my istick arrives this week in my mailbox im shooting the rabbit. cigarettes who?!

Aspire VV battery with iclear 16d. That was a week ago. Went back to the shop and picked up two genitanks and a mini Nautilus.

My dad got me a gift card for our local shop, so I'll be picking up an MVP 20w and an RBA or RTA and supplies.

From the first but of sampling in the shop, I knew that the smoke I had right before I walked in was going to be my last. No desire to go back to analogs.
