first setup - some blu knockoff - didnt last long. turned me off to ecigs
first liquid - black honey tobacco
first upgrade - VV V2 Mega ( I want more and a Provari now! )
first nonstarter kit attachment - Vivi Nova , iclear30
first time in public - at work
first liquid vendor - mt baker vapors
first ecig forum - ECF ( frequent redditor also )
first clearo destroyed - ( crosses fingers ) none yet.
 
My first attempt was with a disposable convenience store e-cig which caused me to walk away from vaping for a period of time s 'not for me' but I don't like to count that as my first since I tossed it before it ran out.

So my first 'real' setup:

Ego type starter kit (in a bubble pack) with a CE4 clearomizer and 'marlboro' flavored e-liquid

Is anyone else noticing a trend here? The convenience store/ cigalikes end up turning people OFF to vaping...
I'm only going back to small batteries now, but good 510 and 808d.... It's such a shame the. "Introductory" e cigs seem to be such garbage.... When I recommend a setup to someone thinking of going into vaping it's an ego mini and a mini vivi nova or an evod.... Simple, decent battery life, compact.... Might start recommending the sd mini cause its an auto and a pretty decent one... Just wish you could get them outside the kit

    First setup was an eGo-T, it was the "latest & greatest" at the time. Took about a month and three $15 eGo atomizers to decide that maybe it wasn't the latest & greatest after all. Got talked into trying a 510-T atomizer as an alternative to the eGo atomizer (at least it was only $6 bucks). After about a week, I had the wick plate out of the 510-T to clean it, and decided I would try that thing people called "dripping". "OH-MAN!! So this is what vaping is all about!" was my first thought then, and still is today. I have since tried about every atomizer, cartomizer, clearomizer, RBA you can think of, but that little LR 510-T atomizer (set up for dripping) is still my "sweet spot" two years later.

    First e-liquid was called "Red & White". Oh-man was it bad! Tasted just like siphoning a gas tank! I flavor hopped for a while before I found a 555 that I really liked, then a coffee flavor, then a lemon flavor, then a ............ :lol: Now I DiY for the most part.

    I've tried most of the APV's out there, and there are three that stand head and shoulders above the rest IMO, the Silver Bullet, the Provari, and the Reo.

    I ONLY vape in public where it won't be offensive to others. Doesn't matter if it's only offensive because of ignorance, it's still offensive to that person.

    Ps: my new recommendation is the mini vision spinner( 400 mah) with the evod.... Pretty much the same price, and if that person wants to try variable voltage, they just need to twist up from the standard 3.3 these type of batteries normally push. Still looking for the sd battery sans kit, and would love to see a mini auto with variable voltage( I think it's gonna be a long time coming for variable wattage in an ego type battery... But I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

    My very first device was a E cig I bought from the local head shop. Surprisingly it worked like a charm and was really cheap, but I was roped in by those over priced cig-alikes and way over paid.

    I then bought a ego twist, which I love.

    Just recently my husband ordered a vamo, loved it so much I ordered my own mod a s-Max which is out for delivery today!

    I also have my name on the list for an nes controller mod.
