what was your first e cig when you got into vaping~?

[nick779]

my first was a joye 510 from 2009, and it was an utter POS.

after buying around $100 in parts and cart mods, and another $75 in juice, i parted it all out because it was a miserable experience so I quit vaping all together and smoking all together cold turkey.

im beginning to think I hated it because I had bought 36mg eliquid and it was just too damn harsh on the throat

now its 2013, I just purchased a volt kit, with 6mg to curb some cravings and take the edge off, and use 0mg when i just have that oral fixation. Couldnt be happier with how far vaping has gone

Mine was Blu too. Blech! Blagh... Bogus. Bullcrap. The way it tastes, it's gotta be more hazardous than a real cig.

My first was a ego style kit from a local B&M that I paid waaaaayyyy too much for. However it was the first step and I have not smoked a analog cig since Jan of this year so it was worth the money.

Djarum cloves (pack every week) to Marlboro Lights (1+ pack a day) to Vapor4Life (808 starter kit with 2 batts, 1 USB passthrough, bunch of prefilled carts) to Marlboro Lights (1+ pack a day) to Vamo v2 and iTaste SVD

At the time I picked up the V4L ecig kit (2010) it was a bit of a premium brand of ecigs (at least in the 808 world). I really liked their stuff and they did the job for 2-3 months but got laid off and IMMEDIATELY bought a pack and chain smoked half of them right away.

2 months ago started doing more research here (wow things changed quickly from 2010 to now) and purchased a Vamo, Protank, and some juice. Just got an Innokin SVD and a VVV cartotank to complement the Vamo and as a backup. Don't want one to fail and make me go back to analogs. The rest is history. No analogs since my Vamo.

I started off with the disposable ones just to see what they were about and if they worked,they looked like a cig.Bought 2 of em.Then ordered a 1100 ego, sumpin pass through ego and some tips.Now I am going to the recharged battery type and tanks.Can't wait to try it out.

Started with one of the many 808 clones. Sadly ordered from western USA, and couldn't wait for it to get here so found a local place that had some 510's with PCC. That lasted all of a month before I picked up an eGo-T Kit (650mah with those aweful punch hole tanks). (This was in early 2011).

Moved from the eGo 650 to a Redds kit (mini powerhouse for a cig-a-like/808, that I still recommend to people looking to convert).

Then picked up a couple 1000mah eGo Twist when they first hit the market and didn't look back (Lasted me over a year)

Have new toys on the way (as always)

Blu》ego 650 w/carts》egoT》ego w/ vivi nova and then I won an ecab. I switch off and on between the ecab and the ego w/ vivi nova....I wish I would have started with the ecab instead of the blue but i almost think having something as close in size (blu) to analogs was necessary.

My very first one was an Xline Bulldog from the local cigarette shop.
The second one I got was called SMARTCIGS from a local gas station.
After that I was HOOKED and started ordering from V2Cigs.
I still use those, plus I got hooked on juices with my Evods.

my first ecig was an optima i ordered from groupon. it was only $20 for a starter kit so i said why not...bad mistake! i started reading more about ecigs and how you can fill your own etc. with the optima you cant fill your own and you have to buy the premade carts for $40!!!( comes with 10) in one week i went threw all of my carts. $40 is the same price i pay for a carton of ciggies every week!. and honestly the flavors taste like crap. also the vapor production is crap. barely any smoke and no TH after the first few puffs of it being fully charged.

i started reading on this forum and decided to buy a halo g6 so i can refill my own and get better vapor production. i am still waiting on it (should come monday) but im sure it will be alot better and cheaper then this optimacig in the long run.

im already looking into the halo triton also. so far tho i have gone from a pack and a half a day smoker to only about 6 cigs a day!

 

[Elad500]

Like many...Joyetech ego-twist 1100 with a vivi nova tank. Surprisingly never owned a carto.

 

[Alyssasmama]

itaste MVP from a local vape shop...vapor craze in the LBC

 

[vicflo]

original Joye 510 automatic kit with passthru with 5m of cappuccino and ecopure. didnt really have that many options 4 years ago though.

I still have one of the batteries and it works perfectly fine. the other battery is somewhere on a beach. the atomizers not so much...

 

[Spencer312]

My first vape was a 1000 mah Ego-C twist with a mini Protank. Great Vape! :3

 

[Possum Kokopelli Jones]

i started with a ego k and used it for about 3 week and loved it

 

[Crazyinariz]

I started w/the V2. It was crappy but it worked to get me off of the Camels and into vaping. While vaping my V2 I started watching vape related youtube videos, got 'vapers envy' and upgraded to an Ego. Then an Ego Twist. Then a KGO VV. Then a Lavatube V2. Then a Vamo V2. Then another Vamo V2. That's where I am now. Tomorrow is both my 1 yr vapeaversary AND there's a Phx Vapers Social meet. I know there will be vendors there and I know I'll end up treating myself to a new mod to celebrate. I'll probably update this tomorrow with another 'Then a'... Hehe.

Ok, I went to the vape meet and while I didn't get a new mod I did pick up 2 DBox Puritanks.

 

[IntrovertGlass]

Blu's, then back to analogs for a bit lol

 

[bnrkwest]

My very first was Smartfixx and ePuffer, the tiny mini ecigs with atty and cartridges, way back there in time! ha ha bnrk

 

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

A cigalike with a box batt charger using a single atomizer, back in 2009. Very difficult back then. Welcome to the VapeWorld 2013, the "Modern Era." Everything is better, batts, cartos and clearos, and most importantly, juice strong enough to get you off smoking. This was way before there was any branding, and I'm not sure my gear even had a name...a China, no-name ecig. It was very cool, just didn't get me there all the way.

 

[Stuttz]

Tried a couple disposables, forgot the name. Back to analogs and NOW my awesome dad finally took my advice to quit and he got us both eGo upgrade batt and i dont know the tank brand but I LOVE IT and I got the black one so mine is cooler than my dads chrome one. Now to save for the KANGER PROTANK!!! and a bigger batt because i killed mine in like half a day, former chain smoker of analogs.. now i get an endless cig that i dont have to ash, so pro. I think ill quit for real this time!

 

[Jim Diamond]

Started with Blu, but it had no TH whatsoever (all VG). A friend then got me on one of the Ego-C kits with the plain single-voltage batts. It was so much better than the Blu. From there to Ego Twists, then Vision Spinners, then SLB ego-v V2, now the Vamo V2. I've come a long way baby.
