I tried n-joy cigalikes and was not happy. Then moved onto an ego then an iTaste MVP. Now I'm onto mech mods and I'm smoke free. The cigalikes were awful though. A waste of time and money.

I agree and disagree.

They suck.

But I'm sitting here looking at more money in vape gear then it cost to put a man on the moon.

If you had told me I'd have to spend this much I never would have started.

Cigalikes got many of us here.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

blu.JPG back in 2009. Took over a month to fulfill the order! Very short lived. Then on to V2's. Only lasted a few months, got sick of constantly buying new batts. Investigated vaping again last month..was amazed at the technology advances. Now using an istick and nautilus mini, mixing juice and completely off the analogs. Heaven!

Started with the original blus over 2 years ago. Never got off of analogs. When I truly quit analogs January 2015, it was with the blu Plus+. A month in, I realized that I was spending more on blu Plus+ tanks than I was spending on analogs. Got the Halo Triton and never looked back. I'm now using an iStick 50 with an assortment of different Kanger tanks including the Subtank and the Aspire Nautilus (although right now I'm pretty much using the Nautilus).

First was a disposable N-Joy cigalike. Worked good enough that I did some research and bought a Smokeless Image starter kit.

That lasted me about 2 - 3 weeks when I decided I needed longer battery time and more options in the juice delivery device. I did further research.

Got an AltSmoke Silver Bullet mechanical mod and an IBTanked cartotank. A couple of months later I got a Provarihttp://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/5569-13-why-provari.html regulated mod.

Three years later and I'm still using the Silver Bullet and the Provari, but have moved up to rebuildable atomizers.
 
+1 on the Blu... it was readily available at the time. Used it for about a month since 7-11 carried them, then realized the cartridges were ridiculously over priced and stopped by a shop on the way home. I used a Kamry k-100 with an Atlantis tank up until recently... I made the mistake of not doing full research before spending money... shame on me

Late 2011... My very first was an NJOY I picked up at the local Chevron station, and was intended to be only a trial to see if I could get through a day or two without smoking.

It worked. I finished the cartos it came with and moved on. My first "official" ecig was a Joytech eGO-C starter kit (black, 650mah).

I began with a Greensmoke e-cigarette starter kit. My Greensmoke batteries both failed simultaneously last fall. I contacted them and received atrocious customer service.

I decided to risk upgrading to a tank system and I've been quite happy with my Triton setup, and Halo's customer service, for several months now.

Mark 10 menthol cig-alike was my very first, only because I was back in my teeny tiny hometown for the weekend, and they don't have tanks or anything like that. I was lucky to find a cig-alike at the gas station. As soon as I was back in the city, I went to a vape store and bought a generic starter tank and battery. I've moved up through several setups since then, but I still refill the Mark 10 cartridges with bottled juice. I happen to be vaping on one right now. It's nice having something light in my hand, sometimes.

I still have my blu batteries. With the 510 connector, I can stick on a mini cartomizer and puff away. They're a pain to refill, but I use it mainly to try out flavors.
