What was your first progression?

[lozzaine]

So you started out with blank and then you started looking around at fancier set ups. What did you jump to after your initial setup?

I was given a setup with a Kangertech T3S tank and my boyfriend talked me into investing in an aspire nautilus. I didn't like it at first because it tasted weird but after an hour when the juice had fully absorbed into the wick, MAN OH MAN. Now I'm just terrified about dropping it haha.

I started with a basic 1100 Ego embossed battery with an Iclear 16, then went to a Smoktek Twist 1300 with a Kanger Protank 3 Mini and now I'm on to a Kamry 101 with a Trident Dripper. I am now currently waiting for my Stingray mod to come in !!

Started with an Ego C. kanger ts3 tank. First got an Aspire BDC tank, it's bigger was the main consideration. Then the real fun began. Got a Tesla, loved it, lasted 2 weeks and had issues with the pin. exchanged it for the SVD love it, but the button seemed a little hard to push, I have a bad case of arthritis in my hands and it would make them sore. So then I got my Vamo V3 The wife got one also. Love them. Then I won a contest and got an Innokin 134 full size, Innokin VTR, and the LVT. I love them all. I also have Hyper tanks, Iclear 30, Iclear 30s, and HH357 drippers. I am getting two Innoking Iclear XI tanks as soon as they get here.

Started w/Provari w/Aspire BDC (comparable in flavor and vape to a Natuilus). Then went to a mechanical mod with rebuildable Kayfun lite, and now just recently a Fogger V4. Ive never had a more satisfying vape in 5 years. There is just no comparison in terms of rebuildables when comparing them to tanks with ready to go prebuilt coils. Prebuilt coils are VERY inconsistent. One can be great, and the next one you buy may be worse than the old one you just used for 2 months.

If you think a nautilus is great, order yourself a Kayfun Lite Clone from ebay, and it will blow your mind. Fogger is much better in my opinion, but its harder to build, and is more geared toward direct lung hitting. Either way, rebuildables you just buy 10 bucks in gear you need (wire and cotton or other wick) and it will last you a year plus and every build will fire like a monster. Definitely the way to go.

I started with a Snoke One disposable cigarette. After a few weeks of buying One's I bought their rechargeable version and it was satisfying, but I went through several carts a day and this was becoming financially unpleasant. It also wasn't enough to break me free of cigarettes as the Snokes lacked any kind of satisfying throat hit. I also was getting frustrated at the very limited selection of flavors available on the Dutch market.

I started looking into clearomizers but I was indecisive on taking the plunge until I saw a two-pack deal (two clearo's two batteries, adapter, juice) on a Daily Deal website and snatched it up. I was under the impression that it would be a Joyetech clearomizer but it turned out to be a clone (in hindsight, they didn't advertise it as genuine so it was my own fault for assuming as much). Oh well, it vaped okay and going through juice instead of carto's was certainly cheaper. My biggest cons were that the draw on it was stiff, and that vapor production decreased to pitiful levels as the batteries drained.

After only a week of using it, I started looking into some better gear and eventually ended up with a Kanger protank Mini 3 and a Spinner II. The difference was ridiculous and I discovered the magic that is Variable Voltage vaping. This was also the kit that got me off the cigs for good, and I combined it with some excellent e-liquid right off the bat (thank you Virgin Vapor).

The Spinner II took seriously long to charge, so didn't take long for me to order a second one, along with an Aerotank that was part of the kit. That's what I'm vaping on these days. I'm not sure of my next upgrade yet, but I'm looking into the MVP2, Provari and VaporShark DNA30. I may also get into RBA's at some point since I really like fiddling with my Kanger coils already.

[DreamWithin]

Started with a Super Cigarette (rn4081 threaded, tiny little cartomizers), used that for a couple months while doing some research. Upgraded to the eGo-T when it first came out and that was the device that got me off cigs. I quickly moved on to bigger and better things and have been chasing the perfect vape ever since . . . every time I think I've found it, something new comes along

 

[Boiler]

I started with Greensmoke. I wanted the same convenience of just going to the store to get my vape instead of shopping for everything online. After a month my local store couldn't keep up and I was forced to get replacement cartridges online.

I figured, If I have to go online, there may be something better… which led me to ECF and to the eGo-Twist/Viva Nova set-up that was all the rage a year and some ago.

Since then, several e-cigarette shops have popped up locally and I now have the convenience factor I wanted at the beginning, as well as many of the better options you could only get online before.

 

[zoiDman]

I started with a DSE-103. Which was kinda the Fore-Runner to the RN4081

 

[Goldfinger41]

I started with gas station BLU e cig, dry sore throat, got smart and went to local B&M, got kanger stater kit with some terrible throat burning juice, than got smarter, bought some smooth as glass virgin vapors, mister E, Zues juice, 5 pawns, and I am hooked.

 

[SPBALLER]

Vision Spinner 1100 mah / protank II ---> Vaporshark DNA30 / Kayfun Lite v2.

I've now started to get into mechs (GP PAPS LUX v3) and am really enjoying it, but I still use the DNA30 daily as well.

 

[old_geezer]

I was a Flashlight nut and kept reading about E-Cig stuff when doing battery review searches on Google. Had been smoking 40 years. Started Madvapes kit with 900mah plain ego. Within a month I had about 6-8 twists, an MVP 2.0, and an SVD from FastTech & Ebay. Someone here told me to go Twisty type VV and EVOD and that was the world's best advice! I'm 3 months of no cigs (stopped cigs as soon as I started vaping). Current progression is I have a Fogger V4, but no mech mod. I can see that coming up. I was lucky, from my flashlight obsession I already knew about Ebay and Fasttech and Li-Ion batteries. Already had a 4 slot Nitecore i4 V2 and many other chargers. I gave away most of the twists and a ton of juice. Got my brother off a 39 year cig addiction. Now I have too much juice. Looking at about 800ML now. Going to freeze some tonight and buy my first mech mod. Already have Sony VTC5 and Fogger V4 but no mod...LOL

[Jugband]

I went from cigalikes, Preminum, V2 then Blu. Went up to Ego Battries with a Kanger T3, then switched to Vivi Novas. Then up to VV mod Lava Tube. Then VV/VW mods, VTR, SVD,MVP, Vamo V5. Then Provari with a Kayfun and Russian 91%. Then Reo with RM2.

 

[Feraloxide]

I started with an eversmoke rechargeable. It's actually not too bad. After that I got a mechanical mod with a disposable clearomizer, which was quickly replaced with a Kamry K1000 and an MVP 2. Somewhere after I bought an EVOD kit. After the nautilus I had broke, I started hunting for something new.

I purchased a Nemesis clone along with an IGO-M and a fancy driptip on fasttech. During the shipping I got extremely impatient and bought an IGO-W on the classifieds here. Hooked it onto my old mechanical and it worked great, I still plan to use it. My Nemesis just arrived today and with the .5 dual coil build I have in it, it hits harder than anything I've ever tried. Absolutely love it.

 

[Firestorm]

I started with V2 cigalikes and progressed to 808-threaded eGos with cartomizer tanks, an 808-threaded SmokTech Bolt with cartomizer tanks, a Provari with cartomizer tanks, a GP Paps with cartomizer tanks, and since then I've moved to various RBAs and an irresponsible number of different mechanical mods. I recently got a 30W box mod which is nice, but RBAs and mechanical mods are my passion.

 

[AndriaD]

I started with an eRoll, because I was totally attached to the idea of something shaped like a cigarette, but wanted to choose my own flavors, and be able to recharge. But I got sick of the tiny tank and constant recharge-shuffle, so then I got an iTaste vv3 and a kanger T3S... my very first hit on that 2nd setup, and I was like 'THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!'

I had the identical response when I finally got a kayfun lite plus clone. An order of magnitude better flavor.

[elee86]

1st PV - Caravela mech mod w/ Nimbus RDA -> SVD VV w/ KFL+ -> eGo battery w/ Protank 3 mini. with some more mech mods inbetween purchases.
I guess that would be regression? lol
Maybe it's why I stopped smoking analogs immediately.
