~ Analogs for almost 30 years ~
~ An e-hookah cig-alike with no Nic just to see if I'd like the concept ~
~ Nasty gas station disposables ~
~ eon smoke rechargable cig-alike and pre filled carto's ~
~ Refilling used pre filled carto's on the eon with crappy tobacco shop ejuice ~
~ Upgraded to eGoK 1100 and ce4 on top but still with crappy tobacco shop ejuice ~
~ A Blow One ego style kit with a t2 on top (after I broke my ce4 and couldn't get a new top at the local tobacco shop because they only sell whole kits for their crappy ejuice!) ~
~ And finally my new best friend, my itaste v3 with a varied array of top and bottom feeding clearo tanks, a Phoenix V4 RDA, my own rebuilt coils with cotton wicks, AND my own yummy DIY juice (no more one note crappy tobacco shop juice for me!). I'm in my happy place...for now lol
Seems there's always something better out there doesn't it?

Ego 650-900 w/ CE4 -----2 weeks and the QUICKLY switched to evods.
Ego 650-900 w/ Evod
Ego Wide 1300 w/ T3S- Evod
MVP 2 w/ T3S- MT3S- PT clones- Evod- RC400...........All bottom coils in my stockpile minus a unused iclear30.
I use one of my 1300' for "on the go" paired w/ a 4ml bcc rc400 and the other for when I'm charging the mvp. I keep my last 650 around in case I need to go stealth.

Njoy king - eroll (still used daily)
- ego twist (gave to a friend) with iclear 16, evod, mini protank
- itaste vv/vw 3.0 (my backup device) with a multitude of bcc's, igo-l
- provari with ibtanked carto tank, rsst, and russian 91%
I'm happy to say I'm done experimenting for now, my daily drivers are the carto tank and russian on the provari, the igo-l for testing juices or when the flavor ADHD hits really bad, and the eroll for when I go stealth.

I liked pretty much every thing I tried (with the exception of cartridge/tank systems). Began with Safe Cig cig-a-like. Went to V2 then Volt and liked them too. Got romanced into trying a kGo (which is a KR808 version of the eGo) and loved it. Then Smokeless Image came out with the X2 passthroughs and I LOVED them! Used cartomizers with all of those. Then I started transitioning over to 510s for "more variety" and used the eGos, eGo PTs, and kGos with carto tanks. About a year after I started vaping I was experimenting with semi mechanicals like the Bolt and mechanicals like the LavaFire. Still on carto tanks. Moved to VV with the Gripper and eventually to VV/VW with assorted box mods and the SID. Eventually branched into bottom feeders (Vmod and Bogger Box) and used BF atomizers. Played around with RBAs on my VV/VW stuff. All that went on over around 2 years. Had fun.
But then, about 3 months ago, I went back to eGos and eGo passthroughs with carto tanks. Am still here. Happy, too. Still have my other stuff...but it's all currently in "reserve" mode.
EDIT: I did mess around with "clearomizers" for a couple of months. Wasn't for me. Almost forgot about that.

I started with a mall kit in July of 2010
Shortly after that I ordered a 510 kit.
I smoked and vaped for about 3 months before I finally quit smoking. (October 2010)
The next 3 and a half years:
I ordered an Ego. I dripped in regular attys on an ego for awhile.
I moved on to box mods.
I moved on to cartos.
I moved on to VV box mods.
I bought a provari.
I moved on to carto tanks.
I bought another provari.
I moved on to Vivi novas.
I bought a Zap.
I bought a DiD.
I bought an Electric Angel.
I bought another provari.
I bought another DID.
I moved on to kayfuns.
I bought another provari.
I bought a Roller.
I bought more kayfuns.

i tried some cigalikes and egos from friends and didn't like them. i saw and tried mechanical mods and rebuilding from my girlfriend's cousin who's a part owner of a shop and thought they were pretty awesome.
so my first device i bought was a nemesis clone and a kayfun lite clone.
i'm still using the nemesis and have a couple different drippers.

Started with Halo Triton ------> 2 weeks later a JoyeTech eVic with Kanger Mini PT2v2...
FAST! In first year I now have enough DIY, variety of batteries and delivery devices, snus and snuff to last at least 3 more years and then it's just the little stuff to restock ( except snus and nasal snuff is non gadget dependent )
Njoy rechargeable, Volt 78mm cig a likes, Volt X2's, Vision Spinners 1300, (all using plain old cartos), MVP 2 with an Iclear 30, Provari with an Iclear 30 (Occasionally Iclear 16's)
I started shopping on the internet and was lucky enough to find this forum
. Asked for advice on what would work well for someone with hand problems. I got the excellent recommendation of itaste vvs and a kanger unitank.
I'm still using the vv3s, and they work great for me. I'm still waffling about trying an MVP, but am a little worried about the weight. The longer battery life would be nice, though since the vv3s can be used as pass through and I don't get out and about much, that isn't essential. I may just get a third vv.
I messed up and put hot cinnamon juice into the unitank, but had already bought a protank (to put the cinnamon juice in.) I've now tried just about every kind of topper that does not require rebuilding (see hand problems above) and have decided that cartos are way too much trouble for me, and that I prefer bottom coil clearomizers. I seem to be settling mostly on mini protanks, even though they don't hold much.
Juice I'm still experimenting with. Kind of limited choices since I don't like sweet. I have one menthol tobacco that I like, and that, along with earl grey tea are my main favorites. I'm still trying out different tea flavors,and keep thinking that I ought to like fruit flavors, though it seems that I find them pleasant, but I never want to vape them for very long.

My path has been simple so far.
NJoy/Logic disposable cigalikes
White Cloud/Halo G6 rechargeable cigalikes w/ G6 mini tanks
Kanger Evod 650 mAh 3.7V regulated "eGo" batts and Evod clearos
- mini protanks and a uni mini.
REO and RM2
Reoville is a lovely place!
Juice has only been Halo and MBV so far. Started at 24 down to 12. Too scared to try 80/20 18mg Halo juice in my REO so pretty much only vaping 50/50 12mg MBV.
I've learned I'm bananas for banana flavors!

2-1/2 +or- PAD Camel Lights
Volcano Inferno starter kit W/ Tabac BCC tanks and 16mg juice
Lavatube 2.0
Vivi Nova- wasn't a good fit for me
Igo-L
Protank 2
Igo-W
KTS+ clone
Evod BCC's
itaste MVP Vv Vw
Kufun EH PRO
SMOK Magneto
Kick for the KTS+ clone
That's the general progression of what gear I picked up. I still use pretty much all of it depending on mood and situation. Like when traveling/flying I just pack the Inferno batteries and Tabac BCC tanks. If I am in the car it's usually the MVP with Protank 2's or the Kafun.
Nowadays I vape either 6, 9, or 12mg nic levels.

23 years smoking, started on Marlboro Lights and eventually progressed to 1.5-2 PAD
2 years ago, switched to American Spirit orange, yellow, and blue (depending on what I could find in my area)
4-5 years ago: got a V2 cig-alike kit (used only occasionally when I was stuck somewhere I couldn't smoke)
~3 months ago: Kanger e-Smart kit and clearos, V2 blank clearos, MigCigs 4.2v regulated cigalike batteries, VAMO v5, ProTank II, UniTank, various mini tanks, several eGo/EVOD batteries in various sizes, disposable atomizers + drip shields, Octopus RDA in my ongoing attempt to TRY ALL THE THINGS!!1! (after lurking and reading here for months and watching a bazillion YT videos, being wishy washy about even trying ecigs again)
This month: Stealth Provari in mini and full size (still waiting for the FS), Satin Silver Provari Mini, Hippo + Twins, numerous cartotanks...but the month isn't quite over yet

V2's, eGo's 1000mAh, Vision Spinners 1300mAh, iTaste 3vv 800mAh, MVP2 2600mAh, VTR, Provari, Vamo2. Through all those purchases I bought some pretty cool looking eGo 900's just to have. I went from cartridges to clearomizers to cartomizers. I still use bcc clearo's, iClear 30, iClear s, iClear b. Various cartotanks but my faves are the Ibtanked and the phiniac.
Saw a heavy-smoking friend suddenly stop smoking with an eGo-type battery and Evod tank so I went and bought a Spinner/ProTank setup and within a week I had stopped smoking cigarettes.
Got my inheritance and went on a buying spree...bought some ProVaris both new and used, a Reo, a bunch of toppers of all sorts and more juices than anyone could ever want.
I basically use the ProVaris - I mix and match them with beauty rings and extensions depending on my wardrobe or which batteries I want to use.
My current setup, however, sort of looks like a Frankenstein monster ProVari because I'm using the REALLY big batteries and I don't care if it matches.....lol Parts from all stuff jammed on to it.
