Well it's taken me 6 months to join ECF and I'm not a member of any other vaping forum. How long did it take you? It's amazing how much I've learnt about these products on my journey. I've made some mamouth mistakes and spent a fortune! Watched hundreds of youtube videos to try and find something that suits me. Thing is, I can't seem to get settled/comfortable and seem to be spending endless amounts of cash on new devices.. is this normal?? I started things off quite well and bought a Tornado until a mate spotted a GreenSmoke... once mine arrived I wanted to wipe them off the face of the Planet! I couldn't believe I spent so much money on something which had me gasping for air as a result of drawing on the cart so hard it made my face go blue. I also found my lips burning as the cart heated to a temperature hotter than the sun! Since then I've had a 510 (good), VIP (okay), M602C (surprising), XPower (Awful), GreenCig (Poor), PigCig (Average), LittleGem (Cheap), Tornado T (Best of the bunch)... not to mention the accessories.... will this journey ever end!? I'm now looking at a combination of a Prodigy 3.1, HVA and Super T Vapemate - any advice is welcome

Trust me, I've been through the same process. From your list, I can tell you that you have definitely gotten some duds there. You can get all the advice here you could ever dream of to help you on your way. Keep in mind that different ecigs suit different people better, so you really just have to find the one that's right for you. Some people get lucky and get it on the first try, most don't.

Before you make another purchase I would ask about it on here and many people can probably give you all the pros/cons of said device.

Don't give up!!! It took me almost two years to find an ecig that worked for me, and once you find it: HEAVEN :)

I to found myself in this boat of going through equipment, put I have found the perfect pv, being a Provari (long wait time, but definitely worth it) paired up with Ikenvape 510 gold drip-tip v2 carto when using my favorite juice. Or with a Ikenvape hv 306, when testing other juices. Nothing like being able to adjust your settings for every juice.

You have been vaping for longer than I, so can't really advise if the urge to keep trying new stuph goes away.

As long as the items purchased will be used in the future, or serve a purpose now (my greensmokes, which i agree are superbly average, live in the car in case I am ever out and find myself witout a real PV), then it is simply stocking up for later use. The rationalisation works for me. ;)

Like any newish product segment, the early years are going to have some hit-n-miss products; we're also going to get to see some awesome advancements. And in the long run it will work out a lot cheaper and healthier than analogs.

For now I am hoping the Darwin (winging its way to me as we type) is going to be take this to a whole new level. At least until the next big thing...

One member said that they set up an automatic transfer at their bank; the amount of money that they used to spend on cigarettes gets automatically transfered to a special savings/checking account once a month. This savings account then becomes their vaping budget.

I thought it was genius! I get so confused sometimes what with ordering from multiple vendors at random times, it can get hard to track the spending. This way you'd at least know that you are not spending more than you did when you smoked, and if you end up with surplus at the end of a year then you can get a big flat panel tv or something.
