njoy Pro the wife bought me about 2 years ago. Hardly ever used. SmartSmoke due to advertising, and then up to their Sigma model. Found this forum and realized they were way too pricey to make the switch completely. Volt X2 manual, iGo Revolver, then Echo and Volt X2 auto and now searching for a good cig-alike for work.

I'm an auto person, so the mods and VV are out of the picture at this time.

Started with V2 cigs April 25, 2012. Stuck completely with their batteries for the 1st 5 months but started getting my juice elsewhere about 6 weeks in. In Sept 2012 I bought a kgo vv. That got me hooked, lol. Next came an ego c twist, then the vv gripper. Next was a vamo and now I am waiting on a Smoktech Groove. I love new vape toys:)

3 or 4 years ago I got a 510 starter kit but didn't like the liquids that were all tobacco flavors. Still used it once in awhile for when I absolutely couldn't smoke.
This time around I got an eGo Twist>MVP and several different clearos, a DCT and a dripping atty. I do want to get something that I can change the batteries, as all these can't. There are several good deals right now and I can't decide.

week 1: Lotus disposables from my local tobacco shack (thank god they had 6 flavors), and Blu disposables (pricey)
week 2: Envy Nirvanna cig-a-like, and some Blu cartomizers (desperate days)
week 3: Johnson Creek Vea (ego type device, ahhh satisfaction)
week 4: An Ego-V battery and lots of cartos, tanks, clearos, etc
week 5: Attempting some DIY e-liquids, getting a fancy APV, and TRYING a beginner's RBA.

Started with a cheap cig type bat and cardos, a week later got a ego twist and 2 nova tanks then started in on cardo tanks. About 2 weeks after that I got a tesla and now an aga-t to go along with 6 cardo tanks and two vivi novas. I can say that the tesla is great and will fire at 1.2ohm and im thinking about getting a mechanical mod to go below 1ohm.

3 years ago, mall kiosk Cigotine (Warwick Mall). After a year into, started refilling my own carts with the 808 batts (didn't like the idea of going to a bigger system with a push button when taking a drag).

Read a ton of reviews on the Provari, purchased 6 months ago, and haven't looked back. Got comfortable with the push button and a different way of holding, as opposed to holding a cig, real fast...

Started a year ago the last week of February. First got an Ego-C and used it for a couple of months. Then got a Silver Bullet with a carto tank. Next went to a Provari with the carto tank. Sometime in the summer I got a DID and the real expense started then. Since then several hybrids and other genesis atomizers. I guess the good thing is my last cigarette was the last weekend of February 2012.

I started in October or November of 2012 with a standard 510, some prefilled cartos, and some blank standard Boges. A couple weeks later I tried a Nano Clearomizer, which I liked but ended up breaking. Next I stepped up to a 650 Ego and Kanger T3, which worked well for me as I was experimenting with different juices. I tried a couple 510 atomizers, one was terrible and the other worked alright. I bought another T3 and started rebuilding them, which was a great experience and I am glad I know what I know today. At some point I picked up a Vision Spinner, which continues to work well. Next up was a cheap knockoff RBA, which I've been tinkering with and it works pretty good now. I bought another Ego since my first one has issues with rebuilt coils, and along with it a Mega Cartomizer, which I got about 5 fills out of before I destroyed it.

Just yesterday I received my Kanger EVOD, which is excellent so far. All this time I have been trying several juices, rewicking atomizer heads, and building coils. It has been an awesome hobby and I have equipment that works well for me. I have discovered that I like cotton wicks a heck of a lot more than silica, and you need to be in the 6-8 Watt range to get an acceptable vape. I have been intending to try a Vivi Nova or DCT, but I have my T3's and EVOD working so well now that that thought has left my mind. Will a big mechanical mod be in my future? At this point I do not know. The journey continues.

My current favorite juice? Vermillion River KY4 12mg.
