Well, it has begun.. my brother started Vaping exclusively 3 days ago. I spoke with him yesterday and he said that other than the first day when he felt a wave of depression, he is no longer craving a cigarette. He's quite amazed, actually.. very much surprised. And, he's loving the emdccs. I know that we may hit a rough patch right around the 2 week mark, and I am not sure how I'm going to deal with that one--one day at a time--but for the moment, he's perfectly content. He says the e-liquid from Liberty is a tad harsh on the first draw (Menthol Tobacco), but otherwise he's enjoying the taste. I have to remember to not talk about other flavors. As a noob, ignorance is bliss, I think.

@Monkey.. The Peppermint, double flavor, 70/30 sounds really good. I'm going to wait to suggest that to him, however.. If he starts faltering, I may just send that to him along with some sample coffee-like, fruit, and sweet flavors.. and maybe some Bobas Bounty.. Gorilla Juice.. and, and.. lol!

One thing that concerns me is the price of the emdcc,s! He loves them, but has anyone noticed how much more expensive they have become??? I'm going to have to find another cartomizer setup that is just as good. So far, I know that the Boge 2.0 LR cartos are not as good, imho. The only thing that has come close to me is the 306 atomizers. But, he already said that he's not interested in atomizers... too much fiddling. He likes things to be simple. When I spoke with him, he actually had already pre-filled 6 out of the 10 emdccs.. Oiy..

Provari, hands down. Get the 18650 extension and don't look back. If you don't get a provari now you will waist more money on junk and then getting a provari anyway.

Just a suggestion,but take a look at the KGO 1100mAh kit at hoosierecig.com for $44.

i like vaping late night, out in the fresh air where everything is asleep and quiet. Opening a fresh carto, filling it with juice, and relaxing on the back porch.

we were/are new at one place at one time or another. I have posted MANY times in the wrong sections of various forums.
We all have to learn sometime

Thanks for your understanding, bamsbbq! I will catch on eventually.

Have you tried Winston from myfreedomsmokes.com?

I used to smoke kools about 10 years ago. And oddly enough, the e-liquid I'm using right this minute tastes just like kools (to me, at least). It's peppermint, but not like peppermint "candy" tasting, not sweet. I think it's great you're helping your brother!

Oh, so I was paddling down the street in my cannoe when I saw a one legged man licking an ice cream cone and I thought to myself, I wonder how many pancakes it takes to shingle an elephant.

I am a total moron. I don't understand this thread. Had bbq ribs today. Thursday was in the 80's, cold enough to snow tomorrow morning. Still can't wait for the mailman...

This might help:

You poor soul !!! It really does sound quite serious. Without my current vaping disorder the credit card companies would go bankrupt.
Was recently forced to purchase (for health reasons of course):
510 LR attys
306LR attys
Total of 80mls of Various Vaportalk liquids(apple dapple, midnight, macchiato and sweet dawn) -- They all work very well to keep the voices under control.
1 Inferno (ego type) batteries (passthrough capability)
DIY flavors (caramel, butterscotch and coffee espresso)
clearomizers (just needed to try)
ego elegance clearomizers

I'm pretty sure my budget is blown.....but my illness is under control for this month....Unfortunately, the new month is coming along very soon and the voices will return.

Welcome, fauxsmoker. Like the username, btw.

I love this group !!!

Yep. I use mega dual coil cartomizers, and they do drain batteries very fast. So, backups, backups, backups...

No offense taken and I'm sorry if it seems like I brought heat on you, that was not my intention. If there was no differnces in opinions we would have this forum. Like when you say that a voltage is outdated I totally disagree. 3.7 is the industry standard weather or not it is regulated, or varries slightly during use or the meter says 4 or 3.1 with a load or what ever. The electrovoperoligists say that kgo has a higher voltage output. The amperage is what really does the work and I don't know how they compare that way but by going up with voltage and amperage doesn't mean your going to get a better vape. There are more variables to punch in like what kind of atty/carto/dual coil that the battery is pushing.

I have tried 3 different large mah "3.7" batteries today to see if I could notice a difference. I'm not putting this in the review section because it was not an extensive comparison.

Joyetech eGo 1000mAh

SLB kgo 1100mAh

Mark's mod 14500 900mAh

I tried all back to back and back again with a Lr306 drip atty. No noticable difference
I tried kgo and eGo with ego c tank setup. No noticable difference
I tried kgo and eGo with kgo atty. No noticable difference
I tried kgo and eGo with elegance clearomiser No noticable difference

I liked the lr 306 the best. The elegance clearomiser in not lr but works good and even better at 5 volts(different mod)
The one way the kgo beats the eGo is the price but that's only if it can stand the test of time. My eGo already has.

This is exactly what I have in a matted silver.

I would absolutely love a Mini, though... Can't really take my ProVari out in public.. especially not with an emdcc attached. It looks, at the very least.. lethal. Ha.

Ok, sorry.. I definitely have the second version.

Sorry Blu...I was only trying say we all have our opinions...and I personally think its ok to voice any and all opinions (within reason.. )
Currently, There are better products than the standard ego....the technology is changing sooooo fast.

I know we have a lot of pro ego on this site(me included)...but if nobody brings anything new to the table, then I won't be able to spend all my money, then the credit card company would collapse !!!

Yeah. Not a good thing when the "glass cover" wants to communicate while you're vaping. Ha! I think I must have the older version, then. I have to put my provari on time-out sometimes.

You know, I've had my provari for almost 3 months, now... and I still don't know which kind it is. It could be the old version since it doesn't say anything but ProVari.. how can you tell?

I would absolutely Love to get a Mini, as well.. but like Christopher, I just can't justify it. But I can drool! Ha.

@7sons.. I've gotten that error, as well.. From what I can tell, my Provari doesn't like very low resistance, but to be honest, it could just be operator error on my part. With low resistance, however, I just have to lower the voltage... haven't had any problems with the threading, however.. If that continues with that particular atomizer and you've replaced them.. you may want to call them and ask.. That shouldn't be happening, I don't think. I know that, sometimes, my Provari doesn't like my emdccs.. but, I just chalked that up to an emdcc problem. Hmmmm..

Agree with Bob as well. However, this person is asking for help in a purchase already made....be it subject to scrutiny or no. Cartos are not perfect, atties are hit and miss, as are Ego C atties and tanks.

Point being....I've had cartos fail, atties junk, and all manner of things go wrong in QC and production. In this case....it could be a vapor person not hitting the device correctly. I figure it's a final attempt to assist without throwing away the purchased product. Your suggestion for future purchase are valid and most agreed upon.

I hate to see someone in distress with current vape equipment purchased. It could be we need to help a fellow vapor in not throwing money down the drain. It's most discouraging, and if we can get him/her though this impass and on to better things afterword? Gotta try?

i don't know that bob was bashing the eGo, maybe "pathetic" wasn't the right word to use, i think he just more meant "anemic", which is true. the eGo's voltage is too low for what it is.

2 years ago when there was nothing else available i can understand how it was a go to device. but now? the market has changed, the kGo fires at close to 4v, the LEO Pro fires at close to 4v UNDER LOAD, the Riva SE is a regulated 3.7v. all those batteries can be had for either the same price of an eGo or a few dollars more.

the eGo probably does provide a fine vape with a lr carto/atty, but the kGo, Pro, or Riva is just simply a better vape FOR MOST PEOPLE. again, not saying there's anything wrong with the eGo, a lot of people probably really like the vape and maybe even actually PREFER it. and that's great, not bashing that at all, but when even a tiny little 808 battery can kick out a higher voltage i just think that maybe Joye needs to start to re-think their batterie's performance.

I can understand some concerns because long term tests (10-20yrs) can't posiblly be done or even started yet. But I agree that our own personal findings and beliefs should out-weigh what others have no experience in(MYOB). I am another person who quit quitting until stumbling into vaping. I'm another 27 year smoker who could be dead right now from suicide because of Chantix, which BTW doesn't work. Another 2 year example of how vapor has had no ill effects and too many positives to list. To the FDA and/or whoever else that have concerns: Thanks for looking over my shoulder and keeping an eye out for potentionally hazardous things but until you walk 27 miles uphill in my shoes and 2 miles back down you're opinions mean very little to me.

I'm working on my one year vapeversary. I know that my health has improved. I never expected that this journey would take me as far as it has. We have an amazing community of vapers! One of the hardest things about giving up the tobacco was the fact that i would no longer be able to hang out with my smoking buddies. Smoking was a social event for me and trying to quit while being around it i would always find that it was too hard to say no to having a smoke. I didn't like the feeling that was missing something, even if that was 4000+ chemicals. Vaping allows me to still be able to participate in that social aspects of going out on break for a smoke without having to give up all my friends.
Follow the money and you'll see why the "digital smokers" are now public enemy #1. Drug companies, tobacco companies, government. E cigs are f*cking with that revenue and they are going to fight to the death to recap those losses. Health? Well, that comes second.
I am proud to say that i am a non-smoker. I am proud that i was brave enough to take that leap of faith, take a hit to my wallet and leave big tobacco in the ashtray where it belongs. As a smoker i had nothing to lose by trying out the ecig (other than my 99 bux), as a vaper i risk losing my health to uneducated bs FDA public policy. I hope that i never pick up another cigarette as long as i live.
