Everything I ordered to be done with this mall garbage I bought has been shipped, my wife and I are excited to see what the real PVs do!

2 starter kits with eGo T 1000 mah and chargers equipped with Ce4 Clearos and all charging accessories
Ego cases for the wife and I
CE4 clearos (12)
T2 clearos (2)
Vision V2 clearos (12) want to see which we like better for disposables
20 assorted flavors from Sweet-Vapes and Vape Dudes, mostly VapeDudes
2 Vision Spinners 1300 mah each with 420ma chargers (I assume the wall adapter with the eGo T kit will work for these too)


I have found VapeDudes, Sweet-Vapes, and Sun Vapes all to be great at answering questions and filling orders quickly. Not everyone carries everything I need but between the 3 they had everything and seem to be reputable companies fwiw.

Any advice on anything else is welcome and appreciated. Thanks to everyone here that has and I am sure will help lol. This is a whole "thing" to learn. I am one that absorbs myself into something until I know everything there is to know about it. Been driving the wife a little nuts but once she hits her new PVs I have a feeling she will be happy I took the time to research and ask questions.

Hmmm, I recently (4 weeks ago) switched from a pack-a-day Marlboro Reds to vaping. From the beginning, I found that I could go an hour or more without vaping (I use 24% during the day, 18% from 8p to 6am). The cravings between vaping were not nearly as strong as those I used to have between cigarettes, and now I find myself going 3 to 4 hours without even thinking about vaping, which would never in a million years have happened with the Marlboros. So I think the cigarette companies put additives in their product to make them more addictive, because I'm finding that my body's craving for pure nicotine and the act of smoking is just not that strong. Just a thought. Also, I love feeling like I can breathe again; taste again; not smelling like an ashtray; being able to vape in places where analog smoking is prohibited; knowing I'm not putting thousands of carcinogens & tar into my body; saving money; not having my house look or smell like cigarettes (as much) anymore. I've almost convinced my husband to give up his cigarettes (he's agreed to try vaping at home & just do the analogs at work for now). I just need to find him "an acceptable tobacco-flavored juice" as he puts it.

I vape, therefore, I am. Thank you.

(I really do know how to spell "praises"...apparently the memo got lost between my brain and my fingers!)

This afternoon, I had a meeting with a new co-worker to go over an explanation of what her work duties are going to be, etc. 30 minutes into it, she just happened to mention that she and her husband both smoke and need to quit but have tried many times and failed. What a perfect setup!! I grabbed my e-cig from the side of my desk and started telling her all about it.

She was very interested, asked a lot of questions and was anxious to get home to tell her husband. I think what really sold her was when I showed her the 4 drawers of e-juices I have! I gave her a business card for a nearby e-cig store that I go to a lot. I think I'll find a way to bring it up to her again when she starts working here.

Funny thing too, I knew she smoked the second she walked in, there might as well have been a cloud around her as strong as the smoke smell was. I just can not believe I used to smell like that!! The smell even lingered in the chair she sat it, I smelled it over an hour later!!

Thank you all for such support and encouragement. I not only took to it, but loving every minute of it. Now I have my own gear that is my style, my favorite juices, etc.. So I have been at vaping for about a month and a half now, but boy did I research. lol

Loving It!!!

At least if I vape for 20 more year, I don't have to regret it like I did with Smoking. So much happier!

Glad to see you found The Vapor Girl, I was going to suggest that site. I love her selection of "girly" eGos. I've gotten an engraved one, a disco ball, a multi-colored paisley, and am waiting on a blue and black bowler. There's at least 4 others that I like too! lol

The benefit of using VW over VV is you can set it and forget it.

In variable voltage if you have a 2.2 ohm carto, you have to set the voltage to where you like it. Then, say you put a 2.8 ohm Vivi Nova on, you have to adjust the voltage to get that same vape experience.

Variable Wattage lets you find the wattage setting you like, then when you put a different device on it, it will automatically adjust the voltage to provide the same vape experience. So whether you have a 2.2ohm carto, a 2.8 vivi nova, a 3.0 carto, or a 1.5 dual coil, the vape experience will be relatively the same.

In short:
Variable voltage: adjust voltage everytime you chance your atty
Variable wattage: set it and forget it

Thanks, you guys!

It sure was! Probably the most well thought out survey I've done. I had to find an online converter real quick for the height and weight questions!

While they are owned by a Big Tobacco company, and their product has its faults, Blu gets props from me for a number of reasons. They have a public presence that Joye, SmokTech, Boge, and Vision do not. Hell, all those television commercials prompted my girlfriend to nag me about my smoking to the point I was ready to track down Stephen Dorff, and punch him in his ruggedly-handsome face, LOL!!! Blu is where a lot of new Vapers started their research. Though, not everyone is an internet dork like ourselves, and will not think of turning to forums for support in theory decision to quit smoking. Those vibrating packs synchronized to social media could be useful for new users to get in touch with other potentially new or experienced Vapers. Thereby, giving these Blu users a sense of community, and a network of people to turn to for help and support in quitting smoking. Kind of like a VaporTalk offline....

You're welcome. It's a good site, lots of wonderful folk here.
Oh! Be sure to dry the battery off extremely well before each charging. You've undoubtedly already discovered that any time you lose oomph, in between charges, drying off the connection will take it back to par. (but in case you haven't, or in case a lurker hasn't, I thought it worth sayin').

Done!

I ordered the vision battery and a evod, I hope this fixes my issues. I'm beginning to think my juice is too thick also, my bro sent me some of his juice and it's thinner than mine and vaped a lot better. I added a few drops of dw to the tank and had a lot less dry hits but lost taste and vapor so gonna order some new juice too. I chain vape so I take multiple hits at a time and then set it doown for a few.

i let someone smoke in my car last night. I was mildly disgusted. In my head I was like 'omg, im going to be one of THOSE people' !!!

Have a cig if you must...I guarantee it'll be the worst thing you've tasted, and will go right back to Vaping. Some people are able to stave off the cravings through sheer will-power, while others have to have the experience. One of my best friends (who is supposed to be my quitting buddy, LOL) can't stay away from cigarettes on his own. Even though I bust his balls on occasion, his tobacco usage is exponentially waning. He was a fifteen-year smoker, and has been Vaping since September. Everyone is different, though. Most of the time, merely smelling a freshly lit cig is enough to do it for me. Sometimes, I just hit the PV more. If anything, I'll comb the forums for threads like this...seeing others' trials, and courage to keep up the good fight is inspiring!!! I smoked for 22 years, and have been Vaping for only three months.

Another sad week for my wallet but a great week for vape mail!

I got three batteries...an eGo 1100mAh battery in the "disco ball" design, an eGo 1100mAh battery in the engraved Celtic design (I found the The Vapor Girl website! lol) and a purple Vision Spinner 1100mAh. I feel so powerful now! lol
I also got a couple Vivi Nova tanks, a couple Bauway 510 atomizers, some Vision CE3 Nano clearomizers, a couple Vision CE4 clearomizers, e-juices in butterscotch and "Monkey Tarts", several tips, several adaptors, cone covers, etc. Parts is parts.
I also sent back my two eGo mini 450mAh batteries to ValueVapor to be exchanged for new ones.

Here my personal experience:
Vivi nova....soooo easy to use. flavor does die out over time (about 3days-week) for me. changing flavor sometimes helps. next step, take it apart, rinse, refill. last step just replace the head. I tend to replace the head after about a week. Heating over time tends to thicken the liquid and it doesn't wick quite as well as fresh liquid. That is a problem with all except the dual coil tank and dripping. Its just the nature of the liquid.

Kanger....sooo easy to use. after a couple of days I end up getting the burnt wick taste....more than likely it doesn't like my stronger flavors...seems to do well with my lighter fruit flavors.

Dual Coil Tank....A bit more fuss to fill, but the flavor seems to last longer and more consistent vape...usually end up changing the cartomizer every couple weeks (draw gets tight, filler clogs).

The eGo 2.4 ml CC long wick is another clearomizer I like...the only problem I have had it the past is the tip can break away causing it to leak (super glue fixed that). I like it as much as my vivi nova.

Dripping....This for me has been my sweet spot for a very long time. better flavor all the way around. But it is a bit more work and a bit of a learning curve.

the 4 I always have on hand are the vivi nova, dual coil tank, eGo CC and dripping. I have a tendency to rotate through them....each one is just a bit different, and each one usually has a different flavor. (except dripping....that is alot different). I still mess with the kanger, because I like variety I guess.....

sorry, Long answer.

The below are from my recent order. I was a menthol smoker for 33 years, so I like the minty crap. All the Mt Baker stuff produces very nice vapor. All juices were steeped overnight, then shaken and vaped in a new Vision CE4 Clearos, with standard ego batteries (650s, 1000s). I did not try these on the spinner.

For as many juices I have tried, this is the first company that I like on par with Niquid (my all time fav).

Blue Ice E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)
Not bad. Subtle fruity flavor. I couldnt really say it was a blueberry flavor, but this one didn't go in my junk pile.

Candy Cane E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 2)
One of the better ones. Very much like a candy cane. Cool going in, cool going out. A repeat for me.

Cinnamon Roll E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)

Ecto Cooler E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)
Liked it the first day. Came back to it next day and hated it. It's like drinking a bad fruit juice.

Extreme Ice E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)
Liked this one. Clearly a wintergreen flavor. A repeat for me.

Menthol E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)
Very minty. It has that menthol mint, but not really any tobacco flavor. For me, it's a repeat.

Thug Juice E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)
The worst of the order. Tasted like i ran down the perfume isle at macys with my mouth open.

Venom E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 0)
They claim its 'all' of their cinnamon flavors in one. I didn't like it. It does have a massive throat kick, as others had reviewed.

White Out E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 0)
Like a Tic Tac. I added some menthol to take away some of the sweetness. Still on the fence if I would reorder.

due to the acidic essential oils used

Well, I was starting to pack them up to return them and now one's working! I'll give it a day or two, maybe the other will too. I have a little less than 60 days to return them if they're still acting up. Arghh!

Had some others that I've sold or given away but this is what I right now but always planning more. This is an overview of my juice and equipment shelves Here is the closeups I much prefer glass for holding my ready to vape or not as the case may be. Various bits and pieces that tend to accumulate. I keep my PG/VG in 2 each blue jars, My Nic in Amber jars, and Premixed in a Amber jar. These are 9 oz. short wide mouth glass jars Seem to work better for me easier to siphon out liquid and less chance of tipping over. Here are some of my flavors for DIY Can you tell I like Wizard Labs. Some more flavors including VZ super concentrated and lorann's plus other brands. Also syringes, pipettes, and plastic boxs for everything else. A couple of projects that I so far have not had time to do are make a stand for PV's. and a small wood cabinet to hold all vaping supplies. Hopefully soon. What do you folks think? Kinda OCD right. Thanks for looking all comments and or critiques are appreciated.
