I just bought the vapor zeus with an additional 5 smilomizers and should have it by the end of the weekend (hand delivered to Baghdad). I'm so excited to get it. I will let you all know my impressions after a few days of use.

For the most part (except on r&r once ever 2 months) I live and work in the Green Zone "Baghdad". There are at least 2 dozen or more co-workers that are vaping. It is very encouraging. For some reason though a lot of Iraqi's that have seen me vaping while out on a mission are under the impression, from where I have no idea, that vaping is extremely dangerous in comparison to smoking analogs themselves (something about having water in the lungs). That being said I have seen at least a half dozen Iraqi's vaping outside of the Green Zone.

I had free shipping on my entire order with some in house coupon. That made me feel a little better. Yeah, I will let you know on the smileomozer's. From the reviews I have read or seen they seem to be spot on. I will try to do a review on it after I have tested it for a few days. I'm surprised no one else from this forum has done a review on the unit. I waited a while for one to come out and none did, so I just jumped right into the deep end.

Just bought the overly expensive (money not an issue obviously) vapor zeus auto starter kit and some spare smileomizers from vapor4life. I also put in an order for 7 different e-juices from mister-e-liquid. Now I must wait for a few weeks for it all to be delivered to me in Iraq from a friend who is traveling back to the US for a couple weeks. I'm excited but the long wait is a certain buzz killer.

I fly every 2 months or so internationally via United. Since I am still relatively new to vaping I have only tried vaping on my most recent flight. As Burn mentioned I just held the vapor inside my lungs longer to prevent the "cloud effect". I didnt hide it and none of the flight staff said anything. I vaped "regular vaping" in the Tampa international terminal in a quiet location (some people still about) and not once did TSA say anything. I was gonna vape a Dulles but alas I was late for my flight and did not have time. I try to be discreet as possible but like I said didnt hide it. Good luck with your vaping endeavors on flights across the world.

Totally Wicked also opened up a vendor store in the Tampa area just 6 miles from my house. I went there the other day and spent about 75 dollars. I also picked up one of their nova tanks (black) with their logo on the side. I have been using it about 4 days now and have not encountered any issues with it. I'm using it on my new spinner that came in the mail the other day. Great set-up and the black looks awesome. I havent tried any of their juices yet but I look forward on stopping by again soon. Gosh I can see myself spending lots of money there. It really is awesome having such a great store nearby. I will try out the French Vanilla Cafe to see if I like it as much as you do. Happy Vaping.

I wonder if any of you have any embarrassing stories that relate to your vaping experiences. A few days ago I was showing off my ego-c to potential new vapors and unscrewed the battery to show it to them but instead of unscrewing the battery I unscrewed the bottom of my nova tank and the e-juice went every where. Most embarrassing for me. So what about you all?

Just ordered the vision spinner 1300mah from smoktek.com and am very excited for it to get in. Now the long dreaded wait. I look forward to using it with my new nova tanks that came with 3 extra coils with each tank, and the 9 extra 1.8ohm coils bought at a totally wicked store nearby. Almost ready for the dreaded trip back to work in a couple weeks.

I feel like a dummy for admitting this but then again I am an admitted newb at this whole vaping experience. The mini nova that I bought last weekend does in fact fit. The bottom of the coil has a spring in it and I was not pushing it down hard enough for the spring to contract before threading it. I guess I was just afraid that if I pushed to hard I would damage it...phew. At least I have a spare tank now. Lessons learned.

I just bought (2) nova tanks, and (9) 1.8ohm coils for them. Now about to place an order for a vision spinner and about 150 ml of e-juice from vapedudes.

Here is a one in the Tampa area: Totally Wicked (Free juice tasting-so I have been told-every Tuesday-timings unknown-I have not visited yet but will next week) 14449 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Carrollwood Tampa, Florida 33618 813-443-2126 DragonGunner

No link. Picked it up at a retail location. Located at the Big Top Flea Market in Tampa. I will attempt to take a pic or two of it and to show you. It looked all original and the guy selling it also said it would fit my ego-c. May have to pay him a visit next weekend and have a few friendly words.

Are the mini nova's different than I guess a regular nova tank. I've tried every combination and it seems the threaded bit from the coil at the bottom is very skinny compared to the wide mouth from the top of the ego-c battery. Am I doing something wrong perhaps?

Grrr....just found out - the hard way as usual - that the mini nova tank system I just bought does not fit into my ego-c without some type of adapter. The mini nova threads are too small to fit onto my ego-c battery. Ahhhhh. Lesson learned.

I need an opinion. As posted earlier I was thinking of buying the ego v passthrough revolution 2 1200 mah but after much thought am thinking of buying a couple of ego spinner 1300 mah batteries. The reason for the change is because although the digital read out seems to be a great advantage as well as the passthrough technology, I think with my clumsy hands if I drop the battery I might screw up the digital display rather than the spinner which does not have a display. If I get the spinner I think I will buy 2 Boge F16 tanks with at least 10 LR cartos. The thing is that I cant seem to find a website vendor that has a one stop shop for everything. Grrrrr. Fustrating to say the least. The problem with visiting so many online vendors is that although I visit them with the intention of looking for what I want I am so easily distracted by all the other cool things they offer and sometimes end up forgetting what I actually visited that website for. Guess I'm losing my mind in my middle aged years. So do you think this set up would be great?

Thank you everyone for all the advise.

@jeffb....are you saying that vaping is not a bad habit? I'm not being argumentative, just wanna know facts as I am new to this.

Ok. I would like to know everyone's thought on this. More importantly those who have successfully quit smoking analogs over a long period of time. I'm going to assume that the reason we all began vaping was to quit smoking analogs. Now that many of you out there have successfully quit analogs, do you believe that if you quit vaping you would automatically go back to smoking analogs? I mean the whole reason we all began vaping was to quit analogs right? So why continue to vape after successfully quitting analogs? Are we quitting one very bad habit only to pick up another (not as bad) habit? I know that I will save tons of money and most importantly improve my health by quitting analogs, but my initial noob impression seems that vaping can also become an expensive habit as well. For me even after I successfully quit analogs I will most likely continue to vape as I find it enjoyable and most likely more enjoyable after I learn more about all that's out there. But I also have to ask myself why I would do that? Perhaps I am more susceptible to bad habits more than others. Your thoughts.

Hello all. I am still very new to vaping and need some much needed advise. At the moment I am here in the US but only for the next 30 days. After which I will be headed back to Baghdad, Iraq (non military) where I work a full time job. I am normally away for 6-10 weeks at a time before I return to the US for a much needed break that normally lasts about 2 weeks. I have recently bought an ego-c kit and it is performing well for me. Over the past few days I have been chain vaping and am going through my e-liquid pretty quick (3-5ml a day). On a side note I sure do wish I new about this forum before I bought my ego-c because now I want to buy the ego-v pass through revolution II1200 mAh. The advise I need from you all is: How much supplies (atomisers, cartomisers spare batteries etc. should I take with me so I can continue to enjoy my vaping experience (I cannot mail order as I do not have a mailing address in Baghdad)? I really do not know how long all of these items usually last or how they hold up do to their quality. In other words if you were me and going someplace that you would not be able to mail order or go to a store for supplies what would you take with you. As I mentioned above I have 30 days until I return so I have plenty of time to order supplies in. Thanks in advance, Dragongunner

Hi. Just wanted to post a quick hello to everyone. I am a noob vapor. Two days ago I received my Joyetech Ego-C and quit analogs. No problems so far with the need to wanna go back to analogs. I tried vaping about 1 year ago and did not put much thought or research into it and bought the cigarette looking e-cig with disposable flavor cartridges. Needless to say I went straight back to analogs as the nicotine content that I bought was extremely low and the flavors were horrible. After much thought and convincing the wife that I wanted to try vaping again I did a little research and bought the Joyetech ego-c and some liquid from Mister-e-liquid. Again so far so good. I never realized that there was so much talk about vaping out there. I am happy to be here and to learn from veteran vapors from around the world. Dragongunner
