Not sure. I trusted, and leaned on pretty heavy, my equipment to get me through and tried to ignore any cravings. I kinda figured if I didn't think about it, it wouldn't be an issue.

For me, after 50+ years of cigarettes my transition to vaping went pretty smooth. Course I sucked guite a few tanks dry the first few days, but eventually things calmed down and I settled into what I do now .... 1.5 - 2 EVOD tanks a day. I convinced myself from day one that this IS going to work and trusted my equipment to get me through. The little words of encouragement I got from everyone around me helped, too. Plus I was fortunate enough to have a top-shelf, no BS vape store owner nearby who started me out with the right setup as well.

Tired of charging? Not on my radar of things to worry about. Know one thing, tho..... sure beats the other activity I left behind when i bought my first setup. So, I guess I don't mind, afterall.

This whole discussion is probably going to prove worthless in the future, anyway. I expect Big Tobacco will figure some way to demonize the Chinese products and "lobby" congress to force them out of the market so BT can keep on screwing everybody's brains out. The days of quitting tobacco with inexpencive entry level equipment are more than likely numbered.
I'm not going to even pretend to know the Chinese manufacturers'/suppliers' mindset, but I would imagine them to be every bit the capitalist as the next person and aren't going to be very happy about being pushed aside without a fight. I can't see them just tossing in the towel and saying "oh, well".

Yowza!! Way to go, guy. Convince yourself it's going to work and trust your equipment to get you over the hump and you're on your way to success. It does get easier every day if you WANT it to......trust your equipment.

I could be way off base, but I can't imagine China just sitting back and doing nothing and allowing the e-cig business to get hammered into oblivion.. There's way too much money on China's side of this issue. Juice regulation I can forsee, but the equipment side is going to be quite an uphill battle.

Yep, backups are an essential part of getting off the BT bandwagon. Seems a bit costly at first till you learn the hard way.

Couldn't tell ya. I don't boil mine, either, just know the reasoning behind it. Actually, I'm not the one to be asking about safety since I'm the one you see riding a bike w/o a helmet, occasionally ride around w/o my seatbelt, eat stuff I drop and pick up, and, oh yeah, I've been known to run with scissors, too.
I figure any critters on a 6mm piece of yarn won't make it through the heating process, and there probably isn't enough chemical residue on that 6mm piece to hurt me any more than the rest of the crap provided by Big Tobacco I've inhaled over the years, either. But that's just me thinking out loud. You do as you think best for you.

A suggested safety step. No telling where it's been, who's been handling it, or if there are any stray chemicals left on it. Original intent of any cotton whether it be a ball of yarn, or wads of cotton isn't for heating and inhaling what comes off of it, so, boiling is a step for your/our safety.

There will come a time where it will be all vaping and tobacco will go the way of the droopy drawers fashion - amen !
You mean we won't have to be relegated to the leper colony on the Group W bench with jonnoh, anymore? Don't think I'll live to see that day, but sure is nice to think about.

BINGO!!, Comp. If anyone truly thinks any govt. is interested in killing their cash cow, they may ant to take a peek at this. Just add 3 zeros to each number listed. http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=403

My friends, in the strictest sense of the word(s), and in the eyes of the smoke nazis and the uninformed, we are still "smokers"......and drug addicts, too,. In my opinion, it is imperative that the public be informed and educated as to the benefits of electronic cigarettes before anything positive is accepted by the general public and vaping becomes as acceptable as sitting around having a beer, glass of wine, or shot of your favorite adult beverage. There seems to be quite a bit of positive information about e-cigs being better than Big Tobacco's witches brew, but the media seems intent on burying anything positive. Why? Not hard to figure it out...... money talks. But, the word is spreading. Much slower than I, and possibly you, would like, but the e-cig is gaining ground.... at a snails' pace. According to an article in my local newspaper today, the CDC says e-cig use by high schoolers has tripled over the last three years. Is this good or bad news? Depends on how you interpret it. Also in the article it is said that about 23 percent of them used some sort of tobacco product. If the e-cig gets them away from cigarettes and such, then the triple useage increase figure is positive......which is how I interpret the article. Of course, one could say I'm biased since the e-cig has - in one day - taken me away from a 50+ year cigarette addiction, and taken away my small contribution to the well being of Big Tobacco. Don't be beating youself up about vaping being a "cop-out" or anything else. It is what it is ......a much better/healthier alternative to stinkies, a much easier path to finally kicking BT out of your life, and "fun", too, so stay on track and enjoy. Don't let yourself be bothered by anything anyone else has to say. I can't honestly say I "like" vaping, and am having fun, but I do, very much, prefer it to anything else I've tried....as does my wife and non-smoker friends. I've added my 2 cents worth to this so I'll shove my soapbox back under the bed and keep on vapn'. Oh yeah, saw a guy wearing a T-shirt that says "DUDE, It's Only Vapor". Didn't get a chance to talk to him, but, I want one.

Local news has been going on about kids eating laundry detergent pods lately. A grandmother accidentally gave a gel pod to her granddaughter thinking it was a teething toy. Oops. The little one was okay, just not feeling well for a bit.
Guess it's a waste of time to expect warning labels for out-of-touch grannies.

I'm a Kanger Tech fanatic, everything works great! I've been using high mah batteries for a year, just switched to T3D tanks and love them mainly because I don't have a ton of money to spend. After all, the purpose here is to still enjoy nicotine at a safer use but, mostly a lower cost!
I'm trying to help a girl friend of mine get started and off cigs. So,,, Ladies how many of you are using EVOD batteries and what tanks? Aditionally, are any of you put off by the weight and size of Evod equipment and are using EGO or the new EMUS and prefer those? Give me your pros and cons please?
Also, this ain't no girlie girl I'm setting up, she's sexy, petite and can kick most punks asses!
I ain't no lady, but here's my 2 cent's worth, anyhow. Been using eGo / EVOD setup for quite a while. Don't use variable batts since i'd always be using the highest setting anyway, so what's the use? My goal was to leave tobacco behind and this setup has performed quite nicely. Not in a fashion show, and not interested in what "the other guy" has. I'm guessing here, but I assume your tough little sweetie has the mindset of if you don't like it, don't look at it. Seems you might be the next butt-kikkin victim if you pick wrong for her. Choose wisely, grasshopper.

Don't know anything about building coils since that just isn't my thing, but if I knew for certain the guy was being BS'D for a sale, I don't think that shop would be my goto place anymore. Probably might have been tossed out anyway since I'm not one to sit around knowing someone is being BS'D without speaking up.
