It can be frustrating, but don't give up!  Stick with small bottles, because even if you find something you like, as your taste buds come back all flavors will taste different!

This is totally correct!  Like everyone above said, it a highly personal, individual experience.  It can be frustrating at first, too many flavors, too many ratio's, different equipment.  I feel this is part of the vaping experience that makes it far superior to all other quitting methods.  You can tailor it to fit what you need/want.

If there's anything I've learned in the couple of weeks I've been here...other than SAFETY FIRST!!!!...it's that each person's perfect setup is whatever is perfect for them. Palates (taste), throat hit, amount of vapor...whatever makes you happy is what matters most...as long as you remember...SAFETY FIRST!!!

Yes, one if our members sent me some tanks and a bottle of juice that he didn't need anymore. I added my old pen type battery to it and told my step son to come up with a few bucks for a new charger. (mine fell apart)

I also told him that if he wasn't going to use it or if he didn't think it was for him to give the stuff back so I can pay it forward to someone else.

We will see...

Yeah, I am still excited for it. I pre-ordered 1/1/15 it was $79.99 and 35 watts.  They said it would be released in early February.  Here we are in March it is now a 50 watt mod, and it is $99.99.  When I got the e-mail I was shocked today.  This is the first I have heard out of them since I ordered it in January.  I guess when it gets here, it gets here!

There is an Aerotank mini that is also available. Unless of course your looking for more juice capacity.
 
Also, for your battery upgrade might I suggest an iStick 50w by eLeaf. you don't have to use its full potential but the thing lasts for days on a full charge at low wattage settings.
 
I get about 2 days on mine at 12w. Probably even more at a lower wattage.

Geez, I even got a good feeling about your success. Almost like it was me doing the good deed. Great job Earthling.
 
Look at you spending other people's money again. I guess Tam and I are off the hook for now. Even though I think Tam needs a Kayfun V4. LOL

Aw, and I was going to guess:  If you're going to ride my @$$, at least pull my hair.
 
Honest to God, that was the bumper sticker on a mini van full of Mom and four kids this morning. Nearly went into a ditch I was laughing so hard.

Jason... you shouldn't have...

So, when will it arrive at my house?

Seriously, when you get it, you'll have to post up a good review for the rest of us poor folk to envy, hahaha

Yes. I think you should stop looking so I'm not tempted to buy more toys.

Thanks!  I've got two good friends at that office that smoke like freight-trains... I watched one of them smoke three Camels today (by lighting only one) while on a break.  They're my next projects!!

Now that I'm back in an office (not working from home), I have had LOTS of opportunities to talk to even more people about vaping!
 
One of my co-workers had tried vaping a while back, and basically started out with an over-priced eGo from a smoke-shop... no support, no knowledge, and obviously gave it up rather quickly...   She was asking about what I used, and what would be good for her to get started again.  She wasn't really wanting to spend another $100 and get nothing out of it, so I set her up with one of my iStick 20W and a KPT2 as a loaner.  I went with her on lunch today and helped her pick out a juice at the local vape shop, which fortunately was only a couple blocks from the office.
 
I showed her how to adjust the Voltage / Wattage, disassemble the tank, fill the tank, change the coils, etc., and I also gave her a handful of coils I had re-built @ 2.2 Ohm (which are perfect for the iSticks!). 
 
Well, she just sent me an email, asking if I would sell her the iStick and tank, because she doesn't want to give them back   She's hooked!
 
She also wants me to go back with her tomorrow, so she can buy another battery and more tanks/coils/juice. 
 
I told her the blue iStick and KPT2 would be my gift to her, and I had a silver one I'd sell her for what I paid for it (from the VT store), to save her some $ over retail....  So, I guess tomorrow we'll be off to the vape shop again for more juice and additional tank shopping, lol.
 
I think I'm nearly as excited as she is

Here is the kit I carry with me daily:
 

 
  I am not on the road over night lately, so I don't carry any wire, coil building tools, etc.  I am going to have to build me a larger kit for when I start doing overnights again.  

Nope, the 30W is different:
 

 
The 20W does not have the flare, and it perfectly flat on top.

Is that a .50 cal pen holder in the back to the left?

Welcome Reasoned.
 
Couldn't agree with Tam and Bebop more. Start higher and work your way down gradually. If you were a 1 1/2 pack a day and 12mg of nicotine are not cutting it go up to 18mg.
 
Find yourself a good tank to go with that spinner that is easy to maintain. Like a KangerTech Aerotank. Coils can be fairly inexpensive. Especially if you get them online.
Always look for genuine never buy ones that claim to be and are knock-offs. Check the Vaportalk Store or check out the suppliers forums, there are good online stores there, like Sweet-vapes.
 
Ah crap didn't read you post fully. From what I understand the Ego1 is a good newer one. The spinners can be a good back-up, as you have already found out and Tam will repeat this a hundred times, "you need back-ups for your back-ups."
Wait she already has. LOL.

Got my custom built stand from Earthling,he did a fantastic job!

You can do it! Up your nicotine levels and get off the cigs. You won't regret it!

Thanks George

When it comes to cleaning, I tend to unscrew / remove everything I can, but in all honesty, when it comes to the deck, there is very little places that oil can get into that hot water, soap, and "running" hot water can't reach.  Vodka or pure-grain alcohol (Ever Clear) will remove anything else left behind (and will remove water from the crevices).
 
Pay close attention to the threaded areas, those tend to be the real "pockets" for oil.  I use an old toothbrush for cleaning threads!

Verify exactly what the batteries are. No "think" about it. The battery must be rated higher than 35amps on that .12 build. (.12 is too low for somebody who doesnt know what he's doing!)

See thread where guy who didn't know what he was doing blew up his hand (and got lucky he moved it away from his face!!)

Good job Tug. The long piece of kanthal reminded me of a pain in the a$$ cat that just keeps knocking things over on a desk. LOL
 
Very nice to see how this actually works.
