anyone here use one? i tried the ones that look like cigarettes and dont like them at all. i use this one, now

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/AsleepAltima/20121028_142501.jpg

its from ego-t. kind of like an e-cigar. usually smoke with coffee flavored juice or red bull - which im using now. about to order some apple and monster flavored juice too.
funny thing is, im not a smoker, i just like the feeling of nicotine and like this, i get the nicotine without the tar and all that other shit you get in a cigarette.

at my local unique cigs shop that i go to, you can get the basic kit: atomizer, battery, charger and juice for about 60 bucks. you buy the juice at 10 bucks a bottle and a bottle lasts me about a week. you can get it in different nicotine strengths too. they come in 6, 12, 18 and 24 mg strengths. i have a few friends that smoke heavy and dip as well and they say that the 24mg strength bottle is too strong. the battery lasts about a day and a half between charges, but again, thats going to depend on use. my friend says hes saving about 100 bucks a month now.

So OP, you dont smoke but you started using an e-cig for the nicotine?
Sorry, but thats dumb as fuck.

I picked up one of the disposable ones at Shell to give it try. Its not that bad, menthol is pretty cool but obviously its not the same. And It seemed like I was getting headaches more often after I started using it.

how do you figure? you dont need to smoke to use nicotine. this tells me that you dont even know the difference between using nicotine or using something like caffeine. why dont you do some research before you talk shit about what i do. i enjoy the effects of nicotine but i dont like the tar and other cancer causing elements of cigarette smoking.

Yeah man, great alternative to smoking. To anyone that is looking for a good setup for a beginner, but not utter shit, I'd go with an Ego Twist battery, a few Boge 2.0 OHM, or Crystal Clear Vaping 1.7 ohm ressurector cartos, a 3.5ml DCT tank, and some juice of your choice and you should be set.
I just set my friend up with this setup a week ago and he's in love. It's a great setup for around $40-$60, and you won't be upgrading in awhile since you already get the advantage of having variable voltage on the twist. Feel free to shoot me a PM if anyone needs help with a setup on your journey to converting to vaping.

The point of these are to get yourself off of cigarettes by eliminating the 4000 or so chemicals in a cigarette and just keeping the nicotine for your fix.

good shit. a friend of mine hooked me up with my setup. theres probably about 8 dudes in my work area that are using the firefly ego-t's. i think the firefly is a little flashy but they all do their job - eliminating smoking and dipping. they all are saying that their lungs feel better and they have more energy. thats important for all of us since we are all in the army.

exactly! i smoked a little in high school - not habitually, just mostly because i was living with my friend and he smoked, and i always enjoyed the feeling but didnt like the smell of the smoke on my clothes, fingers or breath. this way, i still get that feeling from nicotine without being a smoker.

Yeah man. This is where PV's/E-cigs really shine. You get the "smoking" cessation, nicotine, and vapor all without any real smoke. And to add to it, more flavors of e-juice than one could imagine.

I use the tornado tank e-nic from Totally wicked. Not bad... In the 6 months or so I've had it, Total cost is about $200. Going from a pack a day at about $5 a pack... You can do the math on how much I've saved. They have shit where you can mix your own flavors and liquids... I'm not that into it though... I just get a 5 bottle multi pack and that lasts me about 7 weeks. Bought the kit in picture (except I got the american version, euro outlets are different) below and havent had to buy a new atomizer or battery yet... But I'll probably need a new atomizer within the next 2 months.

If you go Ego, make sure it's an Ego twist. The standard egos can only operate at a certain voltage. (3.2v). The twists have the capability to be variable voltage and operate at anywhere from 3.2v-4.8v.

This coming Memorial day, will make 2 years that I've stopped smoking, and it's thanks to vaping. Nicotine is to smokers, what caffeine is to coffee drinkers. Pick your poison, everyone has one. The fact that I can run full court basketball games, don't smell like an ashtray, and don't wake up in the morning wheezing, is good enough proof for me, that vaping works.

Another awesome thing about vaping, is the variety of the flavors that you can get. I've heard of outrageous ones, like bacon, crab juice, pizza, etc. I'd never try those, but my peach green tea, that I'm vaping right now is awesome!! The Ego, as mentioned by someone else, is an excellent choice for beginners, who aren't sure if vaping is for them. It's not very expensive, well made, and performs quite well.

The thing about vaping, is that you NEED your vaporizer to be reliable. If you buy junk, you'll just get frustrated that it doesn't work, and head right to the store to buy a pack. It's also a state of mind. How badly do you want to quit analogs? If you give up easily, or make up excuses as why you need to smoke an analog, you just aren't ready to quit. Then, no tool can help you, since you don't want to help yourself.

If you are someone that wants the best variable voltage tube mod, the Provari is the way to go. Sure, it's costly, but it works perfect, and has so many safety, and performance features built it, it's worth the cost. Combine it with a tank, and you're golden! Lots, and lots of thick vapor, with minimal maintenance.

Here is a picture of mines. Mini Provari with blue LED, and a Triple V pyrex tank. Happy vaping!

According to my banner on the electronic cigarette forum, I've been smoke free for, 2 years, 5 months, and 7 days. I've saved $6,026, and avoided 14,000 cigarettes! Don't get me wrong, I've spent quite a bit of money of e-cigarettes too. A lot of trial and error, but I'm happy with my current set up. E-cigarette technology is just going to keep getting more advanced, so you never know what's around the corner.

I love vaping!!! Ive been into it for two weeks now and its awesome. I used to smoke a pack every weekend when I drink and now I just vape. Got my friends into it to stop smoking cigarettes. I wish they had this around before my grandpa died of lung cancer from smoking. It's cheap for a starter pack like $70 bucks and any juice flavor you want.

I Vape and have had one for about 3 months now. First one I bought was the zmax mini pictured below and have a mechanical mod as well for dripping/rebuildables. I'm literally bout to GIVE everything away since I've cut my craving for cigarettes and vaping now.

I bought this cause it was indeed hyped up and I'm not ashamed of it. BUT I was able to smoke virtually anywhere without people bitching and I cut my craving for real cigarettes significantly. I smoked close to 3-5 packs a week and that's all done. In fact, cigarette smoke actually sickens me when I'm around it. I also feel better and healthier in general.

Yes, it's a hype but it definitely helped me cut back and eventually quit. To each there own though, so this may not be the same results as others but I know multiple people who have quit smoking cigarettes do to vaping.

I've been vaping for almost a year and a half. Started out with tececig products. The small cigarette sized batteries and whatever the cigar sized tececig battery was called.. I recently switched to the eGo-CTwist with a vivi nova single coil tank.

I smoked for about a year maybe a little longer, a pack every two days. Since I picked up my tecegic, I've had roughly 10 or so cigarettes (mainly when a buddy picked up crappy beer). The girlfriend doesn't bitch and complain anymore, my parents are off of my ass, and the few buddies I have that don't smoke are relieved as well. I've gotten 4 friends hooked on them as well. These are the friends that smoke a pack or more a day. One friend was smoking 2.5 to 3 packs a day. He now loves his ecig and will not smoke a cigarette. He's also constantly broke.. The ecig is saving him money and he's much more likely to play basketball with us now.

I've been hooked on Life Smoke fluid for about 9 months. I started with their atomic fireball, thin mint, and tobacco flavor. I'm currently vaping thin mints as I'm typing this. I switch between three different flavors so I don't get bored with them.

Another thing I've heard from a buddy who bought about 8 coils for his vivi nova tank recommends using vodka to clean your coils... Haven't tried it because I'll drink it before I remember to clean a coil... He swears by it.

You have many options. People have personal preferences on style. Once you find the style you like then choosing which one is easier. But you really need to try the top, bottom and carto-tank to see which you like.

Carto-Tank: Cartomizer with holes in the side surrounded by a tank. Liquid weaps into the cart slowly replenishing it. Hit of a Cartomizer with the longevity of a tank. (DCT, CE6)

Top Coil: Wicks up to the top of the tank. "Wetter" Hit. Higher voltages can make a hot steam effect. (T2, Vivi-nova, CE4)

Bottom coil: Short wicks and the coil at the bottom of the tank. Longer travel so flavors blend in vapor. Higher voltages are cooler as it has time to cool thru the tube. "Drier" hit that some people don't like. (T3, EVOD, ProTank)

Drip atomizer: Drop right onto the coil, puff, repeat

RBA: Rebuild-able. Wrap your own coil, choose your own adventure.



I like the U-DCT from Smok for carto-tank. The cart is gutted with only the coil in the center. Get the benefits of carto without the filler.

Then I like the Kanger Pro-tank. Basically a T3 / EVOD on steriods. Uses the evod bottom coil but with a Pyrex and SS tank. Run any juice you want and not worry about acid etching or cracking.

Top Coils don't do it for me anymore...

First one is a Carto-Tank. Using a SMOK U-DCT cart in it may give you better flavor. A lot of cartomizers suck or have been sitting on a shelf to long
Borge is another good cart

Second one is a mini vivi nova. Top coil is what most people starting off like. The only other one I would recommend in top coil is a Kanger Te

What voltage and the ohm of the atty make a difference in hit and vapor production too.

This is the same tank that i have and i love it. Really easy to swap carto's and i love the locking feature. I carry this thing in my pocket everywhere i go and im pretty sure if i didnt have a locking tank i'd probably fill my pocket with juice by accidentally pulling the thing apart.

i only smoke when i drink, which is around twice a week, but i dont drink one or two... and i dont smoke one or two, a little less or up to half a pack... And the problem is that i like it, i like the flavor, i dont think i do it purely for the nicotine, and i even like the raspy feeling, i hate smoking something too light that i dont feel.
Well my brother in law bought a kit at the mall a couple of months ago which included two "cigarettes" and let me have one of them. I kinda liked it, especially cuz i can smoke inside the house while drinking and playing xbox lol, but it was charged with menthol flavor and obviously he took the charger, that was a couple of months ago so now it is almost dead.
Can anybody tell me what i have exactly? What to charge it with to get a better kick for more feeling?
I am not exactly trying to quit cuz like i said, i like it, but i wouldnt mind slowing down and save a few bucks. Here's what i have:

I don't know how you got a month out of it. But, you also mention a few days ago. Not following the time line. Most people charge theirs every 1-3 days. How much juice do you go through?

But, to answer the question at a point the voltage drops of and the vapor production of the coil goes down. There is relationship to voltage and throat hit.

Wattage(Volts X Volts(Battery)/Ohms(Coil)), PG/VG ratio and Nicotine level will all have an effect on throat hit.

nah, it was all a couple of months ago, 2 months or 3 months ago, i guess it didnt died completely cuz i only used it a couple of times when he first gave it to me and it was brand new and fully charged. It even still blinks when i turn it on, it just wont burn at all.
I'll buy the charger in a couple of weeks and hopefully i can get more into it.

I snagged one of the "Green Smart Living" $20 dollar cheapies from my local liquor store and was good for a week on the Clove flavor, but when I went to the Menthol it tasted too light and I had to go back to normal cigarettes.

One cartridge lasts me about a week (I smoke roughly a pack a day, sometimes less depending on the heat) and it's $15 for a pack of 5 cartridges... Peach flavor is amazing though and will be my "quitting" cartridge as I slowly move from High to Zero nicotine, sadly you can't refill these but screw it.

Zmax, vamo or SID for the battery.

Atomizers are a whole nother area. With personal tastes. I have a writeup a few pages back on the T2, T3, Protank. iClear 16 and 30 are also good.

Do you have just the Ego-t Battery or do you have the whole setup with the shitty punch carts? If the punch carts I would look into getting a different cart/atty setup first with the battery you have.

After my ego twist, I went for a mechanical mod. The K101 is definately a good upgrade from an ego. I haven't had any experience with the magneto, but I'm sure its a solid product. When you decide on what mod you want, the kanger protank 2 is a awsome tank to run. Packs a great flavor.

I was looking into vv/vw mods vs. Mech. Mod when I got mine.
I've read way too much and it seemed like everyone just eventually converts over to Genny RBA's and Mech. Mods because they are tired of messing around with the device settings and paying too much for replacement carto/atty. Plus the Mech. Mods came out before the vv/vw's did anyways and there is got to be a good reason why it's still being produced.

I don't think Mech. Mods are that much of advanced IMO..I mean that as in comparison of if you know how to chance shocks on your car, you know how to install coilovers kind of thing. as long as you know how to measure voltage and resistance..there shouldn't be any problems.

if you are going to do something that requires more maintenance in first place, why not care to learn a bit more about it?

The hardest thing I'm coming across with my setup is getting the wick/coil setup right. takes me couple of tries before I don't get any dry-hits.

and on those samsung batteries, I was looking at getting those, but I liked the fact that Sanyo battery I ordered has a built in protection[makes the batt longer by few mm, but I got a telescoping mod for a reason] and i've read way too many good reviews to not get them at the price they are at.

and post all your Fav. e-juices and links if possible, I 'm kind of getting tired of ordering from Mad-Vapes[their juice quality is very inconsistent and it's a hit and miss everytime even on a same flavor/strength reorders except 1 juice from them. Ultamint is my fav so far from them.] BUT their prices on juice is very hard to ignore.

. The hardest thing I'm coming across with my setup is getting the wick/coil setup right. takes me couple of tries before I don't get any dry-hits.

That's always the thing that annoys me the most, when you can't find where the coils are touching. What kind of wraps do you guys do? I do a 4-wrap build I like to call the "rock-on", because it looks like |,,| hence, the name given to it.

I do the 3/2 wrap, so just one less coil than yours. Note that I am using 30G kenthal a-1 wire as well, I'm thinking about going with 28G as well, [it's cheap enough to not care about for 100 ft of them].

I think I have found the reason of dry hits on my setup just a bit ago.
even with the normal "genny tilt vape" i was getting dry hits. I think it has a lot to do with the way the wick is made. Mine is out of SS mesh and is hollow-rolled, but the coils are very evenly spaced out from the bottom post[the negative/-] to top post[positive/+] so that the rate of juice wicking/flow wasn't enough to keep up with the way the coil was evaporating the liquid.

So later today, I'll try to get the coils to sit lower to the base while firing evenly, and if that doesn't work i'll add in one more coil wrap[higher resistance] and see if that does me better. With my 3/2 wrap, I'm getting about 0.6~7 omhs. But I also don't do any burn in/carbon build up process as a lot of the vid's i've been watching on YT...no one does the carbon build/burn in process anymore, but that might be the trick I need to do as well.

and post all your Fav. e-juices and links if possible, I 'm kind of getting tired of ordering from Mad-Vapes[their juice quality is very inconsistent and it's a hit and miss everytime even on a same flavor/strength reorders except 1 juice from them. Ultamint is my fav so far from them.] BUT their prices on juice is very hard to ignore.

Vaporlabsonline.com is a California based business. They have 3 locations in socal. Ecig city also has 5 locations in socal. The reason why I like to check out these stores is because you have access to hundreds of eliquid to sample.

My favorite brands/flavors are:
E Liq cube: melon ball 6mg, pinkstarbust 6mg, lovepotion 6mg
Villan Vapors: pair of duecess 6mg
Uncle Jack's Genius: monicas eyes 6mg

Just out of pure boredom, i cleaned my RSST and recoiled it. 30g Kenthal A-1 wire and 400x400 SS Mesh.

I did the 4/3 wrap, came out to about 3.0 omhs unburned, and went down to about 2.6 omh's after burn in. RSST has really large wick hole, so I am able to take the mesh and wrap it around the rod of a Q-Tip while I am wrapping the coil around the stainless mesh wick. This helps a lot in many ways, it keeps the mesh straight and makes this 10x easier while wrapping the coil, and also allows the wick to have a hollow center with about 2.5 wraps of mesh.

I can chain vape without doing the normal genny tilt, and the wick is able to keep up with the burning from the coil.

Just sharing my experience from today.

Build on my rsst with 3mm folded silica, wraped with a dual 30g coil at 4 wraps. Wasn't successful because the coil will dry out despite "the genesis tilt". Even tho its a folded wick, there was still a little bit of room inside the wick hole.

I aborted that setup and put ss mesh back on. Twin wrap, 3x with the same 30g

Another order from FastTech came in.
I ordered the IGO-W along with 3x30ml juices of menthol/peach and the needle tip bottles.

https://www.fasttech.com/p/1425400
^The bottles, super useful, I planned on using 3~4 of them, so ordering 10 was cheaper than ordering 4. just made sense and going to give the rest out to my local friends.

https://www.fasttech.com/p/1431800
The IGO-W.

So...the coils that came with the IGO-W just plain sucked, so I took them out and built my own coils, the normal 4/3 wrap with my 30G Kenthal A-1 wire. The airhole on the top-cap is only 1/32th" wide, so I immediately drilled it out to 1/16th" hole. much better draw. I don't plan on doing the dual coil, but liked how the IGO-W looked compared to IGO-L so I got the W instead. the construction seems superb for the price of this time, full stainless build, atleast the base and the top cap. The drip-tip looks awesome, but I don't like using the metal one's so I just use my acrylic tip on it. everything fits nice and tight, no wiggle anywhere.

Only thing I need to go buy now is some cotton string so I can build more coils later on down the road.

So far so good, I'd recommend it. and btw, my coil in the picture came out to 2.3 Omhs.

You're going to love the Kayfun Lite. It takes a little getting used to in terms of building/cleaning it, but it's so smooth when you vape on it, full flavor too.

iTastes' are great devices. They are variable voltage which means you can change the voltage of the hit, whether you want a hotter or cooler vape, which in turn changes the vapor and flavor you want.

The voltage makes a big difference. Some juices like more, some like less. With the dripper setups, in my experience, the flavor is way more powerful and the clouds are huge.

The beauty of rbas is you can build them your choice resistance. I would suggest starting out with a cheaper/clone mech and a dripper. You can probably get a setup for about 100$ to learn on. But it you dial it in just right, you won't even look back to your old setup

you can find the sigeli(recommend the caravela clone, its a solid device) clones for 20 bucks +/- and get yourself an Igo-l clone, they have 2 post, drill a hole for dual setup, and vape on, you will blow clouds all day no issues, also if you start going subohn, dont forget to get a 30a battery, panasonic sells em for cheap, vaporjoes dot com has the best deals around, hope this helps!

The beauty of rbas is you can build them your choice resistance. I would suggest starting out with a cheaper/clone mech and a dripper. You can probably get a setup for about 100$ to learn on. But it you dial it in just right, you won't even look back to your old setup

AAnd fast tech now has nemisis clone... might just get it...

They have had the Nemisis clone up for few month now...and I just actually ordered mine about 8 hours ago alone with some basic driptips. I was thinking of ordering one of the nimbus clone thingys..but my IGO-W/clone is working like a champ and I don't ever see it ever breaking on me even from a abusive useage.

oh..I actually prefer plastic/acrylic/delrin drip-tips over the metal one's. I don't like nipping at hot things:rimshot:

I keep getting the drip-tips that are super stupid loose which I absolutely hate, so I keep getting different one's to see the one that fits well. the one I've been using for a while that I recently broke trying to drill out the hole bigger(this is a bit of a challenge then I thought..I had to "reverse" drill the thing. like...the bit spinning counter clock to bore out the acrylic because I was having hard time holding the damn thing..and i shattered the damn thing using pliers to hold it. :facepalm:)

I hope my order comes in soon...eeeermarggedeeeeeedddddd...

The Nemesis clones (the one made from H-Cigar) are the better quality clone, in comparison to the Fasttech ones. The King mod clones look like shit. I personally own a Nemesis and Chi You clone (both H-Cigar) and perform better than the originals.

My hunt for that perfect plastic drip-tip continued and I remembered I had couple of Stardust Clearomizers laying around from left-over stock pile I had. What I did particularly remembered about it was that I liked the driptip/mouth piece a lot on it but didn't care much for the clearomizer itself.

Well...got to tinkering and came up with this in about 10 mins or so.

I am now officially calling it off on my driptip search! This thing fits tight and snug. I don't really ever take my drip-tip off on my IGO-W, I'd much rather take the whole top-cap/cover off to drip juice into it.

Hopefully I helped someone...if not it'll just be me shairing my new excitement. LOL

It actually works pretty good. The top cap doesn't just come off like the real one, it screws off, but it's fine. Also, you need to drill holes for the other side of the cap, to have 2 air holes, but other than that, it works great.

Well, for beginners who want to stop smoking instead of vaping just for the "fad", then a real shop can teach and educate them instead of them buying something online and not knowing how to use it.

Also, everything is cheaper on the internet, it's common fact, but you don't get to try out juices or new devices other than at a shop.

Just picked up this beauty from viper-vape.com, based out in Carlsbad, CA. As you all know, its an Ithaka clone. I tried making my own daul coil with non-resistant and resistant wire. But it was a total pain in the ass twisting wires together. But I ordered ready wire from discountvape.com so I should be getting it by friday.

On the ithaka clone, the quality is great! Almost comparable to the Russian kayfun clone. Threads are smooth. And for $49, you can't argue the price
