E-Cigarette!! Whose vaping??

Thanks again Krunch!! I'll definitely look into that Viva Nova Tank. I saw those aluminum tanks but they seem pretty bulky, and I'm pretty sure the tank I have no is glass, not plastic.. I was told when I bought it to be careful not to drop it or screw it in too tight because it can crack.

Floridian, I like my SmooV battery for vaping my flavored nicotine juice. There's a lot of pen-style batteries that are identical to it also, EgoT being one of them. It's 3.7Volts and works great, my 900mah battery lasted me exactly 2 full days on the 1st charge, and I was vaping HEAVILY :D

KMK, that's awesome man really great to hear!! Congratulations! And hearing stuff like this is very encouraging for me because I've only had my E-Cig for about a week now.
.... I've had less than a pack of cigs in the past 5 days since I started and I was a half pack to a pack a day smoker!! I think I'm gonna try to quit completely starting tomorrow (New Years), maybe bump my nicotine up from 14 to 16 to help

Oh yeah, and what FLAVORS are all of you vaping on? What flavor juices do you have in your collection and what are your favorites?? I need to pick up some more juice, but there's so many flavors to choose from that I don't know which ones to try! Lol

And what nicotine levels are you guys on, compared to how many cigarettes you usually smoked before? :wave:

Nicee, sounds tasty!! I reallyy love this Toasted Marshmellow flavor, it's the 1st juice I bought and I think it's going to be the one I use daily, soo smooth and sooo tasty!!

I also purchased a few more flavors today online. Got a lemon/lime flavor that is supposedly a hugee seller that everyone loves, and also got some Carmel Cappuccino that I reallllyy look forward to trying (tried a higher nic-level too for this, @ 16mg), and i got Fruit-Striped gum which is suppose to taste like Zebra Gum

Can't wait to try out my new flavors when they come in!! I really think I'll be leaning towards the smooth savory flavors, like the toasted-marshmellow, carmel cappuccino, maybe honeydew or vanilla would be good too.

Please keep the input coming, and Happy New Years everyone!!

I tried some back in 2010, I don't remember the brand, but they sold them at one of my gas stations. They had a disposible kind, and a rechargable kind via USB and you could buy cartridges in regular and menthol. I also tried a few other cheaper disposible brands. Some just were broken when I got them, and never worked.

Like I said, this was like 3 years ago now, so hopefully the technology has improved, because I plan on trying one again to quit smoking once and for all. I was smoking Newports up until a year ago, about 1-2 packs a day, sometimes 3, which supposedly are the strongest american cigarettes. Now I live in Chile, and Newports or good cigarettes don't exist, so I'm now accustomed to a weak cigarette, so I'm thinking if I got an e-cigarette I can simply get a higher nicotine dose.

But I'm definately tired of feeling the effects that cigarrates have taken on my lungs. Especially on days where I have a lot of stress and/or anxiety, and I'll find myself chain smoking, and the next morning I can barely breath.

Anyway, to anyone wondering, they definately work as a replacement for a cigarette. There really is no difference in effect, except for the fact that until it runs out of juice, you don't really know it's "going out" so it's possible that you'll just "chain-vape" until its done, and your cartridge will last you a few hours, rather than the few days as advertised. That's what happened to me at least, so I just found cigarettes more convenient at the time.

Awesome TribalSeeds!!! Glad you enjoy your Ego as much as I do. Today is also my first full day without ANY cigarettes!! :jump:
I've been smoking about 1-3 cigarettes a day since I got my e-cig a few weeks ago, and today's my 1st day without any!!

I'm also lovinggg my Ego 900mah battery with the Ego Type-2 Clearomizer TANK, setup!! Still rocking my marshmellow flavor at 16mg now, think I'll drop back down to 14 on my next bottle cause it tastes better.
... I also grabbed a few Cartomizers about a week ago to attach to my battery, so i put a new flavor in each carto and switch them out whenever I want to switch to a new flavor.

Tetra, I also tried those smaller 'cigarette-looking' e-cigs when they were first released a few years ago. They didn't function nearlyyy as good as the vape-setup I have now, I can see there's been lots of improvements in e-cigs over the years with all the hype over them..
.. I recommend you try a few different styles of e-cigs if you have the chance. The one I have produces great thick juicy vapor, excellent flavor and 'throat-hit', and I honestly love it way more than cigs! :D
The juice you try and nicotine-level also has a LOT to do with it

I love my E-Cig!!

I vape so often Ive cut back on the amount of herbs I vape by quite a bit. I keep a good nicotine buzz most of the day. I think I should cut back from 16mg but they dont offer 14 where I got my stuff from so Ill have to look around. I have some 12mg here but its not enough if I can only take 1 puff.
My only complaint with the starter kit I got was that the clear tubes leak juice when not in the pen. Im thinking of trying an aluminum option. Hopefully those wont leak.

Day 7 with not even a drag of a cigarette for me!! Well technically, the start of Day 8 :jump:

Tribal, I also have cut down on my herb intake since I've been vaping so much which was completely unexpected!! Hell I really didn't even plan to quit smoking cigs, vaping is just tastier, easier, more fun, and overall more enjoyable than nasty cigarettes. ... I also maintain a decent nicotine-buzz throughout the day, it's just hard for me to not vape all these different delicious flavors I've been trying all day longg! It's not too expensive and healthier than cigs so I don't feal guilty :)

I'm also using mostly 16mg Juice, although I have some 14 and 18.. I got an 18mg bottle of this "Marlboro" flavor and it's real good, almost identical to Marb Reds with a superrr intense throat-hit, I can only take a puff or 2 or it's too much, but PERFECT for a cig-craving!! :D :D
I'm stuck between using 16mg and 14 regularly, 16mg gives me the perfect throat-hit but 14 seems to have a slightly stronger flavor which makes sense. I'll probably bump down to 14, 12, etc.. once I'm off cigs for a few weeks.

I don't want to post it here, but if anybody is looking for a juice vendor with AMAZING juice and a hugee selection of flavors (over 1000 to choose from), PM me and I'll shoot you a link of this place.. They have a store near me (only 2 in the world), and thousands of people all over the world can vouch that they have the best e-juice. They mix up the juice formulation/flavors you choose for you right in the store, or you can order online
... I might even try to nab a job there! ^^ hehe

The EU is thinking about banning them--- Fuck me sideways what planet are these people on.

Wow. Would love to hear their reason behind doing this?

Whining about it "re-normalising" smoking and making real cigarettes "acceptable" again, encouraging kids, blah blah blah, with a healthy dose of puritan anti nicotine hysteria.

crazy thing is they allow companies like nicorrette or what ever to sell nicotine patches and gum with nicotine in,,, which is actually the constituent that causes the sclerosis of blood vessels and heart..

more smokers die from heart disease than lung cancer..

you might as well just lower your addiction by smoking less..

The lobbyists have free reign in the EU,. the pharmaceutical manufacturers and the cig companies have been cracking the whip.
Don't forget, Ecigs don't attract the "Sin Taxes" which have been imposed on real tobacco, and as these high taxes have been justified by the health risks of combustion, they would find it difficult to justify them for the Ecig, so they'll ban em.

in a word - fascism,, it's what the eu does best..

out of curiousity what chemicals are in these "flavours" ??

You probably inhale far more harmful shit driving your car around the block

-The content of the V2 Cigs liquid solution found in cartridges includes three primary ingredients: nicotine (except in Zero nicotine carts), flavorings, water and pharmaceutical-grade propylene glycol. You can download and view our ingredient list right on our website: http://www.v2cigs.com/pages/Downloads.html
Propylene glycol is added to the V2 liquid solution as a vaporizable base to dilute pure liquefied nicotine -Because of its water-retaining properties, propylene glycol is the compound of choice for delivering atomized medications. It has been used in asthma inhalers and nebulizers since the 1950’s
-In e-cigarettes, propylene glycol allows atomization to take place at substantially lower temperatures than required for a tobacco cigarette and will also help carry / deliver the nicotine when the vapor is inhaled
-While the contents of the liquid solution found in cartridges may vary depending upon brands, the major ingredients usually remain the same.

a 10ml bottle will probably last a month with a non stop nicotine buzz for $5. Easy decision.
