Anyone here doing the E-Cig / Vape thing?

[pr_capone]

Thanks to my vape, I've had only one single cigarette in the past 3 weeks. I have zero cravings for them and I feel considerably better. In fact, I still have about 5 smokes left in a pack and just can't see myself smoking those... don't want to.

Even better... 5ml of juice, which costs $5, lasts me about 2 weeks meaning that I am spending less in the long run. I only smoked, at most, a pack a week... but still.

I tried the Blu E-Cigs but they were terrible. Trying to "smoke" out of one of those was like trying to take a hit off a joint that was rolled WAY to tight.

I'm using an eGo-V v2 mega battery with variable voltage control with a gravity tank.

I smoke about a pack a day of camel lights, can someone recommend a good starter kit to get into vaping and a good site to buy from?
Thanks.

I would say that a good entry level would be the Innokin MVP. There are a couple different versions. Version 3 being the latest IIRC. It will get you in the box mod type feel and a decent wattage to vape well. Every stick type battery I have ever had always left me with a desire for more.

Right now I am using a IPV mini II that will vape from 5-70watts. I am using a Aspire Atlantis tank with a .5 ohm coil at 25 watts. It is heavenly to vape from.

It's absolutely amazing....
Oh, and no glass to break.

That does look pretty nice. I vape like a fiend so I still prefer a box mod but this looks like a good starter set up to replace smoking. I'd go with the 2200 mAh over the 1100 because it's only a difference of four dollars here:

And you will notice the difference in run time. With a 1.0 ohm head and a 4.2 volt max setting it will do you up nicely if you want to get away from smokes.

I just got that set a few weeks ago and I love it!

The Atlantis 2.0 is out:



Not worth it to me to upgrade from the 1.0, but I'd grab the 2.0 if I didn't already have the first one.

[listopencil]

Oh, shit. The Atlantis 2.0 Mega. God damn it.

I tend to top out at 40 watts. Here's a guy doing 400 watts:

So last Tuesday I picked up an ego one kit, haven't had a cigarette since. I've spent about $10 on the liquid in that time, as opposed to a carton of smokes at $110.

So now my question is do I stick with this ego and buy a back up or should I explore something else that might be better quality?

You are going to want a 2nd battery unit so you never go dead, but what you have is fine.

I was on my phone earlier so I couldn't really type out a decent response. I looked at the preview video for the Ego One (I posted it earlier in this thread, it's on the last page) and the guy says that it runs at 4.2 volts. If his stats are correct: You can get a 1.0 ohm (resistance) atomizer or a 0.50 ohm (resistance) atomizer for it. It's unregulated which means the wattage depends on the resistance you choose and how many volts the battery is pumping out at the moment. Using the 1.0 ohm atomizer head you are vaping at 17.64 watts. Using the 0.5 ohm atomizer head you are vaping at 35.28 watts. That's with a freshly charged battery. As it discharges your power will go down. I looked it up on an Ohm's Law calculator here: http://www.ohmslawcalculator.com/ohms-law-calculator

What this means, assuming his stats are correct, is that you are getting a mighty fine vape and a seriously good bang for your buck. This is perfect for long time/heavy smoker that wants to quit. I hope you did get the 2100 mAh battery because that will really make a difference in your vaping experience. I would strongly suggest that you get a second battery (2100 mAh) and call it good. I am assuming that you are using the 1.0 ohms (resistance) head right now. Down the road if you want to play around a bit grab a pack of the 0.5 ohm heads. Or grab both and see what you like.

If your plan is to use this to replace smoking and then stop vaping as well at some point, go ahead and stop right there. You have the device you need. Start using lower and lower nicotine levels in your fluid as it suits you with a goal of going zero nic once you can handle it.

Thanks listo, I did get the larger battery version and am using the 1.0 ohm head, I didn't really care for the .5ohm) I started on 18 mg nic but am now using 8mg. I planned on eventually going a bit lower.

It's working pretty well for me so far but I've been considering the second battery. I was toying with just getting a second unit.

So here in town I get 15ml of "vapage" brand juice for $10.
Is it worth looking for cheaper online, or is that a fair price?

[listopencil]

I can usually get 15 ml for about $8 depending on the quality. And then online you can get all kinds of deals. I like Mister E Liquid (http://www.mister-e-liquid.com) but there are a bunch of links in this thread to juice suppliers. I have almost always found it cheaper online. I have been mixing it together though since I found out that you can vape the VG that you buy at a drug store. Just make sure it is USP grade. I ordered some stuff online that I knew had really good strong flavor, and I ordered it 100% PG, it was $14.50 for 30 ml. Then I bought some VG from Wal Mart. It was something like $3.50 for a 177 ml bottle of the VG. I mixed it about 80/20 (vg from Wal Mart/pg from juice) because my atomizer works pretty well at high VG levels. That gave me 150 ml of juice for about $17. I have a few little bottles of local store bought stuff that I mix in with VG as well.

I just saw this. It's the Innokin iSub tank. Comes with two 0.5 ohm heads and has a 4 ml capacity. It's only $12.50 at the MyVaporStore site.

The iSub will come in three tiers (at three price ranges I assume) depending on the tank. The one pictured above has a PC plastic tank, the G has a pyrex tank and the Pro has a stainless steel tank.
