Okay, so my starter kit arrived on Wednesday. Charged it up and filled it. 3 hits and I was sold! Tossed my cigars and dip in the garbage. Spent the rest of the night, about 4 hours, taking a puff every minute or 5. I take quite small puffs, about a second, inhale slowly and exhale slowly. Didn't get all jazzed up, fell asleep easily, slept great

Woke up yesterday morning nauseous as fuck. Just the smell of the flavors (I tried 2 flavors, cherry and vanilla, liked them both) made my stomach churn. Did not want nor use the ecig, a cigar or any dip yesterday. Had one small puff last night, didn't make me sick

So, a couple questions.

I have the 24mg nic juice, what is the equivalent of that to real smoke? More or less nic than a cigarette?

How much do you vape yourself, has it ever made you a bit ill?

1.8 seems to be about normal strength, I'm still getting used to it myself and it's taking a bit of getting used to myself as it's a bit different.

You're using pretty stiff nicotine level for starters I 'd think is probably it.

Hmm, I might have to look at picking a few of those up for a tank base and just keep the Nautilus.

I think you had one, someone tell me how the minis compare.

I'd like to have a few tanks around without having to change the coils too often.

Looks nice, might start a set.

I think the Vivi minis rock. They hold a pretty good amount of juice, and these Aspire coils are easy to replace. Best Ego sized tank I have found, which is important to get buy-in with my wife.

I am letting my wife chose between a BDC and a wicked clearomizer for her own needs, and I hope she doesn't pick the wick. Wicks are a huge PITA, and I don't like the fact that there is fiberglass between me and the juice...

Time for a little Vape Pron. I am very excited about all of this. The first thing I noticed was how small the Provari was. Then I noticed how nice it was. I love it. Batteries are charged and i'll be vaping in a little while.
I've been vaping the mini and its great. According to reviews, all of these tanks vape more or less the same, so if they are anything like the mini then i'll be thrilled. Anyway, have a look.
Also, all of these tanks came with a stainless steel replacement tank. I just showed what the Mega looked like, but you get the idea for the others. Its the same thing. Brilliant!

That ProVari is Sexy.

I'm still pondering things myself for down the road, I like the look of those VIVI Mini's.

That and maybe an Ego Twist for walking around, the wife still seemed a bit oddly interested in em and I could let her use it when at home and use my Evic.

Damn this thing feels solid and nice the in hand. Good lord. Worth every cent IMO.

Getting voltage dialed in. Strawberry is tasting like, strawberry. Yummy warm vape of fruity goodness. Oh my!

Also, hard to stop looking at gear, isn't it Mongrel? Spinner 2 looks good.

Provari's are awesome. Ive had one for? at least 2.5 years... Ive dropped mine in a creek, walked into a hot tub with it in my pocket... dropped it onto concrete from 3-5 feet at least 50 times, its dinged up a little but still working like a champ.... best ecig body investment ive made...

Does it auto set the voltage for you? I have been vaping my thug juice with the new mini protank 2 and it stops tasting like it first did. Probably since its all I have been using so I don't taste it anymore.

It doesn't auto set voltage. It doesn't have wattage control. It does tell you the Ohms of the tank you are using, then you set voltage accordingly and to your liking.
I've been vaping some amazing grape juice from the mini since yesterday and it still tastes the same. Time will tell how long that lasts though. So far, so good. Can't say enough about the provari and how it feels in your hand. It screams quality. Pretty ridiculous.

Yea it looks sturdy and pretty decent. I'm a very picky vapor unless it has menthol. I still have not found my all day non menthol vape. Some fruit juices are too concentrated or just don't taste like it smells lol. Which is why I wish they had a local place here so I can test juices.

Luckily I'll be in Dallas in a month so I will go to the lounges down there. They have an extensive juice menu.

Looks pretty awesome, thanks for the pics. I like the look of it with that smaller tank. I also like your ego setup, nice for backup or traveling.

Yeah, he he, just popped for these two to try em out together in black.

Vision Spinner 2 1600mAh

Aspire Mini Vivi Nova-S BDC Glassomizer


http://www.worldofvape.com/aspire-mini-vivi-nova-s-bdc-glassomizer/

Wasn't that much as a test thing for a back up as I'd made the plunge and wanted to try those VIVI's out.

I'm still loving the Evic Supreme, I took that into work last week with a bunch of people that have been vaping awhile, and a few jaws dropped and went "damn".

From what I've seen so far with a Nautilus on it you could fill it up and not recharge it and it would last at least 5 days straight.

:)

One of the reasons I researched a week before even getting one I guess, is about like my fanboy thing for WD HDD's, Samsung SSD's and ASUS MOBO's.

I'll usually find something I like and stick with it, the Aspire tanks seem pretty good, but I'm a N00B.

Glad you like it so much and it is giving you warm vapes. I would love to hear more.

It looks so nice, it would be nice to have a mod where you didn't have to read about it online beforehand to avoid its flaws. Once they go all in on VW I will get a Mini for the misses, she loves quality.

My new rig gets here Tuesday or Wednesday. I will post pics too!
