Yea I like that I can charge my evic at my pc. The top parts for mine are also replaceable. Going to check out the links for the supreme model.

Now what you want is some decent tanks. But I think you have that covered. I would definately suggest the ego cc. Not the battery but the clearo tank. Good quality and nice draw and all you replace/dry burn are the atomizers. When my mini protank 2 comes in I'm going to order a few more bottom coil pieces as extras because I take mine apart and dry burn the wicks. Makes one atty last a long time for how much I vape.

Sweet that is a good idea. That way we can share opinions on our juices. I know when you first start you spend a lot of time trying to find your daily vape juice and personally it can be pretty rough at first.
Up and running :)

Got my G6 up and running. Really liking it. Thought about taking it to the gym. >_< If a bunch of stupid ass kids get to just goof around on the squat racks for an hour and a half, I can kind of smoke!

Seriously though, this is pretty good. I actually got two manual batteries rather than a manual and an automatic. So far, the cocoa juice I initially tried is pretty good. Going to go with a more fruity flavor next. Really liking it. I imagine this is going to be perfect for when I drink.

Yup it works well when drinking. I was on a bar patio one day and some chics came up and asked me what I was doing. Good conversation starter too.

Is yours with a cartomizer that you replace or a tank you refill with juice ?

Cartomizer. I got some blanks and some juice. I don't know if it the fact I got back from the gym or that I took a few puffs, but it is making me hungry!

If you are replacing cigarettes you will be hungry for a bit when you switch over. All the chemicals are getting cleared out. But it most likely is the gym. For me vaping makes me a little less hungry but if I'm generally hungry it will persist and I usually don't vape on an empty stomach.

Lol, I don't even smoke. I just like the feel and act of smoking, not the nicotine itself. =)

Well that's why I smoked for a couple of years until I found ecigs and stopped smelling like an ashtray. Stay nicotine free then no need to get hooked on it if you aren't already.

My little brother asked if I would get him an ecig and I said hell no since he doesn't smoke and I couldn't control if he got nicotine juice or not since I don't live with him but I know my mother would kill me for "teaching" him to smoke lol.

Just got a Vivi Nova Mini plus one of those 900 mah Ego Cs for my wife. I think it will hold just enough juice and battery to make her happy. I personally use this:

IMO the Vamo is still one of nicest looking APVs available. Even after someone pointed out it looked like a silver totem pole with a unibrow showing its O-face.:D

Stuck another one on the Supreme in here before napping.

I'm still a n00b myself here obviously, but thought I'd another one up, even though I detest I-Phone things :eek:

I guess I bought a I-Phone E-Cig, but I'd rather do it there then my phone I guess.

I was a hair away from going there but decided to go the other.

Nice rigs guys. Good shit for sure. I thought about making my own juice and am interested in opinions on juices, so i'll be jumping in the juice thread.
I learned to keep my coil heads separate for flavors, at least if I want it to taste good. Also, I burnt my first coil head. I was wondering why it tasted like harsh shit all of a sudden. Put in a new coil head, lowered the voltage and bam, all better.
Also, smackababy, glad you like your setup.

LOL! I like it a lot, but I am mostly using it with Gentlemen V2s so I barely ever use its advanced features. I wish my wife (who is a pretty heavy cig smoker) would tolerate a larger rig as I would give her that totem pole plus a new RDA.

I purposefully went with the setup I did with her because any larger and the size of the device will turn her off more than the better clouds and taste would bring her in.

I want a Provari, but this Ego twist is vaping like a beast as it is, even with a cheap tank. Can I expect larger vapes from a Provari with an aspire nautilus? Or would it only provide more options and longer battery life, more juice in the tank etc.

Maybe. My Vamo at 3.2v is more steady and powerful than either of my Ego C's at the same setting. You can dial them up to compensate, but I wonder if that gulf would grow wider on the high end (I always stay under 4.0v).

Any of the advanced vape devices that let you change the voltage or wattage will be decent and the vapor depends on the amount of Vg in your liquid, the type of atomizer you use.

I thought I had to be a badass and use the ego at like 4.0+, especially since the charts say it would be OK and in the green. I had a terrible taste develop and it was harsh. Then I read the tank's instructions...3.3-3.7 volts for all 3 coils included (1.8, 2.0 and 2.2ohm I believe). Using the 1.8ohm at 3.3-3.5 and its so perfect. Learning curve baby!
The juice seems to last longer in the tank, has more flavor and doesn't make that popping, gurgling sound. Its a nice, steady "hiss" now.

Was worried as not familiar with a lot of dealers, have heard of some with delays, but WORLDofVAPE has it shipped all ready and on the way :)

They seem to be pretty reputable, I'll probably be buying replacement things in the future.

Honestly look locally. Vape shops are popping up ALL over the place. You want a place locally that can replace an atomizer or supply you with juice when you can't wait for shipping.

It's either that, or stock up on consumables...

Juice I'm not worried about, there is a few places here that mix it even I all ready know of and about every small store has it sitting around.

I started stocking up all ready, bought some replacements when I ordered mine the other day, and they even on sale there now :p
