I've noticed so many users on here claim that they've been analog free for however many days, months or years. I wish to have a similar claim to make, but I have returned to analogs so many times since starting to vape regularly... Especially around my analog smoking friends. I can't put my finger on what it is that still draws me back. If anyone has struggled with this and overcome it, what did you do differently? Or, what gave you the ultimate motivation to stick to vaping in the end? I would absolutely love to only vape... Everything about it is better, health-wise and even psychologically, it is more pleasing, I can be more energetic, etc. So why do you think I break down and get a pack every now and then? I get the same urge to go buy a pack that I did before I vaped whenever I was out of cigs. Thanks for any and all tips/comments.

Some cars do. In my car I actually have two ports, one that runs only when the car is on and another that allows cell phone charging etc when the car is off.

Mine too! But then my truck is 18 yrs. old hehehe Welcome back Uma,we missed you

Surveyed..

Whoa. I do because it's fun and keeps my hand out of the cookie jar Ha! Spend a lot more on my video game addiction..

I agree with mcquinn why even start? Am I missing something?

I vape, therefore, I am. Thank you.

Heck yah!!! I started out with these on my 808 manual batteries, ( I dont recommend an auto battery as juice can leak in and cause not only failure but battery death) http://www.valuevapor.com/VV/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=194&zenid=cc6184970edfea1848d920399b371142 and even still I purchased a drip shield for each atomizer, this will help from juice leaking if you over drip and it happens all the time... http://www.valuevapor.com/VV/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=569&zenid=cc6184970edfea1848d920399b371142 For my egos.... I use http://www.valuevapor.com/VV/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=312 You can use any 510 atomizer with an ego... And even though I prefer the Low resistance ones, you can try others, this is just a starting point... ALSO.. I am not in any way affliated with Value Vapors, but will say that they had a great assortment of supplies, their prices were reasonable and their shipping was very fast! With a new atty, I drip about 4-5 drops in and let it set for a couple minutes, add a couple more and vape. When flavor or vapor falls off, normally 5-7 puffs, add 2-3 more drops...repeat as needed. Also a lot of attys have PG priming fluid in them...blow as much out as you can, they may have a funky taste the first few puffs from that... I hated mine the first day or two, only because it was "different" ... and now... I have found that I am sampling through juices like no other.. Its easy, have great flavor, plumes of vapor, and no more wasted carts, as I mentioned above!

I think I was predisposed toward vaping prior to knowing anything about it. First off, I'm a gadget freak. I love anything that requires pushing or clicking a button to do something else. So ecigs had a built in appeal for me. Secondly, I wasn't getting much satisfaction from smoking anymore. I'd continue to go through a pack a day, but it was more habit than enjoyment. When the price jumped $1 overnight, I decided to find a cheaper cigarette source. Put out some online queries and someone recommended an electronic cigarette. Purchased one and "that was all she wrote". But I'm not you. And you're not the people who share their vape experiences online, so it's unfair to rate what you experience against everyone else. If your goal is to quit smoking and you smoke one less cigarette than you normally would, that's PROGRESS. Before long you'll be smoking TWO less. If you toss your ecig in the trash and say, "to hell with it"... ...CONGRATULATE YOURSELF for at least giving it a try.

The more we tell ourselves we can't have something, the more we want it...... you will quit when the time is right. currently you smoke less than you did before...thats an acheivement in itself.

I agree with Wendall. You have to really want to quit and stick to it. If you fail a few times just think of how many analogs you avoided and build on that.

I have had my eGo tank for a few weeks now and have encountered a few problems but have also learned how to work around these problems to make using this tank system a little less aggrevating. I have read on here how some others have found the system a little lacking and I'm hoping that some of my tricks/suggestions may improve their results with the tank. So, I hope this helps Leaking Issues: -When attaching your tank atty to the battery, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. I've noticed that the tighter I attach the atty, the more often my atty leaks. So, basically, when I attach my atty to the battery, I will screw it on until you feel it catch. At that point, I give it just the minor twist and that's it. -When you start noticing the "draw" becoming more and more like sucking a thick milkshake thru a straw, it's time to blow out the atty. This is a sign the atty is getting flooded and soon, it will start leaking out of the holes near where the atty attaches to the battery. By sucking on the cart when the "draw" gets harder, you are just pulling more and more juice into the atty and leaking is not far away. Personally, I blow from the top where the cart plugs in. Dry Hits: -When you have a dry atty either from it being new or having just blown it out, you will want to give a few good hard draws before activating the battery to actually vape. This will pull liquid into the wicking system. -DO NOT FILL TANKS TOTALLY FULL. I'm not sure why, but a completely filled tank will not drip juice properly and you will get dry hits. I think you need that little air bubble to help force the fluid into the wicking system. I usually will fill mine leaving an area about the thickness of two dimes empty. This seems to help with eliminating dry hits. I also have noticed that sometime you get a "plastic" taste in the juice. I have found out that I notice this mostly with tanks that have been pre-filled and have sat in the tank for longer than a day. So, I try to only fill what I think I will use that day. If I do end up filling a tank and not vaping it by the end of the day, I will pour the liquid back in the bottle instead of storing it in the tank for the next days use. Well, I hope some of this will help those enjoy their eGo tank system more with less problems. The tank system is far from perfect, but it does the job when it is inconvenient to DD. I'm sure some if not all of my "tricks" are not new to some but I did want to share my experiences with VT in the hopes that I may be able to help some fellow vapors enjoy their tanks system more and possibly eliminate any problems that I have read that some are encountering.
