As of right now it's been one year since I got off analogs. Bought my first eGo T pass through on May 10, 2012 but still smoked while I got into vaping. Each day I smoked and wanted less until May 15th, I got off analogs completely and began vaping only. To be frank I've lit up a couple of times to satisfy my curiosity to see if I still had any desire to smoke again. After a couple drags I'd have to go brush my teeth and take a shower to get the taste out of my mouth and the smell out of my hair. Since then it's been a wild ride while I've explored all kinds of new vapor related toys, found this forum and met some wonderful people who have been so very helpful. They've taught me so much and in turn I hope I've been able to pass some of that knowledge on to new vapers. I want to thank Christopher for creating this forum and for working tirelessly to make it even better. A special thank you to Kitsune for pushing direct dripping so much that I finally got the nerve to try it, and also to Blucavvy, Jeffb, Mark, McQuinn, VaperRon, Uma, and Rixter who patiently answered so many of my questions when I got stuck. I know I'm forgetting to name some people here but you have my wholehearted gratitude for your help and making me feel welcome. After all the different methods tried, all the times I've tried to quit and failed miserably I'm so happy to be able to say, "This is it. I've been off cigarettes for one whole year. I hope to be able to say something like that next year...and the next...and the next...

I've had nothing but great times from this supplier! I've ended up snagging a total of about 4-5 ordereds from them and with Priority Shipping I've received them all within 2-3 business days! They are quick speedy and have very reasonable pricing. I've snagged some of their hourly deals;which are quite awesome and I check in too often, including a Silver Bolt for about 24-25 bucks and I love the little thing. Bought a few necessities including cartos that come neatly labeled for easily recognized Ohm resistances. All in all nothing but a great experience with this site. hope I did this right and posting a new topic isn't a bad thing for reviews on possibly known sites :

Congrats Tam! I will be making a post like this in 362 days!

Without your encouragement I wouldn't be here, Mark. It's been a great first year, Ron. Thanks for being a part of it!

Thanks, Ghost. I'm so much happier vaping than I ever was when I was smoking. So many new toys and new flavors to try...

You will find a variety of opinions, for me I like them all. each one is slightly different, couldn't tell you exactly what is different. All of mine give me excellent vapor, flavor and throat hit. I use: Vivi nova tank (1.8 resistance is my preference), DCT-Dual coil tank, cartomoizer and tank system(more complicated, but still use it), Evod BCC, ego CC clearomizer (works best with my fruit flavors) But my all time sweet spot, even 4 years and may gadgets later.....is dripping.

That's pretty intense. My part time "job" is more laid back but it can get pretty loud and aggressive. That's me on the far right with my weapon of choice, my alien axe.

OK, I'm jumping the gun a little bit because I just received it today but I thought I'd start this thread for everybody's personal experiences, questions and comments about the Joyetech Twist vv battery. I ordered mine Sunday, got shipped out Monday, in my mailbox Tuesday from Mike & Carol's Internet Store. They have the best prices I have seen and obviously fast service. I chose the 650mah battery for $20.99 + $2.99 shipping. 1000mah sells for $24.49. Here are my preliminary findings of my 650mah twist: It is nearly identical in size and shape as a regular 1000mah ego battery. (mabey 1mm longer and same diameter) The twist dial on the bottom has etchings that are hard to see but go from 3.2v to 4.8v. There is no click between volt settings and the dial turns about 270 degrees, 3/4 of a full turn. The light is green on the charger! First vape at 3.2 with ego c setup and lr coil: It works. A little on the light side, now at 4.8.... Definite voltage change but this thick juice isn't working well with c-tank, switching to standard 510 atty... It's working like a champ! Very nice. More to come after I play with it for a while and compare it to my ProVari mini.

Don't beat yourself up! Smoking has/had a HUGE hold on all of us. I know people who don't vape and gave up the sticks years ago and even now they say they feel like a smoke every now and then. I guess we still have vaping to 'get us through', so to speak. When I first began vaping, I was EXTREMELY proud and amazed at the fact that I immediately dropped from a very heavy smoker, down to just 2 a day. The very first one in the morning and the last one at night. I never felt like one through the day at all. Then I fell off the vaping wagon for various reasons and went back to the horrid things full time for a few months. This time around, whilst I am enjoying vaping (when it just works!), I have not managed to get myself down to those 2 sticks a day. I still have an analogue more often than I'd rather and I am very disappointed in myself. But I have figured that if I push on I will kick these horrible nasty critters eventually and that's my goal. Geez, you are doing far better than me, so just pat yourself on the back and remember these cravings will come and go for years perhaps. Ignore the little buggers and show them you are stronger than they are.
