Im not sure what type of battery you are using, if it is an ego battery then it likely has the 510 capability.. If all this is true, then I recommend the Vivi Nova,($14+/-) or the Vivi Nova mini ($7+/-) (keeping in mind these come with a plastic tank) I would then purchase a metal "spare" tank, in which you could use your cinnamon in!! The spare tanks can be purchased in a variety of colors and run about 4 bucks or less! Hope this helps!!

For the record, everything about vaping is confusing in the beginning, s0 do NOT feel like you are alone!! I started on the 808 batteries with cartridges, I got bored and spent hours reading and learning.. I quickly turned my attention towards the Ego batteries, and the vivi mini novas, (1.8 ohm coil heads) and tons of juice.. Honestly, it got easier from there. I now have 8 egos, 900-1100 mAh, about 8 mini novas, and a tote full of other things that I have tried.. I wish you the best, it can be frustrating but is so much better for you in the long run. Im glad you found something that makes your decision to stay away from "analogs" easier..

I totally agree with JeffB, but would add an additional vivi nova, or a spare tank or two.(if you go that route) OR... you double everything He said... and know that no matter when you are able to order/receive more, you will have enough to tide you over!!! Im not going anywhere but I keep tons on hand, and am always ordering more!!! Good Luck on your endeavors!

I use the Vivi mini for my standard ego batts. I started with a 2.4 ohm coil and hated it... everything tasted burnt and like hot plastic. I found that with the 1.8 my flavors were spot on!! I had such great luck that I have since ordered SEVERAL more with a nice little collection of 1.8 replacement coils to have on hand! I do recommend the adapter, I think it offers more stabily, and is more appealing visually!

After a recent attempt of DIY mixing I have found myself with a simple yet perplexing question.. (please keep in mind that I am new to mixing so I will apologize for my lack of knowledge) After mixing a 5 ml bottle, and sampling 1 ml in a cart, how do you then tweak your "left overs" with consistancy? Would you recommend just starting over by mixing a new batch with the desired changes (extra flavor, more sweetener etc) I mean, I can add to my original batch, but with a lessor volume remaining I would assume that my future batches would be inconsistant. I hope I make sence to someone!! I know what Im thinking but trying to convey it in my words can be confusing..

Finchx6, wondering if you have found something similar to V2s Sahara? It has been my all day tobacco for several weeks, but at 17 bucks for 25ml am hoping to find something that compares to its undescribable sweet taste..

Heathers Heavenly Vapes, Alice in Vapeland, Vape Dudes, Ms T's Bakery, Johnson Creek, Mt Vapor Baker, and Kick bass vapor are ALL GREAT vendors. All have great service, awesome flavors and with the exception of Alice, ship quickly.

@Uma I have a tote with drawers and they are stuffed so full it is difficult to open, SO... I will also be purchasing a larger tote, with bigger drawers.. haha You can come over for a party anytime! (I'll prolly have even more by then!) @Mega Poster: I'm not only hooked- I have become addicted.. in a good way, I think!! I have always suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder, (vacuum, dust and clean glass 2ce a day, count my steps that sort of thing,) But now some of the cleaning waits, cause now... I must shop for new juices!! If I find something I like, I get two! Thank goodness I can afford this new habit, and as a single mom, I dont have to answer to anyone but my widdle self!!

Heathers heavenly vapes has a NICE sampler, it is reasonable ($10) and everything arrives in a few days! Shipping is cheap, and once you try her stuff, you wont have to look much further... Im hooked! I ordered 2 of her sampler packs, and vaped a few of them the same day..I was so in love I went back and ordered 30ml bottles which are only $13 each!! Good luck

** I need to buy liquid, right? Where could I get a 50/50 or 60/40 VG to PG blend? Does that sound appropriate? There are so many different vendors, and everyone has different tastes.. You will need to purchase some juice for sure, and I personally would recommend ecblends.com, or heathersheavenlyvapes, or vapedudes. I have purchased from at least 10 different vendors and these are the ones I find to have the best juices, but again, as I said, everyone has different tastes, dont be afraid to purchase some samples until you find what is right for you. As for throat hit, I would say that you will need something like 80/20 (good th, lower vapor, IMO) 70pg/30vg or 60pg/40vg. The pg is going to give you the TH, and the vg the vapor. I use a 80pg/20 blend on my tobacco flavored juices, and 70/30 on my tasty juices (mocha, berries etc) Let us know what you decide on! Good luck in your search... (it can be VERY addicting)

Welcome to the forum David.. If your hit seems weak, I would question your juice ratio. A higher pg will give you a decent throat hit. Tell me whatcha got..

I just found and ordered Boba's Bounty from a vendor, who apparently carrys Alien Visions products, It showed an updated stock as of 1/13/13.. http://www.smoktek.com/E-Liquids_c_8.html Hope this helps!

Let me just say this, and then Ill be done.. I have always loved to eat seafood, I was one of Red Lobsters most frequent visitors, one night I ended up in ER after eating lobster.. Anaphylaxis .. Ok..so I had developed a shellfish allergy. I didnt just give up, and throw in the towel, I went back.. After several times of eating Snow/ King Crab, I once again, found myself in ER.. I was allergic to hard shell seafood. Ahhh. But could I eat shrimp? a soft shell? I loved Scampi too... SO... you guessed it.. I went back, ordered me up some scampi and feasted like a queen with NO reaction..Ive been eating shrimp since.. Moral of this story, I didnt make assumptions as to what was wrong, or what I was allergic to, I investigated, and kept trying and found something that worked for me, that didnt serve up with a side of death.. ( For those of you wondering, Yes, I now carry an EPI pen i'm also allergic to Bees/wasps/ etc) It just kinda seems to me, that you are looking for reasons to give up, and if you so choose, thats perfectly fine. But its hard because EVERYONE here wants to be supportive, and helpful in directing you to a better life.. (giving their time to respond, post links, etc) You asked... we tried.. You can do what you want, you certainly dont need anyones approval here to smoke, to vape or to give up. But if you cared enough for yourself to purchase 200 dollars worth of "equipment", It bewilders me, as to why you would just give up so easily..

Vg based? I do believe Vg based products can still contain pg (to carry flavorings etc) You will want to look for something that is "PG free" in order to truly test your theory or your results will be skewed. Unless of course, you are looking for a reason to go back to smoking..

It is absolutely possible you are allergic to something, and taking one puff here and one puff there, isnt going to change it.. Before you give up you need to try a "PG free" juice. If at first you dont succeed, you try, and try again.. (if needed)

I have ordered from V4L, they seem to be a good company near as I can tell. I purchased my initial e-cigs from v2 but also use V4L carts on them,so know that they are compatible in that way. Would you consider helping her fill carts,( at least to help her get started) as an option? Id bet once she saw it done a time or two, it wouldnt be so intimidating. There are some good juice vendors out there that carry PG free products and ultimately, would be cheaper in the long run. Just a thought.

Just out of curiousity, how much fluids are you taking in? I have done lots of research and found that PG can dry a person out, (dry throat, dry mouth,dry eyes, dry cough) Perhaps you are dehydrated and/ or this is just your body adjusting to vaping. None the less, everyone has/ will have different experiences. Personally, I'd recommend investing in some eye drops (some great gel brands out there) and would put up with dry eyes before going back to analogs.. Dont give up!! Dry eyes aren't as bad as lung cancer..

Im new to the forum as well, let me just say this place is full of knowledge, opinions and advice (all the way from ecigs to bad gas and then some) haha Vaping is addictive, and much more enjoyable for me over smoking- Its kinda sorta good to know that this wont kill you. Welcome to VT
