    Thanks, VC1.

    I really feel bad, due to the fact that I broke down and bought into those damned cigarettes again. The one good thing is that they taste a whole hell of a lot worse, since my vaping experience. Two days ago, I visited one of the local vapor lounges, and had one of my vaping units with me. I desired for them to check it out, and render their verdict to me. They seemed to be, pretty much, in consensus with most others - in that my system wasn't a bad one, at all, to start with. They couldn't say anything about the USB charger, owing to the fact that I didn't have it with me. The leaky tanks, however, seemed to be due to the fact that they were disposables. I explained that I also had a third one, which was a permanent one, that I hadn't yet tried. They seemed to beef the mind that the permanent one might nit exhibit the same leaky conditions. But the disposable ones did figure into the cost factor for the kit, and I wish to get my monie's worth. Right now, I am awaiting a response from Liberty (manufacturer of my kit), to work out a return/replacement manner. I can't wait to get set straight, with this concern, because of knowing how very helpful my vaping kit will be in my being able to permanently stand away from cigarettes.

    I don't know which Clearomizer I have. The little instruction card left much to be desired, as far as such info is concerned. I am hoping, however, that the attached photo will offer a bit of clarification to any readers of this posting. One thing that I did find is that my kit is an eGo C-Twist, instead of (what I had thought was) an eGo Twist. Now, of course, it is possible that they are both one and the same. That, I don't know.

    You know what? Your mention of 'gurgling' brought something to mind; something that I'd thought was normal. Each time that I depress/hold the button - in preparation for a drag - I do get a gurgling sound. In fact, on each successive action I will get that same sound, though not quite as pronounced as on the precedding time. Again, I thought that this was characteristic of proper performance.

    When filling this unit (I am still working on my first fill) I made sure (or, at least, thought I did) that I got no juice down that center, tubular opening, and I always do my best to keep my device in a near upright position. Maybe I have done something wrong, and that the error might indeed be with me - not the vaping unit. I am also going to try slower pulls/drags on my next vape cycle. Maybe that, in itself, might make a difference in the TH strength received.

    But the good thing behind all of this? When I look at myself in the mirror, now, I honestly believe that I am looking at a permanently smoke-free man. This eGo Twist is twisting me totally away from those terrible analogs. And I am SO thankful (my family is, too).

    Yes, you are right about the taste difference.

    I started my vaping, today, with one of the sample bottles. That USA Tobacco sample bottle was 18mg nicotine. The larger bottle, of the same flavor (purchased separately from the kit), contained 24mg of nic. I had, initially, assumed that they were both the strength. After this first filling is through, I will start on the larger bottle. Starting at the strongest, and working myself down, is (I feel) the way to go to wean myself off of nicotine completely.

    Hi, Synther.

    My double-unit kit came with a sample pack of favors. There are eight, 3.7ml bottles, and the favors are as follows: Cool Mint, Tropical Breeze, Coffee & Cream, Mandarin Mango, Cherry Slush, Berry Pomegrante, Vanilla Cupcake and USA Tobacco.

    I smoked my last cigarette, a little earlier in the day, and then went about filling my eGo Twist. I powered it on, gave it one pull, and powered it back down. I just wanted to see that it WAS a functioning unit. I have to say that I was quite impressed. The flavor was a bit different from what I have been used to, from analogs, but that was to be expected. I got a good hit, but there was an aftertaste left in my mouth, which wasn't too bad, but something else that I will have to get used to. The flavor that I tried was the USA Tobacco one, due to thinking that it would be the closest to what I had already been inhaling. I had also bought a larger bottle of the USA Tobacco flavor, but will eventually get around to trying all of the flavors out. However, no complaints. I know that change requires transitioning, and that is a passage which can (in THIS situation) more easily be traveled when focus is kept on the extreme benefits to be realized.

    By the way, I just happened across a Quit Smoking Banner that I thought was really nice to have. Found it on this very site, and couldn't wait to get it attached to my signature. I have my actual quit date set for tomorrow, because of the fact that I finished off my last two analogs earlier today. Tomorrow, I will start a new day in a new way.

    Hi.

    My name is Nathan, and I am new here. I am also new to vaping - having bought my first vaping kit just yesterday. I purchased the two-unit, EGO Twist kit, and really looking forward to it helping me emerge victorious over those nasty cigarettes. I started smoking when I was just twelve years old, and am now 64. I average about 1-1/2 packs of cigs per day, and had been wanting - for some time, now - to quit. Out of a pack of cigarettes, I only really enjoyed 4-5 of them (after a meal, cup of coffee, or alcohol). The other 15-16? Just out of habit. There were many, many times that I'd just sit around with a lit cigarette between my fingers and (between drags) disgustingly watch the line of smoke trial up from the tip of the cig. I wanted to quit, and tried a number if things. I tried acupuncture, the patch (in conjunction with Welbutrin), as well as the Smoke51 Ecig. The patch/Welbutrin pairing proved better than the other methods tried, and it lasted for six weeks. But I messed up by journeying to that wrong side of the fence again, due to a very pressing matter, and haven't been able to find that GOOD START again. Hopefully, I am now on to something that WILL allow me to put on much larger gloves against this addiction.

    Last year, a friend of mine introduced his vaping unit to me. He allowed me to try it, and it seemed like it was pretty neat. I could get the flavor, but not the hit that I was used to with analog cigs. I kinda put it out of my mind, because of that. Yesterday, though, I went out to the reservation and grabbed a look at their such units. They had the EGO Twist kit, with variable intensity adjustment, and a tester to let me try it out. On this unit I WAS able to adjust for the amount of 'hit' that was desired. So, I bought one of the kits. I have not used it yet, as I was finishing up my last analogs, first. I only have two cigarettes left, and I have vowed not to buy another pack again. I REALLY DO want to put cigarettes forever behind me, and I applaud each and every member, here, for embarking on that same endeavor.
