Thanks brian. Checked a couple of those out already and will check the other 2 out tonite.

A couple more ?'s if y'all can stand it. If anyone else out there is pancreatically challenged (diabetic)can you tell me if vapeing affects your blood sugars? I would guess not, but diabetes is a strange animal sometimes. Why, since e-cigs are not banned,controled or illeagle, why are there no brick and mortar outlets for this product? The suppliers are located stateside right? Is there someone who is considered the "father" or the original pioneer all this? GO HAWKEYES

thanks. Travel sucks anyway and traveling and being a smoker just sucks twice as bad. Vaping may just make it somewhat bearable. Was looking @ the store a little earlier and noticed a lot of items out of stock (cartimizers, certain liquids, etc....)does this happen often? Who are the other reliable suppliers that you use? Getting close to pulling the trigger after I talk to my PFA (personal financial allower...wife)and was putting together a wish list, but was finding a lot of the items I was wanting not available. Was hoping to make 1 purchase and not have to bounce around to different sites but maybe that's just the nature of the beast. GO HAWKEYES

I travel a fair bit for work. Airport security ever been a problem for anyone? Not that it matters much, I already get cavity searched every time( type 1 diabetic/pumper. pump sets it off every time even though dr.faa security **** assures me that it can't possibly be my pump) so I get the twice over at security all the time anyway. As a side note, my insulin hobby is already expensive so any tip or trick to save a yen or 2 is a goal of mine. I know none of the upstanding people on this forum would ever break any rules, but does anybody here "know a guy" that has ever vaped in an airport bathroom stall or even at 30,000 ft? how did that work out. Non smoking hotel rooms ever a problem? It sucks to make that 10 min. walk outside at a hotel. I had a 100 ?'s floating around in my head earlier. pretty blank now( bau) so I'll check back later when I think of them. thanks in advance. GO HAWKEYES

Thanks everyone, you have been very helpful. I have other ?'s, so how do you guys handle this? Should I start a new topic with each stoopid question, or try to keep them all together in one long inane thread. I would think that multiple threads by the same newbie would lead to mass face palming on the part of the veterans here, as I'm sure everything I ask has been asked a thousand times. GO HAWKEYES

hoping it's a "healthier" replacement with the ultimate goal of quitting analogs.(lol...sorry, that term just cracks me up and I don't know why), but also have to some extent a compulsive/obsessive personality, so the possibilty of me taking out a 2nd mortgage or resorting to crime to pay for my new "hobby" probably isn't to far fetched.

brian and snubber, thanks for the replies and insight. Feel like I'm starting to "get it" but also understand that until I'm actually holding the hardware and start vapeing I probably won't really "get it." kind of have in my mind how it will probably go, for example I will probably use carts while at work, commuting, etc....and will more than likely direct drip when at home and have more time. In other words will be spending lots of $$$ at the onset on alot of available paraphenalia, but hey, if I don't spend [t my wife will,lol. thanks again. GO HAWKEYES

Okay, here's the deal. been a analog{I find this term to be very humorous}smoker for 35+ years. For the majority of that time I have been a RYO guy{hand roller, DRUM rocks}. Being a hand roller and smoking roughly 40 a day, I would guess you could call me a "hardcore" nic. addict. Got a b-day coming up soon and have decided that my gift to myself is going to be an attempt at purging myself from this filthy habit. I have been lurking on this board for a few months, and have to say that it has been very informative, and the vet's here are very helpful and patient with the uninformed. I hope that trend continues, as I have a few ?'s that I would like to ask. {bear with me as I know that most of these have been answered many times before, but I'm just too lazy today to go back through all the posts and find them, plus i would like to have them all together so I can print them off.} #1. I have already decided that I'm going to get an EGO. (think I may have heard a poster or 2 recommend these). Have a few ?'s. It comes with a 650 batt. or you can get the 900. Other than ?longer life? what diff does this make?. Does this make a difference with the lr carts/atomizers or not? #2. Drip tips. Must haves? It's just an alternative form of direct dripping right? #3.How quickly do the consumables go? I know this is subjective, but what is a reasonable life expectancy of an atty, cart/cartomizer etc... and probably most important, how long can I expect a battery to last? #4. I would assume that a good amount of the operating budget for a pv would be for the juices. I've looked at the dyi juice section and it seems relativly simple, but are homemade juices as good and are they ultimatley cheaper to produce? #5. Looking for the best deal on an ego xl(you know, the one with 12 batteries, 5 gallons of juice, 2 hookers and a bottle of scotch for around $50). If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. #6. Could someone update me on the latest in regards to my government trying to control yet another facet of my life(on top of taking 1/3 of my income and then taxing the hell out of me on everything I buy with the 2/3rds the "allow" me to keep.) What is the latest on the fda and the the e-cig situation? Thanks in advance for any help/advice that may be forthcoming. GO HAWKEYES
