Hello wise people of the forum. Noob w. questions

[giles]

I kind of doubt you'll find a bundle like that fitz. More natural for suppliers to ship Ego carts with Ego battery.

So I think you'll have to make up your own bundle.

Give us a list here and we'll let you know if it seems like a good list; or order it all from somebody like VapeEscape and ask them to check that you haven't left anything out

Also, you haven't talked about juices - do you know what you are looking for?

[FirinBlanks]

I'd definitely recommend a the twist but I'd say you'd be better off with the mini nova as otherwise it'll end up very top heavy.
Whatever nova you decide on (if you do) you'll want a DCT plinth to make it look a bit better, avoid snagging on things and improve/vary the draw.
For your info, it's a type B for a Mini, and type A for a bigg'un

To give you an idea, below is my 1000mah Ego C-Twist with a mini nova and DCT Type B plinth.

Thanks for all your help FB and giles

After much prevarication I've just ordered an Ego C starter kit, + twist battery + mini nova and the plinth thing as well as a pick and mix of Grizwalds Gourmet juice - all from VapeEscape. This should cover me for redundancy, giving me a Vaper for work and two for home. Had no idea which juice to order so just went for the ones which I liked the names of, still I suppose it's all about experimentation.

Oh plops just realised I'll need another USB charger, unless I can charge the Ego's from my Gamucci charger?

[Chrissie]

I don't think we ever found out what the Gamucci thread is, fairly certain it's not a 510 fitting though, so I doubt you will be able to use the charger on your egos.

I'm with Giles on this one...sounds like you've made your choice though and it's a good one.

I have no idea about the latest cartomisers. I'm a boge addict. I buy them in the 100's cos I never want to run out. A boge in a tank will last me (heavy vaper) about 3 days. That's okay for me. They're cheap enough and 510/ego seems to be a standard fitting..

Carto wise there's so much choice...same with bottom bits (power). I got a few cheapos (well they look expensive now - about £30-40 each if not less) before investing in a silver bullet. Very happy with it and am waiting on a touchwood. Fires well every time. Occasionally needs a wee wipe out in the connector. Nothing more. I also have a few as back up like an ego battery etc. These are more backup devices. I hold onto batteries. You never know when you might need them! I got a mini argento that took small and chunky batteries and was delighted that small and normal thickness batteries fitted it too. Then I sold the argento. But I still have a backup.

I don't have a whole dresser of e-cigs but backups are important. It's not like you can get a decent one anywhere. Likewise when you find a carto you like - back up and e-liquid is the same...

Good to have you on board! I messed about with Vapestick stuff for a couple of months- first their e-cig a like, then their max, which seems to be a bit ego- like. (Although I get the impression from here that the ego is much better)

If your ego doesn't cut the mustard, don't be disheartened. I didn't like the Vapestick and carried on smoking, although I could see that there was definitely potential in this e-cig lark.

A quick go on a mates Provari was like a revelation- I spent the rest of the day craving another go and ordered one that very night. Since I got it, I have not smoked a single cigarette and I don't believe I ever will. It's worth 10 times what I paid for it to be honest.

Hello fitzroy and Welcome from meee

[fitzroy]

Well, I placed the order on Friday afternoon, expecting Monday delivery I had it sent to my office. However the VapeEscape dispatch pixies were obviously more efficient than I gave them credit for as we had a Royal Mail "sorry you weren't in" card in the weekend mail. I didn't manage to pick it up until this morning and have just charged one of the regular Ego-C batteries, currently vaping a Grizwalds Liquorice Tabac, and my god it's yummy.

Smoking with the Gamucci compared to the Ego C is like eating Ravioli from a can compared to eating Ravioli in a Tuscan hillside Osteria. Have I made a mistake ordering all the extra gubbins when this is so damn satisfying? I'll tell you when the Twist battery is charged and I'll bang on my mini nova.

Which e juice should I use, you decide, I've got Hynotique, Aniseed, GY4 and Lubbley Bubbley to select from.

[Chrissie]

Really happy to hear you are so pleased with your kit

I'd suggest trying the Hynotique

[giles]

Glad you're pleased fitzroy.

No, you didn't make a mistake ordering the extra gubbins. You'll want to try different flavours and your tastes change as you get used to vaping, Some flavours do much better at higher voltage.

I haven't tried any of those flavours yet. So many to try.

[FirinBlanks]

The twist is much the same as the standard Egos but give you more flexibility with the heat that the flavours vape at, some taste great at 3.2, some taste fab at 4.8.

It's a great way of trying out different flavours, you'll find that some you hated, taste loads better at a higher voltage.

[fitzroy]

Well I've got the twist all set up with the Mini Nova Plinth etc. Tried the Hypnotique at Chrissie's suggestion. First thoughts were bleurrgh, but this was in a box fresh Mini Nova. The flavour has improved considerably since then, still not 100% but it's moved up from a bleurggh to a meh, it'll probably be an mmmm tonight.

So I've been rocking the regular Ego at work and the Ego C at home. Ego C definitely better at home as I have bigger cravings and you can get that throat hit when you bang up the voltage. From the flavours I bought I have also tried the GY4 which is really nice and the Aniseed which is quite similar to the Liquorice Tabac.

So thanks all, no sign of upgradeitus yet (hey it's only been 3 days) but definitely happy with the kit I purchased, not a single cigarette craving since, plenty of vape cravings though

[Chrissie]

Well done Fitzroy #icon_thumbsup#
