Your Vaping Hits & Misses of 2011 . . .

[Perpetua]

Just curious and having a random moment wondering what everyone else purchased last year that worked for them and the ones that didn't . . .

My high point was the advent of Variable Voltage devices, not because I wanted to blow my brains out at 6v especially, but more the versatility VV brings to vaping.

My worst buy ( fortunately inexpensive ) were the Smart Carts, a great concept that failed to deliver.

Although overall, my personal experience of all the gear I've bought has been pretty much positive.

Well I'll never completly give up my Riva/Tornado, but my 2 best finds this year have been verey's baby monster & clear DC cartos.

Worst find...smokeymisers. Messy, rubbish throat hit.

Oh now where do i start

The highlight of my vaping purchase/taking from my hubby was the provari, ugly looking thing i thought when he bought it, but wow once i tried it there was no going back

Also there was the GGTS which again i didnt purchase, i don't know if any of you remember but i was lucky enough to win this at vapefest I love this one, its beautiful

The one that i thought i would love and sadly didnt was the stealth, while this one was stunning to look at i just couldn't get used to it, i found it so uncomfortable to hold but it found a loving home, was used as a swapsie for the provari with hubby

[hissie]

I got my GGTB from Imeo. We swapped mods a while ago. As perpy will verify I was so looking forward to owning one & it has unfortunatly not been able to live up to my expectations. I hardly ever use it as it just doesn't do the job.

I will keep trying it tho' as I haven't given up hope.

Even tho' I've been vaping quite a while, I'm still not as "tooled" up as others on this forum. I survive on juice & the bits I've had for a while lol.

Aww Hissie im sorry you didn't get on with yours, just goes to show what works for one doesn't work for another

Iv been lucky with my wins and borrowing of hubby so im sorted for the moment until another shiny takes my eye

[hissie]

As with anything I might have got a duffer lol.

There dosen't seem to be anyone else who dosen't get on with the GG range.

[bel]

Maybe, but im not sure what could be wrong with it but as much as i love mine, i still prefer given the choice to use the provari it just hits the spot everytime

Woooo good thread

Highs- Buying my GGTS, it rocks my socks, love everything about it, a pleasure to own, hold and vape, stick any battery in, anything on the end and its all good, have the UFS as well now and have an order in for the Odysseus, want another one

Lows-the Booster and dual coil mega carto

Biggest high though was finding vaping, this forum and you guys and a new hobby

[Perpetua]

That's a shame about your GGTB Hissie, as you were indeed so looking forward to getting it.

Ooooo, an Odysseus Sandra!

Good for you, look forward to hearing how you get on with it . . . did you manage to get it from Cam, or did you have to go further afield?

A random moment Perpy? I often have them

What worked for me? Well, first of all the Riva which got me into vaping. Next my box mods which were a cheap and effective introduction to 5volt vaping. Finally of course the Lavatube and variable voltage. In other words all of the battery ends of my PV's!

Much more difficult are the things you stick on it. My favourite is still the cartomiser and I like most of the variants I have used - SR,LR, DC, different sizes etc. I am still trying to get a number of other things to work to my satisfaction (LR atties, carto tanks, RTA etc.) and actually the only thing I have completely given up on is the bud tank atomiser - it works very well and lots of people like it but it just has a funny taste for me.

All the way to Australia Perpy :-[

So long as it arrives though

[Perpetua]

The odd time I've ordered from Oz, on Ebay, the shipping has been amazingly fast, so hope you don't have to wait too long for your Ody Sandra . . . I was tempted to buy one from there myself, but for once resisted.

The Buds do seem to be variable though Dave, so I don't think your experience is isolated . . . the flavours you're using could maybe have a bearing?

Dare I say, Caramel & Butterscotch taste splendid in them.

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

Well they not back to work till the 3rd so as it stands it just says 'processing' and I have had an email saying payment recieved, so just crossing fingers that I get an email to say all is well on wed or whenever :-)

[josieanna]

only 2 months into it but loved both my riva and screw driver, though my daughter loved the screw driver that much, she nicked it! But if it stops her smoking, shes welcome!

I think I prefer the ones you press the button before vaping best dunno why really? my next buy is determinately the lava tube though without a doubt, cant wait to get that beauty!

Still cant get over how much I wanted a look a like e cig, i couldnt care less now, everyone is used to seeing me with the Riva, they dont bat an eye lid!

ps just realised 2 whole months, 2 months woop!

[hissie]

I know folk who won't entertain vaping because e-cigs don't look like analogs. They would rather smoke than be seen with any e-cig...very bizarre.

If I come into money, I may have to purchase a few of the mods mentioned
