Thanks for the congratz I can't quite believe I've been off the cigs this long, and have NO intention of ever going back NO desire to whatsoever. I just wish I could get my husband to try this, but nah, he won't!

So, I've been vaping for a week now, using my eGo Twist starter kit from e-smokeireland. Well, that and a few extra clearos. All is going well, but I do have a few questions:

1) I'm using clearos - they seem to come in 2 pieces - the bottom bit which unscrews (the head?) and has the wick in it, and the tank itself. How does this differ from a cartomiser? Does the latter always have some kind of wadding in it to soak up the juice? Is there more than one part to a cartomiser? Do they require you to add drip tips, or do they come with them attached? Why would I choose a carto over a clearo, or vice versa?

2) Can't for the life of me work out what a MOD is - looks like just another battery to me. Please explain!

3) I'm very happy with what I have, but am wondering why people end up with loads of different bits of kit - are some better at some things than others? What is so great about a Provari that makes it cost so much more? Should I aspire to one?

4) Still not sure how I'll know when to change my clearo heads - or, for that matter, my clearos.

5) Why does resistance matter, and what is it?

6) If my clearo runs dry, will it harm it? I've been trying not to let that happen, but no idea whether it's an issue or not.

Thanks to anyone who can help. In some ways, this vaping lark is very easy, but in others it's a minefield of jargon. Can't wait to meet some other vapers face to face (going to the meet in London on the 23rd) so I can see if I'm doing it all 'right'  

Added myself to the attendance list Friday and Saturday at the Premier Inn. Non-smoking room - first time I've been happy to book one of those!

Hello I'm even newer at vaping than you - as you can see from my sig - but have found this to be a very interesting and helpful forum. Welcome - am sure you'll love it as much as I do

I *think* I'm only a member here (the past couple of weeks I've been all over the web, looking at vaping sites), but also post on boards.ie, which has a vaping section, plus I'm on the Irish Vapers Facebook group. This is definitely the friendliest, most informative and most user-friendly forum I've seen, so I'm staying! Thanks for having me

Thanks very much Mark, as it's coming from the UK it'll take a few days to get to me (probably delayed by snow now, of course!), but I'll let you know what I think of it. Pretty sure I'll like it though - I'm back on the Wingnuts Wibble today (sort of a mocha flavour) and I'm really enjoying it. That and Wingnuts Honeywood are my favourites to date, though am waiting on my Vanilla Custard (Wingnuts again) and Chocolate Donut to steep - have had a sneaky taste and am looking forward to them!

Broke even on the cost of the starter kit today - after only 5 days of giving up the cigs This makes me very happy. I'll be even happier in a week or so, when I break even on the cost of all the various juices, clearos, drip tips and so on that are wending their way to me. OK, so I may have overspent a bit, but the beauty of it all is that not buying the cigs makes it possible to be a bit indulgent and still come out spending less over all. If I stop spending, that is. Which I will. Soon. Ish. Honest
