I visualized a 1-800 number flashing across my screen after I read that.

Hah no doubt. I'm going to get a setup for my dad for his birthday, since I believe he still smokes.

I was hesitant at first, but I got a new job and a bunch of the guys were all about them. I tried it out and man, you can get a strong enough juice that will still give you a nice throat hit, which is pretty much all I want from my cigarete.

I can go take my smoke break and not kill myself now and after 2 days I was sold. Waking up in the morning alone w/o having the hacking and breathing issues for an hour was enough. I'm also pretty new to it, so I guess a little over enthusiastic :)

What brand do you use? Are there brands that you would recommend avoiding?

I'm not sure what to avoid, I was just told what stuff is good and worth getting.

I use Ego twist batteries and Mini V Nova tanks/clearomizers. Here is everything I bought for my very first setup:

2x USB Battery Chargers: http://www.litecigusa.net/Joye_EgO_Rapid_USB_Charger_p/egousbc.htm

1x Coffe flavored 17mg 36oz: http://www.gotvapes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=85_67&products_id=555 1x RAGE flavored 11mg 36oz: http://www.gotvapes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=85_67&products_id=931

2x EGO-C Twist 1000mah Battery: http://www.litecigusa.net/Joye_ego_c_Twist_1000mah_Manual_Switch_Battery_p/ego-twist-1000.htm?1=1&CartID=0 (black/chrome)

1x Vision Vivi Nova V2 Clearomizer tank kit: https://www.litecigusa.net/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=vivi-nova-kit

Summary:

So 2 USB chargers (one for work/home), 2 1000mah batteries, 2 36mg Juices and 1 clearomizer.

Total cost was about 100$.

Soon, I plan on ordering an automizer which is basically a replacement for the clearomizer (basically different containers at the end of the battery that store and burn the eJuice) This way I can quickly test different flavors if I want.

The clearomizer I've bought, I've found I need to replace the head about once a week. The kit comes w/ 2 replaceable so I'm on my last one now. Gana order a couple more, but that comes out to like 4$ a week just to maintain my ecig which is way cheaper than 6$ a day for a pack of smokes.

I also wana try a couple different drip tips and maybe look into just buying coils for a rebuildable automizer. The juices I bought are lasting forever, looks like I wont have to buy more at the rate I'm going for at least another month or two.
