Vape-heads? Do You Vape?

Hardware/Vendor review:
I just got my eGo-VV from Apollo and I'm totally loving it. I do still use my pen-style batteries, they're less noticeable while stealth-vaping.

I've gotten all my gear from Apollo, mostly cause they've gotten good reviews/ratings, they're a local company and their customer service is excellent.

They didn't have a VV starter kit, so I just bought the battery (http://www.apolloecigs.com/ego-varia...e-p/abegov.htm), 2 CE4 clearomizers (Stardust) and a converter so I could use my existing cartomizers on the VV. Apollo often has discount coupons and I took advantage of that. Oh, and shipping's free on orders over $30. My total was $40.08.

I've noticed that if you've already got some hardware, buying a starter kit may not be the best bet (but may be). You may not need a 2nd wall charger or car charger, you may not need the included clearos/cartos if you already have the correctly threaded ones. If you've got juice, you like, you may not need to get that either.

Anyway, I'm totally loving my VV, I like the digital readout and battery life indicator, but I'm geeky that way.

What has been a fail for me is the clearomizers; they really mute the flavor of my juice. Now my cartos on the VV.... heaven.

So I'll be buying more 510 blank cartos and trying different tank types cause even thought I don't mind loading cartos, it would be nice to not have to as often.

Juice reviews:
Disclaimer - taste/flavor is really subjective.

Apollo's juices are okay, I've had better. Of their flavors I like RY4 and Tobacco. I think they're pricy but given I'm not a fan I would think that.

Heather's Heavenly Vapes - big fan here. They're my go-to Vanilla (Vanilla Dream), tobacco (Legend) and coffee (Mocha Java smooth). They also have this really, really good vanilla mint. I've also tried (and like) the pear and this thing called Angels Kiss which is a cool, fruity thing.

EC Blends - my 'best bang for the buck' juice. I lurve their menthol (New Harbor). I like their Vanilla and they have a very good RY4. I've tried a few of the Dragon series, but only Dragon's Milk appealed to me (think of a mild horchata).

Surprisingly, the bacon was good, except it didn't taste like bacon - it tasted like maple, but smells like bacon and that worked for me. I may not buy it again but it was fun.

Tasty Vapors is one I'm going to be trying. One co-worker swears by these guys and I've gotten a few hits of some of the flavors. They have the most ass-kicking cinnamon (atomic cinnacide) and it will crack a tank so be careful. The mango ice cream is one I'll be buying as well.

Call me blasphemous, but I'm not a fan of AiV. Of the 16 flavors I've tried there were only 2 I'd consider getting again. I liked Twas Brilling (blackberry crumble) and would definitely get that again, the other was Frost Blossom (mandarin-menthol) and I might get that again.

I don't think it's AiV as much as me liking stronger flavors. I find AiV too subtle for my tastes.
