Hmmm....

Is one juice darker than the other? Darker fluids seem to "cook" a *little* faster, and more quickly if it's one you chain vape because it'll get hotter if you're chain vaping vs the occasional vaping. All juice can cook down, just because they're the same pg/vg blend, doesn't mean that the base flavors don't react differently to heat - they're gonna have different flavor ingredients. Also, different companies use different nicotine bases, different brands of pg and vg (yes, there are different kinds of all three) and those are mitigating factors in the "cooking" of juices

Juice that gets cooked down is not going to kill you, and you can juice keep adding new juice to it as long as you aren't getting a burnt flavor.

When it cooks, it also destroys my cartomizer. I think I'll stick with the A Quiet Morning as my main vape. Plus, I like that I can order it in 50 ml.

So, today ordered online with SmokeyStick.com and bought the EgoC starter kit for only $48 and an EgoC Twist starter kit for only $32.95....best prices on these I have found ANYWHERE! Now time to order some of those delicious juices y'all have recommended on this thread. Thanks all!

and, yes, that Ego-C starter kit is the full 2 unit kit with the extras in it, not just one!

I started vaping as a way to quit smoking, is that true for you?

If it is, how successful has vaping been for you?

For me, vaping's been quite successful. Yes, I've had a few cigarettes since I started vaping, but I've had fewer in the 3 months I've been vaping than in 1 day of smoking.

Yes, I cut down to 1/3 of what I smoked in regular cigarettes and that is going down even more. Funny how vaping the delicious flavors is like having a dessert and quitting hasn;t made me want to eat more to compensate.

That's definitely an added benefit. An interesting thing for me is I'm per-diabetic so I try to stay away from desserts anyway. My 'sugar' downfall is fruit.

Since I've been vaping, my blood glucose has dropped and is consistently hovering at it's lowest point. Technically, 1 point lower and I wouldn't be considered per-diabetic. This alone is a reason to keep vaping.

While vaping isn't a 100% substitution for smoking, the added benefits sure make it way worthwhile.

I started vaping to quit smoking and it has been very successful. It's different than smoking and I had an adjustment period before I settled into vaping as naturally as I smoked a cigarette. Whereas I smoked a full cigarette, then put it out and did not light another cigarette for a while (about 20 mins), I started vaping and was basically chain vaping for the first few weeks. This worried me. But, now I am not doing it was much and my smoking has dramatically decreased. I think as long as you don't expect it to be exactly like smoking, you can definitely use this as a method to quit. I've tried other NRT (nicotine replacement therapy) products like the patch and gum and did okay with them, but still had the drive to smoke when I could. Now, I can go an entire day without smoking and really don't miss it much. I wish I had tried this years ago when someone first mentioned it to me and I ignored the recommendation at the idea of it not working.

Meri, I get a lot more than 3 hour battery life on the Twist, hon. I can use it all day/night without having to charge. I do think in the future I may get that Ego-VV, it looks interesting. The dual coil tanks are superior to regular ones. I also bought a Nova tank but not used it yet as I want to sample all the juices I've bought recently before smoking the whole 3.4 ml of a particular favor. There is such a difference in the dual coils, meri, you may want to get some.
