Schoolwork drives my anxiety up the wall to a crazy amount. Friend's vape was the only thing that's really managed to take the edge off. Trust me, I'm looking at other ways of coping, but right now, this seems to be the best. :c
Well, nicotine is good for stress. Just saying you're probably opening a giant can of worms so think about it first. Look for a local shop, try the setup above, get super low nicotine level liquid.

Yeah, I'm thinking about it a lot, don't worry. Just wanted to do research first. The stuff I bummed off my friend was pretty low nicotine levels, so I'd probably stick with that level.

All I know is that I love the Cotton Candy Flavored one. I'm addicted.... all over again.

Something I've noticed is I'm coughing more when vaping compared to smoking regular cigs. I've cut down on real cigs so I should be taking in less toxic stuff overall.

Drink lots more water than you're used to if you aren't already.

Just curious, I know and see hundreds of the vape pens these days but I never really know the costs. Some people tell me they spent over a 100$ on just the pen etc.
What is the cheapest setup? What is the most expensive? What are the ranges of the parts/liquids in prices?
Curious how long it takes to pay for itself.

An average pen costs you probably ~30 $. A good vaporizer should be around 15 $ ( there are plenty of cheaper vaporizers, which are still fine). You can get away with less $ and still get a good experience. Liquids range from 5 to 8 $. A normal liquid should last two and a half vaporizer fillings~ish (average tank size). If you are a heavy smoker ( a paket+ per day) you probably get away with 1 1/2 tank fillings each day.
I can't tell you the exact numbers, because i'm not using e-cigs to replace normal cigs, instead i only use them if i want to smoke in my flat if i'm to lazy to go outside to smoke. And i'm not used to USD prices, but they should be the around the same (eur <-> usd)

I have no self control and refill probably 3-4 times per day (2mL tank) but I don't feel guilty at 6mg.

ego twist [battery] + kanger mini protank [clearomizer] gives you a good low profile vape with decent performance if you're looking to switch from cigarettes. Yeah, some of the custom stuff (things people build by hand or in limited runs) can get pretty expensive but that's mostly for people who enjoy it as a hobby / being an elitist / want to splurge. You can get started at pretty much any time for under $100 (I say this as someone who did) and move on from there if you get the desire / cash to do so.
2 batteries [to rotate through while one charges, or get a passthrough device if you are willing to spend a bit more such as the iTazte VV], 2 tanks [one is a backup], a package of replacement coils, 30ml of juice, you should be good for a week of pleasure and more. Some online businesses offer sampler packs that will send you a bunch of small bottles with different things to try if you're looking to figure out your tastes as well.

My iclear broke. Think some glue gave out at the top or something. Picked up a Kanger Aerotank and so far I fucking love this thing.
They're pricey but its built like a brick shit house and apparently fully replaceable. The tank is pyrex glass, if it cracks somehow you can just throw a new piece in. It also allows you to regulate the amount of airflow when you drag. There's a little threaded knob so you can go full throttle and pull a ton of air or close it off entirely. It's on the large side of things, would fit better on a provari or something. But so far I'm digging it.
Also picked up some grape juice, pretty tasty. Anyone ordered from Mount Baker and got flavor shots? I'm thinking of picking up a gigantic bottle of grape (never having tried it) but I think I'd prefer some extra flavor power but don't want to like go overboard (if that's possible lol)

Nice to find a little community for this on TL.
Ok, now lets go super cheap setup. Most stateside vendors are still sold out, damned Chinese new years. Either way couple of options. http://www.steammonkey.com/SPIDERMONKEY_p/kit-spid.htm $15 Not interested in rebuilding, pick up some of their coils $1.10, at the least I would say you should expect to get a week out of them.
Juice, unless you're making your own you won't find any cheaper than http://www.lucky7vapes.com/ $1.99 for 12ml, or go way big and do $10.99 for 120ml. No complex flavors here, just the simple Flavor West mixes, but its great for its price. You'll likely casually go through maybe 3ml a day.
That's 3 weeks of stuff for less than $25. Worth the investment if you're considering quitting smoking. Good luck!

I'm currently running a Vamo v5 with a protank 3 setup for personal carry and a nemesis clone + igo-w for home vaping
The nemesis clone is fucking AMAZING for flavor and vapor delivery. Rebuildable coils are the way to go if you have the time and patience. You get SOOOOOOO much more flavor and mileage from your juice.
Oh and I'm currently vaping Space Jam Andromeda and Astro as well as Halcyon Cran'chi and Dragon'Chi. I have some People's Vape Manifesto for my coffee flavor and Seduce Juice Jango for my tobacco flavor. Still using Space Jam/Halcyon for my ADV (all day vapes) but the manifesto and jango are both good when I want something more rugged.

Nice! Mods are the next thing on my list, if I ever get to that point. For now, the vision spinner is more than enough. hehe

The mCig is highly recommended to me. has anyone tried that one?
it actually burns tobacco (or w.e. you put in it)
|
Do NOT buy anything cigalike, they've been shown to have higher levels of carcinogens and they don't compare AT ALL to even the most basic vaporizer device. Do yourself a favor and get an iTaste vv v3.0 or an ego twist or something to start. You'll thank me.
|
If you just wanna vape weed straight then why not just smoke it out of a pipe? Also you can use honey oil in all vaporizer devices anyway so... yeah anyway invest in something quality and not some 10 dollar piece. It's like 40 bucks more max for something 100x the quality and functionality.
|
well yeah i figured that burning tobacco would have more carcinogens then oil. wouldn't it still be better then normal cigs tho? and for smoking weed too i use a pipe but wouldn't this be better? I just thought it was cool how you can put either into it. but i appreciate the advice about going for higher quality. What did you mean by cigalike versus vaporizer? i thought that thing was a vape. just oil?

Speaking of iTaste, I really want to get the MVP 2.0. I hear nothing but great reviews on the EC community. Upon first impression, it looked really ugly at first but I hear that it doesn't seem that big as it does in pictures. Thoughts/experiences with it? Is it good for portable usage?

You want something that fits in your pants pocket then a VTR is better I think, but I take my MVP everywhere without much issue. Doesn't fire sub ohm stuff or anything special but for a basic tank setup it's a beast. Can vape about 2-3 tanks before I need to recharge. Set to favorite watt level and vape like mad.

Ironically without a tank attached to it, the mvp2 is the size of a pack of smokes, just extra weight of course. Great for portable usage, the battery life and ability to charge with many devices is great. http://www.steammonkey.com/Gibbon_MVP2_Mini_Protank_2_Kit_p/kit-gib.htm the best deal for it. Box mods are the future.
