Yes, you are probably right there. That, and having more oxygen in my blood and fewer toxins.. body needs less sleep (recovery time). Its the lack of toxins and increased O2 content of the blood coupled with generally higher energy, metabollism, feeling "good" etc is what I meant earlier when I said you WILL get withdrawal symptoms. I wasn't used to those feelings so when they came it was like withdrawal. But now, I love how I feel!!
Ordered first e-cig, Still Trying to take it all in and learn

That seems to be the experience of a lot of vapers on here. Why go with tobacco flavor when you have a smorgesboard of wonder to try out. But I'm starting to give up on the idea of an all day vape. Was thinking about my favorite flavors in life, and why they're my favorite. I love strawberries for example. But I generally only buy them when they're harvested fresh in the central FL region, so maybe twice a year. So my pallet is kind of used to that flavor only occasionally. Same with peaches fresh out of GA and so on down the line. There's a professional chef that now has a review site up, and when I get a chance, I want to commiserate with him on the subject of seasonal flavors on the pallet and such. But aside from that, my first flavor was supposed to match up to camel menthol, and honestly I didn't notice much of a tobacco flavor to it, but it still had the menthol which is what I needed to get started.
I will check out the ego twist right now, I just know I am going to be a long term vapor and know I will want VV, as I said I be willing to go up to $100 for the kit, but also want the best, if I were to buy a VV and a month later find out there was another model that is generally reviewed to be better I would have to buy it.
I tend to jump into a new hobby with both feet. Dont even have my e-cig yet, already placed a juice order, and now that I am thinking of it I should prolly buy some empty cortos and a 3rd battery.
Yeah, PVs can be quite the hobby. I'm trying very hard to limit myself on purchases. Keeping an eye on my break even number and my money saved number. Not a fixed income here, but still it's a tight budget most months. Health benefits were the #1 reason I switched to vaping, but doing the math on potential savings each month was my final push to make my initial purchases. Just wish I had read a little more on here before I did. My first kit, an 808D-1 just wasn't doing it for me and after 2 weeks I was buying an eGo-C. But first kit was only 40 bux, and that's less than a week's worth of cigarettes for me, so I'm not too upset. It got me started at least.
Kind of silly to compare a Lavatube to a Provari. You can buy a full kit Lavatube for $50. A full kit Provari will run you well over $200.
Other than the general build quality, there are only 2 major differences between them, and both of them have been nearly eliminated with the new version Lavatube. The first is the voltage drop as the battery drains. Fortunately, the Lavatube has a super easy way of adjusting for that. You push one button once or twice if you notice a lowering of power. No menu system to wade through. That only really is noticeable when the battery gets low, like below 3.7V. I never let mine get that low, so it doesn't bother me. With the version 1.5, that's been largely fixed and the voltage drop is not significant enough to worry about.
The other thing is the current limit. The 2.5A limit on the LT V1 cuts the voltage to kGo levels with a dual coil. I don't particularly like them anyway, do it's a non issue for me. The amp limit on the V1.5 is 3.2A compared to the 3.5 of the Provari. To exceed either of those limits, you'd have to be vaping a 1.5ohm carto at 6V. That's just stupid.
The Provari is prettier, no doubt. But the stainless LT is no slouch either. When it gets the guts of the V1.5, it'll be a formidable contender to the Provari at less than half the price. Right now, at $73, it's a bargain.
I have mixed feelings about the Vmax. I want to see how it holds up. Smoketech isn't exactly known for reliability. I'm also not nuts about their poorly calibrated electronics. The voltage you set has no relationship to the voltage delivered, and neither of them has any relationship to how the vape feels. They should just abandon the voltage pretense and call it a power level selector. It's only usefulness is in relationship to itself. Also, the price needs to stabilize at <$90, where it belongs.
For a box type mod that's pretty interesting, the Ovale V8 is one to check out. Evidently, it operates much like the Vmax, but it's $50.
Do you know of a repuatble site that caries the Ovale? googling I am not finding much, or have a price on it?
Edit:
Nevermind, just found it on http://www.discountvapers.com

Was going to recommend Eric at DV but see you already found him! I've ordered a coue times from him & he's really great to deal with. You can do PayPal with him too.
