Hey everyone! I'm new to the PV forum scene. Hopefully you will all welcome me with open arms. XD I've heard good things, so, that is why I'm here.

Alittle about me:
Used to smoke a pack a week when I was in highschool, but I quit cold turkey after graduation. But recently I've been getting the cravings back, so I was looking for a alternate way to beat those cravings, Hince, How I stumbled apon PVs.

I'm currently looking at getting the Volcano e-cig's Magma. I've heard good reviews about it. I might buy a disposable PV to see if it's for me before actually investing.

I'm 19 and live in Austin, Texas (Music capital of the world!!! Love it here)

I'm mainly here to keep up with new and exciting development and mods that come available to the market, so if you all have some cool links to show me, I would be more then happy to check-em-out.

Welcoming with open arms

Save your money on volcano and get a mod, if you are hopefully going to get into vaping

Don't mean to sound new, but What is a mod? :/

**MITRICH** · 05-18-2010 05:16 PM

hardest part will be deciding on what mod you want

And the more ppl you'll listen to the more opinions you'll get

IMHO Janty ego http://www.ecigarette-mods.com/custom_battery_mods.html
Top right picture, would be a good start.. Price wise and completeness wise

There is a few of our suppliers on the forum sell those

BUT DO ALOT OF RESEARCH AND QUESTION ASKING BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING

Oh, I see. I'm actually looking for something more, cylinder like. The spade looks nice. I'm turned off by how some of them have super huge batteries compared to the attys.

Some of these look really cool, I'm going to lurk around for reviews on them! Thanks so much for the link!

Welcome welcome welcome HiYuro

.

First of all you heard correctly about the people here being the nicest, most helpful and least judgmental of all the forums I have seen.
Second, about the magma from volcanoecigs. I have one of their atomizers and I will say they are decent but........ you cannot interchange any other brand of cartridges with their atomizer although their atomizer can fit on any of the 510 style batteries. Not only are you stuck with buying their cartridges, but you are stuck with their automatic short lived batteries. Lets face it, for the money you would spend on a magma, any experienced vaper would never even consider buying that. That being said, you may as well purchase at the very least, a ego kit also know as tornado etc.

I do not mean to demean any company selling low quality stuff, but let's face the facts, you either keep up with the times, have good customer service, competitive prices with quality products or suck shit and go bankrupt. It is as simple as that nowadays.

You being a newbie have the luxury of arming yourself with info before jumping into ecigs, that gives you an advantage most of us never had. We learned by trial and error after spending countless dollars before we finally found what was decent and dependable. You can bypass all the mistakes we made and jump right into the good stuff. Read reviews and ask questions before you make that purchase. Please please at least get something decent with the bare minimum being the ego aka tornado.

Browse all the suppliers here, see who has the best bang for your buck and check if there is a coupon code first before buying. It could save you at least 10% off your order and maybe more. Do not buy anything with an automatic battery or one that is as skinny as a pencil , it should be fatter than a pencil or you will be greatly disappointed.

Do not hesitate to ask questions, I too didn't know an atty from a carto before, $1000 later I became much more experienced and informed. Ask away, we don't bite here.

Hope this helps,
Aloha , Keith
