Say ‘Hello’ to my little friend…
I sit here this morning, new Vamo in hand, enjoying a little semi-DIY juice. A mix of Flavour Arts Tobacco Blend and The Vapor Rooms ‘Apple Pie’. Umm, tasty! Well, it is now. You see, before the arrival of ‘Sparky’ (see pic), I would fill my Mini Vivi Nova with this mix and put it on my Ego battery, and the flavor was “pretty good”. But now, it is ‘Vamolicious’!!! The ability to increase and decrease the power makes all the difference. A half a watt here, a half a watt there allows you to really zero in on the flavor you like. Too sweet? Turn up the power. Too harsh or bitter? Bring it down a little bit. Until BINGO!!! Heaven!!!
I know, some of you Vaping Vets are saying, “Duh”, but some of the newbies, like me, haven’t experienced this yet.
I’m not saying you can’t enjoy a good vape without a mod of some kind. I keep my Egos close by at all times. But, I now know that you can’t completely appreciate the fullness of the juice, whatever the flavor, without being able to ‘tweak’ it just a little.
It’s easy to spend a bunch of $$ on juices, tanks, cartos, RBA’s, on and on and on.. 
.. We’ve all done it, and most likely, still are, it’s just the nature of the beast. But, if I could give just one piece of advice to someone just getting started, it would be this… Buy a MOD!!! Whether you are trying to quit smoking or just want to enjoy your vape, being able to ‘like’ your juice is the answer. It won’t fix a bad juice or make you fall in love with one that you just can’t stand, but it could help you to find the ‘sweet spot’ on one that just wasn’t quite there for you.
Besides, you can’t name a battery that you are just going to throw away!!!
So I say, get comfy Sparky, you and I are gonna be friends for a long, long time.
I love all my mods. I really do want a Vamo though, some day soon I hope to be able to get one.
I love my Lavatube!
Didn’t Sparky die today ?
i’m sitting here with my vamo tooting on some vita bella thinking dang, why did it taste better on my ego in a vivi??
so duhhhh
i change the settings LOL
how could i forget there are settings…
silly vaper!
Yes Danielle, Sparky went to be with his maker, probably somewhere in China, after I wrote this blog. His twin should be arriving in the States in a few days!!
Great post…and condolences to Sparky; make sure you’re not being Superman tightening down those Vivi Novas next time!
Poor poor sparky died so young. we can rebuild make him stronger time for Sparky 2.0.
Was a dang T3 with adapter that got me.. Blasted T3, they still haunt me!!!
I hate having to use an adapter….Good luck with the twin
nice e cig!
I know how happy I was when my Vamo came into my life, I hope your time with Sparky 2 will be much longer lived than with Sparky.
I guess now days, he would be “Sparky 2.0″, eh?
I’ll be glad when he gets his new one. Won’t be wondering around moping and complaining about his ‘vape’.
Nothing like an unrequited Vamoist….
vamo
I agree. Mads are the way to go. I would never have made it this far with an Ego I don’t think.
I’m sorry to hear that.
New Vamo is on the way, YEA!!!
hello
Allright sparky 2.0 is coming soon. Hopefully with updated graphics.
Should be here today. Vaporskinz will be cutting a gunmetal gray fiber carbon wrap for it today, as well….
Hello! lol
I agree with you bybees3. You don’t need a mod to enjoy vaping but if you are in it for the long haul it is a must have.
The tweakability is essential for me personally.
In the beginning of my vaping journey I learn to match resistance to get my desired type of vape. I feel that experience was invaluable to my growth as a vaper. Really helped me to understand the relationship of resistance and voltage as it applies to vaping. With that knowledge, I can now quickly dial in my vape with my variable voltage/variable power pv. Ecigs have come along way in the two years since I started using them. That’s for sure. Congrats for being able to experience an “aha” moment with vaping. It’s nice when they occur.
