New Vaper here - 11 days cigarette free

[TheRaiden]

Hi all
I was a heavy smoker, 2 packs a day, and my friend recommended me to go straight to sub-ohm vaping.

So i bought myself:
- Smoktech G-Priv w/ Big baby beast
- TFV8 Cloud beast with the RBA
- 4x Sony VTC5A battery's and 2x LG HG2 (Thank you Mooch for extremely helpful charts!)
- Geek Vape 521 Tab mini ohm meter (for my RBA builds)
- Ceramic Tweezers and screwdrivers to use when i go RBA building
- Kanthal prebuilt coils
- Lots of Japanese organic cotton
- 240ml of E-juice 6mg nic
- 3 inch long drip tip aluminum
- Nitecore i4 charger

So far i have been cigarette free for 11 day's and i'm loving the Vape!
This looks like a great community and i look forward to be a part of it

Cool! You bought some good stuff. Keep your eye on your nic consumption as 6mg juice at 100+w in the Cloud Beast can be high even for heavy smokers. Might be fine at 35-60w in the Big Baby.

Congrats on getting off the smokes too!

Well done on the investment and the 11 days. You've got off to a really good start.

Hi and welcome! Congrats on 11 days! It looks like you did some research around here before buying, which looks like it served you well as you've got a nice collection of quality gear to start out with.

Hi and Welcome- Wow Congrats on your vaping journey- what a great story, only 11 days and look how far you are! I have been vaping for over 2 years and just bought my 1st RTAs just a few months ago haha!
I quit my 30+ year cigarette addiction by vaping!
Stay Strong and Vape On!

Thanks for the warm 'vape' welcome
Yeah, i watched ALOT of youtube videos and read alot of forum post's trying to find out what gear to buy.
But good research pay's off. I am extremely happy with my kit and i'm doing tricks like poking little holes in the side cotton on the smok coils with a needle. No leaks or dry hits so far! I'm wondering though if any atomizers would give me an even stronger flavor than the TFV8 and B.B.Beast. Any recommendations for a tank with super flavor and thick clouds?

Hello, fellow newcomer! I am glad to see that after 11 days of being of cigarettes, you dived into vaping. Just like I did 4 years ago.

Judging by your set-up, you are definitely good to go.
Also, if you're looking for strong flavor with clouds in a tank, strangely enough, those tanks should be able to give you that. If you're using the rebuildable deck, you should be able to slap in some hefty builds and ramp up the wattage. I would, however, advise that you be careful doing that on the 6mg juice as you may get really harsh hits while vaping.

Juice, too, plays a factor, as the higher the VG = more vapor; higher the PG = more flavor and throat hit.

Welcome. I'm just past the 3 year mark. My suggestion is just wait for a few weeks until your taste buds recover from smoking. The flavor is there, you just can't sense it yet.

Hi Hrafin & welcome
I wouldn't be overly concerned with 6 mg in a Beast tank as I have 6 mg in a Cloud Beast running at 135 w with me now and I don't feel there is too much nic and I was only smoking 1 pack a day of lights. You'll know if you're getting too much soon enough. A lot depends on how often you draw on it and how large the draws are.

Don't go too high on the wattage if you prefer flavor over clouds, even as little as 2 or 3 watts can make a big difference in flavor. Also most atty's will perform differently with different juices and it is just trial and error which works best. Though as you get to know your various tanks the trial & error will give way to educated guesses. As to other tanks well I still very much enjoy and in some cases prefer the Crown 1's with the RBA over the Beast tanks.

Welcome aboard! VERY good job on your initial setup! You should be very happy with everything you listed! Ive noticed you're already reading some of Moochs stuff but if you intend to build coils then I suggest some more reading from his blog and Baditudes blog as well.
