Hi all
Lurking seems to be the word, for having a look around this community... and so I did, and do, and continue to do, and what a steaming friendly mecca of knowledge I discovered, when needing it the most. Thank you for being here, doing what you do In Denmark this steaming buisiness is still all fairly new, and there are no forums like this.
Besides from saying Hello EFC World, and seek advice on 2 matters ... some heavy lung issues and on what gear setup and juice you can recommend in order to get the vaping experience im seaching for.
My wakeup call ... around this christmas I lost 2 elderly friends who died of cancer.
I have been smoking since my 18th year, lately I deescalated to 15 light ones pr.day.
Increasingly hating the risks I put myself in ... and the awfull smell.
29th.dec. after attending the second funeral, I express googled for a good starter kit ... I went directly to the new smoke n steam shop in town and got me an eVOD Kanger starter kit and 3 fruity 12mg 50PG/42VG eliquids for a start.
I have not smoked since. Im not saying it has been easy, but it has definitely been far easier than expected... especially once I read the exstremely helpfull inhalation tecnique articles in this forum ... ahaaaa, the slow zen mode breaths made a difference, and finaly and slowly the juice tank started to empty ... I have an open package of cigarettes lying in my living room and when I notice it now and then, it puzzles me that I dont want them, but it is still too much against my smokers nature to throw them out ... hmmmm. Wonder when I will act on this.
I should be exstatic of joy, and I am, but at the same time I feel like my lungs have taken a frontal hit by a steamroller ... "heavy, burning lungs", slight shortness of breath and a little sore throat. I knew there would be some symptoms when quiting the cigarets, I have quit before, but this time the symptoms are so much worse that I suspect the vapour to have some sideeffects. Trying to figure out what I do about it. I read some of the low VG tolerance threads vs. low PG tolerance, so please correct me if im wrong ...
Step 1 ... drink more water, to avoid dehydration and be patient for smoke quiting symptoms to clear out, and enjoy when I'm freed of each of them
Step 2 ... experiment with different PG/VG solutions, lower nicotine level and also try some high quality 50/50 liquids
Step 3 ... ???
The second advice I seek is related to how to achieve the vaping experience im looking for, whether it is dripping, mechanical MOD, is the EVOD ok, which type of liquid etc.
Vapour ... the amount of vapour is not so important
TH ... only a very light and mild one is needed
Flavour ... absolute top priority for me
Putiry of liquids ... also top priority (ordered som Five Pawns 4 ml testers)
vaping method and apparatus ... would the evod be ok for starters
My level of creativity ... I do not want to start out doing MODs and mixing liquids just yet, in time yes, but for know im more the plug and play whatever can be bought type.
Hope there is some advice for me out there ... and sorry for imposing on you with so many questions, a loooong text and so on, and now I will stop babbeling and lurk around some more
