    New to vaping...wish I had done this years ago

    Welcome, kuklaki! I got an eGo kit exactly one week ago, and found, like you, it was the easiest quit ever. Fifteen years of smoking vanished overnight. Glad that you found ECF - this is an amazing community and the people here have helped me out a lot. If you have questions, ask! The people...

    NOOB QUESTION: Weird taste after cleaning vivi nova?

    You mentioned the wicks were stiff. Not sure if this would affect things as described, but do you have hard water? I don't know for sure, but I'd think that mineral residue from the water might not be the best thing. I haven't had an issue yet, but I haven't been doing this long, and our water...

    Lurked everywhere, was on the fence about vaping, finally made purchases!

    Looks like more knowledgeable people than I already got to your questions. I'll third the "good purchases", though. That's definitely a good starter. I got an eGo-C a week ago, and a kanger with it, and they work great together. I was a 1/2+ PAD for about fifteen years, and since my goods...

    New but with some experiance..

    Congratulations! The twist and vivi nova are my next objects of desire. Glad they're working out for you. How long have you been cig free?

    So here I am.

    Welcome, John! Glad the Blus are working out for you, and best of luck on your endeavor. Seems like everyone has their own way that worked for them quitting the cigarettes, so I think the only thing I'd say is don't stress about it. I got my eGo-C this past Friday and haven't picked up a cig...

    Noob to Vaping - 100% VG and Nova Vivi Mini

    I had to reply in your thread, for obvious reasons :) I am interested in how the pure VG works out for you, though. I don't have anything against the PG, but I don't really care about throat hit, and the dry mouth is occasionally annoying. Also, congratulations on your first week! I'm even...

    Anyone else want to eliminate the nicotine?

    I'm planning on going 0mg. I only got my eGo a few days ago (got it Friday, haven't had a smoke since. This is not a testament to willpower, either!) It's not really on my radar yet, but eventually I want to cut the nicotine out, just because I don't really like *needing* something. I figure it...

    First annual ALBERTA VAPE MEET

    We don't know any other vapers in town here, so I guess we'll have to start converting :)

    Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself

    Happy to welcome you, Herdo! Promise not judge you for the Gwen Stefani thing :) I'm actually newer than you - had my first ever vape Friday. I don't have experience with older tech to compare it to, but I can say that I'm loving it as well. After a lot of browsing around, I was a bit concerned...

    One week

    Yeah, I get that. For me it seems to help to have a hint of the tobacco, but totally understand the flip side. And I was surprised at how much I liked the non-tobacco flavours. Something like vanilla-mint just sound so....odd. But it works. We've got a ton of samples to work through, too, so...

    Free at last!

    Robert_Gray, that sounds like me when my kit (also the eGo-C) arrived yesterday. Fussed with everything until the battery was charged and I could give it a go. I had been trying to keep my expectations down, but I wouldn't have had to. Smoke free for 31 hours :) Not long, but the best thing is I...

    Yep, looks like friending worked :) Wren's been down with a nasty bug, and not in a mental space to mess with her routine, so I'm just making her very jealous with my e-cig. She feels kinda bad about that, but I don't think she should stress about it - I think one of the magic things about...

    One week

    I'm only at 28 hours, but I never want to look back. Had a drag this afternoon, and even that quickly, compared to vaping, I did not like the taste. I'm not telling myself that I'll never have another cig, but as long as I'd rather vape, I think this will work out. I obviously don't have a lot...

    Just got my first ecig and I'm in love!

    Damned awesome, in fact :) I've been about 1/2PAD lately, pack on weekend nights. Has been more in the past. Tried to quit a few times, even made it six months once, but never, ever have I put down analogs for more than a few hours without getting seriously cranky. Now I don't even want them...

    New member from Italy

    Welcome aboard! I am newer than you, so can't offer any advice, but I can give you a thread bump. By the way, your english is much better than many native speakers I know, so don't feel self conscious. Continued good luck!

    Just got my first ecig and I'm in love!

    Yeah, I gotta know this story, too! @rob79 - I think we started the same day! I'm now officially 24 hours without a cigarette, and it hasn't been like I've been feeling like I'm missing out on anything. Had a bit of time today when I was getting that tight-headed feeling I get when I've gone...

    First annual ALBERTA VAPE MEET

    Had my first vape today, and I'm first in this thread :) We (wrenfisher, as new as I am, and myself) are kinda in-between Red Deer and Edmonton, and I think it would be a lot of fun to meet others of like mind in the area. We'll definitely be there!

    Edmonton Vape Meet #3.4Real - September 5th

    Well, damn. Started vaping just a couple days too late! I'm a ways out of town, but wrenfisher and I would definitely try and coordinate a trip up for the next one. We'll watch this space!

    Still an e-cig virgin (Alberta, Canada)

    Clearomizer, I think. It's a clear tank with the wick. Maybe a Vision/Stardust (are those the same?) Anyway, very nice extra. I can't wait to try it. I'm enjoying it a whole lot. Not what I expected, either! I could see the Jokesmoke classic becoming a favourite. Just need to find Wren...

    Still an e-cig virgin (Alberta, Canada)

    Thanks, XP3 - Finding them was all down to ECF! Funny you mention the mail people - we live in a very small town and I wonder what they'll think of the packages with the circumspect addressing :)
