    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    Yeah, I’m not sure I subscribe to the belief that vaping is good for you. I mean, it’s absolutely lightyears better than smoking cigarettes. I definitely vape more than I ever smoked. Not saying that will change, but I would like to cut back. Plus, I’m not a cloud chaser. I actually hate the...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    I'm really liking the Nord. I like the Drop but the automatic draw is something to get used to. I think I prefer the button but I'll get used to it. I love the smaller size of both though. Now, I'm just waiting on my supplies so I can try to make my own liquid. I'm looking forward to trying that...

    Hi I'm new to this forum, I like MTL vaping

    Welcome! I've been cig free and vaping since 2010. There are a lot of helpful people here so you came to the right place! Sadly, I'm not one of them.. I ask more questions than I would ever be able to answer.

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    Oh, I think I'm going to love it. I never liked carrying around a big clunky mod. I liked it for the battery life but I think at this point I'll deal with not having that benefit. I'm going to love that they're more discreet.

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    I completely agree that I vape way more than I ever smoked. I never smoked in the house so now that I vape inside, I always have it in my hand. I have no doubt that it's just as much of a psychological addiction as it is to nicotine. Thanks for the recipe suggestions. I'm actually really...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    The one I have doesn't even do tenths when measuring in grams. I went ahead and ordered the other one. Now that I've priced things seeing first hand how much I can save, and watching a few videos on how easy it really is.. I will make sure I fully commit. haha

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    @Jazzman I just checked and although it does grams, it doesn't do 1/100th measurements. The ounces does, but not grams. Oh well, I'm off to grab one from Amazon.

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    @Jazzman Thanks! I've got a bunch of stuff in my cart at NicRiv. I'm kind of freaking myself out while looking at some of the ingredients though. Like the diketones, acetyl propionyl, and acetoin. I'm reading up on them and some say it's ok in the small quantities used and others say to stay...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    @Falconeer I have tried a higher nicotine content in my current set up and it's just too harsh.

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    OMG, I just watched a video on YouTube about making liquid. That looks so freaking easy. I also priced the nicotine, PG, and VG too. I'm going to have to give it a shot. This will save me a ton of money. I'm off to watch about nicotine salt recipes and hopefully, those are just as easy. I can...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    All of you are a wealth of information. I appreciate it so much because as I said, even though I've been vaping since 2010, my knowledge is limited about all of it. I may have to check out the DIY suppliers to get an idea of what you are talking about and price some things. Not gonna lie, being...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    Playing catchup with the latest comments so thanks for the added input. I got to thinking about it and I think I underestimated my consumption. I have a 4ml tank and I refill it more than I realized. If I had to guess, I'd say at least 3-4 times a day... depending on if it's a day I have classes...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    Thanks, ArminF! I hope I like it. DIY just sounds so intimidating because like I said, I'm a fill and go. The closest I came to DIY was buying 0mg and 48mg to make 24mg loooong ago. It might be something I look into eventually but although I've been vaping for almost 10 years, my knowledge is...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    Ok, so I pulled the trigger on a Smok Nord kit. I ordered an extra pod so I will be able to have a salts pod/coil and a regular pod/coil. I also got extra coils for each pod and a 30mg nic salt to try. I'm a little nervous about that high mg, but I figured I would try it out and if nothing else...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    Mods are such liquid hogs and I just can't justify what I'm spending and I know the DIY would be a more economical option, but I would really rather not have to do that. I'm really hoping switching systems works for me. Plus, I'm not a fan of the big clouds of smoke.. neither are my husband and...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    Awesome, thank you. Another question though... I started off vaping mouth to lung and then when I got the mod I started direct lung. I've read a lot about the salts being mouth to lung. I'm assuming it's because if the high levels of nicotine being ingested. Is that right? I mean, with mouth to...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    Thank you for the info. I'm still watching videos of reviews and trying to decide. I'm leaning toward the Smok Nord or the Suorin Drop. I like the fact that you can use salts and reg liquid in the Nord, though. Decisions, decisions.

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    That, and I'm not a fan of the big clouds produced from the mod. The main reason for going with the mod was battery life, but at this point, I'd rather just have to recharge more often.

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    Thanks for the input, Brewdawg. I don't believe I have any sensitivities because I started vaping at 24mg years ago. It's just evolved into me vaping way more than I ever smoked and for me, it got more so with using the Pico mod. I just want to dial it back and reduce the amount of liquid I go...

    Thinking of switching to a pod system

    I'm a fill and go kind of girl. The less maintenance the better. I would really prefer to not have to mix anything myself, if possible. I know what you are saying r77r7r, but when I first started I vaped way less and as I stepped down the mg I just vape more. I vaped way less before switching to...
