    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    Good onya mOOsey for giving the ciggies the flick. (+ 1 for the e beer too btw). I smoked for 30 yrs before finding the e cig culture through my house mate. Here in Australia vaping is a very small group and has some weird laws to boot. I love it and now wonder why I never got onto it earlier...

    What this forum does for me

    Ahh vstar1100, welcome Yamaharley...lol (I've got a 650 at the moment) There is certainly a support group here you won't and don't find in any other forum. At least here, an Ego is a type of Ecig....lmao Keep up the good work mate, like everyone here, you'll kick the analogues .... (could...

    Vaping - Day One.

    That's what every one is here for mate, to give you pointers to help you head in the right direction with some solid advice. I "may" swap water for beer after working hours but the hydration level definitely gets kept up...lol. I look at it as conducting research and ensuring my vaping works...

    Hardware from china...

    I Yes mate, the local supplier here is $20 AUD if you pay cash, $25 AUD if your paying by card for a 10ml bottle. I was buying from a US company until I read their blog, they explained that they have shortages in hardware and juice during Chinese New Year. I hate paying the middle man! I...

    Ego Twist or Vision Spinners?

    I've got a couple of the rainbow spinners in 1300 Mah and they're great. They last well over a day and I vape them hard. Can't comment on how long they'll live as I haven't had them long. I paid about $22 AUD for them. As for what to hang off the top of them, there's a whole truck load of...

    First post

    G'day and welcome. My lady still smokes a couple of analogues a day too even though "we" stopped at the same time. I'm happy enough with that though, from a pack a day to 3 or 4. Better for her health and much much cheaper too. Good luck mate and keep up the good work, you'll do it. Especially...

    Why do some people hate steeping

    Seeing as my housemates last juice order took over 2 months to get to Australia from the States, we figured with the amount of shaking it got in the post and the time elapsed, we'd just vape it straight away...lol. The 3 leaking bottles out of the 5 ordered should have had time to release any...

    Drip Tips: Metal or Plastic?

    My tastebuds must still be broken from 30+ years of smoking prior to my Vaping experience, I don't taste the metal. I'm running SS, acrylic, aluminium, chrome plated and there's even some rubber ones that came with some DCT's I ordered. The rubber ones I don't use and most of the metal ones I...

    Severe Newbie here!!!

    Hi Tiffany, Good on you for giving up the cigs, that's why we're all here when all is said and done. For your gear set up, as Huckleberried said, there is nothing wrong with a twist style battery as a great starting point. I have two in my arsenal and they go for a day or two (depending on your...

    Just bought my first eGO

    G'day and welcome, As yeshe said, in a couple of weeks after vaping, grab a cigarette. You'll wonder how the hell you ever smoked in the first place. I know I did and I've gone from over 2 packs a day for 30 years and haven't had an analogue in over 3 months now. I'm sure the last one I did...

    Correct Steeping Method

    Hi All, Being a relative newbie to the craft of vaping, the idea of steeping juice before use is not something we hear about too much over here. It sort of makes sense now though, looking at some of the I got from the States when I first started out, it would smell like some ethanol based...

    Hardware from china...

    I get all my gear from China now. I was buying from the US but postage is so slow it's ridiculous. My housemate ordered from a US supplier 7 1/2 weeks ago and we still haven't seen it. We suspect the pigeon died on the way over...lol As for postage I just pay for EMS and have no problems. Less...

    Brand New Vaper!

    I've never owned a Volt, I started with a Zeus and went on from there. Like 3bet said, there's nothing wrong a spinner (or two) depending on what atty you plan to run on it.They'll run anything you want to use, just with various degrees of battery life. While I have upgraded (MVP 2 and VAMO...

    Clearomizers: What am I doing wrong?

    I've got Kumiho iTanks and just picked up some Smoktech MBC's and they all leak. I don't blame the manufacturer however, I put it down to where I live in the tropics. I spend all day in the air conditioning at work and step out into 36 deg C so I put it down to expansion of the juice. The extra...

    Should I upgrade to Provari?

    Being an Aussie, I've never even seen a Provari let alone try one. Seeing as it is illegal to sell juice containing nicotine here, and the places you can buy nico juice for $25 AUD for 10ml, that puts a perspective on the cost of buying vaping gear in Oz. I've done the more usual trail of...

    Nicotine Level ... Pack A Day

    Hi Sweet-n-Southern and G'day from Australia. I used to smoke 5 X 50 gram packs of roll your own's a week. I started on 24 mg and was thinking that this wasn't strong enough for me and was about to up the dose. Then I changed my hardware. As djsvapour eluded to, the quality of your gear (to me...

    Am I missing out?

    + 1 with dragonbone I'm extremely happy with the vapour that pours out of my Kumiho glass bcc with the standard 2,4 ohm coil. Drop in a replacement 1.8 ohm coil and it's a crazy amount of vapour, even from my ego King battery. My MVP 2 really makes it hustle too. I'm thinking that's because it's...

    Hi all!

    I just took delivery of my MVP 2 yesterday, being a noob to vaping myself I've also got the 1300 mah spinner. It did seem a bit gutless running 3.5 ml DCT's with 1.8 ohm carts, but the MVP has no problems. BUT, I also got a couple of Kumho BCC glass tanks to try (iTank), so far these are...

    Which online vendors do you use?

    Being an Aussie with our draconian vaping laws, the places you can get juice containing nicotine are selling for $20 for 10 ml bottle if you pay cash. $25 otherwise. So I was ordering from a US site (V4L), these were taking 4 to 6 weeks to arrive. Usually 6. I took the advice from my house mate...
