Hi guys, I'm from Malaysia and have been vaping for 4 weeks. Was introduced to it by a good friend. vaping has also helped me totally quit cigarettes, after having smoked for 15 years.

Congratulations and welcome to ECF! That is a very good friend indeed! I think each of us over time will help another couple of people kick the habit.

Thanks very much! Yes, I'm hoping to help my friends too, in return. I have, in fact! I 'converted' a colleague of mine. But as a newbie, I only could guide the basics... so we're all learning as we go.

Congrats. Hope each day gets a little better for you. Best wishes.

Thank you! Lots to learn & discover.

1st personal discovery: Hangsen juices don't go well with me but a particular US juice brand is Ok.

Anyone know why?

Everyone has particular tastes. I've tried juices people raved about and haven't been that big of a fan. I've learned the art of steeping greatly improves a lot of juices you might not like at first too.

How do you steep the juices?

Sorry but you have to be 18 before you can vape

Taste is so subjective that everyone has to find out for them selves what they like best, and even then, for most, what they like best keeps changing.

Take the cap off and set it in a dark place for a few days.
E-liquid is like a fine wine, age does make a difference.

There are a few different methods but basically just let them sit for at least a week until the flavors marinate. I've heard of butting the bottle in hot water, shaking it up occasionally as well.

LOL!

Oh ok... My other question is - I have been using a Stardust Clearomizer for a little over 2 weeks and over the past week, everytime I fill it up with juice, the color of the juice seems to get darker and darker. Is that normal?

Is this true with all eliquids?
or just PG, or VG?

I've been using these for a while and have the same experience. I just leave it alone until the flavor/performance of the clearo changes and then clean it, letting the juice level go down as low as I dare first. Here is one video on how to clean them. There are a bunch vids out there on this. Depending on the juice I'm using, I find I clean mine after about 6 - 10 tanks. You can clean them multiple times.

I find not all juice needs this, but most will change in taste after a while. Guess it all depends if you like the way it tastes when new. I have found sometimes a month of steeping is not too long.

Don't know if it's PG or VG dependent. My juices are all between 70/30 and 50/50 PG/VG, so no experience with straight PG or VG.

I found cleaning and burning the clearomizer kept my liquid from darkening. Maybe try that.
