2 weeks into vaping and lovin it

Off topic: does mcdonalds have that phrase patented?

anyway

I started vaping 2 weeks ago thanks to the curiosity that struck me when I saw an Ecig for sale at a gas station. I was quickly intrigued and did some extensive research on that day. I ended the night at a place on the internet called ECF. I was so happy with the support and friendliness of other members. Everyone who had replied to any of my threads helped me in one way or another. They guided me towards picking an EGO(type) model for my first kit(MegaTrex) and also helped me find juices and accessories along the way.

Now I can't say I have quit analogs just quite yet because I haven't. On my first day of vaping I found out that my work place sold "glycerin" and so I quickly started mixing and squeezing peaches and putting tobacco in a cup of vodka to try and make my own. When all that completely failed I thought to myself,"I think my recipe would be perfected if I mixed it with the professional made juice I bought." Man that was a mistake. I ended up completely ruining my first 30ml bottle of juice and it wasn't until a week later(today) that I got my new juices. This time I ordered a few extra just incase I try to be a mad scientist again.

So, while I had no juice for the first week, I was smoking analogs again but for some reason I had cut down a drastic amount. Even without having something to vape on I was able to cut down from almost a pack a day to a pack per 5days. I smoked my last analog today and I hope I won't be craving them anytime soon. It is amazing to me how this e-cig works so well to help you stop analogs. Now I am not saying that e-cigs are "good" for you but they are certainly a better alternative to traditional analogs(this statement is not a fact it is only my opinion.)

I got my orders in for my new juices today and this time I ordered an 18mg juice and a 16mg juice because the 24mg was just too strong for me. I also ordered a dual coil carto and man..the combination of the dual coil and an 18mg juice feels like its cutting up my throat more than the 24mg juice. ><. Also,idk if this makes a difference, my first juice was pure vg and my new juices are pg with little vg mixed in it.

All in all I am pleased with my experience so far and I am excited for the future. I hope I can find something to settle down on so I stop spending soo much money on these things. xD

Grats! Happy Vaping!

The dual coil cartos really max out the throat hit on whatever juice you're vaping. You could try shorter burns if the throat hit is too much, worked for me.

Goober you are an adventurous one! LOL (literally) on crushing peaches. Sometimes in an attempt to help people bypass the problems we experienced with the slim mini cigarette-style ecigs/PVs from the gas station/mall/wherever we make matters worse with juices, bigger PVs and low resistance cartomizers and so much strange language you need an interpreter. You have good equipment. Let's get it working. You have much help here.

What juice brand/flavor are you using and how are you filling the cartomizer? It could be that you're hitting dry spots in the cartomizer and that's causing the harshness to your throat. That's awful. You should be experiencing a nice, warm cigarette-like vape. With help here you'll get there quickly. Hang in there.

Finally, I hope you're not too hard on yourself if you have a cigarette. There's no rule book or cold-turkey anxiety with switching to vaping. Instead of cigarettes having the upper-hand, you're in control. You've got another nic delivery device that is more pleasurable when you get it dialed in. If you need to smoke some cigs during the process, no biggie. I bought a mall ecig with the intent of using it where I couldn't smoke. Within a few days I realized I hadn't had a cig that day with a full pack in view. Didn't want one. You'll get there. It wasn't a quit. It was more of a transition. Hope yours gets better and better.

Hi Goober
You get the right setup and juice and you'll just stop smoking.
I didn't ever think I'd quit but I wanted to cut back. When i got my first real e-cig I just forgot to smoke. That went on day after day...month after month.... I still have an opened pack by the front door, been there 10+ months (yuck). I think I'll go toss 'em out tonight
Take it easy on yourself, you're doing great

I have 1 18mg madgrapes, 16mg rootbeer,36mg unflavored pg, and 24mg virginia. I got all of these from madvapes.com.

I usually hold my carto upright and pour droplets into it until I see the juice coming out of the bottom end. Then I quickly turn it upside down and let it drop back to the top. Then I lay it side ways and I roll it around for about 2 minutes. Finally I give it a tiny blow to blow out the extra juice. I don't really mind the taste. I think I just need to try a lower mg level.

Last but not least, I haven't had a cigarette since I got my new juices! If I can get past that first morning cig then I feel like I can get through the day.
