26 Years Smoking 1 Month Vaping

[GroovyGI]

After 26 years smoking I thought that I would never quit till I read about the benefits of vaping like no tar and other chemicals in my lungs anymore and all the different e-juice flavors unlike cigarettes. I tried the gum, patch, and lounges that tasted like a cherry lifesaver soaked for a year in a dirty ashtray. I tried e cigs from V4L on a recommendation from a nurse on my base that used to smoke 2 packs a day, I didn't smoke that much so I figured if she could do it then I could. The KR808s worked but didn't give off much vapor so I went to an Ego T Kit which is so much better and longer lasting, the only problem now is deciding on which mods to try.

Man .... you're gonna fit in here great! Once you get over 5 posts, there is a Mod Forum you can check out and ask about different models. I have a GLV3 Mini coming ...... can't wait, but I know alot of folks love Reos.

I've got a 5V passthrough hooked up to the laptop now but I want to know what the other voltages make this stuff taste like, Looking at the Lavatube first so as not to spend too much before X-Mas.

If you are already vaping 5v, the other option I have heard the most about are 3.7v (what my Mini will be) and I think some folks vape at 6V. I think much over 6v get to be a bit much ..... one guy said it just made his juice spit all over. Someone aught to know better than me ..... I'm sticking around 3.7 for now.

Those passthroughs draw more power than your laptop's USB outputs are designed for.

You really need 2 amps for that device. You could fry the usb port, or worse the lappy.

Hey congrats on making it this far! It is a funny journey with so much to explore!! Best of luck in all you do!

Go Variable Voltage.. you'll never look back. Darwin, ProVari, Lava or one of the VV Box Mods. I love being able to control voltage or wattage. JMHO.

Good Luck w/ your search and congrats on being smoke free!

Ive only had my variable voltage device for a week and already could not go without it.

Congrats on the month! I am getting close to that myself and I already feel a whole lot better. I can actually smell the clean country air again. I have found ECF to be an informative and friendly place to be. Relax and enjoy.

Same here, after 25 years of smoking almost a pack a day, I got an e-cig kit (blu). I was ok with blu for a few days but I needed more TH and vapor so I got an Myst Mach II.
I found ECF after I watched a video on youtube. I am impressed how many people use e-cig. This is a great forum! I never ever though I will quite smoking that easy. Now after 37 day without analog cigarettes I feel great and I am ready to find a mod that fits me. I just don't want to get to crazy and purchase too many mods (but you never know). I saw people here with 20-30 mods.
This is a great experience for me.
