42 year old noob saying Hello and thanks!

[Darthvong]

Found this great site while researching e-cigs to help me quit smoking. Been smoking almost 2 packs a day for 20+ years. After doing some fact finding here I purchased a kGo kit with extra boge 510 LR cartos and many juices from different vendors that were recommended here.

I've been vaping since this past Wednesday night and haven't had an actual cig (analog) since then. So I just wanted to say thanks for all the honest info here that so far has helped me quit my nasty habit!!!

I started with 24mg Nicotine with a 70/30 mix. I haven't found that perfect mix yet, but I know it's out there. I really like Boba's Bounty the most so far.

Welcome to ECF and congrats on kicking the cigs.

Seems like you are of to a great start. Yes the liquids hehe. That will keep you busy but when you found it and have setteld on your sweet spot setup ..it is just unbeatable.

Good first set up. Sounds like you are doing real good with it too. If you find yourself wanting an analog just fight it off. The first 3 weeks can get tough but once you kick the other 1,999 chemicals that are bound to kick back your golden.

If your going to stay with a carto I would advise you to stick to the 70pg 30vg for a longer lasting carto. at 50/50 mine are done after about 2 days. The vg is what kills them. They get clogged up a lot faster with vg. Congratulations and enjoy.

Good advice. I was actually thinking of going the other way with the mix and getting some with less vg. I'm not having any throat issues so far from the pg so I might be safe there.

Thanks. I have a feeling you might be one of them people who boast about a carto lasting a month. Only thing is high pg makes less vapor. Im all about the visuals so I like filling the room. If you find that you are too then let us know, and we can recommend something that will work better then a carto. I have 4 things I swear by for thick clouds If you like a carto we can also show you how to take that to the next level with recommendations on tanks that work well for us. Ask anything really. By the way, nice avatar.

Ah I didn't know it would produce less vapor. Yes, I like alot of vapor. What is this "tank" you speak of? Sounds interesting.

Welcome!!!!11!

I vape a carto about 2-5 days a month just to change it up and cause I have a tank that I like. I had the Arry ACT3 and ACT4 at one time but donated the ACT4 for a vapor documentary. The good part about the 4 is that you can use a ce2 also. Ce2 is a cooler vape but more vapor then a carto, and taste is more clean. You can get an arry here:

Stormy's mods


Here is what I vape pretty much exclusively since people started selling them again.

You can also get the esmoker VS3 and Nova tank for cheap then the innards at Madvapes or just buy it all at Madvapes. The links for the parts at MV'S are on the video description. Cost $12 for the vs3 at MV then today I got a news letter from esmoker that the vs3 is only $8 and the nova tank is $1.50 less then MV also. Just add both to a cart and see how much shipping is to see whats the best deal. I say to use the nova tank cause it wont crack and break like the vision stone tank will. But if you just want to try it out you can buy just the VS3 by itself.

If you want to go the more elegant route look for something like a Iatty and the DID. The Iatty is a CE2 rebuildable that will last forever with only wire, wick and juice to buy. The DID is a Genesis Atty with wire, steel mesh, and juice to buy. The Genesis is a hard one to get down for about 30% of the people that try them though but its in stock. You can see the Iatty in the classifieds and pay a bunch for it or you can wait for COV to get more stock. You just missed them. Mine is shipping in a week. The DID I bought is also on the way.

Iatty: The GG - USA, Canada, Mexico only

DID: e-vape.gr

Hope this helps. I recommend everything I listed above. Not what everyone would choose but I have used a lot of junk to vape with and this is the stuff I found that works well. My ratting is pretty much what I want to throw across the room and what I never wanted to throw across the room. Would not throw any of them

 

[Striker911]

Forgot to add that all will work well with 50/50 but the carto. 2 days vs even a couple weeks puts it low on my want to have list. They are decently priced though. U can get a 5 pack of carto's for around $5 if you shop them. Thats 10 days using 50/50.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum.

Hi Darthvong,

Just wanted to say hello from a fellow newbie Buckeye of the same age and situation as you. I don't have a lot to offer as far as advice yet but I am loving my new K-Go and so far of the four or five liquids I have tried I prefer RY4 70/30 from sweet-vapes.com and their fudge brownie turned out to be GREAT as well. I got pink vanilla cotton candy (all are 70/30) and its good but doesn't taste like cotton candy to me. Sweet Vapes is close to us (WI) and the owner got my whole order to me in record time even with the juices being made to order.

Also I have found out the new B&M store in Columbus Buckeye Vapors is having a BBQ "open house" coming up on June 24th where they are inviting people to come in and try juices etc. Im not associated with any store or anything but am looking forward to going and meeting like minded people and LEARNING a lot.

Cya around here I hope!

Very cool info. I think I'll end up getting a Vivi Nova tank. Esmoker is sold out so I'll have to wait until they get more in I guess.

 

[Striker911]

You can send them an email and see when they will get more tanks. To be clear. If your getting the entire Nova tank system then make sure its version 2.5. V1 was a total flop. V2 also had its issues.

I'm also a noob with a kgo...but WAY younger at onely 40

I assume I can plug here since I found it elsewhere...vaporgod.com has a killer selection, and I got a great sample pack cheap (code "summer"). I can't review since I just bought, but I also added a 6ml tank for home use and the cartos will be for on the go...for now. I went a bit crazy...hoping to find something cool, and I am sure I will. I decided to not screw around with the PV so much and focus on the juice.
