A little about me and how i got into vaping

[Herni]

Hey guys, just joined this site and i just wanted to share how i got into vaping.

Well, i'm 22 years old and i've been a smoker since a couple of years back, i smoked mostly to relieve anxiety and to be honest, it made me feel good. Then i heard about a thing called an electronic cigarette and i thought i would give it a try.

I got a standard Ego battery from a site called AirSmoke and i really liked it, the cigarette really worked for me and i recently got my iTaste 134 and i love it.

I haven't had a tobacco cigarette for over half a year now and i'm not going back.

My father who has been a smoker since he was 15 (hes 55 now) recently expressed interest in trying e cigs so for christmas i got him a joyetech eroll so im hoping he likes it, hes tried my ego and he enjoyed it so i'm hopeful.

So that was a little bit about how i got into vaping, sorry for any grammatical errors (English isn't my first language)

Thanks for sharing your story Herni and welcome to the forum! Congrats on quitting the cigs. Hopefully your father will follow your lead to a healthier alternative.

Welcome to ecf. Loved your story, especially the part about your father wanting to vape. You are a good son.

Congrats on making the switch. Be patient with your dad, he has been smoking a long time, so he made need to upgrade fairly quickly.

good luck

New ppl have to bring mooseballs (its a dish, its not *their* balls...look it up!).

Or doughnuts. Itz a rule. I made it up so no taking it back now.

Be sure to find juices you (and dad) enjoy, they really dont have to be tobacco flavors - I like fruit ones or desserts.

When in doubt or you are having a craving...be sure to post here. Everyone (maybe not 100% everyone, but you get the picture) has gone through very similar situations.

English isnt my first language either. I dont speak it. Im speaking Elvish .

So there.

Anyone notice he uses English better than a lot of folks? ha ha.

Welcome to ECF! Similar situation here with my dad - he's asked me to get him an ecig setup for Christmas. Planning on getting him an eGo starter kit since it worked so well for me. He's been smoking for 50 years, so while I don't necessarily see him giving up smokes altogether, I'd love to see him reach a point where he's only smoking a couple per day. So exciting!

Glad you joined us!

Welcome my friend. Best for you to switch from smoking to vaping. And best present a son can give his father is an e-cig. But I am afraid Eroll would not be a good choice for a 40 years smoker. I have one I use it once in a while. But it can not keep your father away from cigarettes. He should take the vape slowly and it has a strong vape only so. but within 4-5 inhales the atomiser heat can be felt. It has a very little cartridge (0.4 ml) Even a ego style 650mah batteries and 2 ce4 type clearos would do better.
Well I am in this for more than 9 months I used ego types first and later I had a evic with vivi nova it is the end. I enjoy but for short time outgoings I use eroll. Not bad. but not a beginners toy

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome i actually got him a couple of juices to try so im hoping he likes some of them atleast, hes really picky with the types of cigarettes he smokes so i got him a juice of his favorite brand and a couple of misc juices like apple, cherry and such so *fingers crossed*

And Sugar_and_Spice, thanks for the advice, i'm gonna be patient and support him in any way he needs. I'll show him where to get his stuff and answer any questions he might have, By upgrade i'm guessing you're talking about Mods?

I have a spare Ego-t battery and some boge cartos that im leaving at home so he can use them if he needs it, why i chose the eroll is because he talked about having to press a button to take a hit was troublesome and i could not find a good vendor here in sweden thats sells any other automatic batterys (not that i could find anyway)

Welcome and good luck with your Dad. I smoked cigarettes for 50 years and never believed I could quit. I haven't had a cigarette in over 3 months now and very much prefer my E- Cigs. Soooooo much healthier, cleaner, cheaper and Sooooo enjoyable!!!!!!!!!!
Don't give up. If you can find the right flavor it makes it a lot easier.

Upgrades might include pyrex tanks, more juices...maybe stuff with variable voltages or larger batteries...

And coils/wicks...ugh, lots to do with that...typically a Kanger head is ok for a bit (for example, thats what im using). But then it gets all dirty and tastes like crap.

Sooo....thats when I took the time to get Kanthal wire and learn to rebuild my coils and stuff in wicks..the flavor and vapor is MUCH better.

Everyones vape situation is different, and in the end..it only matters to them, lol.

Congratulations on quitting smoking. I get my first ecig this week, an iTaste MVP 2, and am looking forward to reducing or eliminating cigarette consumption.
