A month and a half cigarette free! First post!

[MrNanners]

Hello ecf! Just joined on to the forum after being a long time lurker its nice to finally be able to post! I'm relatively new to vaping I'm currently running a sigelei 50w with a kanger subtank mini and I absolutely love the setup. I was a pack and a half a day smoker and I'm finally smoke free with no intention of ever turning back!

Congrats, stick with it pardna.
It been three months for me.
How do you like your 50w as far as running various tanks?
Im considering buying a 100w Sigelei.
Probably never need that much wattage.
Anyhow enjoy and vape is the wtg now days.

Perhaps like me you have a sensitivity to artificial sweetners. I am one of the less than 1% with what is known as the "bitter Gene" . One sip of a soft drink with artificial sweetner leaves a horrible taste in my mouth for hours. Except for a simple cheap straight tobacco ejuice all the fruit ones are killing my taste buds and seem to have the same impact on me as artificial sweetners. I have ordered some organic flavors with no artificial ingredients and PG/VG and nico and will make my own and see how it goes. I can tolerate Stevia and plan on using it as a sweetner. I hope my homebrew works out for me else I will be just doing tobacco flav.

I have been vaping for 7-8 weeks and no cigs, I wish the juice companies would list artificial ingredients. Some do except for not telling about the sweetners in their juice.

I will let you know how it goes in a week or so.

I have the new Sigelei 50w too and I'm loving it.

Congrats on finding a great set up that's helped you quit!

Welcome MrNanner & Electronicsman

I'm lovin' on my Subtank Nanos - they're pretty amazing. Might find a Subtank Mini, but I have other rebuildables at the moment.

Electronicsman - depending on how long you've been vaping and not smoking, you might be suffering from "vapor's tongue". Basically a timeframe when nothing quite tastes right while your taste buds heal. You're already pushing the spectrum of "extreme" flavors with the Fire & Ice. I've heard people suggest sniffing coffee beans to "reset" your sense of smell (which greatly affects your sense of taste.) You might have to power through it (and I'd vape your less-preferred flavors during this time since you can't really taste them much anyway.)

Make sure you're drinking plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated....

Hope it comes back soon for ya

Way to go MrNanners !

Welcome to ECF

Welcome to ECF MrNanners, make yourself right at home

 

[MrNanners]

So far I am really loving the sigelei 50w for the few tanks I've ran. I can say its a match made in heaven for the kanger subtank mini! Looks nice and vapes great! I would recommend both to anybody looking for a nice setup on a budget. The one downfall I've found with the sigelei and I do mean the only one is that the door on the mod itself to hold your battery slides. This becomes a real nuisance to others when you get addicted to holding your mod and rapidly sliding the door open and closed.

The first month was the hardest for me. Congratulations and welcome to the ECF gang.

Welcome MrNanners! And congratulations on your vaping conversion! I myself am fairly new, and used to smoke 3/4 to 1 pack a day, and now I'm all vape baby! I wasn't a lurker myself, but after my father introduced me to this site, I can't stop posting! I'm sure you already know, but this is a fantastic very supportive community with plethoras of extremely useful, informative stuff. May your future be wealthy, healthy, and contain 0 analogs til the rest of your days!

EDIT: Now that I have my signature, it looks a little funny seeing a single day on. I've been smoking 1 cigarette a day in the morning for the past week, and my last was yesterday morning. Also I had a roller, so I'd buy a carton of tubes and a 6oz bag of tobacco for a total of $14.96 which I was able to roll 150 cigarettes or so with. So basically $2 a pack...The main reason for me not wanting to quit. Everyone else was paying $6 a pack while I was paying a dime a cigarette. It never really hurt my wallet, but it destroyed my conscience and health. So happy to be out of that trap!
