A Saskatchewan newbie

Hi Everybody

I wanted to introduce myself and tell you up front that I'm the odd man out here; I haven't smoked for nearly 6 years....analogs or e-cigs.

My quitting was incredibly easy; I went to sleep a smoker ( had been for over 30 years...a pack a day), and woke up a non-smoker, with no urges to smoke whatsoever.


That sounds hard to believe, doesn't it? I left out a couple of parts of the story. I went to sleep....actually I was PUT to sleep by an anaesthesiologist, in preparation for a 17 hour surgery to remove a stage 4 cancer from my jaw.

I woke up a non smoker with no urge to smoke. The part I left out there was that there was 10 days between going to sleep and waking up. I had a heart attack in recovery, and spent the following 10 days in a coma in ICU.

Even If I'd had an urge, I couldn't have acted on it; I had a tracheostomy and was strapped down to the bed due to the number of lines and tubes hooked up to me.

BUT....that's past history, I survived, don't smoke and don't want to. My wife, however does smoke, and has never really even tried quitting...it stresses her out a lot. I want to try to help her at the very least convert to e-cigs as a healthier alternative. having her quit completely would be awesome, but unlikely.

For Christmas, I've got her a bunch of stuff; an Ego -T, spare batts, atomizers, carts, a couple cartomizers, different drip tips, about 15 different flavors of e-juice of different strengths and bases. a PCC, a USB pass through...everything I can think of to make it a pleasant experience.

I've gotten a ton of great advice from other vapers, and I'm looking forward to getting even more ideas and suggestions here!

Thats some post i must say .
Concerning your wife and this may have been mentioned to you is to try and find some e-liquid that matches what she likes such as coffee, tea, certain desserts she is fond of , fruits etc.
She may just love some of them.
Best to you.

Welcome to ECF and sorry about all of your problems.

For your wife I also recommend a normal 510 atomizer and drip tip for testing juices, and some Boge 2 ohm cartomizers (assuming the juices you got are thin enough for cartos) and use the cartos for any flavor you don't want hanging around in the atomizer, and for any cinnamon (damage plastic), and in case of atomizer problems.

I use 20% Vg or less in cartos though 30% will work. Tank attys and reservoir cartos like 30% or less though some thinner 50/50's may work. Normal atomizer can use any Pg/Vg as long as it flows at least as fast as you vape it. And I try to avoid dark or cloudy juices, at least as my main juices - those usually drop flavoring sediment that will clog stuffing and gunk up atty/carto coils.
