Amateur here and need guidance

[zljones]

Yo,
I'm totally new to vamping and am mainly starting out because someone I met briefly showed me how to do it, but due to unrelated urcumstances I can't ask him for advice on vaping.
After a bit of research is saw that this seemed to be pretty good?
Kanger EVOD Mega Starter Kit (1900mAh) ⋆ MistHub
But, really, I don't know what to look for and what not to look for.
If any of you have advice or suggestions it would be fantastic

Hello and welcome to the forum @zljones. Glad to have you here!

Where do you live?

If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.

• A Good Starter's Setup for a Beginning Vapor
• Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods
• Proper Terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments
• Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors
• Beginner Video Playlist

Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:

• The Three Main Types of Ecig
• Vaping Slang and Acronym

Nicotine

A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.

06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes

eliquid/Juice

PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.

VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"

PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Many juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

Welcome zljones.

Get ready for a ton of information to come your way.

If you are a smoker or an ex-smoker the one thing I would suggest is get at least two devices. If the batteries or the device die you don't want to go back to smokes.

Good luck on your quest.

My recommendation for beginners kit is an iStick 30 and a Nautilus tank. Welcome to the board.
