Another newbie - fast learner though

[Morgan24]

Hello,
I live in the Midwest.

I actually quit smoking over 10 years ago. I've missed it terribly.
I quit because of the cost of cigarettes and the smell in the house, my clothes, the car - the negative pressure from family and friends was overwhelming.

I've been watching the development of the e-cig over the years from a distance - thinking it was too good to be true.

About a week ago, I took the plunge and am enjoying it tremendously. Love all the flavors, mostly my beloved menthol.

I have a local shop where I bought a battery and cartridge (atomizer? - I'm still a little confused about the lingo) but would like to know if there are some safe online resources where I can buy DIY supplies, including 100 mg liquid nicotine. I've read all the warnings and would like to start small as I get familiar with the process so no wholesale.

Thank you in advance!
Morgan

Hi Morgan,

Welcome to ECF!

DIY makes a lot of sense, but is not for me!
Good luck on your journey!

Another site you may want to look into, RTS Vapes. I've ordered a lot from them. Also like My Freedom Smokes. Good luck, and have fun!

If you haven't been smoking for 10 years you might find that 0 nic is OK and you are just missing the act of smoking.

There is an entire forum here devoted to DIY juice and, after you get your 5 posts, that would be the place to start reading and asking questions.

ecigexpress is another good place to buy DIY supplies. I use them as well as the others mentioned. Get your 5 posts so we can help you out in the DIY section! This is a good place to start though so go ahead and ask any question you like or just share your experiences so far.

to ecf Morgan24 and to the wonderful world of DIY. It is a lot of fun.

I have been really pleased with the RTS Vapes nic but I recently got found out about a new place. I am going to buy some from here because of the wonderful recommendations I received. Nicotine Solution - 100mg (1liter) - VAPERMAFIA

I get my pg and vg from http://www.essentialdepot.com/servlet/the-218/1-Gallon-Veg-Glycerin/Detail

I use Vaping Zone gourmet and super concentrated flavorings because you use so little of them it seems more economical for me.

Good luck to you and happy mixing.

Thank you all sooo much.
I have tried several of your recommendations and will report back in how they all work.

I tried vaporstek ejuice products (saw a posting from them on the forum here) and love them.

I was buying the ejuice from Wild Bills, new store near me, but I don't like their products after trying vaporstek.

hello and welcome!

I vape at 3 mg/ml, and a 120 ml bottle of 48 mg nic base lasts a year. You don't want to buy wholesale, right? LOL. Try 0mg for a while, and see if you it satisfies you. After that long of not smoking------

Hello, I used an e-cig for a bit but then I changed to a vaperizer. Works better for me.

I accidentally picked up a 6 mg ejuice bottle and when I realized how much I was truly enjoying it, I went to look at the bottle and sure enough it had nicotine.

It isn't just the action of smoking but the nicotine I miss. I researched it and it is clear that I am one of those people who reacts well to nicotine. I don't need the tar and stuff from tobacco but the nicotine is very relaxing for me and seems to even help me concentrate.
