Another newbie here

[Blk04Snake]

Hi All,

I've made a couple replies already but figured I'd introduce myself. I've been lurking around and reading quite a bit over the past couple months and decided to jump in. Hope the stuff I've bought so far isn't a bad choice.

Yesterday I ordered an iTaste 134 in black, an Aspire nautilus, some AW batteries and Trustfire charger online from various places and 7 different juices in different flavors and strengths from Velvet Cloud Vapor.

A little about me.. I'm 38 and been smoking analogs for 25 years, currently about a pack and a half of Newports a day. I know I can't go on doing this forever unless I want forever to not be a very long time.

Even if I don't give up the stinkies immediately this looks like a fun hobby to get into. Hope I'm making the right choice. Can't wait for my stuff to show up this week.

Cheers.

Welcome Blk04Snake to ECF. I smoked 2 PAD and then started vaping. When I got to 3 cigarettes a day I knew then I could quit smoking. You'll know when the time is right for you to quite smoking....

Good Luck to You.

I'd say, yup. You're making an outstanding choice, imo. As far as a hobby goes, get ready! (Please see signature below )

Welcome aboard,

The 134 and nautilus seem very popular so those are good. Av batteries im hoping was a typo for AW batteries, and trustfire chargers are okay for starting out. Most won't recommend them because they have fire in the name. I personally prefer the nitecore and xstar chargers but the luc one's are also really good.

Welcome; the joke around here is don't trust any lithium battery with the work 'fire' in the name.
Then again, maybe it's not a joke.

the charger should do the job just fine i would just be careful not to over charge them by leaving them on the charger for a prolonged amount of time, welcome to ecf and vaping

 

[JaRod]

Yes, I mistyped.. I got AW IMR 18650 Li-MN Battery High Drain 3.7v 2000mAh.. These are good right? I'll look at these other chargers as I'm sure the 2 batteries I ordered won't be enough for the long haul.. Thanks!

Welcome!! I smoked for a long time. Been vaping to eliminate the cigs, now I enjoy the hobby.

I do not know how long batteries should be stored (unused) so I myself haven't wanted to keep too many extra batteries.

These are good batteries. I bought 4 just in case but usually only use 2 a day...always keep them charged though lol just in case

Welcome and congrats on moving toward becoming a vapor instead of a smoker!

Welcome to ECF. I think your making the right choice and if you feel its the right choice for you, then it most certainly is.

I buy my batteries in groups of 6, they typically last me a year rotating front to back each day. Then I replace them, with new ones. Everything gets dated so I know which are which, since right now I have about 30 batteries on my shelf. I usually recommend 3 batteries per device.

It's here, It's here! I loaded up some Caramel Swirl into the iclear and some Night Shift into the Nautilus. When the batteries get charged up I'll give this a whirl. The juices smell sooooo good, hope they taste this good! The iTaste, Nautilus, and juices came in the mail yesterday but the batteries didn't come until today. Yesterday I went to the only nearby B&M to see if I could get my hands on a battery. Asked the guy if he had any 18650 batteries and he looked at me like I was talking to him in French. Needless to say.. I won't be patronizing that place anymore. What a dive.
