well folks as a pack and a half day Newport 100 smoker for over 20 years i have finally had enough of the stink, burning clothes the constant badgering from the old lady to quit and also my final package arrived to day 
.
picked up a pair of vamo v5s and original protanks for my first set up .
after rinsing the tanks out , charging the bats , filling up a tank with nuport from nhaler for the first time. hands shook real bad while i poured the juice sad i know, but true. put everything together like i have read and seen in videos over and over checked the ohms read 2.6..hmm made sure i was in rms mode ,set the voltage according to the chart just to be safe and took a puff. not bad definitely not a cigarette but not unpleasant either . a couple more puffs and decided it actually tasted more like newport than i first thought so i thought to myself i can do this.....
a couple of things i have noticed as a newb and thought others might learn from are these.
1. when using a tank with a beauty ring make sure it is not loose or it will throw the ohm reading off atleast for me it seemed that way maybe i am wrong.
i was getting different readings with it as i used it until i noticed the slight rattle checked the ring and was loose so i tightened it to sit flush with the collar on the vamo put tank back on and it now reads 2.2 and seems to have settled there although it does fluctuate by around .1 ohm... is this normal?
2.the vape was not what i was expecting. not sure what i was expecting but this was more pleasant than i thought it was going to be .
3. was not difficult to set up so do not be intimidated .
4. i really REALLY think i can do this.
that was a 6:45 pm it is now 1:00 am and i have not had a single cig since then... i know it is only a very very tiny victory but a positive step nonetheless .now im not saying i am a non smoker now i still have a long way to go but hopefully i am on my way.
