Epitome of Noob

Hi
I'm so glad to find this resource. I just discovered vaping, by finding my friend's device- not sure about the battery but the tank is an aspire nautilus mini
I gave it a toke and found it very nice. I have been a long time analog smoker and really didn't feel like quitting, however know that I should. I found a shop close by Puma Puff in St Paul, Jesse set me up with what he thought would work for me an aspire K1 with a CF VV power source in black carbon fiber-I cooked my first atomizer by toking too slow and it got too hot too may times-got a 5 pack and viewed a few youtube videos and tried taking a harder draw and voila oh baby I am hooked- Vermillion River juice in a caramel cupcake. I seem to be taking too long of hit as my battery will blink 3 times and stop the flow any feedback would be appreciated

The battery has a built in cutoff to keep it from staying activated too long. You've just been taking some long drags! Nothing wrong with that!

Go ahead and put down the smokes for good, OK?

Welcome to the forum. The mods and tanks have really improved recently, so spend a lot of time reading on here about the options. My suggestion is that if you find the current setup "lacking" you might want to step into something that gives more vapor. That's a very personal decision but I had the same issue as you with my first couple setups. I wanted more vape, and regularly "timed out" with a 10 second vape on an ego battery and tank.

Since then I've gotten into rebuildables and higher wattage stuff. I found the whole experience much more satisfying , and I don't really subscribe to the "graduate up" to more advanced stuff mentality.

I would have been happier and spent less money if I had gotten into rebuildable stuff right away. As long as you do the research, learn what you are doing ...and make sure you pay attention to safety when rebuilding.

That said , if the setup is working for you...no need to go buy more stuff. I just think if you're reaching cutoff pretty regularly, then you might be looking for something more already.

I am already down to less than half of my previous consumption of analog, since discovering how to hit this set up it won't be much longer
Thanks!

I found when i first started vaping was to try and change my habits like when you first get up or after a meal i always wanted a smoke so instead i would then vape till that urge went away and it seemed to help me quit completely within a week and never had another. Welcome and good luck.
