First post. Thank you for having me.

First post. Not much to say.
I'm a fairly recent vaper. I quit smoking a few years ago.
Got into vaping as a hobby (love the mods) and to keep me away from the kitchen.
I intend to use low or no nicotine e-liquids. I also plan on mixing my own e-juices.
I got an Ego-C already and I'm awaiting delivery on a Vamo V5, a Protank 3 and a Cartel Stillare V2.
Thank you for having me.

Welcome!

I have lost weight since starting vaping! Keeps me out of the kitchen also.

Yummy custards, no calories! Apple pie! No calories! Strawberries and cream, No calories!

You get the point...

I think you are wise to start mixing your own juices, it will save you a lot of money and you will get what you want made for what you are vaping it in. Welcome to the forums

Welcome!

The more the merrier.

Thank you all for making me feel welcome.
May I ask what you think of my hardware choices? (Vamo V5, Cartel Stillare V2 and Protank 3)
I'm also trying to acquire the skill to build improved coils/wicks.

Welcome to ECF! I have been vaping only since the first part of February, and I went the Ego, MVP, SVD route before starting with mechanicals. I've used and have a bunch of Protanks, IClears, a Nautilus, even a Kayfun Lite Plus. Learned coil building with the Kayfun. It was my favorite topper by far before getting into dripping. Dripping also led me into Reos, and that's where I am at and will stay at. That's my history. But for you, your selection may be very good for you. I've seen good reviews on the Stillare. Mixing your own juices is definitely the way to go! Learn your coil building. I learned mine from u-tube. Excellent coil building videos by RIP Trippers, SxMxDrifter, and others. You can also find equipment reviews in abundance there. It's a happy journey, enjoy!

Wow! Wish I was losing weight! Lol
But of course I am a fairly recent non smoker. Will admit though, the terrific flavors have kept my weight gain down to only a few pounds!

Thank you for the replies.
pwheeler: You made me look up what an REO is. Thanks. Beautiful stuff. Do you use a kick?

Welcome to ECF! Can't answer your questions, but wanted to poke my head in and say HELLO!

 

[Jugband]

Welcome to ECF! Glad your here. Until pwheeler checks back in, I can help you out with your Reo question. That's all I use now also. A kick is not necessary for the Reo. I've used a kick in all my other mechs but the Reo performs perfectly as is. My opinion anyway.

Welcome! Ull love this place!

My stuff has arrived (Vamo V5, Cartel Stillare V2 and Protank 3).

First impressions:
Vamo V5: No comment. Performs as expected. Good quality.
Protank 3: To early to tell. Dual coil is a pain to rebuild. Couldn't do it with the Kanthal 28 wire, I think it will require a 32AWG. Airflow feels restricted.
Stillare V2: This is the star of the bunch, awesome. Impecable quality. Running at 1.2 Ohm (Vamo V5 can't handle less than that).

I feel like I'm vaping with the big boys (and girls) now.

Lol. Congrats and enjoy your new setup

Vaping on my new Kayfun 3.1. Using FlavourArt's Hypnotic Mist (7%) 50/50 with 12mg nic. My pleasure level is at a new height.

 

[dailywalker]

The kayfun is a very good topper. Glad you enjoy it.
Protank 3 - I think you can also put regular coils in that tank might be easier to use and rebuild. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Good luck on trying to stay out of the kitchen I am so trying to do that myself.
OH Welcome to the forums!

 

[jp001]

dailywalker: I agree with you completely.
I'm still running through a set of Protank 1.5 Ohm coils I bought. I tried to rebuild one of them with dual coils and it was a major pain. I believe that the dual coil brings a warmer draw but that's about it.
