First time on this forum

Hi guys,

My name is David and it's my really first step onto this forum. I quit smoking just over 3 months now and vaping has made it possible ! I own a EVO electronic cigarette... yeah the cheap one that you can buy at any corner store but it has been working just fine ! I'm looking forward to buy another one but there is so many choices !

Thank you, David

Welcome David. Perhaps look into the Innokin T18 for your upgrade in devices. I think it runs about 25 bucks online and everyone speaks highly of the unit. At any rate, Welcome to the ECF forums - David

Hello and welcome to the forum @dav19e. Glad to have you here!

If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.

Nicotine

A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.

06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes

eLiquid/Juice

PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.

VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"

PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Many juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

Hi and welcome!

Choices? Yep, there are lots, as in lots ... but what I would suggest is try to narrow it down by figuring out what you want from your vape ... clouds or flavor ... single or multiple battery ... pre-made or DIY coils ... VG/PG ratio ... high/mid/low/0 nic ...

Just a warning: if you can, avoid the quite-common vapers' affliction ... shinyitis
