From social smoker to full time hookah addict... Now vape only.

[mavictb]

So I have smoked socially for 10 years or so but never really smoked unless I was drinking which until the last few years was often. I also dabbled with pipe tobacco off and on. After going to a local smoke shop many years ago I was convinced to try hookah and I was hooked. I was smoking unwashed long cut shisha for 30-120min a night. Problem is hookah is crazy expensive... coals... shisha hoses bows etc etc etc. and non portable. I have been looking for a solution to quitting all these other tobacco products while still getting my nicotine and enjoying a smoke like experience.

So I recently picked up a eGo-V V2 Mega battery and a couple iClear 16s and a iClear 30.

I am still finding what e-juice works more me to give a more hookah like experience without sacrificing nicotine content. 12mg+ seems to be my sweetspot so I can vape longer.

For me I want the LEAST TH possible but a lot of vapor... basically simulate hookah. Any suggestions?

I already have a VV battery so that helps... I am getting some 100% vg juice as I hear it may help towards my vaping goals.

suggestions on an atty or other device to obtain my goals?

heres a picture of the v2 mega with the iClear30 and the flair tank cone for a sleeker look.

Congrats, for more cloud production and less throat hit you can use 100% VG liquids. As far as devices, your iclear 30 is capable, may want to look into rebuildable drippers later, or other types of rebuildable atomizers. It depends on how much you want to tinker as well.

If you would like a cooler vape, airier draw, lighter throathit, then try a Kanger Pro Tank -- under $20, replaceable heads, bottom coil

I've had two eliquids that my son says remind him of hookah (I haven't tried hookah, so taking his word on it).
Wonderland from HellaVapor - chocolate plum tobacco, yum
Blue Honey from VapeDudes - blueberry honey, no tobacco

Enjoy your new adventure... and if you find flavors that remind you of your hookah day you should share, I know my son and I would be interested.

Yeah I was being cheap and went with the iclear30 rather than the pro tank now I am kicking myself. It is next on my purchase list but My initial investment so far has reached my budget for this month.
I will try to post my findings as I am sure I am not the only converted ex-hookah person. now I have hundreds of dollers in hookah stuff and no use for it... at least they look cool hahaha.
thanks for the input

Ended up ordering the Kanger protank... also ordered the evod in stainless. I have yet to use the iclear 30... considering selling it because it seems the iclear style top mounted atomizer isnt for me.

now just waiting. In the meantime I got the iclear 16s working semi okay for me... still too much TH but that may also be attributed to the juice im using.

Just a bit of an update.

For the hookah people I found a vape that is awesome. Dragons Tear from ECblend (Reduced PG, double flavor) is great... NO TH smooth and tastes great much like a creamy strawberry shisha but in vape form. If your looking for a hookah like vape this is it hands down.

As far as the eGo-V v2? yeah died today after 3 months use (about 40-50 hours of vape time)... it was nice while it lasted lol

So with no back up at the moment its a struggle to keep from getting a black n mild or some fresh shesha but im holding strong.

As far as a replacement? There is a Vamo V2 (I preferred the style and cheap price over the v3/v4 over the mild improvements) Got a couple 18650 sony batteries and a good charger to get me (re)started for around $50. Hopefully this will do me well for some time to come.
