Gday from Oz :)

Hi there!

Well it was only a few weeks ago that i discovered the world of Vapour and ecigs! I must admit I got all excited about it, the thought of quitting analogs (lol i only just figured out what that meant a few days ago) is something that has been on my mind lately. So i did a little research and read through a few threads on here and took the plunge. I was a pack a day (20-25) smoker for the last 18 years.. Im also a type two diabetic (diagnosed roughly two years ago). Im thinking one thing at a time.. and what better than quitting the analogs!

So here I am, introducing myself. A few days ago I received my Ego-C 1000mAh (still totally lost about all the different models and parts lol) and I tried it out.. was different but had no kick i got from the analog..Then i got the liquid nicotine i ordered last week (arrived yesterday) and wow what a difference that made (got my throat kick yay) ! ok so its only been two days, but i haven't bought or smoked any analogs .. so fingers crossed!

Anyways at the moment im still learning all the vapour jargon, different mix types, and mixing ratios and techniques.. I look forward to learning more about this new world, and hopefully even make a few friends! I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.. i guess this is the best way i can describe it..

so i'll leave it here..and go learn a little bit more... dont be shy to say gday!

K from Sydney ohh ill go look for an awesome counter for my signature now..

G'day K.
Welcome to ECF.

 

[PapawBrett]

Another from the Land Down Under. Several of your countrymen (including a young lady named scarf-ace) here at ECF. And all of the people here at ECF will help you with any questions you might have. Welcome

 

[scarf-ace]

Heya Khemist. Welcome. Happy to help if you need advice. Best hardware vendors in our land, IMO: Vapebar, JuiceWh o r e, Ecigmodshop, and Vapeking Between those four you will find most everything you need (except nicotine, natch).

Heather's Heavenly Vapes makes fantastic E-liquids and doesn't gouge you for international shipping.

H-E-L-L-E-R, CONGRATS & WELCOME from the U.S! You now have waay over 100,000 friends now & that was before more countries joined. It's 24-7 & the best community you could join, we have brilliant minds in ecf to answer, asvise, listen, commiserate, encourage & celebrate. I never looked back from my first vape, finding what I've always craved but my better half took longer, you're on the right road now & is the hardest step, be proud! We're happy you feel better, wait & see 3-4 months from now, it keeps getting better, except maybe your wallet if you get crazy spending. What Milligram # is your juice/liquid? The amount of nicotine has to do w/throat hit, but you also don't want higher than you need. Also, what are you using w/your eGo battery? Cartomizer, Atomizer, Clearomizer, Tank? There's lots of great things to try that aren't expensive & always something new/innovative, a very exciting time to be a Vaper! You'll be surprised how quick you learn terminology & names/categories of products, esp. by talking/writing in ecf. You could even make your own liquid one day, not too hard & very fun/cost effective. Also, good luck reigning in the sugarbetes monster too, one thing at a time, you can do it!!!

G'day khemist,

I've got links to some signature banners on my ECF blog, here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/kiwivap/3096-how-do-i-get-forum-signature.html

You'll need 15 posts for before you can have a sig. How to on my blog post too.

I used to smoke 40-50 a day myself, but have been smoke free nearly 8 motnhs now. Vaping is amazing.

G'day khemist,

Still a newbie myself.
I've been off the durries over 2 months and you're going to be so glad you made this decision.... and a big onya for having a go
It all seems a little daunting with some of the terms in regards to vaping, but a good look around this site irons out much of the confusion.

Goodonyam8! I hear eJuice is made from Kangaroos, though... hope you're ok with that.

G'day khemist from down Melbourne way

It took me a while of playing around with different mixes, cartomizers & cleromizers but when you find what works for you its great. Been 4 weeks tomorrow since i have had a smoke.
