Hi and welcome! Glad you're off to a good start.

3 days is not to be underestimated! It's gonna get easier.

Hey Lupinehorror, welcome and congrats to you! That's fantastic, 3 days is a big milestone! ECF is a great place to get more knowledge. I like your username....

thanks everyone for the warm welcome and support. i'm a bit of a tech geek so there will hopefully be some modding and fiddling with coils. already got a new 4ml atomiser on the way (Melo III)

Welcome and you're in the correct place as there are lots of tech geeks here ..... I am one myself, just not so much with vaping hardware these days.... Glad you are here.

cheers folks. experimenting with wattage and the differences between .3 Ω and .5Ω
still early days but the mental flip has been made and it feels great.

Welcome to the ECF lupinehorror. And Good Job on Quitting.



Keep Doing what you are Doing. And Make Sure you have Back-Ups for your e-Cigarette/e-Liquids.

 

[lupinehorror]

thanks to you both...and for the links...got a lot of stuff bookmarked.
just got another istick pico, two more 18650s and more liquids (unicorn blood anyone?).
no way i'm going back to tobacco.
looking into coil wrapping

 

[stols001]

Good for you, Lupine horror. I rather quickly got a backup mod (which turned into my main mod) and another tank to start really minor coilbuilding but it comes with storebought coils, so if I have issues, I should be fine. Glad vaping is going so well for you

[lupinehorror]

cheers Anna. do let me know how you get on...will do some serious research next month and take the coil plunge.

 

[lupinehorror]

an update...of sorts. the replacement pico is a bit odd. same 30W settings, same 0.5 coil, same air intake settings (fully open), same cell and same oil. the problem is it's far too fierce. the eleaf coils are rated 30-80W so i can see that being the issue any suggestions apart from lowering the W as i've already tried that.

[lupinehorror]

oh and...16 days! no tobacco.

oh and...16 days! no tobacco.

Congrats on the 16 days without death sticks !!

 

[lupinehorror]

cheers! one vice down

 

[AXIOM_1]

Yeah quitting the death sticks is probably one of the hardest things in life to do but without vaping it would be VERY hard to do..... Soon you will see (if you haven't already) that you can get just as much of a "fix" off of vaping than you can with smoking.

 

[lupinehorror]

aye...it has made it a whole lot easier...possible in fact. feeling the fix just fine also!
