Hello all. New rookie here!

[EnglishVaperKP]

Hello everybody. I am new to this forum and also I am new to vaping, , very new actually, only started last week but I'm also of the cigarettes a week now too. The thing is I'm looking to move up in the world of vaping as the Ego CE4 is what I'm using, it's a starter pack! Got it in a vape shop in Ireland! Can anybody lead me to information on moving up past this starter pack please? Every bit of help is much appreciated thank you!

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

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

• A Good Starter's Setup for a Beginning Vapor
• Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods

Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:

• The Three Main Types of Ecig
• Vaping Slang and Acronym

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. Some juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

Welcome.

There are lots of choice. I would say too many these days.

It's very important to avoid the useless stuff and the rip-off stuff. Google will help you find the rip-off stuff very quick, and you'll be convinced what you are reading is 'the gospel'.

The big brands will take your money in a heartbeat. The local shops will charge you more than online but provide useful 'testing' of hardware and liquids.

Personally, I'd just buy an iStick 30w or even the 40w which has temperature control. Start there, with either a mini Nautilus or subtank Nano/or mini.
