Hi. I am a 43yo man from Australia. I quit smoking because of the awesome advancements of vaping nicotine along with harmless ingredients including flavours rather than smoking toxic combustible tobacco. My lungs are healthier, I don't have smokers cough any more and I would never go back to smoking. Thank you for the awesome forum! :thumb:
 
Welcome to ECF, Merciful. I'm glad you quit smoking and I'm gladder that the hoops yall have to jump thru over there don't seem to be holding you back from doing good for yourself.
Thanks somdcomputerguy. Yeah I quit smoking about 4 years ago and have been vaping ever since. I have even made some of my own mechanical mods (with certain protections and not going too low in the coil ohm department for said mods). It is still under debate here in the land of OZ about the nicotine thing in the juice. I ordered some 100mg/ml nic salts from overseas in VG carrier. I am still going on that and mixing it with some flavours that I stocked up on when other countries were tightening up on it and businesses were folding. I did a big relatively cheap order from Vape Wild when they closed down. I double the flavours to make them go further with pure VG. Not only does it satisfy the nic craves but also the sweet tooth so it gets me away from sugar. like lollies or candy or whatever. I think it is win win win but the governments seem to hate it because it doesn't earn them as much in taxes. They don't care about the health benefits. Just the almighty dollar. :mad:

Very nice,
You can also try some e-liquids with 50%VG and 50%PG ( or higher on VG 70% ) and normal nicotine ( no salt based ) so you ganna use lower percentage of nicotine, and i think it's better... !?
And latter on, you can try to make your own e-liquids, you can find concentrated flavors and can add a the other "ingredients" ! Or pre-concentrated flavors in the format of shortfills, for example they have the right amount of pre-made flavor in a bigger 60ml bottle so you only add your VG/PG mix and your nicotine percentage, you leave it for a few days to "mature" and you are good to go... !
If you follow some simple rules and guidelines from the factory, it's quite easy to make them... ! Just saying... !?

Yes I have made some of my own juice too. I just got some premade stuff super cheap and made it even cheaper by adding my own VG. I don't like PG. I have a bottle of Propylene Glycol if anyone wants it? I prefer Vegetable Glycerine because of the sweetness. Hence the satisfying the sweet tooth and getting away from sugary drinks and food. I vape at about 10mg nicotine. So 6ml of the 100mg/ml nic salts in a 60ml bottle of juice. 30ml of the original flavour, 6ml of the 100mg/ml nic in vg, and top up with 24ml of VG = 60ml of cheap 10mg nic juice. The flavour can sometimes be a bit lighter but with anything clapton and upwards in the coil department you can still really taste it plus you get the sweetness of the VG carrier. It works for me and saves a few dollars. I am only on a pension. However I haven't had to pay the exorbitant prices of tobacco for a few years so I was going to maybe get a few more box mods. I might start another thread asking for advice. I have been curious about getting away from 18650 cells so I will be looking at maybe a few single or twin cell 21700 mods. Any ideas?

I am thinking maybe

iJoy Avenger 270 AU $73.13 and​

Lost Vape Cyborg Quest AU $49.98 and​

Geekvape Aegis Max 2 Max100 Kit AU $70.26​


But I have only just started looking.

Let me know what you guys think?

there are actually a few flavours that are really strong so I can use 1/4 of that base to 3/4 of the vg and they still come across quite strong. like "the Sherbinator" from Vape Wild. it is quite acidic in the citrus flavour like a strong lemon.... I could maybe even cut it down to 1/6 or 1/8 base product...

Ah, very nice !

I like my mods to be small and simple as possible and plus i don't really like the mods with the leather - fabric texture on the back... ! So for now i have : ( a few old Joyetech Evic Mini 18650, Joyetech Espion Solo 21700, Aspire Zelos X 80W 18650, Double Barrel V4 2 X 18650, and a Mechanical Tube Mod Nemesis 30 by Atmomixani 28650 !
I was thinking to get another Aspire Zelos X, because i like its style and the fit on my hand, and it a pretty good for a "cheap mod for everyday use without caring so much..." !
( " If i remember correctly there aren't so many options on 21700 mod in general... !? " )
