Hi, I'm new to vaping and new to the forum. I've spent a lot of time reading forums and watching youtube videos of most of the varieties (no way could I say I've seen them all) of e-cigs, mods, etc. I first started with a CE4 and a bottle of e-juice from a kiosk at one of the malls here in Puerto Rico. Spent about $30.00. Being a pack-and-a-half smoker - I was surprised that I coughed every time I took a drag from this device. I knew a few people (via the internet) that were into vaping and they said I may just need to give it some time. Well after a couple of weeks of giving it a try - the coughing never stopped. So I stopped using the CE4 and increased my studies on the internet.
I decided that I needed to have some better quality e-juice and probably a better quality device to smoke it from. Because the lack of vendors here on the island - I was only able to find an itaste MVP 2.0 with itaste 16 tanks. So $100 later - I finally had a device that I could vape on that did not cause me to cough. I know I paid way too much for it - but I didn't have to wait another two weeks and pay the outrageous shipping fees.
I am ordering my juice from the states - as the island mixes don't seem to be any good. They don't know how the e-juice is mixed and for the most part only carry the 18% nicotine levels. I have found that the 6 or 12% levels are fine for me - with my goal to get to 0%.
I know that their is still a ton of info I need and I look forward to chatting with you folks.

Glad you got some good equipment and props for sticking it through and not jumping on the "excuses to not quit smoking " wagon because it doesnt always start off super easy for all of us. Perseverance is occasionally required for vaping and always pays off
