Hello from Sunny Malaysia!

[loopy]

Hi all,

I'm very new to vaping and it's been two days since I got my first PV (an Ego-T 1100mah with the clearomizer). I have to say I am very impressed with how this has helped kicked my urge for regular cigarettes! I have been smoking for 15 years and a pack generally lasts me two days. But I could never quit the stinkies. My husband who's a non-smoker is very happy for me as he has been encouraging me to give up smokes for a long time.

A few weeks ago, I saw several colleagues using PVs and got curious. After doing some research, I decided to get a system for myself too. I am so happy to have made the switch! Although it's only been two days, I can already feel the difference. I breathe better and feel more active. I've always had a keen sense of smell and taste so I'm not really noticing a difference there but perhaps in the long run.

I still do think of ciggies but I just reach for my PV and take a couple of puffs, and the craving goes away

So, I've now ordered a backup set and a few more different e-liquid flavours. I am currently vaping on peach, which is quite nice. I used to be a menthol light smoker and have a bottle of mint menthol juice, which I'll be trying soon.

Overall, I am so very glad to have discovered the e-cig. The goal to quit smoking and nicotine completely seems to be a lot more achievable now.

Thanks for creating this forum too. I have found so much useful information from the members here and hope to participate more frequently.

Hi Loopy!!! Big welcome to the ECF and congratulations on kicking the stinkies lol.
Hey, good choice of kit straight off the bat. Malaysia truly Asia, is my FAVORITE country, and I am so happy to finally welcome a girl, since all the other Malaysian members are men! What juice are you vaping? I know you said the flavors, but which brand?

Hi and welcome to the forum! It's great to have you with us! Vaping tastes SO much better than smoking, I actually wish I had found it sooner! A lot of people enjoy a bit of menthol along with the fruit flavors. You could try mixing a tiny bit of the two of them to see if you like that better. I would only add a drop or two to the peach though as you don't want to kill the flavor as menthol is probably stronger.....

Enjoy!

Thanks for the welcome, dragonbone!

The peach flavour is from Hangsen. But I discovered this local e-liquid producer and he has quite a few interesting tropical flavours, with durian being one of them. I'm not sure if you're familiar with durian but it's a really smelly tropical fruit! I will never vape on that because I'm not a fan of durians although I'm Malaysian ;-) I've just ordered red apple, honeydew and pandan. Not very sure what they'll be like.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Snus! Also, thanks for the tips on mixing menthol with fruit. I will definitely try it out.

Hey Loopy, Well done for making the switch Vaping is certainly much more fun than smoking. The only worry I had when smoking was if I had enough cigs, matches or lighters, if the country I was in would carry my Brand or finding similar.
Now, it's all about devices, testing flavours and what to buy next.
Welcome and have fun

Welcome, Loopy! The good news is that it gets easier... You'll still get the occasional craving, but after a day or two, you'll find it easier to not smoke than the idea of starting to quit again...

Hi meli, and thanks for the welcome! I honestly didn't think vaping would be this effective. And I think I'll have a lot of fun "shopping" for accessories and flavours too ;-)

Hi, Kopfstimmen! I think it doesn't help that I still have unopened packs of cigs lying around the house so I need to get rid of them quick. I'm feeling really good about my choice to switch!

Hi, ShogaNinja! Thanks for the link but I'm afraid it doesn't work for me. I need to be a verified member to view it. I love this forum, I've already learned quite a bit today

Hey Loopy, Yep, I know durian and EWE, ewe, yuck, I can't eat it. I have tried three times, but the smell is so overpoweringly terrible, that the taste is masked and forgotton instantly hehe...
