Hello, I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say "hi"
I'm Cat and fairly new to vaping, going on a few weeks. I started smoking when I was 9 and stopped when I was 15 for 'the love of my life' to whom I'm still married to
I never lost the craving or thoughts about cigs, though, and picked it up again a couple of times, but totally dropped it when my oldest son asked me when I was going to die
so I quit again.
After seeing my brother-in-law with an e-cig and then my son bringing one home from work, I wanted to try it, and I loved it. Nicotine without the ciggy toxins. I toyed around with the Blu (my first ecig) and noticed an increase in focus as well as pain reduction from my arthritis. I also enjoyed the simulated 'smoking' action.
After much research, I discovered that some people smoke or vape for ADHD, which I have a mod/severe case of and can't take the Rx stimulants without adverse reactions, there are even studies using patches with success (please note, I am not advocating or recommending using nicotine for this purpose, this is only my experience and am sharing how I got into vaping). So, after much thought, I decided on vaping over patches or gum.
I started with Blu, but I quickly hated how fast the carts ran out and even more how the batteries needed charging. Then, I upgraded to a Kanger Evod blister pack and I was thrilled with it until it came time to fill the tank, the post is short and using a dropper was/is difficult, and then I only had one battery and of course I was without while it charged. Then I got another cheapo battery as a back up, and cheapo it is, and then.....it goes on, lol. I'm discovering that it is an expensive venture until you work out the quirks/likes/dislikes to find the right set up, and of course all the juices/liquids pg vs vg and so on and so forth
At the moment I am using my Evod battery and a VV 650 ego spin-off and going between Aspire BDC clearos, plastic, and my newly arrived nautilus mini. I am waiting on an Innokin VV VW version 3 battery and a couple of pro tank mini 3s to arrive in the mail. I like BDC tanks due to less of a throat hit/smoother inhale than top but, I'm feeling that the Aspire clearos require too much draw giving me jaw pain, while the Nautilus, I so wanted to like it, has no warmth at all and is giving me grief with the gurggles, sigh...so am hoping I like the protank mini 3s better.
Any other experiences with Nautilus issues and how to resolve them would be appreciated
Sorry for the novel, but wanted to introduce myself and all. Looking forward to getting more antiquated with everyone.
Adios for now and happy vaping
