I dont wanna say so much as some of the countries that ban it in Asia monitor this forum, but perhaps you would like to check out the ECF forum for that particular country, which you can search for. we have forums for many countries here. You gotta get 5 posts here in NM first though. Happy vaping.
And welcome here!
As an example, we have a Japan forum
Japan Forum | E-Cigarette Forum
A Malaysian one
Malaysia Forum | E-Cigarette Forum
And an SG one

SG Vapers | E-Cigarette Forum


with info on where to get stuff.


Happy vaping and welcome to ECF!

Haha yeah trying not to reveal too much. Been lurking around. Maybe the veterans can help me here.

I'm a newbie to this, trying to quit analong smoking. Recently ive been increasing my sticks/day and i'm worried about it. Now i'm making a conscious effort to cut down. I do plan on quitting analog for my health in the future.

What should I get? I read about not getting a starter kit since i'll abandon it soon etc. Or should i?

Any great informative stickies i can read up on? Too many opinions not sure where can i read up from

I edited my above post to provide links... check em out.
Starter kits, I got one, Its a good way to get started. But you will probably abandon them quickly.

a mid range E cig regulated device such as an Istick or MVP 3 is probably better for you. That and a tank... Like an aspire, or kanger subtank, or Kanger tank...

Hello and welcome to the forum @XiaoCaiHong. Glad to have you here!:)

Another set-up you could look at is the Kanger Subox Mini Kit <= Video Review

If you live in a country where vaping is banned this kit give you the option to build your own coils (using the RBA base) and not have to try and source factory coils.

You would also need to get a good 18650 20A battery (like the Samsung 25r) and a good charger. Get the best charger that you can reasonably afford. Statistically most battery incidents occur while charging. Pila, Xtar, and Nitecore Intellicharger are the most recommended brands.

If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.
Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:
1. The Three Main Types of Ecig
2. Vaping Slang and Acronyms

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.
