Hello, I'm new

[tresgay]

I got my first little kit in mid December and quickly came to understand that a passthrough would be better for my weekdays. I drive between 3k and 5k miles per month. I'm still having trouble with reaching for and using analogs, but I think that is because the juices I bought are too low in nicotine.

I thought I had registered previously, but I guess I hadn't. I've been lurking daily since late October.

Does anyone know how quickly I am allowed to hit my first five posts? There is a user selling liquids and I would like to PM him to take them off of his hands, but I can't send PMs until I have five posts here.

Thanks!

You can hit your five posts as fast as your little hands can type out 5 non-spammy posts!

Welcome to ECF!

ETA: Oh, but then you have to wait about an hour for the interwebz software stuff to catch up.

Welcome Tresgay! I have a Passthru for my Saber Touch VV and use it almost all throughout the day. I've been told to not plug it into my computer or anything that may not give it a constant stream of the proper voltage. I don't know what the consensus on using it with a car/automobile would be. I'm sure someone will say so.

As for reaching for analogs, I smoke 2-3 analogs per week still (I started in December too). They make me sick to my stomach because they taste so bad. Eventually, as you slow down on the analogs, you'll just not WANT to smoke analogs anymore. I'm pretty much at that point, because I light my analog then realize after I light it that I don't even like it.

I don't think there is any real spam filter on posts, just make sure you're actually contributing with what you post. Just like any other forum.

There are many users here who sell their own juice, as well as lots of websites that do. I personally pick most of my juice up from Kokomo Pure Vapors here in Indiana, as opposed to dealing with the internet.

Take care and happy vaping!

Congratulations and welcome to ECF! You do a lot of driving, and I'm glad you will be vaping. The car was always difficult for me. You will do just fine!

Congrats and welcome to vaping and the ECF boards! You can just keep replying in this thread, or do what I did and say hi and welcome to other new members.

Thank you for the warm welcome and the information!

I think that in addition to the too-low nicotine level in my juice, I'm kind of addicted to the ritual of lighting up the analogue. I'll get past that, though

Hi Retriever,

The car and hotel rooms were always the issue for me. Since starting vaping I've only stayed in non-smoking hotels. They smell a LOT nicer! I still struggle a bit with the car, but being home with my smoking gf is the hardest right now. I was doing fine until I visited my SUPER SMOKING mother for a few days over Christmas. I caved in a big way and am wobbily getting back to where I was before that visit.

Thanks for the welcome!

Haploe: How about if I say hello to you, too?!

Thanks for explaining that I don't need to wait a certain number of days before getting in my five.

Hello Spazmelda, I love your user name. Thanks for explaining how it works. Congrats on almost five months cigarette free!

Hello, DietSalem!

I have a power inverter (aka power transformer) in my car that has a USB port in it. I was going to use that for the passthrough, but the voltage (?) seems to be inconsistent. So I use the passthrough in a converter plugged into the cigarette lighter - that seems to have a smoother, more consistent power output.

I wish I had a vendor in town, but I don't. There is a vendor where my mom lives in Richmond, but his juice makes my throat close up so I can't use his. I think that eventually I would like to mix my own using bases that already have the nicotine in them. I don't want to work with cutting down super high nic content - I'm excellent at math and chemistry, but I'm afraid of making a mistake and getting sick. I'll leave the handling of nicotine to the experts!
