Hello newbie alert

[wwdragon]

Hello all.

Little bit about me, 51 years old and smoking since I was 10. As of Saturday me and the gf have stopped smoking. As she only smoked about 4 cigs a day she is good but I stopped at a vape shop and bought me a ego twist battery X2 and an Aspire aromatizer there for $9. I am using Dvine e-juice 18MG nic.

The other day I went out and bought an Aspire K1 which I like much better and I tried a new juice called Brickquid (Vape Mode).

It seems I am not drinking enough water as my voice sounds hoarse as of 2 days ago. I got a ton to learn and from lurking this seems like the place to be

So hello from freezing cold Montreal Canada

Welcome to ECF! Congrats to your new future without cigarettes!

I am relatively new to Vaping, but I have found ECF to be a fantastic resource for Vaping and getting off of cigarettes. You will find the people here are the best!

The first thing that I think about when a new vaper mentions throat irritation is priming coils. Did you make sure to prime your coil before you first fired it up?

 

[wwdragon]

Hello and thank you for the welcome

Yes they are both primed, the shop actually did it for me to show me how it is done. 5 drops in the coil then the rest filled up. I never let the tank run totally empty so the coil will not dry out.

You have quite a bit of reading to do--the more you read the more you will enjoy vaping. Quitting stinkies will become easier.

Congratulations on you and your GF for quiting smoking! You will find a lot of helpful info on here and if you don't see it just ask. It's like one big family here at ecf

Fyi I started on a kanger evod 2 starter kit make sure to buy extra batteries because you will put some wear on them and when your really having a craving having a battery keep a charge is important! Good Luck

Thank you for those links, slowly I am learning but doing it my way and not letting myself be pushed by the guy in the store who seems to think I want to be a cloud chaser lol. I just want to quit smoking and one day get my nic MG down to 0 and just enjoy the vape

Right now I am vaping tobacco flavored juice and I like it, I did try a butterscotch juice and all I can say is nom nom nom lol I have the K1 filled right now for my gf to try when I see her on Saturday hee hee

I got 2 batts now so one is always charged. Nothing like waiting for 2 hours in the morning for your batt to be charged while you are craving a nic hit lol

 

[leftyandsparky]

I'm 37 yrs old and smoked for 22 yrs. So what ever you like and it works for you go for it! I smoked my last cig on 10-28-15 so I'm still learning too!

Hello and welcome. It's now two months since I've given up analogues and vape exclusively. The interaction here and the questions I've asked and all the wonderful responses have been a part of the reason I've been able to continue with vaping without resort to cigarettes. This forum is very therapeutic.
I too have a K1 Aspire kit, two in fact. Its what I carry around when I leave home. For being so slim and handy, it has great vapour and flavour production for mouth to lung and its hard to beat for its size. Very natty looks too. Stick with it and good luck.

Hello & welcome from the UK, wwdragon

 

[wwdragon]

I am finding so much info on this forum I am getting information overload lol. I have to admit, you guys are a friendly bunch and I thank you for that. I know I will have a ton of questions sooner or later once I grow tired of this starter kit I have, while it is working for me now I can see myself wanting to upgrade sooner or later. So many choices lol

 

[leftyandsparky]

Don't feel bad I upgraded to a provari ( got it for my hubby but stole it from him) Now its love at first vape with it!

Congrats on quitting. And 4-6 batteries is barely enough backup
Just in case you need an excuse to buy some more...

Oh dear, don't say that. my gf already thinks I spend too much on RC planes, if I really get into this I am doomed lol

Question, I have added that not smoking siggy thingy to my personal details as BB code. On that page it is showing, how come it is not showing as my signature?
