Hi coulnerz and welcome. Usually, it's not recommended to start vaping when you have never smoked. Keep your lungs clear. Vaping is way less harmful than smoking, but not doing either is the BEST you can do for yourself. If you are determined, however, all you need to know is here. Good luck with your GF!!

 

[coulnerz]

thanks Katmar! I agree with u...!
but would vaping cause bronchitis? ?I wonder. ..

No. Not unless you have an underlying condition.

 

[coulnerz]

phew thanks Katmar!

 

[rgerber]

Agree with Katmar...

If ya want to vape, go ahead! I know a lot of people that do it and never have smoked. There could be tons of reasons why you may find it beneficial. Im sure that some people may use it to stop eating junk food, drink, etc. There are some risks involved, but thats the truth with pretty much anything these days. Hope ya find some good flavors!

Hello and welcome to the forum @coulnerz. Glad to have you here!

particularly interested to making my own juice for own consumption but not sure if that's ok for newbie like me.

Be prepared to do a lot of reading.

The one Malayaysian flavoring company I have seen members in Singapore talk about is Fcukin' Flava
However they are temporarily closed as they have been overwhelmed with orders.

Singapore members also can find Lorann locally. You may be able to as well. Here is a link to a thread on Lorann: LorAnn Flavors- COLOR CODED Complete Ingredients List. Not all of their flavoring are safe to vape with. If you can find some of the other flavoring companies (listed below) I would go with them instead of Lorann. I use mostly FA, TFA & Capella (and a few from IN & FW).

For all things DIY head on over to the DIY ELiquid Forum. Lots of great info in all the "stickies"

Below is the information I often give to members new to DIY.

• Recommended Reading For People New to DYI
• For a juice mixing calculator consider using eJuiceMeUp

Here are some threads you may like to read through for different flavoring companies. Many of the posts include recipes and comments about a specific flavor.

• Flavor Arts (FA) - Flavour Art Thread
• Flavor Arts (FA) DIY Flavor Descriptions (also follow links to HIC's Recipes/Notes)
• The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) - The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread => Also see Bill's Magic Vapor's Blog (Lots of Recipes)
• Inawera (IW) - Inawera - a few reviews
• Capella (CAP) - DIY Capella's Recipe Thread v2.0
• Hangsen (HS) - The Hangsen Thread
• Flavor West (FW) - Flavor West DIY flavor review

What mod & tank did you get?

If you (or your GF) is 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.

• A Good Starter's Setup for a Beginning Vapor
• Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods
• Proper terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments

Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:

• The Three Main Types of Ecig
• Vaping Slang and Acronym

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.

Welcome to the forum.

Those links Susan gave are excellent. Making your own juice is a great way to inexpensively get good juice and also a great hobby. Just get a good reliable starting set-up for you and your girlfriend.

Good luck.
