my names manny and im new here on the forums. im not sure if there is a thread dedicated for introductions or not, so i just decided to make a new one? please do correct me if im doing something wrong i dont want to disrespect any rules ^^

any way.. im new to vaping. I've never really been a smoker but most my friends and family are engaged into smoking so i always end up craving for a ... my self, however i wanted to stay away from the tobbacco or tar dangers away from my system. I decided to use e-cigs instead as the best alternative out of fags, sheesha or pipes... how ever people keep scaring me that e-cigs ar as bad as any other such habit and now im hesitating. I've only been vaping 5 days now...

i'd love feed back

hope every ones having a good day

Hey Mannie! Welcome to ECF! There is plenty of info on here if you think you are worried, what are you currently vaping on?
Really E-Cigs are just what you said, they are a habit, Good or Bad is what you make of it. IT is better than smoking traditional Cigs and provides smokers with the nicotine that they want.
What are people trying to scare you with? There is a TON of junk science that is floating around right now so just read up on as much as you can and that way you can give a good informed explanation of the benefits of vaping vs smoking tobacco. We have all been there and the best thing to do is hunker down and read, make an informed decision for yourself

Happy Vaping

ive started on with the starter kit with the 6ml bottle where was im using basic flavours ed cherry and apple.

Also i have read up some informaton for example some articals say nicotine is an organic substence found in most vegetables and not very harmful, where as other articals say even a small bit is extremely harmful... so im getting a bit of mixed reviews. since im the only one using e-cigs around here i dont have much direction about this... thats y im so glad to find this forum :3

(also excuse my spelling as english isnt my first language)

Welcome Manny! Hello Everyone.
Thanks for setting up a introduction page.
My name is Sab.

I wouldn't say I am new to vapes, but more like new to building my own. I have a general understanding of the workings and will be building my own atomizer very soon. My biggest problem is trying to decide on what kind of mod I need to be using for my vape set up. I want a build that accommodates both flavor and a cloud chasing set up, however I would like a fast heating coil that you can control the heat limit on. I find mechanical mods to be very useful for the limitation on heat, but they tend not to heat fast enough for my liking.
If you have any ideas, please share.

Welsome Sab! Please start your own thread. Your questions can't be covered in this thread without confusing everyone trying to help Manny.

No problem.

My apologies.

Hi Manny and welcome to the forum!

Nicotine at a very low percentage in solutions is pretty safe. The vaping liquids that you buy have a low percentage of nicotine similar to what's in cigarettes.

Nicotine at a high percentage in solutions can be dangerous. When making your own juices, you might buy solutions that have a very high percentage of nicotine so that you can dilute it for your juice mixes. This is where you must be careful, because the high-percentage solution can be dangerous.

Hope that helps to clarify things. Just ask if there are still questions.

Happy Vaping!

You don't have to use nicotine in vaping. most all juice comes in 0 nic level.
