Hey from Cape Town

Hey guys,

23 years old - been smoking since I was 19, recently at about 30 a day. What a waste.

Started using a Twisp about a year ago - really disappointing but it was the most marketed e-cig here. I always had problems with atomizers and batteries whenever I needed to use it.

Got the Boge Leo last month and cut my analogue use down to about 3 a week (just to remind myself why I don't like them anymore ).

Currently sitting with a dead atomizer and waiting for delivery tomorrow - most probably going to go through a pack of a nicorette tonight.

Well welcome to the "hobby" there is a lot of stuff out there to make you vaping experience better. Just start reading. Also quite a bit of new and exciting stuff right around the corner. Rule #1 is always have a backup PV

Yeah for sure, I have two batteries for the Leo but only got one atomizer, ordered 2 now so I effectively have 2 PVs.

Leo is definitely worlds apart from the Twisp, I get 10 hours of battery life from a single Leo charge compared to 2 (if I was lucky) with the twisp.

I actually had to Google Twisp

I see the Leo uses an 801 cart had not seen one of those before either. The Leo has a 800 mah battery so yes it should last a good bit. Cheers

Welcome to the forum. Maybe an extra day fiddling with the Twisp if it has any hope might beat the Nicorette.

After you have 5 posts and wait about an hour for a server update you will be able to go post in the international forums there is a SA forum I am sure some of the folks there can help you to find suppliers so you can buy some extras so you don't end up waiting with dead attys.

I'm trying to find a local supplier who might sell Boge accessories. My current supplier is beyond excellent (probably the best customer service I've ever experienced) but he's a day away which means I usually need to waits two days for delivery from the time I place my order. I guess my best bet is just to do a bulk order at some stage to hold me over for the year.

I see the Leo uses an 801 cart had not seen one of those before either.

The Leo is excellent, granted I haven't tried more than 2 e-cigs, but the Leo makes the transition from analogs painless. Solid throat hits for a good half an hour with 2 drops in the cartridge and one on the atty, still get good vapour for an hour or two after that but the TH isn't as intense.

The first TH after dripping is like inhaling with an altoid in your mouth - it hits you solidly, but has a coolness to it - very full and satisfying, give it a try if you ever get a chance.

Got my new atomizers! Ahhhhhh...So, so good.

So since Friday I've been on the analogues (hey, I LOVE smoking, I just hate cigarettes so I don't feel so guilty. ) But now I'm good to go. The best thing about vaping is that it's just BETTER than traditional smoking. It's not a substitute, its an upgrade. I feel so sorry for people who've tried to totally quit smoking with gum, patches, pills and shoddy PVs with batteries that die out in forty minutes (I can attest to that anxiety when the LED starts flashing and you don't have a back-up battery.)

One thing I've also noticed that with two weeks of vaping, I could wake up in the morning and not have that tight-chest-stomach-pit craving for a cigarette. After just two packs of analogues, it was back. Crazy.

Welcome to the forum. People seem to love boges, though I never used them. There are some dual coils, they rock
