Hey, I'm totally new!

[Yield]

I'm looking into an e-cig because I tend to smoke when I'm around people who are smoking; my best friend started dating a smoker and now constantly smokes in her car and I've started doing it whenever I'm with her. I also tend to smoke if I'm drinking and there always seems to be a friend with a cigarette to offer in that scenario.
I'm going for 0 nic and hopefully learning how to mix some great flavors.
Was curious how many people are in the same boat as I am??

Yield,

If you are just now starting to smoke and only smoke with certain people my suggestion would be to get out while you can and stay away from smoking nicotine altogether. Seriously, I wish someone had said this to me 20 years ago.

While you may say 0 Nic this is the most addictive substance on the planet so it's not always straight forward.

Just my 2 cents.

Try 2 parts bubble gum and 2 parts propylene glycol. Or two parts whatever you think you like. I only mix with nic. If not enough vape ad more propylene.

Welcome Yield!

I'm not in that same boat, but I definitely support the use of an electronic cigarette!
The top main ingredients are:
Propylene Glycol (PG), gives more throat hit, bitter taste.
Vegetable Glycerin (VG), more vapor, sweeter taste.

Experiment with the two, along with flavorings, to find the juice that's right for you.

Have fun!

Actually if the vapor production is too low, you want to go with more VG. A 50pg/50vg mix will provide the best of vapor and flavor. Just add enough flavoring until you're happy with the taste.

I have a friend who is a social smoker. When we are out I toss him my backup and he uses it. Every once in a while he'll ask for a drop or two of my nic juice but other than that, he'll puff happily away on the 0 nic I've loaded up. This is the backup kit I keep 808-D Starter Kit
The cartridge that comes with it is 24mg and doesn't taste very well but it's a kr808 model. That site sells blank cartomizers and you can pick up some 0mg juice as well.
This is also a good spot for a cheap complete kit that is still top of the line and they sell the cartridges prefilled or empty.Starter Kits - Signature Series 808

Now do listen to what my friends have said above. It's not a habit yet so the best thing you can do is just not do it.
But if you must (like my buddy), I'd rather you have a good alternative you will use.

We have a great DIY section here, feel free to look around
