Hi everyone! I'm new!

[jmoahnn]

Hi there,

First of all, great forum with great info! I started vaping about 1 month ago, and have been hooked on this forum since then. The information was great and very helpful.

Anyway, I stumbled upon vaping by chance as I followed my friend to a shop. Since they were having a sale, i was like, what the heck, and bought myself a Ipv D2. The best part was I actually got a Goliath V2, without knowing what subohm was. This forum has been helpful I helping me figure out how to use the setup better.

Didnt think I would stick to vaping as I was coughing and choking for the first week. Pretty darn noob. And the flavors I had didnt appeal to me. The good thing was, I found some flavors I liked, got over with the coughing and choking, and im loving it. I have been smoking for about 18years now, about 20 analogs a day (up to 40 if im drinking). Now, I do about 2 a day, and im feeling great! Maybe except in the morning, when i take the first few hits, my throat will hurt.

Still a beginner, as im still using OCCs. Will learn how to do my own coils soon.

Just to end the intro, I will talk about the gears:
IPV D2 (@ 38J, 0.2ohms, max temp (as it is kanthal))
Halo juices 6mg (tribeca, subzero, torque56 & belgian cocoa) - I like it with 1.75ml BC, 1.5ml tribeca, 0.25ml T56 & a few drops of SZ, great flavor (close AF to half), great TH
Trinity copa drip tip
Heat sink

Have ordered a Crown from gearbest after reading the reviews here. Still waiting though, been 2 weeks now.

Alright, thanks for reading. Vape on!

Welcome to ECF! Congrats for starting your way to better health. I also like torque56! Looks like you figured it out with your gear and nic juices. Coils are easy, and you can always throw them away if it doesn't work and not worry about spending money on prebuilt coils. Look up tensioned coils for some great ways to build.

Welcome and glad you joined.

@Mountaingirl: thanks! Ill look up tensioned coils. The reason I want to try building is because 1: vaping is banned in my country, getting OCC I almost impossible hence easier to order wires and cotton and 2: many members here dont believe in OCC, flavors and cost altogether. Want to try out and have a taste.

@BrotherBob: thanks!

Welcome and congrats!
Ps you'll love the crown!

@Drinkmilk: thanks! Dying for the uwell to come. Got to drop gearbest an email. Btw, uwell apparently has a clone. Almost bought one from some guy.

Hi and welcome.

Hi New, we are everyone!

End of bad dad style joke.

We are Borg, you will be assimilated. Resistance is futile, you have already been assimilated. One of us, One of us.

And now, for something completely different.

Hello and Welcome jmhoann, I also have a crown tank, hope you like yours when it gets in. If you have any questions feel free to ask, that's what we are here for when we aren't being silly.

 

[Vaping_Racoon]

I agree, this place is kinda like the Borg, watch out mate

 

[jmoahnn]

Haha... thanks for the warm welcome peeps! Thats from star trek right? Ya, this place is a bad place. Im in trouble. Am already reading on different juice concoctions, homemade juices, etc.

With good review on the billow v2, I going to buy it over from a friend, means i'll start building very soon. And with the good reviews on the sigelei 150tc, that same friend is asking me if i want to take it off him, for half the price of a brand new piece. Im so tempted. Only thing stopping me I the wife nagging. Maybe I can hide it in the closet. LOL.

Good budget trick is to throw how much you were spending on smokes every day into a jar. When you have enough for gear or supplies, have at it! At least then you can justify it isn't costing MORE, and is much healthier. Congrats on quitting, and welcome to ECF! Looking foward to seeing you around!

 

[jmoahnn]

Haha... ill try out your suggestion LouisLeBeau!

Just did a build today. Took me an hour. That was tough! Took another hour to resolve the leaking. But it was fun watching youtube videos!

Yes from star trek. Depending on the price your friend is asking, half off the low priced placed today for the pair, would be about the price as a carton of cigarettes. So not much at all really. Besides, what price would she place on your health? I know when my wife and I started, we spent probably 2 months worth of analog money, and vaped for like a year.
