Hi I just want to introduce myself

[Christian Marusic]

hi my name is Christian Marusic, I'm from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.

I had cape for about two month, I'm happy because after been a heavy smoker I finally found something that allows me to continue "smoking" and what I think it's a healthier way to do it.

I'm 41 years old and I want to learn a lot about this new "hobbie".

Regards to all.

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

Congrats on making the transition from smoking to vaping.

If you are 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
• Beginner Video Playlist - by Abby Vapes

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. Many juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG

Welcome and congratulations, Christian Marusic. It really is an interesting and fun filled journey, and you've come to the right place to learn and share.

Congratulations on the switch!! It is a much better way. I started out at a high nicotine level and slowly lowered i. Now it is at 1.5mg per ml. Sometimes I even forget. Very good to switch.

Congratulations and welcome!!
