Hey all, I've been lurking in this site for about a week, reading heavily on the different threads about vaping. I'm 20 from the Philippines and the vape culture here is pretty good but misinformation can be pretty wild so I try to get as much info as I can.
I'm not sure if I can label myself as an ex-smoker, but I've definitely had a few sticks over the past 2 years (but less than a pack for sure). My first cigarettes were while drunk and anxious, downing about 5-10 sticks (I forgot but I'm sure it was more than 5 and less than half a pack) in the span of an hour. After that, I haven't touched a stick in almost 8 months until I got really really anxious and probably depressed, where I wound up smoking 3 sticks while on my long walk home. After that about 4-6 months later I think, I had another 2 sticks for the same reasons.
I usually alleviate my stress/anxiety/depression by walking a lot, I typically walk about 7-10km depending on the weather and my mood. With this situation and lockdown, I've been doubly stressed with trying to figure things out as well as online classes (I'm a college 2nd year). It's gotten me to crave cigarettes again to get that "big chill" and at this rate if I choose to get my chill through cigarettes, I'll be stuck there that's why I chose vaping instead.
My first device was the Geekvape Frenzy, I love the form factor and the device itself. I actually found myself just holding it and playing with it in my hand than actually vaping it. A couple days later, I bought the Vapefly Jester. I actually prefer it more than the Frenzy because of the rebuildable deck which I love as I'm fond of doing DIY stuff. Building coils and wicking them also adds to that "zen" feeling that I get when I normally restore gadgets (also a hobby).
I vape 3mg Cola juice and recently got a 0mg lychee juice that were both made locally (most liquids here appear to be local). Planning on switching completely to 0mg cola if I find a retailer that sells it in that flavor. I don't vape all that often, usually going at about 1ml at 9-22W (depending on what device I use).
That's pretty much all there is to it, I look forward to reading some tips/tricks/hacks that y'all can suggest to have the best vaping experience possible. Nice to meet everyone!
