After finding a decent device, the next thing is to try and find some good juice. I found Heather's Heavenly Vapes. They're based in Georgia, reasonably priced and very delicious! I've been vaping HHV for about 5 years now and still haven't gone through all their flavors. Of course, that's mainly because I usually vape NETs (Naturally Extracted Tobaccos; and they have 14 of those!) I can't say enough good things about these juices. They're clean burning; you have options on most to choose PG/VG and Nic levels. You can even add extra flavor or no flavor if you like.

Welcome aboard ecf. I have not been here long and am here to make online friends. Learn and keep up on Vaping.
Not enough Nic in eJuice almost put me off of vaping. I started with a eGo and would go thru a tank in 2-3 hours. That was using 6mg Nic, I found that on that device I need a 18mg. I use vape systems that put out a lot more vaper now so I rarely use 18mg, I drip at 6-9mg. I use a 12mg in my Reaper tanks I carry most places but when I use a cloud beast type I go back to 6mg most of the time.

I have only been vaping 8-9 months. I am a quick study and into DIY of my coils and juice. I keep 100mg Nic on hand for mixing and adjusting the Nic level on ejuice I buy. When I buy now I always pick 3 or 6mg as I can always add more.

Hope I did not confuse you too much.

Hi,
New to vaping. Was smoking around 20 a day. Stopped and started vaping after 1 month. The craving to Cig was starting to play on my mind.
Started with a PockeX but wasn't satisfied. Moved to a Smok Alien with Baby beast.

Still trying to find my go to Juice and mg.

Welcome @Sham

Juice choice is personal, but I find I can vape all sorts of mg strengths these days if I change the power enough. I'm not sure that's so easy for a new convert, but in general I don't support the theory of 'naming' the strength based on how many per day. 20 is not little and not lots (I'm sure you understand) and would suggest not being too scared of stronger rather than weaker.

Welcome to the forum. I'm only 21 days into vaping/off cigs but have already dropped from starting with 6mg using Smok Stick V8 Big Baby Beast M2 0.25ohm coil (Stick V8 fixed output, would be similar to Alien around 35w). After 5 days went to 4.5mg 5 days later 3mg. I do vape alot FWIW. Moved up for the Stick V8 6 days ago for watt control. Since I'm going through a lot of juice been looking for affordable juice. Using Vapewild and so far satisfied. Not fruity or desserts strictly tobacco juices.

The right juice is essential. Congrats! Welcome to ECF!

    Welcome aboard @Sham. Maybe try a few sampler juice packages. Don't forget that any juices you sample in a shop (if they are allowed to do so..) will most probably taste different between your device and theirs.

    Most likely it's been said but, Juice is probably the hardest part to pick imho. So many options, nic strengths, but the alien kit is considered sub 0hm (ie:coils under 1 0hm resistance) juice premade for these usually only has 3-6mg nicotine which i found wasen't enough for me to stop during the first month with the cravings i had. I started with something more mtl (mouth to lung setup) and a 15mg juice i vaped through a whole month without realizing it but now that i do sub 0hm can't lie flavor is way too good to go back xD and i've heard lots of good about the alien ! But yeah if you want higher than 6mg nicotine for your alien kit i personally don't advise to as 6 for direct to lung hit are way harsher with 15 mg (believe me i tried lol).

    Welcome to ECF! As far as juices, as a general caution, I'd try maybe some "multi-packs" of small volume of juices (like 10 ml) to try a bunch, many vape lines offer that option, including letting you choose flavors, unless you can go to your local vape shop and taste test some. I buy in much smaller volume ATM as I am still trying to find juices I like, and that has served me well. Same thing with flavorings for DIY, I bought small amounts to start, as if I hate something I'm either going to not vape it, or vape it (resentfully) so as to get rid of the juice, which makes vaping unpleasant, so it's not cool. When I DIY I also plan to start with small batches, as I'm quite sure I will make something(s) I find gross, and would like to feel less guilty when tossing it.

    If you like nic flavors, everyone seems to think NET juices are the way to go.

    Don't forget to experiment with your VG/PG ratio, you might buy some unflavored VG/PG so you can dilute/change ratios by adding VG or PG as needed, and of course your nic level will make a difference, too....

    Hope that helped a bit, this is one area where recommendations can only POINT you in a direction, you'll have to taste for yourself :)

    Welcome and glad you joined.
    I found that basic vape flavors can pretty much be classified into a few groups. I concentrated on the Tobacco group and move on to bakery. Finding a group you like may help.
