Hi there

[TJdublin]

So I figure there's no time like the present to watch a polar bear cross the ice

*runs over the ice *crack!!*

Anyway, enough with the madness. So I recently have been trying to keep with vaping and not smoke tobacco. It's taken a bit of time and some experimenting but I think I finally got my vape kit working in a way that doesnt taste like burnt coils, a really nasty taste or the irratating juice spit that hits the roof of my mouth.

I haven't been vaping long, maybe 2 or 3 days I think. But you can be sure I'll be scouring these forums looking for advice to get the most out of the cloud.

At the moment I'm using the Kbox mini mod at 215 celcius and 22 watts with e juice sitting at the 6mg strength with 0.5 SSOCC coils. I was at the very beginning using 12mg juice but I kept getting nausous with it and dropped to the 6mg.

Looking forward to contributing and enjoying a healthier life

Slan!

Hi and welcome! It's always a great thing when we find something that works for our needs. Sounds like you got a decent setup going.

Hi and welcome! The concentration of nic that will work best for you will be effected by both how much you normally smoke, and what type of equipment you're using to vape. Generally a lower ohm setup like it sounds you have will require a lower concentration, which is pretty much what you found.

Welcome. You came to the right forum to ask and learn...

 

[TJdublin]

Thank you for the welcome mat ;P
I'm liking the 6mg at the moment. I'm also looking at creating my own Juices, but thats for another day, still have a heap of premade to go through.

Yeh, but time is ticking. Most shops are already running down stocks of nicotine base and then..well.. We'll all be at the mercy of just a few (tobacco?) companies selling 10ml of 18mg for twice the prices today.

 

[TJdublin]

Hmm I better start stocking up

Yes, sadly. The Nic base is what's most important. You can freeze it or buy and keep cool in the delivery box. I have 2018 expiry but hope to reach 2020. Look into it.

PS. Like everything in the e-cig world base liquids vary in price. It's more expensive UK than USA. I'll research for you. Even before looking I can tell you normal e-cig shops are charging 2x or even 3x the price. iirc some places are charging £19.99 for 100ml of base (72mg). I got 500ml for £35 - that's better than paying £99.95!

£19.99 is quite steep for 100ml of 72mg base, even in UK. There are sites and stores based in UK I've personally used that sell 100ml of 72mg base for about £8. I do have a nice stockpile of nic myself, enough to make 5L of 4mg/ml liquid, or 10L of 2mg/ml.

It's better to stock up now, than be too late and not have anything to vape on.

A guy I work with is picking up 0.3 nico (500ml), 100 PG (500ml), and 2 bottles of flavoring for about £30 ish. Whn i see him on Monday / tuesday I'll ask him where he's picking it up. I only know he has this as he made me a sample bottle when I forgot mine

Ask your friend to ask about 72mg (or 54mg). That's the supplies that are needed most!

No worries, i'll text him now but I doubt he'll answer

Sorry about the late reply, work has been awful last few weeks.
So my mate said he gets all his stuff from ebay, mostly retailers from amsterdam or the US
