Hi

[ryankidd]

Hey everyone.

So, I am from the Caribbean, recently moved to the US. I've been a smoker for about 8-9 years, with a few breaks in between. As of last week, I switched to e-cigarettes... And not once have I craved a real cigarette. Started off with bad flavors and tanks, but now I've found those that I like. I'm considering sticking to vaping for good rather than use it as a means to quit altogether. Hoping I can learn and contribute to this community!

Welcome to the community and congratulations on making the switch.
Good luck and good choice.

Welcome! I'm sure that you will find answers, one thing I've seen in the short time I've been a vaper is that someone on this forum has found a solution to your problem!

Hello and Welcome ryankidd! Glad to have ya here at ECF and there's loads of advice to be given and to learn! Happy Vapin'!!

 

[ryankidd]

Thank you. Yes, simply reading certain threads, I've learnt a lot of information. From simply just packing a new sealed pack of cigarettes and just lighting one up to having to charge a battery, replace coils, clean tanks, wicks, etc... got a lot to learn to avoid losing on a good investment

ryankidd...

There is tons of information here in these forums. I have been vaping off / on since 2010 and can say that I am excited to have found this community and just realizing how friendly everyone here and elsewhere has been regarding vaping.

You will enjoy the honesty on these forums.

Welcome

I've only recently noticed that there is a forum and a LARGE community. I thought I was alone on many things. lol. Been the only one trying to convince my campus to allow e-cigs, and decided to read up more and found this

There is a lot of data at the CASAA website about vaping. If you need studies and reports about vaping to help inform your campus authorities, check it out here.

Membership is also easy to get if you want to and it's free. That page is here. CASAA does a lot of good work supporting vaping in the US.

Quick question, if anyone can answer:

My tank leaks a lot, I have not found a solution. If I continue vaping, I can try to avoid the intake of liquid, however, a small amount does spit up. Should I stop? Or is it harmless in small amounts?

 

[Ryedan]

It is harmless in small quantities like what happens when it spits. It just does really not taste any good, as I'm sure you're finding out!

Just don't drink a bottle of juice

I had the same problem when I started with iclear 16s. It doesn't happen so much anymore. Just dab a q tip in the mouthpiece to clean it out and wipe off your mouth.
